Got it. Read it. And find it...PERFECT! You are wonderful..! A truly splendid example of our Lady of Verbosity and Wit....mine ascot doth tremble and my sword doth quake at the blinding logic and beauty of thine divine analysis. My the angels smile upon ye and make thy way pleasant beyond compare... Did I mention "thank you" if not...let me do so now! Thank you, m'lady! Thou art magnificent..!

Sure, if you tell me what other template needs to be used, lol. (And how to tell which images may not qualify for the new template, or how to tell if an image does qualify.) Ariel♥Gold01:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhh, yeah that might be the best way to go. But if you don't get much response and still want help, I'm more than willing, but I'd be unsure what would qualify for what template, lol. Ariel♥Gold02:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Images Published by USGOV are Public Domain, but if they do still sometimes host images that has a different copyright holder and the USGOV has permission to use. Most of those images ought to be PD, but the TfD notes that not all of those imsges are PD (as noted in the identically named template on commons that was also deleted) — TimotabTimothy (not Tim dagnabbit!)02:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know all that, I just mean, how can you tell if the image on the website is copyrighted? Would it spell it out under the image or what? I really have to admit that I tend to not be that involved in images, aside from uploading NASA images which are obviously copyright-free, and spotting obvious copyright violation images now and then, but with questionable things like this, I may not be the best person to ask for help, because I wouldn't know how to tell for sure if an image on a website was originally from the USGOV or not.

Will it do what I want it to do? Or what you'd suspect I want it to do? I'd really like folks to be able to easily identify & access my "talk" page. But I'm scared to mess up my signature. :)--Moonriddengirl01:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Or, if you want colors, I can add those as well, so the "Girl" (going to your talk page) is a different color. Just let me know your color prefs if you want to do that. Be sure you have the "Raw" box checked below your signature box though. Also you could even make "Moon" go to your userpage, "ridden" go to your contribs, and "girl" go to your talk page, if you wanted. Ariel♥Gold01:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, it has to be wikilinked! How does Timotab get his thing superscripted? I would like to, if at all possible, figure out a way to use "talk", the way User talk:DarkFalls does. I wind up dealing with a lot of newbies, and I'd like to make the process really clear for them. :) And, as always, I appreciate your taking time to help me with this kind of thing. :) --Moonriddengirl01:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is such an adorable and happy conversation that I just had to say how much I liked it. Then again...most of the conversations on this page are quite wonderful to read...<sigh> Dreadstar†06:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
YReplied. BTW, rest assured that I know fully well that forgiveness is one of the most important values in Catholicism; I will always [ try to ] forgive, no matter how deeply people hurt me, and I hope others can do the same. Good night, dear Ariel! (AST) --Agüeybaná02:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I replied to your reply! Hee hee. And that's a wonderful philosophy to live by, and I'm also glad that my concern was unfounded. Thanks for replying! Ariel♥Gold02:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'd tend to agree, but the person admitted to using the other name before, doing the same thing, so it could just be how that particular editor chooses to deal with vandalism. ~*Shrug*~ Now me, I still believe the old adage, "You catch more flies with honey", personally, lol. Ariel♥Gold19:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank You
Thanks so much for your advice on my attempted company listing. We are definitely going the third party route, but I am totally new to Wiki and was asked to do this, so, am giving it a shot. I will try to link directly to the articles rather than pdfs...some are password protected so I thought I would go at it that way, but I'll do it another. Thanks again. Afreccero20:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're very welcome, but remember, your company website is not a reliable, third-party source, so shouldn't be used as a reference. You'll want to find news articles that have been published about your company to verify the notability of the company. Also, keep in mind the conflict of interest guideline, which would really discourage you from creating or editing an article about things you are closely associated with, like family, friends, companies, products, etc. I hope that helps!

