Deletion of content talk page

You should not delete content from your talk page. Unless you can demonstrate to me that it is all backed up in archives, I will restore it into an archive. αѕєηιηє t/c 15:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I do apologise I was under the impression one was allowed to delete the contents of ones talk page if that is what one wanted. Would you please cite a wiki rule before I agree to anything? Thank you --Camaeron

Actually, ignore me. WP:TPG says you can delete them, but it is preferred that you don't. I can restore them into an archive for ease of viewing (but this page could still remain blank) if you wish? αѕєηιηє t/c 15:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes please it would be much appreciated! Would you mind showing me how? That way I wont need to bother you in future! --Camaeron

Instructions are at WP:AATP, I use this method. αѕєηιηє t/c 15:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Its easier than it looks after all! --Camaeron

Queen discussion

I'm going to take the discussion of "the queen" to Elizabeth's talk page. Gareth E Kegg 14:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Archives

Well there we go then! Remember not to add new entries, but to make a new archive, add it there with the {{talkprotected}} template on both header and footer. Then just add it to /Archives. Have a nice day. αѕєηιηє t/c 16:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

List of Australian monarchs

Hello Camaeron. Seeing as you've created that article, perhaps you'd be interested in the discussion taking place about its existance. GoodDay (talk) 18:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me about the discussion. Looks like its the usual bunch of monarchists again! --Camaeron

PS: By the way, I'm a republican. However, I find having an interest in & editing on subjects I oppose? helps make me pratice NPOV on Wikipedia. I've managed it so well (sorta patting myself on the back), that G2bambino once suspected I was a 'closet monarchist'. GoodDay (talk) 18:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I certainly thought you were.. I stand corrected...--Camaeron

Shame on you for getting rid of the entire controversial remarks section. People worked long and hard on those comments, including citing responsible sources, and for you to unilaterally remove them all is MOST UNWIKIPEDIALIKE. Insensitive and controversial remarks about such a public figure are most assuredly important in a wiki article, as this is an encyclopedia and NOT the Royal Family's PR site. You should have started a discussion rather than simply taking it upon yourself to remove an entire and large and important section of the article. In the future, please attempt some compromise or discussion rather than deeming yourself the arbiter of what is appropriate or not. Thank you for your adherence to this in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.124.149.222 (talk) 21:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Who? me?

As one of the users I come accross most frequently I would like to ask your permission to nominate you for adminship! Your work is always of good quality, your unbiased attitude is extraordinary and your opinions are always objective and well sourced! --Camaeron

I'm flattered, honestly. But, I'll have to deliver a Shermanistic statement on such a nomination - Why? I don't feel I've the qualifications or patients for such a responsibility (you haven't seen me on the Ice Hockey talk-pages. I can be quite hot-headed at times, there). I've seen the questions asked of Administrator-nominees qualifications (I didn't understand most of their questions); I'm certain I'd flunk them. Again, I'm flattered; but I must decline. GoodDay (talk) 20:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, I'm completely against having 'diacritics' on English Wikipedia; further proof of my unsuitablility. GoodDay (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
You know who??? The questions arent that bad. Besides you have thousands of edits, thats bound to help! Have a look at them at WP:RFA. Im going to run for adminship myself in a few days. If I make it you definitely will. You have thousands more edits than me! --Camaeron

Grsz's you know who comment, is meant for a group of pro-diacritics editors at the Ice Hockey articles; he ain't hinting at you. I'll support you for Administrator, but I won't support me. GoodDay (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You oughtn't support me if you wouldn't support yourself. You are far more experienced on wikipedia than I am! Im certain you'd be a brilliant admin! --Camaeron

Again, I'm flattered. But, I must (again) decline nomination; there's simply too much responsibility involved in being an Administrator. PS- I'm taking my 3-year old niece outside to play in the snow for awhile. I shall return within about an hour. PPS- you've got my support for Admin'. GoodDay (talk) 17:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

If youre sure. But you really oughn't if you would run for adminship yourself. One rule fits all...--Camaeron

You've still got my support. GoodDay (talk) 18:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't be persuaded to accept nomination. I'm not fit for Administratorship. GoodDay (talk) 19:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You may not think so but many people do! --Camaeron

Many don't think so, aswell. GoodDay (talk) 19:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Canadian Majesty

