Reaver population percentage[edit]
I have reverted your edit to Reaver (Firefly) which changed the population percentages from 99.9% and 0.1% to 90% and 10%. This has been repeatedly corrected after verification with both the film and book, but people continue to restore the erroneous numbers despite both a talk page posting about this and an embedded comment specifically pointing out the common error. Please join our efforts to prevent this mistake. Thank you. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:02, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- That was my fault, I was attempting to revert an anonymous edit to 10% and messed up somehow.--SirNuke 18:43, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Vandalizing my talk page[edit]
Please refrain from vandalizing my talk page you FRESHMAN. (User_talk:68.188.139.55)
- Normally I would remove something like this, but your comment is one of the funniest things I have read in quite some time. Thank you.--SirNuke 03:13, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
NSD Student's Message[edit]
Hello Sir Nuke, and thanks for all your advice on my article. I hope you can help me in the future on all my edits and other contributions. I know about the issue with the high school thing, because the high school that we feed into had its article deleted for the same reason. But I really only planned a small audience for it, and as a test article anyway. Thanks also for the instructions on the deleting. Please help me in the future as well! And I apologize for taking so long. I saw your message earlier, but I can't edit from school on account of our school's ISP being banned for having some vandalizing students.
Thanks Again!
NSD Student
P.S. How do I make my name blue and stuff like that? (Like make it a link?)
Uncyclopedia User[edit]

"humourous"[edit]
Just so you know, 'humourous' is the correct spelling of 'humorous' in UK/International English ('humour' (UK, versus 'humor') + 'ous'). Not that it really matters.
Now that that's out of the way, we should have a chat about a certain word called Irony, since I was born and currently located in Midwest USA...--SirNuke 06:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

- In British English, -our words change to -or when certain suffixes are added. -ize and -ous are the most common ones. Ah, sweet irony... —Wereon 15:28, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sirnuke
Tks for commenting the article.
But.. about the colors... i didn´t saw anything against the background color on Wikipedia formating rules. I´m new to wikipedia, and i´m still trying to understand how it works and the rules.
I searched here:
"Introduction The five pillars of Wikipedia How to edit a page Help How to write a great article Manual of Style "
For what i understood about colors (here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style), is that people with color blindness, black-and-white printouts, older monitors with fewer colors, monochrome displays may have problems reading coloured "text". Since the articles refers to use orange or violet text colors and since some pages in wiki also uses a light blue background (like the same page of manual style), i tested it to see if this could be a problem for people with those restrictions. I tested on Vischeck, and choose a soft ocre as a background since it shouldn´t affect the vision of those people (and it is easily seeing in old monitors). This tone of color is no more harmfull then the light blue background from wiki, i mean... the background soft blue in wiki, is on the same tone i used.
So, mainly i choosed some background that does not affect others, and also that keep the same good looks as wikipedia pages, like i saw in some portals.
What i avoided is using strong coloured tables (dark purple or dark red as i saw in some other articles) because this can be dificult to others to read.
If there is a prohibithion of using soft (pastel) colors in the background please, tell me where i can read it to adapt the article.
Sorry for my bad english, i´m not a native english speaker, as you may have noticed :)
Best Regards,
Guga --Beyond2000 07:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (Image:KTorrent-icon.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:KTorrent-icon.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — SheeEttin {T/C} 18:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- This is just boilerplate, it's actually been superseded by Image:Ktorrent icon.png. — SheeEttin {T/C} 18:28, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
