Welcome to Arcive 2!
I'll probably be adding to this over the next few weeks.
- Start: 23 July 2006
- End: 28 August 2006
Fair use in userspace again
Dfrg.msc, please be careful not to use fair-use images in userspace. I've again removed a screenshot you've taken from your talkpage and everywhere else it appears in userspace. Also, I'd still appreciate it if you put more effort into serious contributions and less or none into pranks and jokes. Productive contribution shouldn't be an afterthought on the project. --Improv 15:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- Improv, thanks again for your quick actions. I have been experementing (as you can probalby see) with my signatre and I unthinkingly used the Disk Defragmenter image again on my page as it was tied to my signature. I again thankyou for the time that you continualy devote to help me as I still learn. Unfortunately I only discover my mistakes after I make them, so it is up to veteran, kind Admins to help me until I can cope independently.
Also how do I go about creating an Arcive for my talk page? I hope to be stepping up my Contributions into the Australian currency Article, as I posses a vast amoun of images that I want to contribute to that and related articles.
Thanks again, User:Dfrg.msc
Signatures and stuff
Unfortunately, I'm not a great person to ask about complex signatures -- you might want to hop on IRC for some more advice. Generally images in signatures are frowned upon though. WRT archiving talk pages, what you do is move your current talk page to something like User_talk:Dfrg.msc/archive1 and then return to your talk page, make a link to that, and note that you archived. If you need help, I can either do it for you or show you how in more detail. --Improv 13:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Is there any way I could convince you not to include an image in your signature though? It's rather obnoxious and makes conversations look ugly. --Improv 19:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?
Oh no Stifle. Just what do you think your doing? I've worked too hard for you to do this. And why? Dont assume, look at my contributions and what have I done? What ties me to "Smugface" (as you and every second person belives)? And what sets us apart? CONSTRUCTIVE EDITS! Thats bloody what!
Remove or find an answer.

Not happy Jan!
- Could we not discuss this in the stead of dirtying up each others pages? User:Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 10:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Your contribution patterns are very similar - very little article contributions, causing general annoyance, and yelling at anyone who tries to call you on it. Stifle (talk) 22:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hardly! As to my article contributions, I do what I can, when I can. Do you know how hard it is to edit articles without a Q or S (I copy and Paste them)? And what is this general annoyance, if I am causing general annoyance - then why sould I not be told of my behavior so I can make an attempt to stop it? Dont make acusations you cant back up. I yell at no-one, my main-man. I dont mind being acused, it's quite funny actually, I just dislike that godawful template. It makes me look sleazy.
User:Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 10:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- You have been told of your inappropriate behaviour many times. Don't act like this is your first time. --Scottie theNerd 13:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- 1 I have reformed, and come along way scince then,
- 2 GET OUT OF MY HOUSE SCOTTIE!
Scottie, were you not once prone to making mistakes and overstepping the boundaries because you didnt know they were there? And no this is not my first time, I've been warned and all behaviors I have been informed about are seldom repeated (deliberately). User:Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 01:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- If you have reformed, good. My point is that you have been viewed as a troublemaker in the past, and that is a black mark against you. That you have already admitted to by claiming you have "reformed". Additionally, I have every right to post my comment on your talk page, as it is within the guidelines set by Wikipedia. Do not tell me to "get of your house". Additionally, I have not incurred the wrath of Wikipedia administrators nor have I overstepped any boundaries or made mistakes on Wikipedia. I do not see the relevance of this remark. My point stands: you've been in the bad books, and if you want people to see you differently, you'd better shape up. --Scottie theNerd 03:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
DEATH TO STEPHIE
The Steph Show is the most amatuer trash television i have ever seen. Its terrible. and if i saw stephe crossing the road or dying in the street i would not stop driving. Where can i go to complain to channel ten? Anybody got a link. If you want to join me in destroying the stephe show and bring back the simpsons to where they belong please leave a messsage on my user page.

Hi Dfrg.msc,
I noticed you failed to meet the entry requirements a while ago for Esperanza, but it looks to me as if you could now join!
If you are still interested, we'd be glad to welcome you- just re-read the requirements here and follow the instructions.
I look forward to seeing you around!
EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 18:11, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thankyou very much for your invitation into Esperanza, I hope to be an avid contributor. Esperanza is a great initative, and I hope to be seenig you in the future.

Quotes
I actually don't know how to do that. If you can point me at any examples of what you're trying to do, I'll prod at it and let you know how it works. I'd like to encourage you to focus less on your userpage and more on the articles though.. Take care. --Improv 08:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I gave it a try with a simple cquote on my talkpage, and it seems to work with me. My guess is that some of the stuff you included in your cquote attempt (links?) doesn't work with that template. Something simple like below seems to work. --Improv 12:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
| “ | Cquote example | ” |
Lemme try,
| “ | Men live in a fantasy world. I know this because I am one, and I actually receive my mail there - Scott Adams | ” |
| “ | Men live in a fantasy world. I know this because I am one, and I actually receive my mail there - Scott Adams | ” |
- Hmmm, not sure as to why it wasn't working before, pehaps the link was the cause. Well, thanks again for your help Improv.

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, Dfrg.msc, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC Tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Vandalism warning
This is the last time I'm going to ask you to stop posting nonsense on my talk page. It's considered vandalism. The next time you choose to, it'll be a block. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 16:45, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
If by a response, you mean non-sense. The I won't say anything at all. If this is how you want to play it Tijuana Brass, then fine, but I am dissapointed by your unwillingness to resolve issues peacefully, and letting me communicate my veiws. Thankyou Tijuana, and from here on, correspondence will cease.