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Canadian Majesty, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Canadian Majesty. —BradV 13:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for adminship

Hey Camaeron! I've noticed you around the 'pedia quite a few times now, and it is clear that you are a dedicated and enthusiastic editor, but after reading your last RFA, I'd urge you not to go back to RFA in 3 days. As an unwritten rule, a second RFA goes back after 3 months, see my first one in October and my second (successful) attempt in January. This is because people will be able to see clear definitions of progression and it will better reflect what you may have (but not necessarily seen to have, i.e. few edits but a bit of knowledge). If you have any other queries you can always contact me on my talk page or join IRC (help?) where you can ask others about what to do. Regards, Rudget. 19:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

It was declared "no consensus". Anything below 75% is generally closed as that, the percentages can be seen at the RFA report. Rudget. 19:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:) Rudget. 19:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, I will wait a while...--Camaeron

Who? Me?, part II

Again, I'm flattered. But again, I must decline nomination. GoodDay (talk) 17:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Would you pull out if I nominated you with out your consent? --[[User:Camaeron

I don't believe you can nominate me for Administrator, without my consent. Atleast, I've never heard of such a movement on Wikipedia. Interesting though (RFA rules), I can neither vote for (understandibly) 'or' against (interestingly) myself; if I had accepted nomination. GoodDay (talk) 18:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Greetings

I see you are pretty interested in the RFA process. Would you mind poking around my contribs and such a bit and seeing what you think I would need to work on in order to become an admin? Thanks a lot. Grsz 11 06:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Grsz11! You can see my Rfa Requirements here. As you can see there you have just reached my requirements and would only have to give satisfying answers in your Rfa to gain my "support vote". However it should be noted that most people have higher Rfa requirements than I do. The first thing most people will as you about is your relatively low edits on Talk pages. Other than that you are doing quite well. Your user page is Rfa-friendly. Most Rfa contributers look for "geeky" stuff such as "Pages I created" and "Ongoing contribs". Then there is the famous Kurt Weber (or something like that) who will object to any self nomination and say something along the lines of "I view a self nom as prima facie evidence of power hunger". You can run for adminship as many time as you like so you can enter yourself whenever you feel ready. The up side is: Even if you dont pass the rfa you will be given lots of tips on how to suceed next time! When you feel ready I will nominate ýou, if you wish. That should prevent Kurt from opposing! Also you can check the percentage of votes here. Generally only rfa's with over 75 per cent pass. Any more questions, dont hesitate to ask! hope I have been of some help. --Camaeron (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC) PS: This page is also very helpful Wikipedia:GRFA!

KBE

Consensus regarding British post-nominals was achieved long ago, and is set forth in WP:NCNT. It has been discussed specifically in relation to Bill Gates here, here, here, here, here, and here. I have nothing to add. WillOakland (talk) 08:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Camaeron! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.


--Zeitgespenst (talk) 15:56, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

A closet monarchist?

These questions arent really wikipedia related but Ive been meaning to ask you them for a while: Firstly: Why do you patrol and take an active interest in Monarchy and royal related subjects if you are a Republican? Why do you dislike The Queen? --Camaeron

Hmm, G2bambino asked me those question, about a year ago. A) I prefer editing & posting topics that I oppose, because it's a strong test of my ability to control my political PoVs. B) I've never met the Queen personally, so I neither like her or dislike. But, I oppose 'monarchy' in general. For example: EII2 station in life, was secured by executions & military slaughters via orders of her monarchial ancesters. Bascially, her thrones have the blood of innocent lives splattered on it. Yes, I know there's been executions etc, in Republics aswell (France's reign of terror, comes to mind). But, I just don't like the idea that the 'people' don't get to choose their Head of State. GoodDay (talk) 16:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Good answers. I hate it when people state they hate the Queen because they hate the monarchy. The two aren't synonyms after all. But after all most families have are guilty of blood shed. I can say that personally. And the ironic thing about my family is, as we are spread throughout England, Scotland, Germany, France and Russia, some of my ancestors fought against each other. I must commend you for you NPOV it really is "top knotch"!--Camaeron

I appreciate that, alot. Thanks Camaeron. GoodDay (talk) 17:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Double Voting

I see you have inadventently cast 2 votes one in the neutral section and 1 in support.Can you strike out one of them.[1] More clear here [2]Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 11:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it's solved...--Camaeron

Thanks it is now solved.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 11:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


LoAM

What do my comments have to do with me wanting to be an admin?

