User talk:Chabby

Welcome!
Welcome to the Infosphere! We're glad to have you as a member. If you need any help, feel free to ask anyone on the welcoming committee. You can also post questions on the FAQ talk page.

New users must read the Help pages before creating a new page.

Here are some tips to get you started:
 * If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the help page.
 * Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our wiki standards.
 * If you have an idea for a major change that will help The Infosphere, suggest it over at the Conference Table.
 * If you want to create a new article, make sure that it doesn't already exist and that the article you've created is linked to from another article. Our article templates should help you out.
 * If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to current events.
 * To practice editing, go over to the playground.
 * You can help decide what's on the Main Page by voting on Featured Articles or making new nominations.

 * Remember to sign your posts to talk pages by using four tildes ( ~&#126;~&#126; ). Alternatively, you can create a custom signature at User:/sig, and insert it by typing, preferably followed by five tildes to insert the date.
 * If you have a personal website (Futurama-centric or completely unrelated), feel free to add it to the Community Portal
 * Above all, be sure to be bold and have fun!

English to English fixing
I have caught you "fixing" the word "favourite" in the Nudar article twice. You should know by reading the FAQ that we have a rule against this. Yes, you can use both US and UK English when writing articles, but "correcting" one to another is not permitted. If it is part of a larger edit though, we may see pass it. But generally not accepted. --SvipTalk 11:21, 10 February 2008 (PST)
 * You should not change the spelling of these words. If one is correct it is that which is more accepted across the globe. That is the one with the "u". we leave them as is whichever way was first used in a paragraph for a good reason. Furthermore, and on a personal note, you should not be editing anything on other peoples user pages unless it is to remove things that are discriminatory or explicit.
 * DON'T edit American spellings into my user page ever! - Quolnok 17:53, 12 February 2008 (PST)
 * Apparently, you won't listen to our warnings. This is your final warning.  Change "favourite" to "favorite" again, and you are out.  Your other contributes does not suffice you as a member we cannot live without.  Quolnok explicit told you not to change his user page, and yet you did once more.  In case you're wondering. --SvipTalk 16:15, 13 February 2008 (PST)

"EDIT"
Just to let you know, putting the word "EDIT" in a random position on articles not yet updated to the new standard is not the way to notify people. We know there are lots out there to fix. You can do it too, or if you'd rather leave a notice, try putting or one of the other notices at the top of whatever article. - Quolnok 18:26, 18 March 2008 (PDT)
 * To clarify, you should put with the curly brackets, it makes the template appear on the page and we can refer to that page to find what pages it is on. - Quolnok 02:23, 20 March 2008 (PDT)

Templates
As you may have noticed when you read through the help pages *cough* we have templates that you should use when creating new articles. - Quolnok 19:25, 22 March 2008 (PDT)
 * However, when the article is at the old standard, as Stripperbot was, you just need one of these. Please read through the help pages. - Quolnok 21:29, 23 March 2008 (PDT)