Album covers
Album covers are almost always copywritten, and except in very rare cases, are not permissible except through fair use provisions. As such, they should not be used on userpages and userboxes. --Improv 11:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

First Userbox
I've made my first userbox! Woohoo! I'm happy! What do you think? See User:Dfrg.msc#Stealing (and Making) templates!. Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 10:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, to check a user's contribs, go to their userpage, and then look in the sidebar for a link titled "User Contributions". As for the userbox, it's good to see that you're starting to understand templates (although userboxes are kind of discouraged nowadays). However, I again suggest that you're spending a lot more time with your userpage than you probably should, and that the primary focus of everyone's efforts here should be the project. For most established editors, they only touch their userpage every few months. Take care. --Improv 15:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- The photos are great! Taking good photos of things that can help articles is an excellent way to help with the project! --Improv 13:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Mate! I will definatley be lending my camera to the Wikipedia cause, though I am on dial-up uploading is a bit of a hastle; I will look into resizing in the future. You would be amazed at the ordinary things that have little or no images. For the Emperor! Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 09:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Co-ords of Parliament House
See here. Daniel.Bryant 08:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help with Parliment House's Co-ordenates mate. It did not occur to me to use Google maps. Beautiful userpage by the way. Enjoy the Adilade sunshine! Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 09:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- No problems on the co-ords, thanks for the compliment on my userpage, and I'll make sure I enjoy it :D ... all points answered. Oh, feel free to ask me to do anything which you need to help make Parliament House reach FA. I'll help in any way I can, but if you ask me to do something I'll make sure I give it a go. Daniel.Bryant 09:04, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

"This page is in a poor spelling and non-existant grammar free zone. Don't bugger it up, foo!"
However, Mr. T is not always right. But submissions must be legable. Continue at your own risk!
Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 01:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
As a suggestion, you may want to tidy up your spelling and grammar skills. The impetus for my changes was the fact that 'Australian' was spelt wrong in 'Australian royal' — an article which, due to lack of original content, was redundant. michael talk 01:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- No original content? Well, I'll argue that later. So I can't spell the name of the country I live in - that makes me even more 'Australian' and few of us actually can. Look, I'm doing the best I can with a keyboard with re-arranged keys and no S or Q, (I copy and paste them by the way) lower case michael. Your spelling and grammar mistakes are intended, unlike mine. Pehaps information that is relivant can be moved, changed or improved apon. Thanks lower case mik, Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 23:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Mate, I wasn't trying to have a go at you. Apologies if you took it that way. michael talk 01:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, Mik! It is me that should be apologizing to you, you said what you said out of genuine consern for me, which at the time I did not recoginize. You are right though, spelling and grammar is something on which I must work on; though there are definatley worse offendres (User:Culverin) I'm looking at you. I am serious about the keyboard with re-arranged keys and no S or Q. See the picture. And I have finaly found someone else that calls people by the more informal "mate" other than me! Woo hoo!

Patrol?
Would you be interested in joining my proposed, usertalk page archival patrol. Basically all we do is tell people to archieve their talk pages.

- No, I'm fine - my well read friend. Usertalk page archieval patrol? Just tell them or brutally enforce it? Perhaps we could make a friendly template, is a bit hard to read some pages (I'm on dial-up mate). It's pretty simple to archive, so I could do it for them I suppose. All right, I'm in.

Lego pictures
[[:File:DFRLego 003.jpg|thumb|100px|Yarr! In LEGO, I trust!]] I'm actually unsure what license is appropriate -- I would imagine that with stock legos, you might be able to use whatever license you want, but if you're making a replica of something well known that's under trademark, you might not be able to do so if it's accurate enough. It might be a good idea to ask someone more knowledgable about thus -- ask here for possibly better advice. Take care. --Improv 09:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Shortcuts
You can add shortcuts to articles by using the following code (this example links to the Esperanza coffee lounge):
{{shortcut|WP:ESP/CL|WP:EA/CL}}
but they're discouraged for talk and user pages, especially if the shortcut is from a main space page (e.g. Cake or 'C' to User talk:EvocativeIntrigue).
Shame Minun got blocked, because there was potential in him, but I haven't been around to know what's been going on recently- work has taken over my life and I'm moving soon too!
Nice to hear from you, anyway.

It is easily accesible (copy and paste!) and very easy to fill out. The links will serve an education function to everyone on Wikipedia. Dfrg.msc User talk:Dfrg.msc 04:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed your involvement in Minun's request to be unblocked. I am leaving this message to respectfully step back from "supporting" in any of his polls, because, unfortunately, it will only lower other's opnions of you. User:Minun was blocked on various accounts, including sockpuppetry, impersonation, harassment and copyright violation. Happy editing, Highway Return to Oz... 18:28, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I see your point and I am grateful for your consern. Poor Minun, I had no idea that it was this bad. Copyright violation? What drove him to it I wonder? However, I knew the "good" Minun, and I will continue to support him. I see that he has done bad to others and the Encyclopedia, I do not condone this and belive that these actions must have consiquences, but the Minun I knew was friendly, devoted and I know that if the tables were turned, Minun would be supporting me. I do not think he sould be unblocked at this moment, but I think leniency and compassion should be expressed. As far as I am conserned he is still part of the Wikipedia community and I wan't him to know that he still has friends here. I know that Minun can change.
