Yup! I made a page! I was looking for a fast way to do it, and hey! I got one! UME PrepJustaguy120 (talk) 13:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, everyone else just acts like the Wiki is life-or-death. You make it a lot more enjoyable. You always seem to have a positive attitude, and you add a little spark of humor to everything.Justaguy120 (talk) 14:06, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I didn't know you had heard about me before :?

ya. I accidentally put the teahouse on my watchlist, and now I can't get it off. My watchlist is flooded with comments from the teahouse, including yours. That brings me to my next Q, how can I get it off my watchlis?Justaguy120 (talk) 14:17, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Easy: There is a link that says: View and edit watchlist . Click on it. There is a box that says: Wikipedia, you're going to see this: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions (talk | History), click on the checkbox. Go to the bottom of the page and click on Remove Titles... and Done :)

That's great but, and you're not the first one so don't worry, you forgot I use mobile.Justaguy120 (talk) 14:32, 23 July 2013 (UTC)gotta go[reply]

I'm back!Justaguy120 (talk) 14:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! :'( I will have to see how is that with a mobile. I have no wifi, therefore I don't use mobile. can you describe the menus so I can help you better??
[zootalk] 14:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply

The menu options are Home, Random (because everyone uses that), watchlist, upload, and log out. When I tap on watchlist, the Teahouse isn't displayed, but when I go to modified, it's flooded with house stuff. I've gone to the teahouse repeadedly to tell it to get off my list, but it won't work. And what device do you have?Justaguy120 (talk) 15:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I use a computer. I think you should ask

1:Thanks much! I'll ask him! 2: NP with autograph. 3: I meant what is the device you referenced to about no wifi? 4: What were you saying tells you ur funny? I had more, but during that time someone else edited page, and I had to rewrite.

No problem. You n¡know where you can find me... so, anytime you need my help just drop me a line I will be more than happy to help you. And about the wifi... I have a smartphone but there is no wifi where I can connect it. Long story :)

Is there any way I could advertise my new page, so more people can help me construct it? Also, I can't figure out how, nor do I care to, delete a page I created. Could one of you helpers please do it? It is User:Justaguy120/Sandbox. Thanks much!Justaguy120 (talk) 14:58, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True. Sorry for the error in nomenclature.
essays are not policy. However if your article covers all the bases mentioned there, you won't have to defend it any further should someone try to get it deleted. (And to reply to the deleted comment: We all try our best, with a few exceptions, but getting advice is like anything else it's best if you can get more than one opinion.) —    Bill W.    (Talk)  (Contrib)  — 17:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply

What on Earth is my text doing?Justaguy120 (talk) 17:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you start a line with leading spaces (like the one above), you get that kind of format-less text, so be sure to start new lines without any leading spaces. Also, I don't think you need to go so far as to not trust

Check any page's edit history and you'll see a "thank" button next to each change. Click it, and presto, insta-appreciation.

Not a problem. I could see you were just venting, so I did not get upset. I know how frustrating this all can be at first.

Speedy deletion nomination of UME Preparatory Academy

Hello Justaguy120,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged UME Preparatory Academy for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Justaguy120. You have new messages at Vanjagenije's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

For your information, I did follow the rules. If I remember correctly, the article is STILL THERE! UME Prep Why, you ask? Because there was no reason to delete it.Justaguy120 (talk) 02:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Friends

There are two users I have really enjoyed working with. Miss Bono and I, Jethrobot, I know this sounds totally corny but, wanna be friends?Justaguy120 (talk) 21:19, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

K. Good to know. I'm still working on articles. Justaguy120 (talk) 21:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I Jethrobot, and Justaguy, I am an editor who takes a moderate position on this issue. I reveal a fair amount of personal information on my user page, try to maintain friendly relationships with many editors, including those who have various problems, and try to avoid conflict. And I mentor
Miss Bono. But I don't go around talking very much about "friendships" per se, or matters unrelated to improving the encyclopedia. This is a monumental project with a well-defined goal: creating an ever-improving encyclopedia, free for everyone. Any social interaction that advances that goal is fine with me. Chit-chat that doesn't have anything to do with improving the encyclopedia is not OK with me. The essay you linked to, I Jethrobot, does not seem to represent any significant opinion among active editors, in my opinion. I see it as an outlier. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 23:52, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply

Dude, I'm just saying we're friends. I never said I was chit-chatting about nothing.Justaguy120 (talk) 00:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, you and I can be friends, just as I am friendly with
I Jethrobot. But it must be in the context of improving the encyclopedia. Otherwise, there are plenty of other websites devoted to socializing, and I participate in several of them. All your comments here are available for scrutiny by every editor. By the way, I have been studying use of the term "dude" for over 40 years. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:00, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply
]

OK, OK. No offense, but THAT cracked me up. So tell me the exact definition of "dude", which, technically, is not a real word.Justaguy120 (talk) 02:05, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it most certainly is a "real word" with a long and colorful history as explained in our excellent article, Dude. In my childhood, I identified first with the "very well dressed" or "overdressed" meaning, and also with the "dude ranch" or city slicker definition, the opposite of a genuine cowboy. As my ancestry combined rural Idaho and urban Detroit antecedents, the word resonated with me. After I came to California, and even a bit before, I recognized it as surfer terminology. Of course, I recognize how symbolic the word is in the work of Steely Dan and especially Peter Frampton. And as a convert to Judaism, and father of a young man who is a dedicated bowler, I certainly relate to its usage in The Big Lebowski. But in the present context, I am thoroughly familiar with its online usage as a "friendly" term to lord it over a rhetorical opponent. I never go there, unless someone else does first. I hope this helps. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you showed your humorous side on your talk page. I never looked into the word dude, and I actually find that quite interesting. I just heard, you know, how kids use it these days. Want to be friends? Justaguy120 (talk) 02:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I want to be friends, if our friendship is to be based on improving encyclopedia articles. Thank you for the pie, by the way. Our mutual friend, Miss Bono, has wonderful goals but also has problems with internet access because of where she lives. So my suggestion to you is to consider helping her with her research needs, as I presume you have basic Google skills. Familiarize yourself with all the key policies described in
WP:PRIMER, and then assist Miss Bono as a research assistant for a couple of months. I will happily answer any serious questions you have. If you do so, you will earn my respect. Otherwise, Facebook is thataway ---->. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply

Actually, Miss Bono has been helping me. See the conversation above that I'm keeping. I don't think I hve any authority over her. What probs does she have with the wifi? And, does she ever go on at night owl times? If your getting sick of Qs, tell me. I won't take it the wrong way. One last thing: don't have Facebook.Justaguy120 (talk) 03:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
