Signature template

I moved it to User:The Rim of the Sky/Signature/TheRimoftheSky since user templates don't go in the main space. If you want a custom signature you can make one in Special:Preferences ↗. See WP:SIG ↗ for more information. <span style="color:DarkGray;">...</span> <span style="color:DarkOrange;">'''disco'''</span><span style="color:DarkOliveGreen;">'''''spinster'''''</span> <sub>'''<span style="color:DarkGray;">talk</span>'''</sub> 23:27, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I guess I should thank you for not deleting the stub but only moving it. As for the signature part, I already have that done. I'm more firmiliar with Wikia then Wikipedia, so its name was different. Thanks for the help.

Replaceable fair use File:ZilphaKeatlySnyderClose.jpg

32px|left ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:ZilphaKeatlySnyderClose.jpg ↗'''. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use ↗, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion ↗ in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

# Go to the file description page ↗ and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On the file discussion page ↗, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license ↗, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=The_Rim_of_the_Sky&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.  Stefan2 (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Stephen, listen, I just thought I just put it there because that's what the author prefers to use on her website a lot. I just thought it wouldn't be fair if we used a different picture that was a bit similar, that's probably who she prefers to be seen. I just wanted to reply to you because I didn't know if you would be a good enough reason on the link you gave me. <span style="color:lime;">'''☞ Яǐɱ'''</span> <sup><span style="color:skyblue;">(<span style="color:yellow;">Chat with Meh</span>)</span></sup> <sup><span style="color:skyblue;">(<span style="color:orange;">Updates</span> ↗)</span></sup>

Your signature

Hello, I've noticed that there a number of problems with your signature. Firstly, you're using a template: User:The Rim of the Sky/Signature/TheRimoftheSky. This is really not a good idea, since anyone can edit that page. Secondly, your signature is far too long. The maximum length is 255 characters of code - yours is 330. Thirdly, it links to User blog:The Rim of the Sky ↗, which is (and will remain) a non-existent page. Fourthly, your signature doesn't add the time of posting, meaning that a bot has to do it for you ↗. This has been pointed out to you before ↗. Fifthly, the colours you have chosen (the yellow in particular) make it very difficult to read. Please read WP:SIGNATURES ↗ and choose a signature in your preferences that complies and doesn't use a template, then add <nowiki>{{db-user}}</nowiki> to your signature page. Thank you. Bencherlite <i><sup>Talk</sup></i> 18:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

:Sorry about that! I spend most of my time on Wikia. Things are sort of different there. I just copied my signature from there, and I will take away the user blog thing. Sorry about the problem. I don't know why time is messing up I have to do it like this:

<span style="color:lime;">'''☞ Яǐɱ'''</span> <sup><span style="color:skyblue;">(<span style="color:yellow;">Chat with Meh</span>)</span></sup> <sup><span style="color:skyblue;">(<span style="color:orange;">Updates</span> ↗)</span></sup>

Your recent edits

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello and welcome to Wikipedia ↗. When you add content to talk pages ↗ and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts ↗. There are two ways to do this. Either:
# Add four tilde ↗s ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
# With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (15px|link=Wikipedia:How to sign your posts ↗ or 15px|link=Wikipedia:How to sign your posts ↗) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello The Rim of the Sky. We have noticed some unusual traffic coming from your computer related to "hats". We believe this is a serious obsession and, as one of your friends, I am willing to stage an intervention to prevent this obsession from getting worse. Don't make me do that because as you know I am very, very, very lazy. Asm20

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''the Arab–Israeli conflict ↗''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

<p><strong>Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days ↗, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.</strong></p><p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}} <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 14:17, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Note

On Wikipedia, consensus ↗ is not determined by a simple majority vote ("counting heads"), but rather by the strength of arguments and their alignment with core policies and guidelines.
