[edit] Capitalism userbox

Thanks for letting me know about the problem with User:SwitChar/User-capitalism. I've now (finally) corrected it, so feel free to add the box back to your page if you wish. Cheers. ~ Switch (✉✍☺☒) 06:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

This editor thinks Wikipedia should be more lenient with copyrighted images and supports fair use.

This editor thinks that without images, an article is useless.

This editor is a hardcore Wikipedia inclusionist.

Hope this was what you wanted! -- penubag (talk) 23:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! I do have some released, see User:Penubag/templates/Userboxes. I only released a few because I'm too lazy to release them all. When I have time, I will do them all (unless you want to :)).

[edit] Time userbox

Yeah, sadly you will have to update the time yourself when the DST changes. What is your offset? If I was in the UK for example, I would probably be in +1(UTC/GMT)[1] so I would use...

{{User:Tkgd2007/Userboxes/My time|+1}}

It is approximately 10:28 PM where this user lives. +

Hope this helps! _{TIM KLOSKE|TALK} 20:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

no offset, im on gmt but the offset is +1 for daylight savings during the summer, so is there any uk standart time tag i can put into a userbox so it works all year round to say what time it is for me Machete97 (talk) 21:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for being interested in "How to copy-edit"

"Recognize" is a word that is often misspelled in Commonwealth countries, especially Britain, and the common misspelling (over 20M Google hits!) is exactly why it makes a good example as a mistake people are likely to find that they can correct. Very few dictionaries list "recognise" at all. Merriam-Webster lists it as a British variant, but doesn't have an entry for it. What's going on is pretty clear...it comes from the Latin word "recognizare", so it's "recognize", but Brits are so used to seeing American spellings with -ize that they write as -ise that some of them assume that every American word with -ize should be spelled -ise; not so. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 02:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

argh. i dont have any problems about the -ize or -ise thing. you clearly know a lot more about that than i do. i just think referring to standard english and british english as seperate things is wrong. since when has there been a "standard english" anyway ? theres too many varieties for that. you'll notice that ALL I WAS EDITING I DIDNT TOUCH THE BIT ABOUT ISE OR IZE. Machete97 (talk) 17:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Now I understand. I was mainly reverting so that we say "all" rather than "some"...that's the point...but you are right that the word "standard" could come across as preferring one variety over another. I just deleted it. - Dan Dank55 (talk)(mistakes) 18:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Just think of "The PlayStation Project" as a nickname. Nothing serious. Also thanks for the comment on my "i-have-no-formatting-skills" userpage.--Playstationdude (talk) 19:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Do not feed the trolls

I understand your frustration with the anon IP at FTW but remember an important guideline is do not feed the trolls. Towards that extent your future comments towards vandals should be carefully considered and neutral at all times. Best wishes.--VS ^talk 02:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
