[edit] Fellow Oregonian

Hello, I noticed that you are using the {{User_oregon}} template. Just wondering where you found it, and if there are any improvements that you can think of. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one using it! --Dschor 00:21, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Protecting your userboxes

Because of the current campaign against userboxes, it's pretty likely that many of your boxes are going to get deleted from their template space soon (especially your Flying Spaghetti Monsterism box and your political boxes, but in general, any boxes that could be considered to express a point of view someone might disagree with). These templates could very possibly be deleted in the next week or two. The best (and really, only) way to protect those userboxes is to perform a "substitute" command on each one of them, which will put the code directly into your page, instead of calling on the template every time your page is loaded. That way, when the template is deleted, it has no effect on the code resident on your page.

In order to do this, go into your user page, and wherever you have a template, insert "subst" inside the brackets. So,

{{template name}} becomes {{subst:template name}}

and your userboxes will all take up residence on your page. Sometimes this makes the formatting funky, and will require some tweaking in the code to restore the layout of your boxes as they were before. If you have any questions about this, please drop me a line. Regards, JDoorjam Talk 23:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject South Park

I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:

• Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
• Merge/lengthen the many character articles
• Improve the South Park main page

I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks, Mr. Garrison

[edit] Goat Rocks

You commented at Talk:Goat Rocks a year ago. Another editor has proposed merging the relevant content back into Mount St. Helens, for your information. Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old page on your website

Hi, a long long time ago on your website you had a humour page about Sailor Moon 200+ episodes. I was wondering if you still have it somewhere, maybe on your harddrive. I seem to remember thinking it was pretty funny. You should put it back up. Hazelorb 00:25, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!! That page is too funny to be offline. XD Hazelorb 19:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
