thanks but I don't need help
:Well, if you ever do need help, I'm there to help. I see your userpage is great. Keep on workin' hard {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

==Date of Birth==
You may want to get rid of the Day of Birth. Some creep could find it and start harassing you. Or something like that.

==Welcome Sam the Man!==

{{{personal|Welcome to the '''Homestar Runner Wiki''' Sam the Man! We're glad to have you as a member.}}} If you need any help, feel free to ask me or anyone else on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|welcoming committee]]. You can also post questions on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].<p>

[[Image:Weclome Back everybody.PNG|thumb|Welcome from the gang!]]
Here's some advice to get you started:
*If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the [[Help:Contents|help]] page.
*Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our [[HRWiki:Standards|rules and stuff]], including the rules for your [[HRWiki:User space|user space]], to make sure you don't get yourself banned.
*If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]] to see the projects we're working on that '''YOU''' can help with!
*To practice editing, or to simply have fun, go over to the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]].
*If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum].
*If you see an update on [[HR:|homestarrunner.com]] that isn't listed on the [[Main Page]], put it up [[H*R.com updates|here]].
*To sign and timestamp a post on a talk page, type four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*If you have a question no one else can answer, don't be afraid to ask a sysop like [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] or [[User:Jay|Jay]], and always trust the FAQ page to help.
*Above all, be sure to '''be bold''' and have fun!

Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. After all, your user space (including your talk page and any sub-page) belongs to you. I hope I can help you out if you need it, and also that you'll find the other users helpful as well. Remember, everyone else is here to help too, not to say your ideas are complete bull honkey.

Sincerely,<br />

== Linking to running gags ==

It is not proper wiki practice to link to things such as this. Please stop or I will be forced to sick a sysop on you. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 13:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
PS. Just to clarify, the part about the sysop was a joke, but still, please stop doing it.
:Generic pages like [[running gag]] and [[Easter egg]] are generally only linked to here when we're talking about runnning gags or Easter eggs in ''general''... when we're talking about a ''specific'' gag or egg, we leave those links out, 'cause otherwise it'd just be link overload... too many links can sometimes be less helpful than not enough. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:What! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== I apologize if I offended you in any way ==

It certainly was not my intention to offend you, and I am always happy to see a new user join. I think your edit to my user page was a bit uncalled for, but point taken. I hope you'll accept my apology, and that we can come to be friends in the future. Very seriously, [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:07, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
:Hey! It's O.K! Me too. I would like to be your friend. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Show Preview ==

Just a tip for future reference for when you're messing with your user page: when you're editing, there is a "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button &ndash; if you use that, you can see what you've changed without saving the page, which is easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and it doesn't fill up [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]] with your edits. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
:Please, use Show Preview when you're editing pages... it's much harder to keep track of the changes to the wiki when there's 10 edits in a row on the same page, all by the same person, tweaking the formatting in ways that would be much easier done with Show Preview. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:55, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
::Sam, this is ridiculous. Please use "show preview" when editing your user page. If you don't know what we're talking about, then at least post here and ask. Thanks. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks you for the info! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
== Editing others' userpages ==

You have been told before, I believe, not to edit others' userpages, especially not to add disparaging language to them. Doing so is considered vandalism. Don't do it again, or you may be blocked from editing. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

:Going through your edits, I see that you have added "I suck" three times to user pages of other users. This is not acceptable. You need to learn to a) not take everything so personal and b) use talk pages to tell others in a civilized manner about your grievances. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone defaced your user page. I also urge you to apologize to DeFender and Trey.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! Fine! I'll stop. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
==Strong Bad Allegiance==
Please leave me a messege after the beep. "BEEP"!
:Just asking formally if I could be in your awesome club. It sounds cool. Actually, make that kewl. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:37, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
::Hey juys. Let me take this opportunity to point out our totally awexome [[HRFWiki:|sister wiki]]. I really think it might be a better fit for your clüb. Thanks one million. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:::If he wants to do more of it there, that's fine, but from what I gather "the club" is just putting a userbox on your page that says you're in it. It's kind of like the Posse one or the Nerd one. No harm done there, I believe. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 16:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright! You are now part of the club. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:No, I would rather not [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]. I want it to be like T(w)een Guy Squad. Thanks anyways. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
Well, only two members is hardly a club. So... Can I make it ''three''? ;) &mdash; {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 13:28, 18 March 2007
:Sure. I'll send you messege as soon as I can. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I'd LOVE to join!!!! {{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 00:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

