[edit] Identity crisis

Um..., In case you didn't notice, this guy isn't a real user. The Republican 20:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Um..., I have a feeling that they knew that. I mean, doesn't every user get something like that posted on their talk page? shijeru 06:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

It's an automatically generated message. Notice the {{PAGENAME}} tag. Koweja 19:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

That "Welcome!" thing is automatically generated? How come I never got one? (harrumpf!)Ye Olde Luke 23:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

No the WP:WC add it to new user's talk pages. --Chris ^g 02:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Its a template. Normal users (like me when im bored) send them to people via Special:Log/newusers. --Jay^Tur₁ (Contribs) 20:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Even nobodies get welcomed on wiki!

Actually, it's not really an automatically generated message, some people don't even get them. The fact is that some boring people like me have no better things to do than to go on a little webpage that shows all new users. Then, people put {{subst:Welcome}} on their user talk page to welcome them. The {{BASEPAGENAME}} variable is used just to speed things up. By the way, { {PAGENAME}} doesn't work because there's a space there. Also, when trying to give examples, use the <nowiki></nowiki> and <code></code> tags. --Leon2323 20:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note

Ha! A non-existing user and a liar! Contrary to what the userbox says, this user did make one edit. I call for an indef block. Such lies cannot be tolerated! What an "example" for newbies!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Isn't User:SampleUser also an Example User. Nocturnal Wanderer ^sign 03:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

No, it isn't. There is no such user. I've deleted the user/talk pages to avoid confusion when someone claims that username. --cesarb 00:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free images removed from your user page

Hello, Example. I've removed some images from User:Example/DanielTAR, as they are copyrighted images that are not available under a sufficiently free license and are therefore being used on Wikipedia under claims of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no non-free images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia non-free content policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. These images have not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 06:33, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Succession Box Standardization

Greetings, Example. I could not help noticing the significant work you have done on userboxes, infoboxes, and templates in general; it is truly magnificent. We have thus thought that you may be interested in editing succession boxes, those little boxes at the bottom of articles that show peoples' predecessors and successors. SBS is dealing with those very useful templates but is currently badly understaffed and in urgent need of contributors. Therefore, we would thus be delighted if you should decide to join us and assist us in our noble task; we are certain that your experience and expertise shall be extremely useful to us.

[edit] Wikipedia is not Myspace

I think it's apalling that people are using Example's talk page to chat with him. Have we forgotten what Wikipedia Is Not? The User in question isn't even answering. Let's not invade his space! Amit 14:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philosophy

What is the nature of the universe?

What is "real"? If this user exists, (and should we not concede the user does in fact, exist, as we are reading this page) then is said user "real"? Does existence validate reality? Are we real? Are we really reading this user's page? Does the fact that User:Example is listed in a great variety of areas on Wikipedia increase the user's worth? Does edit count equal validity? If a user has no edits, does it mean the user doesn't exist?

If User:Example falls in a forest, is a sound heard?

What really exists? What is reality? Can anything be "known" with certainty?

The act of observing, disturbs the observed. Therefore, perhaps our viewing this page is, in itself, disturbing User:Example in such a way that causes the user to not respond.

I for one, choose to believe this user exists. And I shall continue to make an example (pun intended) of the user whenever the situation arises. ^Ariel♥Gold 01:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Thank you for your contribution to User_talk:Example, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral.

If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. Thank you. You're not funny! cmelbye^talk! 20:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions, such as the edit you made to Wikipedia:Signatures. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. — scetoaux (T/C) 04:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Just kidding, by the way. — scetoaux (T/C) 04:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User:Smartguy777, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Remember, peppermint is delicious and don't vandalise Wikpedia. Smartguy777 (talk) 06:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC).

[edit] Unacceptable username

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because it is a blatant violation of our username policy - it is obviously profane, attacks or impersonates another person, or clearly suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and trolling or other disruptive behavior is unacceptable.

[edit] Example's edit count is being considered for deletion

I put this on WP:MfD, because I believe its only purpose is to encourage editcountitis. Everyone is invited to give his/her opinion on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Example/Edittemplate. Cheers, Face 11:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I replaced the editcountitis userbox with more construtive userboxes[1]. Still unsure about adding:

This user sometimes or always feels useless on wikipedia.

--Enric Naval (talk) 15:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it is funny, but I think three userboxes is more than enough. Cheers, Face 17:00, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

He, for some reason, I am unable to center those boxes! Weird. - Face 17:03, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

They must have the "float" CSS attribute set to "left", so any "center" tag will do nothing to them --Enric Naval (talk) 17:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't knew that float properties override align attributes. As a work around, I have now put the boxes in a box. We still can't center them that way of course, but I have centered the whole thing somewhat by giving it a left margin, and also made it invisible. I think this is better. How do you like it? - Face 17:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

It looks good now. Float makes lots of strange things to layouts. --Enric Naval (talk) 20:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Just to let casual onlookers know, the result of the MfD was delete. - Face 21:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

If Example gets lost in a desert, will he find his way back to the nearest city?

If Example lands in the sea, will he find his way back to land? If example lands in a galaxy called MB-456, will he find his way back to the milky way?
