Using Show Preview

Hello Elkmiester, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks,  Loafing 21:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

P.S.: If you need help with something, you should first look at the helpful links that you deleted from your talk page, like these. Loafing 21:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I looked at those links one more time, good idea. I guess instead of bothering sysops like Dot Com, Jay, and You, I should have just kept quiet. Didn't mean to bother all of you. -Elkmiester

Hey, it's absolutely no problem to ask another user for help. And I hope my reply did help you for now. Please don't hesitate to ask anybody once you're stuck again! And here are some more tips: if you reply to someone's post, do it on the same page. We usually keep discussions in one place. Also, you can sign your talk page posts with ~~~~, and it'll automatically be replaced with your name and the current date, like so: Loafing 23:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll try... Like this? |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 23:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

THAT IS SO COOL! |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|!

Yeah, it is! But one more thing about sigs, we have size limits on how long they can be. I see you already know how to make your sig look fancy, so I recommend only reading the "Basic Creation" and "Preparing For Usage" sections on Help:Signature. Talk atcha later, — ^Sam_{Fisher (Come in, Lambert.)} 23:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Sam-Man. Semms I'm off to a good start here, no one has called me a freak yet.:P ````

Your Name

Just out of curiosity: did you mean to be called Elkmeister? Loafing 23:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Jeremy Elke, at your service! :P It's a pretty boring story really. My full name is Jeremy Grant Ervin Elke, and once my friends found out, they made fun of it. I'm called Elkmeister, Aunt Jemima (Hate that one>_<) and some others. But the reason I spell it different is because in class that day we were learning the "I beofre E" rule. Now let me ask YOu,: Why did you choose "Loafing"? |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 23:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Nervous

Hi, my name is Elkmiester, I'ma new user on this wiki...I've been helping out with little changes for a while now and I just made an acoount now, about a month after I turned 13. I'm sort of scared about posting here and I never have before, I know that you're a big person on this wiki because nearly every page I visit has at least one edit from you, and I was hoping you could help get started,. You know, what I've been doing, little changes still, but things like talks, voting, and making friends instead of getting blocked. If you are busy I understand. -Elkmiester

Sorry for not replying right away, but since I already knew your IP when you joined, I could look up your IP's history, and I was waiting to see if this was a real account and not a vandal or spam account. In addition, as Loafing pointed out, I had already helped you by making the User:First Time Here? bot. I hope you enjoy your time here and become a productive member of the wiki. A word to the wise, however: you'll probably make friends faster if you don't insult them on your user page. Talk atcha later. — It's dot com 03:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I would NOT insult you. You're and admin and a sysop, but more then title you are a good helpful person here, who I actually look up to a bit. I just thought that, well, I'm a noob, gnome, and former troll, I felt kind of bad. Sorry if I offended you, I'm changing it now. I just want you to know it was NO insult, I mean, I ddn't mean to be. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 03:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