:Yay! I'm in a club! {{User:Austio888888/sig}}
Heck, this is growing fast, so might as well join. Thanks for the invite, btw. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 21:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
::I'd like to join, man. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 16:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Like seriously, man. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 16:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, can I join? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease? --{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}


I will join, thanks for asking. ^^

== Welcoming anonnies ==

I'm pretty sure we're not in the habit of welcoming anonomous users. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::It's alright, just it would get kind of annoying and repetative to have the welcome thing on every random IP's page. I'm trying to save ''you'' the work. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 15:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== I feel useful! ==

I'd love to be part of the Strong Bad Allegiance. A character that funny deserves the sort of fanclub that you are offering. However, if you like SB so much, why do you have a gif of him gettig pummeled? {{User:Drippingyellowmadness/sig}} 18:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:And also, why are you using somebody else's personal image? --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 18:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
:Alright Drippingyellowmadness, your a member. The reason I have that image is because it's funny. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:I will not answer that question. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Your Signature ==

Hey there, Sam the Man. I'm just a friendly reminder that your signature does not conform to the [[HRWiki:Signature|guidelines]]. Images in signatures are limited to 20 pixels in height, and they should not use heavily distracting animations like your sig does. Please fix this. Keep on tranglin'{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

== Hey Sam ==

In the future, please don't edit my page. If you want me to change the way you're listed on my page, please post a message saying so on my talk page instead of editing it. Thanks, {{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Oops! Sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Editing while angry ==

Hello Sam. If you'll look at my reply on [[User_talk:It%27s_dot_com#Look.21_The_Doc_Agees_With_Me|my talk page]], you'll see that I don't actually have a problem with the article in question; rather, you simply need to follow the way we do things around here. I mean no disrespect to Dr. Clash, but if Phlip, who is a very accomplished editor (and is in fact a sysop here), nominates an article for deletion, then we are at least going to have a hearing on the matter. Just because an article is nominated for deletion doesn't mean it will be deleted. I want to caution you again against editing while you're angry. You might burn a bridge that you didn't really intend to burn. Just about every long-time user, myself included, has had something deleted that they worked for a while on. That's just the nature of the wiki, and you shouldn't take it personally or be discouraged by it. When things like that happen, I recommend you step back to cool off a bit before you do anything rash. Anyways, I'll talk atcha later, and keep on tranglin'. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:Secondly, I would like to mention that it is a very bad idea to remove a Tobedeleted template from a page. If you read It's Dot com's reply on the page, it clearly says to "let a sysop do that." Please, do not remove the template again. My paragraph isn't as long as It's dot com's, --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 21:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

==Da Iron Cup Award!==
[[Image:Iron cup of Brunswick Stew.jpg|thumb]]
Hey, Sam. I saw you've been making tons of good edits, like creating [[Europa-pean Lobster]], [[Trog-Cave]], and all those other pages you created. So, I wanted to award you (drumroll...) '''THE IRON CUP OF BRUNSWICK STEW'''.
<blockquote>This award, the first on HRWiki, is given to recognize good contributions and to let people know that their hard work is seen and appreciated. It was given to [[The Cheat]] by [[Strong Bad]] for his good work on [[New Boots]].</blockquote>
Keep up the awesome work, Sam! {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 23:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
::Oh my God! Well, I would like to thank [[The Cheat]] for helping me win. And I'd like to thank my agent [[Bubs]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:::Hey, guess what? I've made like 10 pages, but guess what? they all got deleted! --[[User:Jangles5150|Jangles5150]] ([[User_talk:Jangles5150|words]]+[[Special:Contributions/Jangles5150|helps]]) 20:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

