Your comment in the archive

Hi there, I have moved your comment from the archive, (which we shouldn't edit after it has been archived), to the the current milhist talk page. It will be more visible there. You might also want to add a note to the talkpage of the article concerned so Talk:Malmedy massacre. If you have any questions or need any help, just leave a note on my talkpage. Regards. Woody (talk) 10:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

No problem, Oh and remembet to sign your posts with 4 tildes. (~~~~) This adds in a link to your userpage and talkpage and adds in a date stamp. Helps me when trying to reply! Welcome to Wikipedia. Woody (talk) 15:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Good to have another body. (There's lots to be done...) If you've concerns about a page, such as Malmedy Massacre, ideally, post your comment on the talk page; it'll get more attention from people more interested (& probably better informed). You can also do everybody a big favor if, when you check pages on subjects you're interested in, or have good sources for, you click "watch this page", then check "my watchlist" when you come back, for possible vandalism. (I've got "boilerplate" warnings you can use, if you want, & I can {I think} set you up a sandbox to keep 'em in, so you can get to 'em when you need; just cut & paste, but watch out you change the page ID, a perennial mistake of mine. ;D) Again, welcome.

Don't sweat the noob questions. I was once, too, & I got help from a patient (& very helpful!) old head. I'm just paying forward. If you're OK with it, I can lift the format of my page, with some useful stuff, right into your userpage. As for preferences & stuff, you should have a menu somewhere on the page, depending on the skin you use. (I'm using Cologne Blue, so it's down the left side.) "Preferences" will let you set a lot of stuff, & it's mostly pretty self-explanatory; if it's not, do what I do, try it & see if you like it, change it back if you don't. =D Feel free to ask any questions, if you can get past feeling dumb. (That's the hardest part!) I'll answer what I can. BTW, do you use Firefox? Its bookmark bar makes finding useful pages on WP much EZr. (I've got stubs, templates, editor's index, & the Commons, for starters.) And, since I see I didn't actually answer you...the "boilerplate" I meant is a standard form for vandal warnings, with images included; I keep mine in my sandbox, & cut & paste as needed. And the sandbox is just a private workspace; I can set yours up with the page paste I mentioned. Or just a sandbox, if you'd rather. Trekphiler (talk) 23:49 & 00:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC) (BTW, a useful tip: if you sign ~~~ you get your name/talk, no date/time; ~~~~ the standard; ~~~~~, just the date/time (in case you add something to a previous post of yours, like I just did...)Reply
Done. Hope you like it. The Userboxes link'll give you new ones; if you want to design one, like the Robin Masters one, just ask. (Or experiment with that one...) FYI, in the table, the "|" is a spacer to move across the page, the "|-" is a linebreak. And a minor point, which I'm guessing you know, if you're replying, ideally, use ":" to indent, so it's clear it's a reply; don't forget to sign ~~~~. (That takes a bit of getting used to. Now I try to sign emails that way... =]) The boilerplate warnings are in your sandbox. Enjoy. Trekphiler (talk) 14:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