Long Time No See
Hi there again, thanks for the marci help and as you can see i need a talk page! could you make one up for me please? like yours but less pink? more yellow? Thanks Marci Bowers Helper21:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
BlackSun01:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)OK, so maybe an external link on a disambiguation page is not the proper placement. What would you propose to be the proper placement, since Black Sun is the primary theme of the site, and the site comes up 4th on a google search for "Black Sun"? It certainly has the notability to be listed. What about an internal Wikipedia link on the Black Sun page? Please advise.[reply]
Having results come up on a general Google search is not an indicator of notability on Wikipedia. I provided you the link to review what requirements there are for notability of websites, and that is quite clear. One of the qualifications (the first one) is: "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial reliable, third-party published works whose source is independent of the site itself." A quick Google News Search shows zero results. Also, please place your signature using four tildes at the end of your comments, as it makes them easier to read. Thanks! Ariel♥Gold01:08, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but still, the only thing a link says is that a site exists and that it has a specific name. It seems that the fact that such a site exists would be of interest to people searching for Black Sun. There may be millions of blogs, but most of them peter out after a few weeks or months. They also do not have sustained traffic or interest. This one has been going since 2001. Since the site clearly concerns the subject matter at hand, and since there is a user page called User:BlackSun, if you will not permit an external link, maybe a link to that user page (which links to the Black Sun Journal site) would be appropriate. Thank you. BlackSun02:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, that is not what the link WP:WEB states. It has specific criteria a website must meet for notability, and I listed one of the criteria for you on above in my reply. Just because something exists, and has existed for years, does not automatically make it notable per Wikipedia's standards. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate collection of links or information. I realize that your site may seem quite notable to you, but unless the media has covered it/reported on the site itself, or it has been the subject of a major web award, it is likely not notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. You are welcome to have the link on your userpage, as you've done, but unless you can provide reliable, third-party sources to prove notability, an article on the item would likely be deleted. Sorry! Ariel♥Gold02:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
YAY!! You've worked for months on this article, and I'm truly impressed at the difference between how it is now, and how it was when I first came across it all that time ago. What a wonderful job you've done! I hope the GA passes, let me know! Ariel♥Gold01:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Awww, thanks Dr. Cash! Nancy has been through a lot with this article, and I'm happy to have been able to help her along the way. And I'm so very happy that the article is now at GA status, thank you so much for your help and your patience! Ariel♥Gold14:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help at the helpdesk
This template must be substituted, see Template:Smile for instructions
Not sure how appropriate the text is - after just having received a barnstar, how could a simple smiley make your day better? Maybe you can keep it for a rainy day. ;-) — Sebastian06:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That was some serious support you put in Ariel, and I really appreciate it. I agree with you in every sense. Thank you for you kind words and taking the time, not many do now-a-days. Never stop doing what you doing. :) Dfrg.msc10:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For your contribution to My RfA, which passed with 8000 Supports, 2 Neutrals and no opposes.
The standards and dedication of the English Wikipeidan Administrators is excellent and I am privileged to stand among them. Thank you for putting you trust in me, I'll not see it abused. And now, I will dance naked around a fire. Party at my place! Cheers! Dfrg.msc 10:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
ROFL Omigosh I love the picture! And I only said what was true, as I always try to do. No worries I'll stop doing it anytime soon, verbosity seems to be my middle name, lol. However, you realize now I'll be bugging you for admin-type stuff occasionally! Muahahaha... Ariel♥Gold14:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I'm sorry! I got one edit conflict, but I didn't realize I was messing up yours. I managed to fix the one EC, though, so no worries (on my part). I'm done there for now, so you *should* be ok.... Hersfold(t/a/c)20:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow! Did you check the history? I mean, we were editing exactly at the same time multiple times, and neither of us got an edit conflict! We must be in tune! (Hence perhaps why our dance is so pretty? lol) That's pretty amazing, when you think about it. But I'm done fiddling around there too! Hee hee. Ariel♥Gold20:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
...of how awesome (awe followed by awesome, too redundant?) your user page is. It's pretty much how I imagine mine would look, were I not a lazy bum. Infinite kudos to the Nth power to you. Mrfridays21:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thank you very much! The original design traces its ancestry (as most designs do) back to our wonderful Queen of Design, Phaedriel, but I did create new tab images and modified it to suit my more colorful personality, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Thanks a lot! Ariel♥Gold21:04, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