My comment about admin: an admin would not try to move someone from a talk page, would they? But I don't want to labour the point. We have here a mnisunderstanding, I think. Cheers.--Gazzster (talk) 20:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I would like to apologise for any offence caused and am glad we were able to resolve our minor "disagreement" amicably. Keep up the good work in monarchy-related topics...--Camaeron

Thank you. And I apologise for misunderstanding you. The problem with writing: we can't express intentions and emotions very well.--Gazzster (talk) 20:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Lieutenant Governor of NY

Well I just heard on TV there won't be a lieutant governor can you justify that reversion? Thanx --Nicholas Weiner (talk) 17:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Information has to be sourced. I'm afraid "I just heard it on TV" doesnt quite qualify as a source...--Camaeron

AfD nomination of List of Australian monarchs

An editor has nominated List of Australian monarchs, 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 Australian monarchs 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) 17:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Cool

How did you do the top of your talk page?

I've just been re-reading my talk page messages, and find it awful I didn't respond! Sorry about that. I actually stole it of Mailer Diablo. :D Rudget. 18:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

The Exceptional Newcomer Award
I've been trying to find this barnstar/message for the past thirty-so minutes, but at least I found it. You're starting to impress me with your various understandings and undertakings on the Wiki, and you can only develop from here. You've started off brilliantly, and if this trend continues, who knows...we may have our budding Jimbo up and running in no time! :) Rudget. 18:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:AIV

I assume as a non-admin I cant be very helpful on AIV?

You assume wrong - particularly in relation to bot reports, or reports posted automatically (for example, by people using Twinkle). Things that you can do include :

  • checking the talk page of users to be sure that they have been given a proper, escalating, set of warnings (or a {{vand4im}} warning, for example, if the vandalism was serious enough to merit it);
  • if they've been given proper warnings (the last of which should have been "if you do it again, you will be blocked", checking their contributions to see if they have vandalised after that final warning. If they haven't, then they shouldn't have been reported.
  • checking their contributions to see if the vandalism is recent - if there's been no vandalism for an hour or so, then they may well have got the message.
  • IPs change, so the person who got a one month block six months ago may not be the same
  • People misread block logs. Frequently I see someone write a report which says "Vandalism immediately after coming off a six month block", where actually the person was blocked for 24 hours six months ago, but hadn't edited since.

It's things like that, where a bit of clarification, or a "Oi, hang on, that's not quite right" comment is welcomed from anyone, not just admins. Feel free to post pertinent comments underneath a report - the best way to do that is to indent it, and start your comment with Comment - for example, a report may say :

Gb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Vandalism on User:Gb after final warning given. GBT/C 13:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment - no final warning actually given, only a {{vand2}} warning. (followed by your sig).

Any problems or questions, leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, and thanks for your help. GBT/C 13:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You should't remove them, as it might look a bit suspicious if a non-admin removes a report. Your note was nice and helpful, but you might like to clarify - in this instance, the final warning relates to activity in February, for which the IP was blocked for a period of time, but this is potentially a new person who has only received one warning, and that warning wasn't a "final warning". GBT/C 14:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Another good reason for assisting at AIV: It's good experience which you'll need if you ever apply for adminship yourself! —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 19:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox

Please give me your opinion on this User:Camaeron/Sandbox. I dont think it should be as controversial as my other "lists" as it is only an improvement on a horrible old list. And it wont get any longer as it merges with British monarchs at the end. Thanks --Camaeron

It looks great. But, I thought Ireland became merged with Great Britain in 1801, during George III's reign? GoodDay (talk) 16:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course you are right. I have changed it accordingly. Thanks = ) --Camaeron

List of monarchs in the British Isles

Hello Camaeron, would an Afd on that article be better? Rather then a 'merge tag' on List of British monarchs? GoodDay (talk) 19:44, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Have done now!--Camaeron

Signature

Hi, may I inquire as to how you made your sig? It looks cool!--Camaeron

Glad you like it! The code is:

which includes the t/c bit. Feel free to adapt it - I'd suggest not making it too similar to mine. Don't forget to tick the Raw Signature box in your user preferences. You can find more about customising your signature at WP:SIG. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 19:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar Award accepted