== Editing another user's user page ==

Please don't edit another user's user page like that. Thanks. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
:Look, I'm sorry. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::You have repeatedly defaced user pages, and you have been warned not to do it again. You know very well that this is not tolerated here, and the next time you believe it's necessary to vandalize, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. Consider yourself lucky that you only get a warning now.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
:::I didn't read your talk page closely enough, or I would have blocked you instead of posting here. Loafing is right, you are indeed lucky this time. There had better not be a next time. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Page Edits and Ideas ==

I have created a few pages and I'm still trying to think of ones. If you have an idea, please leave me a message. If you need help, also leave me a message. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

:Hi there, Sam the Man. Actually, you might want to consider shifting focus to [[HRWiki:Article cleanup|improving existing articles]] rather than trying to think of new ones to create. I've noticed that several of your articles have attracted discussion about merging or deletion (though several of those discussions have resulted in consensus to keep the articles) &mdash; the reason for this is that, with a few exceptions, we already have most of the articles we need. I'm sure it's not fun for you to have people discuss the deletion of your articles so soon after you create them, so I just thought I'd make this friendly suggestion. All this being said, I appreciate your contributions to the wiki, and you've made some good pages :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

== Woah, Sam! ==

How did you move an article when you're not a sysop? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
:You see move next to the history button. I clicked onto it and typed in the new name. I'm not a sysop but I'm getting closer. Besides, you don't have to be a sysop to move pages. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

== Welcoming ==

Hi there, Sam the Man: As you may have seen, the last three accounts you welcomed were all vandal accounts that had been blocked indefinitely, so there's obviously no point in welcoming them. In the future, it would be a good idea to check Recent Changes, and partitularly the [[Special:Logs/block|block log]], to make sure of that. Note also that, in this case, it wouldn't have been good to welcome them anyway because their usernames were too similar to those of existing users. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

:Ooh, sorry about that. And thanks for the info! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Rock rock on! ==

And the sam said "let there be a page" and behold there was a page! Good work sam! [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 19:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
:I disagree. I think you're making pages that could easily be a paragraph on another page. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Sam. I have a subpage that keeps track of ideas to improve this database. Maybe you'll find something you like. I'd love it if you could take care of some of these things. They are pretty important and it seems I'll never have the time or motivation to do it all. The page is located here: [[User:BazookaJoe/notes]]. Happy wikiing, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you, Mr.Bazooka. I will look and find something. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Allegiance meeting ==

Hi Sam. The sandbox is for testing wiki syntax; it's not the place to hold a meeting. (I don't even know how that would work.) Let me again emphasize that, if you're actually planning to do something with this allegiance, then moving it to the fanstuff wiki is probably the best course of action. Thanks for understanding. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

== TTBD ==

Please do me the courtesy of giving me a few minutes to get my thoughts together before I post the reason to delete a page. There's no need for you to immediately post asking why "someone" nominated it for deletion. Look in the history. ''I'' nominated it. Since your post was irrelevant, and since you edit-conflicted me, I simply didn't resolve the conflict. I notice that you're yelling again. I am therefore warning you again not to do that. Also, please stop ''looking'' for pages to create. We have all the pages we need. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:[[The Time Capsule|HAA!]] {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::I was not yelling at him. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
:::Final warning: yell at a user again and you will be blocked from editing.&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Ah, Sam, I started out just as you are.  Over-zealously trying to find minor pages to create.  Just keep your cool, listen to these guys (they are like the top-dogs around here, man), and try to edit in different ways. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 00:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> ==

