Can I cite something from a video game? And if so how do I do it? DH Michaels (talk) 18:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes, but it should be avoided if possible. See {{Cite video game}}. –xeno (talk) 18:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I don't understand your follow up question. If you absolutely must cite a video game, you can use that template I linked. –xeno (talk) 18:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the only thing you forgot (I should have mentioned) is you need to put <ref> </ref> around the tag. So like this:

 <ref>{{cite video game | (etc) }}</ref>

let me know if you need anything further. –xeno (talk) 18:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. And yes, it is {{cite web}}. –xeno (talk) 20:41, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Anyone can install Twinkle, but you'll need a compatible browser (like Firefox). Rollback feature usually isn't given out until you have some experience fighting vandalism with Twinkle or Undo. –xeno (talk) 20:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Twinkle can be installed in your preferences or by visiting WP:TWINKLE. –xeno (talk) 12:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can go ahead and use Twinkle whenever you need to rollback an edit. If it's straight and obvious vandalism, you can use the vandalism button, if it's good faith but unhelpful, use the rollback "agf" button, with an edit summary, and for anything in between just use "rollback" with an edit summary. Just go slow with Twinkle, to make sure you are doing the right thing. –xeno (talk) 19:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should see the rollback buttons whenever you are viewing a diff. It looks like the below image. –xeno (talk) 20:04, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I probably wouldn't bother, if the page isn't a very encyclopedic page, you can consider prodding it. –xeno (talk) 20:28, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, it's a pretty short article. You could consider try improving it. I left a source on the talk page. –xeno (talk) 20:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Hi

Okay, what is the message about?--WillC 00:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it. Just give me a idea of what type of signature you want? Is this good.

DH Michaels --WillC 00:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, just take [[User:DH Michaels|<font color="blue">'''''DH'''''</font>]][[User talk:DH Michaels|<font color="black">'''''Michaels'''''</font>]] and go to my preferences and place it in signature, then save.--WillC 00:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Long story. But to sum it up. He politics too much backstage and never in the history of him being a wrestler did he ever deserve 12 reigns as champion, and one day I will make sure he is a jobber because he refuses to put people over cleanly.--WillC 01:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm not.--WillC 20:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Currently no, but thanks for the offer. I recommend you join WP:PW. S_RX 01:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks!! The nicest would have to be Brian Kendrick because he was out 1 hour before the show (it was only a house show) and he was signing autographs and everything! My brother even got a short interview with him! Adster95 (talk) 08:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey sorry for late reply Randy Orton was he played the heel charactor very well he's great! Adster95 (talk) 14:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