Awarded barnstar--Camaeron

I accept ye award, thankith thee. GoodDay (talk) 21:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Would you accept a knighthood if one was offered?--Camaeron

I fully accept the Barnstar Award, most certainly. GoodDay (talk) 21:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

No I meant the knighthood!--Camaeron

I wouldn't accept a Knighthood (but I would take the money, if there's any awarded). Hmm, Sir GoodDay? Nay. GoodDay (talk) 21:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I dont understand you people! = ) Didnt you dream of being a knight when you were little?--Camaeron

What can I say? It's the way I am. GoodDay (talk) 21:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA page

Your NPOV is really good. Ever thought of voting on RFA?--Camaeron

I don't know what I can contribute to that Page. Do you mean adding my opinon-votes to Administrator-nominees Rfa's? GoodDay (talk) 22:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes...its good fun.--Camaeron

OK, I've got the Page on my watchlist. I'm a real push-over for this stuff though. In all the RFAs I've opinon-voted in, I've supported everyone of them to date. GoodDay (talk) 22:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Theres this kurt guy who votes no nearly every time! Think of yourself as a counter-kurt! --Camaeron
I think I'll only vote on the Rfa of editors I've already met & worked with. That way, I'd be giving an honest opinon. GoodDay (talk) 22:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Closing WP:SNOW RFA's

Hi Camaeron. Just a note, but don't forget to add closures to Wikipedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies. I've done it for O Keyes 2 [3].Cheers buddy. Pedro :  Chat  23:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

So sorry, I was just so thrilled about closing my first RFA!--Camaeron
It's no problem at all. When are your running for adminship? Pedro :  Chat  11:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
I was thinking of running pretty soon...--Camaeron

RFA Advice

As you probably know I lurk around RfA (far too much). Your first RfA ended at the very end of February, so I would counsel 12 weeks as a minimum - either the very end of May or better yet the start of June. You really need to show a minimum of three full months of substantial contributions.I know you've been here for a while but your contributions were erratic for a long time. You'll also need to be looking at an edit count (horrbile but it's reality) of 4k plus. And obviously keep on doing what you're doing in balancing project and article space edits. Keep reading current RFA's to see what the current mood is. Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear, but if you rush another Rfa with only 8 weeks more experience and another 1,000 edits it will fail and then you'll just have to wait longer still before applying again. It's not great, just the way it is I'm afraid. Pedro :  Chat  12:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

If you click "my preferences" you will see your server count, which includes deleted edits. At RfA most editors reply on this tool - this does not include deleted edits. Compare your edits to mine (just enter the username without the User: bit in front). I passed RfA at the very start of September '07 so that should give you an idea. Pedro :  Chat  12:42, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Heh. See K (disambiguation) K is used meaning 1,000 (it's short for Kilo) -so 4k plus edits = 4,000 or more edits :) Same as a car costing 5k costs 5,000 pounds / dollars etc. Pedro :  Chat  12:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
And don't edit for the sake of adminship or ammasing edit count. 1) People will spot that straight away and it won't help. 2) The "reward" of adminship is nothing of the sort. If you edit just to be an admin you'll be very disapointed ! Pedro :  Chat  13:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Portals

Im thinking of stating a CR portal, would you help?--Camaeron

I'd recommend G2bambino as a fellow to work on portals with you. I'm content with limiting myself to regular articles. GoodDay (talk) 17:24, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Tildes

I hope you don't mind that I have fixed your comment on the Wikipedia:Help desk. I noticed that you had wanted to add the tildes, but that you hadn't used nowiki. If you do mind, feel free to revert me. AecisBrievenbus 16:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Henry VIII of England - King of France?