Hey there, Sam. I just wanted to clarify one of my comments [[User talk:Trey56#Hey there!|here]]. There's no need to add the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag to articles that already have the <nowiki>{{tbd}}</nowiki> tag on them. That is, I totally understand why you did that in the last two cases &mdash; you were requesting that the pages be deleted because you felt that there was consensus to do so. Normally, however, the <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> tag is reserved for articles for which no discussion is necessary (e.g., vandalism, etc.). In the course of time, sysops will go through articles with the <nowiki>{{tbd}}</nowiki> tag &mdash; usually, there's no rush on these. Make sense? Grood :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

== Picture ==

Hi Sam. As a child under the age of 13, I'm afraid we [[HRWiki:Youth protection|cannot allow]] you to post your picture. Sorry. Thanks for understanding. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
:Ohhh, thanks for reminding me! Sorry for me yelling at you. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Personal Image Limit and Signatures, Too==

Hey, Sam the Man. It appears you have three personal images. Per [[HRWiki:Personal images|our guidelines]], you can only have two personal images (and one in your sig). Currently, you have three: [[:Image:750.PNG]], [[:Image:Bart Simpson.png]], and [[:Image:NY Yankees Logo.png]]. Please mark one of these for deletion with the {{t|delete}} tag. Thanks for understanding. 

Additionally, while we're on the topic of guidelines, [[User:Sam the Man/sig|your signature]] also does not fit [[HRWiki:Signature|regulations]]. According to the rules, a person's signature must fit inside this box: {{sigbox|User:Sam the Man/sig}}
Yours is several characters too long, as you can see. Perhaps dropping some of the images or changing the images to link to your talk and contribs could work. Thanks for understanding. Again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


== the egg i sent you (this is not spam) ==
please put that it'll hatch on April 15
:Sam, would you mind replacing the image on your page ([[:Image:Yoshi Egg.GIF]]) with [[:Image:Eguy egg.gif]]? Eguy uploaded the latter one since the former was another user's personal image. Thanks, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

== Orphan userboxes ==

Hey there Sam &mdash; I noticed that you had a lone userbox on your page and I saw that it was giving you some funny lines in weird places.  If you want to get rid of those, just add a <nowiki>{|</nowiki> and a <nowiki>|}</nowiki> on a line above and below the userbox, respectively.  It'll give you this:
{|
{{userbox|border=red|mainbkgd=blue|codebkgd=red|codecolor=white|code=SBA|msg=This user is a member of the '''Strong Bad Allegiance'''.}}
|}
Laters! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks! {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Moving SB2O ==

Hey there. [[User talk:Soakologist|Soakologist]] did the right thing by moving [[SB20]] without a discussion. That is because there is undebatably supposed to be an "O" in the title and not a zero, so it didn't need discussion. He did move the page the wrong way though, so that is where the confusion arised. I have fixed it so that the history is preserved and it says you created the page. Next time, try to assume good intentions from other users so you don't end up posting things on a talk page that the user doesn't deserve to see. I'll forgive you though. Keep on tranglin'. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Giving orders ==

Sam &mdash; do you realize that when you post things like {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:SB2O&diff=444777&oldid=444762 this}} you come off as ordering people around? (a) That comes off as pretty rude, (b) there's no hurry, and (c) that particular page didn't need to be deleted, just turned into a redirect, which you could have done yourself. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I promise I won't do it again. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Vandal diplomacy ==

Hey, I know you meant well, but don't bother leaving "please stop" messages on vandal talk pages. It only emboldens them, and certainly won't get them to stop. If it were a user with a decent history doing dumb things, that's one thing. But it's a waste of your time with a vandal. Best thing you can do is to watch their edits and quickly revert until a sysop can block them. Thanks for trying to help, though. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Rude Posts (not yours!) ==

Hey there, StM. Please don't remove legitimate posts [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADorianGray&diff=445973&oldid=445969 like this one] from talk pages, even if they are rude. DG can remove this from his page if he sees fit. Also, we don't use anonny talk pages with very few exceptions. If anonnies want a talk page, they need to register an account. Keep on tranglin'.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks! I won't do that again. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Thanks, man! ==

Yo Sam! Thanks for the recognition of my uploading talent. Actually, I use both MS Paint and InfranView. I create the image in MS Paint, then convert it to PNG in InfranView.

