I Was Just wondering

Im pretty much new to wikipedia and i was wondering how to get those cool little boxes with a picture and writing in it, many thanks User:PorygonX

You need to brackets like this for example:

[[File:Kobe Bryant retired HS.jpg|thumb|220px|Bryant's retired #33 jersey and banner at the Lower Merion High School [[gym]].]]

Institution of mechanical engineers

Hi You sent me a comment regarding the removal of information from the IMechE page on the engineering heritage awards.

I am removing the information as it is incorrect and was not meant to be there but on a separate page entirely. I had not realized that it went live yesterday and I am removing all EHA content until I can upload all the information next week.

I am the Comms manager for the institution and secretariat for the awards programme - hence have IMechE1 as my login.

Thanks

That vandal

Thanks for helping with that vandal just now. One point, though: users are allowed to remove warnings from their talk pages - that's taken as meaning that they have read them, and of course they are still there in the history. You shouldn't revert a user on his own talk page, because it just leads to edit wars, and may inflame a situation unnecessarily (though that guy didn't need any inflaming!) Even IP users are allowed to remove warnings - there are only a few exceptions - the policy is at WP:BLANKING. It's not really a good idea to taunt someone on his user page after he's been blocked, either, however much he deserves it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, because I'm still learning. Wayne Olajuwon chat 16:22, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't we all! Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 16:25, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Wayne Olajuwon chat 16:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks, Wayne, for keeping my personal pages free of vandalism. Regards, Pinethicket (talk) 17:45, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, PineThicket! Wayne Olajuwon chat 17:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About Greig's music in popular culture

How was this edit unconstructive? There is absolutely nothing unconstructive about adding an instance of a particular piece of music in popular culture to an article about that piece of music in popular culture.

You didn't cite a reference to say that it's true. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:13, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He reverted it again, it seems he is persistent on adding this information.--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 23:40, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he is. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:43, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thanks

No problem, also thank to you for the revert on my page. Tbhotch^Talk ^C. 01:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, too. Wayne Olajuwon chat 01:22, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BITE

Ouch! A 4im for one removal of a speedy template? Was that really necessary? 4im warnings are supposed to be reserved for the most egregious acts, not misguided newbies. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:46, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry. Wayne Olajuwon chat 01:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism by special:contributions/81.147.176.25

FYI special:contributions/81.147.176.25 (who you just reverted) has jumped from commons after a block for vandalism there: commons:special:contributions/81.147.176.25 Jeremyb (talk) 01:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He's trying to bring the vandalism from there to here. Wayne Olajuwon chat 01:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

20th Century Fox Television

Page was a multiple copydrop (someone copy-pasted the pagetext multiple times to make it huge); I've reverted back to 'clean' version. HalfShadow 22:37, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay, but did that user get warned? Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just did now; I'm doing about four things here. It's a random IP and from yesterday, so it may or may not even matter. HalfShadow 22:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It may or may not matter that it's a random IP that you warned. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The IP's only edits were this. Some IPs tend to be hit and runs: they post once and that's it. Should warn them anyway, just to say you have, but a fair number of them poke us with a stick and then leave. HalfShadow 22:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those IPs want to vandalize and then leave so they won't be blocked. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

IP & user

FYI: User:71.84.42.198 is User:CandaceFrazee who has logged out after being warned and evading. Cheers,

He should be reported as a sock puppet. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JRDNMusic request

Hi. Thanks for the report at WP:AIV but I declined to block this editor. We normally don't block people unless they've gotten multiple warnings and are still misbehaving. Me make some exceptions; these include sockpuppets, especially atrocious behaviour, etc. but I don't think that fits this case. I think maybe he's just new around here. If you warn this editor multiple times and there's still a problem, let us know.

Thanks for watching over our articles. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and your welcome. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I gotta say, that last IP vandal on your talk page was pretty funny.--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 23:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it was. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