Hi, have you any references to show that he was the king of France? Is this perhaps a contentious addition to the article? Bardcom (talk) 16:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Well yes but it wasnt accepted by the French : )--Camaeron

In that case, have you a reference to show that it was a title of the sovereigns of England (?). Perhaps you should remove the reference to his being the King of France if it was not a true and recognised title... Bardcom (talk) 16:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Have done!--Cameron

Scotland

Hello Camaeron. I see you've entered the discussion at Scotland concerning the map. I wish you good luck. Regretfully, I've become convinced of a 'group ownership' having developed there. For some reason, there seems to be (at that article) a eagerness to remove Scotland away from the rest of the UK, as much as it's possible. GoodDay (talk) 17:41, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll take it to WP: UK Geography if nothing can be worked out...--Camaeron

I'll be watching, with fingers crossed. GoodDay (talk) 17:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC) Just some 'friendly advice'. IMHO, you should forget about 'the map' discussion at the Scotland article. GoodDay (talk) 22:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

===Commonwealth project===´

What do you think of the WP?

It looks good to me. There's nothing I can think of, to add to it. GoodDay (talk) 17:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

If you want to launch the WikiProject? I'll become a member of it - having a republican on board (there are Commonwealth republics), would give it balance. My guess is Gazzster would be interested aswell. GoodDay (talk) 18:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Seeing how G2 & Tharky, then G2 & Gazz, have argued alot over how the Commonwealth articles (particularly the realms) should be presented? I think such a WikiProject should be acceptable. PS- Having jogged my memory, I suggested the creation of a Commonwealth WikiProject about a 'year' ago. But, for some reason, it didn't catch on. GoodDay (talk) 18:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Tharky's a monarchist. When it comes to the Commonwealth realms? Tharky argues it's UK, first among equals; where's G2 argues All are equal. GoodDay (talk) 18:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

PS: I did a few 'tweaks' on your sandbox, on the assumption that the WikiProject will also cover the Commonwealth republics. GoodDay (talk) 18:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Not sure about that yet!--Camaeron

It's up to you. I'm content with just the realms. GoodDay (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No, Im not going to! Still going to join?--Camaeron

Yep. GoodDay (talk) 21:11, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Out of curiosity, why have you removed your CHU request? The new name you requested was fine. Acalamari 17:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I dont like it as much as the other one!Im going to usurp one...how long does it take?!--Camaeron

Ah, I see. :) I wonder where those bureaucrats have gone. Acalamari 18:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! You might want to take another look at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/CWY2190#Support - I've taken of your support, which was No. 43, as you've already supported at No. 11 - thought I'd just let you know. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 23:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Would you please answer my question from the talk page!?!--Camaeron

Well, G2 recognised my 'quote' from the Booke of Queens as a light hearted send up of how the realms are treated in Wikipedia. And he gave back as good as he got! And I think that's cool. I have my opinions, but I like them to be challenged. And Prince Phillip - the racist and bigotted b******s that escapes his mouth!

Sorry you feel this way. This is obviously not a newcomer. Newcomers don't have the knowledge to submit an RfA with realistic sounding tool use requests. In fact, the candidate denies being a newcomer. This is an experienced user playing a joke or attempting disruption, or something even more tantalizing. Hence the joke question. Once you've been around RfA longer, you will see more joke questions and even joke opposes that are really supports.I was just wondering why you posed a fairly in depth question.

He(?) has answered your question, and quite well I think. Come to think of it, was unblocked to switch user names and has instead continued to anser RfA. Oh, well. May switch to support. Dlohcierekim 12:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Consensus

I'd recommend we have a 'copy' of that 'consensus polling' put at Monarchy of Canada. That way, nobody can claim, the WikiProject is trying to control that article. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind. You've already left a notice at that article. GoodDay (talk) 15:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Jolly good. GoodDay (talk) 15:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

You sound so British, are you sure you're not a fellow Briton?!--Camaeron

Nope. But I love British expressions. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Luv it. GoodDay (talk) 16:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Why dont you have any ubx?!--Camaeron

I've never taken the time, to learn how to create them. For example: It took me over 2 yrs to learn how to archive my talk pages. I'm very slow at learning these things. GoodDay (talk) 16:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've tried this


But it didn't work. As you can see it's red and says 'page doesn't exist'. GoodDay (talk) 18:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC) I think I'll forget about putting Userboxes on my Page, for a while. As you can see, I'm not very good at learning such things. GoodDay (talk) 21:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Ill teach you if you wish to meet up at my sandbox?!--Camaeron

Someday, I'll try again (and meet you at your sandbox). PS- By the way, I've never had my own sandbox, either. GoodDay (talk) 19:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Interesting, I shall create one someday. GoodDay (talk) 19:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