== runescape (THE ACCOUNT WORKS!!!)==
Sure, you can have it. just as a forewarning, i gave away my armour and weapon, but there's like 80K in the bank you can use. Here's the account:

'''Name''':Coopers3205 <br />
'''Password''': im not stupid enough to post the password here. you know my wiki acount name, right? the password is the last 4 numbers of my account with 91 at the end. got it?<br />
'''Bank PIN:''' First 4 digits of password

See my talk if you have questions.<br />

-Zerlock-you-know-who.

PS: IT WORKS!!! I tried it, it still exists. I messed up the User name though, which is why it initially didn't work. Also, you can delete any old friends. if they strike a conversation, you can just say it's someone different. I have like 80-100 qp (cause that's what i do) and you have to switch to members if you want anymore quests. The only free quest i haven't done is the dragon quest, so you might have to pay the fee.



:Say, how's the account workin' out for ya? -{{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}
PS: CAHNGE THE PASSWORD!!!
:::It's working out great! How do I change the password? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

::::On the main menu screen (When you just open the site) there will be a tab on the LEFT SIDE called "Account Management". Under this tab, there will be a link called "Change Password". There, just log in and change the password to your liking. If you need additional information, ask me for it.-{{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}

== TTATOT? ==

Hey, Sam. Regarding {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=animal&diff=next&oldid=450673 this edit}}: that's not really TTATOT. It would be TTATOT if it was in "Real-World References" with an explanation pointing to the work that it is referencing (not needed in this case), and someone had added another work which it might have also been referencing. The edit in question was an unnecessary explanation. Just a heads up. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 14:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks for reminding me. I often forget a lot. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

== Userboxes ==

Hi Sam. I like the Yankees too, and at one time the Simpsons were good, but neither one of those should be in your userbox tower. As it states on [[HRWiki:Userbox]], userboxes must be "related to your Homestar Runner experience (favorite toon, what you like to do on the wiki, etc.)".

==Welcome Template==

Hey there, Sam the Man. I strongly advise you to subst your welcome template on talk pages like so <nowiki>{{subst:User:Sam the Man/welcome|~~~~~}}</nowiki>. Some newcomers accidentally delete the welcome template. They don't do that on purpose, but simply because they don't know better. Keep on tranglin'!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:Also, I don't think {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sam_the_Man/welcome&diff=next&oldid=451689 this}} line is really necessary.  The edit seemed to be an accident and the tone sounds a bit harsh.  It would be better to direct them to the [[HRW:ST|standards]] page which you already do, and remember politeness and being welcoming goes a long way! That is the primary purpose behind the welcoming committee. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:40, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

There was no need to tell that anonny that he will be blocked. His edits were in good faith, and he probably did not even notice that his first edit was removed. Threatening someone with a block is very serious and should only be done if that user is truly disruptive.  Don't ever threat someone with a block for no good reason.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

:Sorry. Now I know. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}

::Sam, i'm a bit confused as to why you think you have the right to threaten blocking anyway. You're not a sysop. You've been on the wiki for barely 2 months. AND you clearly don't know the protocols, if you threaten to block someone for good faith edits. So my suggestion is try to be a bit more gentle with your posts. And just btw, I know where you're coming from, as I'm dealing with this same issue myself, see [[User_talk:DeFender1031#Not_getting_the_first_time|1]] [[User_talk:DeFender1031#Edit_summaries|2]] and of course my (not so) secret shame: [[User_talk:DeFender1031#Removing_facts|3]]. Sewiously, you and me stwong stwong, we've ''gotta'' do something about ''this''. All the best, [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 20:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

