Adoption

I'd be free to be the one to adopt you if you'd like so you can get some experience, just reply on my talk page if you want so.^Mitch32^contribs 10:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok :D - Anyway first thing is - new messages go on the bottom of talk pages. Not on the top. I'll find you an article to work on in a few.^Mitch32^contribs 18:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

First of all yes to removing your name. Secondly, its Fuego En La Sangre capitalized not lowercase. Now the article I promised has been more of a pain in the neck than I thought.^Mitch32^contribs 10:02, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Now that I see you're from Texas, I have an article chosen. Let's see what you can do with Culberson County, Texas. Its in need of some work.^Mitch32^contribs 00:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool. Anyway, Putnam County, New York is a good example of one. It should help you a lot in expanding it.^Mitch32^contribs 01:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Formatting your signature

Hi there. Formatting your signature is easy once you get the hang of wikicode. To format your sig, do the following:

1. Click my preferences in the upper-right hand corner of your window.
2. On the User profile tab, type wikicode in the Signature box for how you want your sig to display (see example below).
3. Select the Raw signature check box.
4. Click Save.

Now, the code that displays my sig is:

[[User:Laser_brain|<font color="purple">'''Laser brain'''</font >]] [[User_talk:Laser_brain|<font color="purple">(talk)</font >]]

If you want yours to display just like mine, just replace my name with yours as follows:

[[User:Picardin|<font color="purple">'''Picardin'''</font >]] [[User_talk:Picardin|<font color="purple">(talk)</font >]]

Hope this helps. --Laser brain (talk) 03:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Okay, sounds good. I can be your adopter. I will be available to answer questions, give suggestions, point things out, and provide ideas, but ultimately you will still be responsible for your edits. Useight (talk) 05:05, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirect pages

Okay, Fuego en la sangre is currently a redirect to Argentine films of the 1960s#1966. To get things the way you want it, you'll need to change the contents of this page to say "#REDIRECT Fuego En La Sangre" without the quotes instead of "#REDIRECT Argentine films of the 1960s#1966" without the quotes, which is what it currently says. This will make the string "Fuego en la sangre" redirect to Fuego En La Sangre. Doing so, however, would make it very difficult for that one in a hundred who is searching for the 1966 film to find it. So, to counter this, I added a distinguishing comment at the top of Fuego En La Sangre. I have left the redirecting for you to try, though. Let me know when you're done and I'll make sure that it was done correctly. Useight (talk) 01:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks like it's working just fine. Nice job. Useight (talk) 01:48, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Signature

I don't know if it's still like that, but I recently saw your signature and unfortunately, images are not allowed per WP:SIG...... Dendodge .. Talk^Help 18:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
