As an editing courtesy, please place all comments or feedback on the "Discussion" page only and not on this page.

 

As of July 11, 2010 my signature changed to: Austex • Talk  
For my own editorial remarks I now use "North Texas Green" color #059033
Which apparently originated HERE

Current Projects

[edit]
1) I am currently making regular edits to these and other Central Texas articles:


2) Developing and maintaining several articles on "alternative Wiki" sites
because they were otherwise deemed not notable enough for Wikipedia.
Just ask if you'd like to see them and I will give you the url
At least one is being extensively re-edited from scratch, with a neutral point of view,
for possible re-submittal to Wikipedia.


3) Experimenting with creating new userboxes and other items on Wikipedia in the sandbox
4) Experimenting with text boxes with varying background colors

[edit]
  • How to create a Talkback {{talkback|User Talk:Austex}} -- or -- {{talkback|User Talk:Austex/section}} on the respondents talk page.


  • (Note: Pre-prepared citations from local books and resources re Round Rock, Georgetown and Williamson County are are available at: [User:Austex/Sandbox]


  • Wikipedia has an automatic "citation generator" located HERE
You just fill in the blanks and it generates a relatively decent fully formatted citation.


  • Or feel free to copy and paste the following citation formats into your article and then fill in the blanks:


  • WEB CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate= }}</ref>


  • NEWS CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite news |title= |first= | last= |coauthors= |newspaper= |date= |url= |accessdate= }}</ref>


  • BOOK CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite book |title= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages= |url= |ISBN= |accessdate= }}</ref>
(Note: On books the ISBN number is important but can use either the 10 or 13 digit ISBN number)


  • CITE JOURNAL: . . .<ref>{{Cite journal| last= | first = | authorlink= | coauthors= | title= | journal = | volume= | issue= | pages= | publisher= | location= | date= | url= | issn= | doi= | id= | accessdate = }}</ref>

Article texts site

[edit]
  • User:Austex/Special Page/Article_Texts is used to place full articles or portions of articles that are only available through paid archive subscriptions. In such cases the actual text is transposed to this page.
.

Use of COLOR

[edit]
  • To simplify, hit edit and then copy the code below and insert your color # (don't forget to use the # sign before the actual color number):
Bold colored text #800080 goes here
  • Here is how the code actually looks in edit format:
<span style="color:#800080">''' Bold colored text #800080 goes here''' </span>
Translates as: Bold colored text #800080 goes here
  • For a complete list of all available colors you can use click: HERE


  • For my own editorial remarks I use "North Texas Green" color #059033
I copy this code: ' text here '



Formatting

[edit]


  • For large type use {{{ 1 }}} with <span style="font-size:large">{{{ 1 }}}</span>




  • For carriage returns and spacing, use: <br> for line break; or <\nl> for new line; or {{pad|4em}} where the number is an amount of length in px.


  • Code for creating a box (change color code #FFAD2 for a different background color):
{{-}}<div align="center"> {| style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; text-align: center; border-left: black 1px solid; background-color: #d8ffd8 ; border-top: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid" class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" width="30%" |- ! Text goes here, this background color is #D8FFD8, and the box size is 30% wide. |} </div> :::Translates as:
Text goes here, this background color is #d8ffd8, and the box size is 30% wide.


  • For conflicts of interest edits use template: {{Request edit}}


  • For leaving a talkback note use: {{talkback|User or talk name|Section}}
