Thanks for the welcome, Spinboy! That's really kind :) --Markzero 21:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I know American Sign Language, it's quite easy to learn. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 22:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Name display
Choose preferences, and using wikicode, simply enter the image tag same as you would on a page in the box with your nickname. So mine uses [[Image:Ottawa flag.png|20px]] [[User:Spinboy|Spinboy]] I hope this helps. If you also want a link to your talk page, at the end of what I have, you would also add [[User talk:Spinboy|whatever you want it to say here]]. --Image:Ottawa flag.png Spinboy 23:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Image crazy"
Hi Markzero,
I see that you are using Image:MacminiAPPLE.jpg on your user page. Since this image is fair use and was removed from the only article it was usen on on November 28, it's a speedy deletion candidate after December 5. I would suggest that you use the free replacement that was also used on Mac mini, namely Image:MacminiWhiteBGSmall.jpg, on your user page instead - at that size it should look nearly identical anyway. -- grm_wnr Esc 00:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ehm... also note that I'm not User:Jrdioko (he only welcomed me), but thanks anyway :) (I noticed your message when I checked up on the image while deleting it, in case you're wondering) -- grm_wnr Esc 00:59, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, dear, that was lame of me. Anyway, you got the message. I'd have stuck the response here but your talk page is over 30K and I seemed to have trouble adding text to it. Thanks again! --Markzero 16:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of List of local children's television series (United States)
An editor has nominated List of local children's television series (United States), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of local children's television series (United States) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
