Guestbook Barnstars

Hi, on your Guestbook I noticed that you said you'd give out the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar for signing your guestbook... while that is very nice of you and everything, WP:GUESTBOOK it says Don't give barnstars out just for signing a guestbook. It devalues the barnstar process. I'm not sure if it's talking about the regular Barnstar or all of them in particular, but I'd remove that and stop (if you haven't already) giving out Barnstars for signing. Again this is all friendly I'm just leaving you a note :D (and yes, I signed your guestbook!). Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 01:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

PS: If you have time, could you possibly teach me a thing or two about custom sigs? Nothing to extreme, just very basic stuff. I'm pretty bad at WikiMarkup and that kind of stuff. GoldRomean (talk) 01:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@GoldRomean Ok, thanks for the information. It was just that I saw another user giving barnstars for signing guestbooks, so I thought it was a great idea. I've removed it now, and thanks for signing it!

I started my signatures as the default (which is your user name and the talk button, as you have now). I'm on my alternate account right now. If you look at my other signatures from this page, I used colors. If you look at User talk:Myrealnamm#Your signature, you can see RedRose's feedback on signatures. At first I used {{subst:COLOR|red|hello}} and replaced "red" with HEX codes, such as #0085BD, and hello with my text, to produce something like this:

Myrealnamm

However, if you edit source, you can see it adds a bunch of stuff like "</span> and class="tmp-color" , which might exceed 425 characters in length (which is the limit for number of characters in your signature), so I tried to remove those codes and used the sandbox for testing, until I made my text within 425 characters. Then, you can go to Special:Preferences and go to the Signature section to insert WikiText there. Be sure to select Treat the above as wiki markup. otherwise it will not work.

REMEMBER: Applying color is only one way of customizing your signature, there are also many other ways to customise your signature. I would recommend taking a look at WP:SIGNATURE and Help:Wikitext. They've helped me. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@Myrealnamm Okay, I totally understand. Thanks for the helpful stuff with the signatures! GoldRomean (talk) 12:54, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Pssss. I'm also not good with Wikitext. @GoldRomean........... Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Kalinga under the Mauryan

I just edited and improved the article in good faith in order to expand and reform the article. 59.93.0.169 (talk) 06:53, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@59.93.0.169 Thanks for your contributions, however, I have moved it to the draft space and restored the redirect. It might need to be rewritten. The new draft is at Draft:Kalinga under the Mauryan Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 12:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

You are correct to have failed Draft:Angela Kelly (photographer) as a reviewer

And please keep eyes on. It's actually an interesting subject, but I have a hunch this author is a student or other supporter because the language is so positive. Reviewers are encouraged to give both negative and positive feedback (although time frequently being an issue, I can understand why this is sometimes lost). BusterD (talk) 20:22, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @BusterD, thanks for your feedback. I've only been working on AfC for a day or two (after being granted the tools, I'm currently in probation). I looked at the article for a while before deciding to decline it because it was too promotional. Sorry for the CSD though, I was asking at Wikipedia IRC about it and someone suggested that if I couldn't find any notable coverage then I should go ahead, but I didn't think smart enough about it. To be honest, I think the draft could be improved (when not thinking about CSD'ing ) but it will take a while.

I should try to accept more drafts to be created (currently did none so far) but I'm still trying to get a good understanding of how this all works before I do something big. I'll try my best to give more feedback, as you mentioned, to declined drafts so they can be improved. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Making mistakes along the way is expected, especially for a new reviewer. I get sentimental and occasionally "fall in love" with a subject, making it hard for me to be objective. Don't get in a hurry, but don't take too much time on a single review either. You just have to do a bunch until you find your own sweet spot. Enjoy the newness; it wears off. Thanks for your many contributions, Myrealnamm. Don't be shy about flagging down another admin or senior editor if you need tips or encouragment. We all goof up (hopefully not on the front page).

Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		Didn't find a barnstar for teamwork, but for your work with CSD and UAA! I feel like work in these areas deserves some recognition. 😊 see you around! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for that, much appreciated 😁. My first Original Barnstar, previous ones for Anti-Vandalism. Also appreciate your work at UAA!

Oh, thanks for adding the title here. "You beat me on this one"!

Cheers, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Now and then I forget to click "preview" with these... 🤦‍♂️ LOL cheers back at you, see you around! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (my edits)} 17:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@Spf121188 Thanks! Btw, there is a teamwork barnstar (Template:The Teamwork Barnstar) but I personally prefer using the Heart icon at the top of the page, next to View History to send WikiLoves. Laters! Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:14, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

You just taught me something new LOL thanks! Had no idea that heart at the top had a function! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (my edits)} 17:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Trouted

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: literally no reason at all M7md1612 (talk) 14:44, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Ok😁 Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 14:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Request for a Review

Hi,

@Myrealnamm, thank you for reviewing my biography article earlier and leaving a helpful feedback for me. I want to ask that you revisit it and review it again, since I have rewritten it to meet the required standard.

Thank you. Stephenranks (talk) 17:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Stephenranks, thanks for improving your draft. I've been busy the past few days, so sorry for the late response. It seems like another reviewer handled it. If you still need any help, you could ask someone else or the teahouse as I'm pretty busy these days. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 15:40, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
