IP Users

{{helpme}}

How can you tell if an IP Address is shared? MMS2013 00:46, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Most IP addresses are shared (they change from each person, depending on the provider) except for some known as static IP addresses. There is no real way to tell is it is shared or not, however.  fetchcomms☛ 00:50, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Schoolblock

{{helpme}}

How can I request a school block? User:67.226.128.0 has a quite a history of vandalism, and is registered to a "Calgary Girls School" The whois is here. MMS2013 20:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

If a user or IP is activeley vandalizing after being sufficiently warned for their actions you can then file a report at WP:AIV and the user/IP will be blocked by an Administrator. However, the IP address you have supplied doesn't appear to have ever edited Wikipedia. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 21:07, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Milhist!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
• Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
• If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
• The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around!  Roger Davies ^talk 04:13, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Two Questions

{{helpme}}

I have two questions:

1. How do you create subpages for your userpage? 2. How do you archive your talk page?

Thanks, MMS2013 01:30, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

The easiest way to create subpages is to go to your userpage and add a link like [[/subpagename]]. Clicking on that will take you to User:MMS2013/subpagename, which you can then edit. Otherwise you can type "User:MMS2013/subpagename" to the search box and click "Go". This will also take you to the same page. Also see Wikipedia:Subpages. For help with archiving, see Help:Archiving a talk page ≈ Chamal ^talk ¤ 01:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 04:16, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Userboxes

{{helpme}} How can I center a userbox on my user page? MMS2013 15:50, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

You can center userboxes by putting them in a table by following one of the examples at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Using tables. You center the two userboxes on the top of your userpage by putting them in a table with this code:

{| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto"
|-
|{{Sa-novice-ubx}}{{User rollback}}
|}

which would produce

This editor is a Novice Editor and is entitled to display this Service Badge. This user has rollback rights on the English Wikipedia. (verify)

Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 19:31, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

To our newest rollbacker

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Removal of Comments

{{helpme}}

Would it violate any Wikipedia rules or policies if I removed the comment by 79.79.52.216 from my talk page? MMS2013 23:57, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

No, it's vandalism. Samwb123^T-C-@ 00:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.
