Hi there. Thanks for visiting.--WarEqualsPeace (talk) 19:31, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TO DO[edit]

Eventually put archive dot org source for that Joey Beladonna quote (in "Solo Career"). The espyrock page is still at the cited address as of April 2020, but it's an old (Feb. 2011) article -- that link could rot at any time. Archive link here. Look to other citations for an example of a properly archived ref (LOOK in source comments) --WarEqualsPeace (talk) 14:52, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User pages[edit]

Me again. I have this compulsion to share ideas, so please humour me. :) Do forgive me if you already knew all this ...

A lot of people choose - as they're entirely entitled to - to leave their own wp:user page empty, with the result that their account name & signature stays in red on history pages etc. (as in here). You'll know that your own user page is empty & in red for now - User:WarEqualsPeace . That's perfectly fine.

Others prefer to use their user page to show the articles they've created, or helped edit, or maybe the projects they're working on, ideas for the future, tips they've picked up & want in one place for reference /passing on, etc. etc. - you name it - basically just about anything they fancy having there.

So their user names & signature appear in blue, & other editors can see what their niche /forte is, for instance my own User:Trafford09 - we can see I work on Go pages etc. & that my name's blue on the history pages of the articles I've edited.

So, we can choose relative anonymity (red) or sharing ideas (blue).

There's no correct way - it's entirely personal choice.

But it did occur to me that it's interesting to see what articles interest people, & in your case, I wondered if you'd considered putting any Go-related comment, say, onto User:WarEqualsPeace.

Obviously, you could then edit / expand your user page just as & when you (& only you) saw fit.

Ah well, just a thought. Thank you for reading (if you got this far!). And just to reiterate, you don't need to do anything - it's completely a matter for you alone to choose or not, as you prefer - and there's no deadline either!

Best, Trafford09 (talk) 15:13, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