== Uploaded images ==

Hey there, Sam. I noticed that you have an [[User:Sam the Man/uploaded images|uploaded images subpage]] &mdash; several users have [[HRWiki talk:User space#Uploaded images subpages|agreed]] that this type of page does not satisfy the [[HRWiki talk:User space#What about user subpages?|requirements for user subpages]]. The two main reasons for this are that they don't directly serve the project and that there's already a built-in way to link to your uploaded images: {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=upload&user=Sam+the+Man&page= your upload log}}.

Along these lines, you should also move your [[User:Sam the Man/Featured Article of The Week|Featured Article of The Week]] to your user page &mdash; with rare exceptions, transcluded subpages aren't allowed when they could just as easily be typed out in the user page itself. 

Let me know when you receive this, and I'll delete these pages for you, or go ahead and make a comment [[HRWiki talk:User space#Uploaded images subpages|here]] if you disagree about the uploaded image subpage. Sorry, and thanks for understanding. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

== Unofficial Quote of the Week ==

Dear Sam the Man,

It's fun to see you getting into the weekly quote scene. However, I would appreciate it if you did NOT use my old quotes and especially my pictures from my personal Photobucket page. I spend a lot of time finding these quotes, and I only said that you could use the same basic ''idea'', not my actual quotes. That hardly seems like any fairness. Nextly, there's the issue of it being my own Photobucket images. That's stealing my bandwidth for my account. Sure, I hardly think one extra image is going to push it over, but I'd prefer not to take that chance. And don't even try copying my images onto your own account or nothing. That's just as bad. Either way, it's still using something that isn't yours. In my eyes, it's basically stealing. Furthermore, it's not like it's hard to make your own XML-edited quotes. Venusy wrote a very nice [[User:Venusy/weeklies.xml editing|tutorial]] on how to do it, and now it's just second nature to me. C'mon, you're a creative guy. Can't be that hard for you to think of something on your own. Either way, whether you can think of something or not, I'm going to have to ask you to stop using my quotes and images. They're not for your use. Please remove them from your user page. Thank you for understanding, and keep on trangling. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

== Transcript stuff ==

Hi, Sam, I saw you got to get some experience with transcript-writing, which is always fun. Unfortunately, I have a couple things I have to mention to you. First of all, after you claimed the transcript, you apparently [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=more_armies&diff=prev&oldid=460708 went to the store] without telling anyone you weren't working on the transcript anymore. This actually isn't OK. If you have to leave working on the transcript for anything much longer than, say, a bathroom break, you are expected to give it up and let another user work on it. It's not fair to the wiki to have to wait for a user to get back before the transcript can be done. In this case, the wiki went for over an hour with no changes in the transcript. Secondly, your transcript contained a lot of spelling errors. If you're not the best at spelling, that's fine; lots of people are like that. But consider copying your transcript into a program with a spellchecker and then run that so you can fix most of your errors. This is just so you know for the future. OK, talk to you later. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Curly brace ==

Hey there, Sam. I'm not sure that {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Sam_the_Man/welcome&curid=33523&diff=466790&oldid=466289 this}} is what you want to do; notice that it puts an [[User talk:WP CEO|extra curly brace]] after the date. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

== Personal images ==

Hello, Sam the Man, I'm afraid you're over the limit on personal images. You may have no more than two, and you currently have four: [[:Image:Winter.jpg]], [[:Image:NY Yankees Logo.png]], [[:Image:Bootdance.gif]] and [[:Image:Bart Simpson.png]]. Please choose which two you want to keep, and either abandon the others or mark them for deletion. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
:I don't want [[:Image:Winter.jpg] and [[:Image:NY Yankees Logo.png]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
::OK, I deleted it; however, you still have three personal images, one over the limit. Please choose one more. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:50, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks. Have fun. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
