[edit] Template

Hey bkmlb! You can stop adding those templates. It will take some time. Let's just let Grapenuts handle it. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 18:15, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oh! I didn't know it was on it. Thanks for notifiying me! :)-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 18:16, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Economy of edits

Hey BK. Go Yankees! Anyways, you know there's gonna be about a dozen more of these images, right? You can wait and add them more than one at time. — It's dot com 01:56, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oh yeah! Thanks for the reminder! (Yanks division champs, Red sox?? :) ) -- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 01:59, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Username

If you want to get rid of the period and use 'Bkmlb' as a username, I think JoeyDay or Tom just deleted the previous owner. It should be availible now. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 17:33, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! I'm already logged in newly, and will start moving my pages. Again.'--Bkmlb 17:34, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sig rederect

Why when ever there is my old sig name thing, it says that it's a rederect. Can this be fixed?--[[User:Bkmlb| Bkmlb(talk·contribs)]] 17:54, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirecting your sig doesn't seem to work either. I don't know if you did it manually, or if it redirected along with your userpage move, but in any case, It looks like you'll have to leave User:bkmlb/sig just how it is. You could edit it in tandem with your new sig page whenever, or even continue linking to it in your preferences page. I don't see how that could hurt at all. But Redirecting leaves ugly text, and doesn't even make the sig appear. I switched your sig pages back for you, as well. If you want, you could probably update the links at User:bkmlb/sig so that clicking on your old sig will link directly to your new userpage. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 17:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

EDIT: Oh good, you already updated the links. Then the only thing further you can do is leave your sig subpage at your old username, and leave that link in your preferences, or make a new sig subpage at User:Bkmlb/sig and link to that. That would mean if you ever edit your sig, any sigs left before your new username would remain unchanged. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Thunderbird! How can I make it so it isn't like [[User:Bkmlb|{{User:Bkmlb/sig}}]]--[[User:Bkmlb| Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did)]] 18:02, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Preferences, I think. Check 'Raw signatures' right beside your Nickname (sig) box. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, DUH! I didn't even notice that. Thanks so much for your help!-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 18:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

No problem. Lots of people's sigs got messed up the same way back when that box first appeared, at the last Media Wiki upgrade. Mine and FireBird's were some of them. If you look around at talk more than nine or ten months old, you'll still see the same sig glitches left by me and him. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:12, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome template

Hey! Looks like you have to deal pretty regularly with vandalism to your welcome template. Actually, it's not surprising, because when a new user sees your message with a little "edit" link above and clicks it, he/she is editting your template directly. Being new to the wiki, though, he/she thinks he/she (okay, from now on she's a she!) is editting her own user page; I made the same mistake myself. I fixed it on my own template with the __NOEDITSECTION__ magic word, which hides the "edit" link. That's two underscores, before and after; just drop into the top of your template. —AbdiViklas 01:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks notsostrong-Abdi ;)! I as just going to ask someone it I some make it so it was like that. People have been editing that alot, and BazookaJoe and It's dot com have been reverting it every time. So, thanks to them and you Viklas-bad ;)I like your new username-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 02:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, BK, that's not a viable solution. If you add that code to your welcome page, then they won't be able to edit any of the sections on their pages. What you need to do is substitute the template on their talk pages so that the code itself is copied, not a link. This is the format to do that: {{subst:User:Bkmlb/welcome}}. — It's dot com 02:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Wait, I'm confused what you mean. Should I just copy the text and post that there instead of the template?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 02:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Thats the way I have been doing it. No problems yet. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 02:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Heheh—removing "noedit" from my own template now. Yeah, I had mistaken the cause of Bkmlb's malady, and so had a faulty diagnosis. Yeah, Bkmlb, just type exactly what It's dot com said into the welcomee's talk page, and it'll auto-fill-in the contents of your welcome template. It'll still have a little "edit" link, but they will in fact be editting their own page. —AbdiViklas 02:24, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not in the Cards

bkmlb - I know we've chatted briefly before - if the Cards lose tonight, I'm sorry. My Yanks already went down in flames (I knew they would), but your guys still have a chance. They're better than the 'Stros, so maybe they can pull off the upset. Anyway, the baseball season is way too long for a five and seven game series that determines the World Series contestants...for what it's worth, go Cards. THE SMOKING MONKEY 01:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the encuragement. And OH what a game!! With 2 strikes on Eckstien in the Bottom of the 9th, he pokes a single past Ensberg and right by Everett. Them, Lidge Walks Edmonds. Here comes Pujols. He just smoked that pitch off of that glass wall and then it bounced onto the train tracks. Wow. I was crying of happiness and screaming my head off. As for the Yankees, I'm sorry. I thought that they might be able to pull it it out. The White Sox AL Champs. The Cardinals just have to concentrate on winning Game 6. And if we win that, then focus on Game 7. Take it one game at a time, and as Tony LaRussa says,"Go out and play a hard nine....(they have t-shirts of that you know)-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 12:35, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a good thing the roof was closed on Minute Maid Park, otherwise Pujols's moonshot wouldn't have even landed yet. I couldn't believe it. I simply could not believe it. In the span of under 10 seconds, over 43,000 went from absolute jubilation to utter dispair. As it turns out, though, that blast was merely a hiccup on the way to the Astros' eventual Game 6 win, as the Cards just seemed to fold under Oswalt's pitching. For what it's worth, that blown call in the 5th didn't cost you any runs, in my opinion, or at most it only cost you one run. Of course, it's impossible to say that what followed that play would have followed it otherwise, but the next three hitters hit into a sac fly, struck out, and popped out, and so they wouldn't have scored any more runs under that scenario even with the bases loaded and nobody out. The Astros were all over Mulder, who has now lost at least three elimination games. Who are you rooting for in the Series? Being from Texas, I'm rooting for the 'Stros, but I like the White Sox and will be happy for them should they win. I also feel for The Smoking Monkey, since I'm a Yankee fan as well. By the way, Dave, why do you say you knew the Yankees would go down in flames? If not for that freak collision–triple, I think the Pinstripers would have won that game and consequently that series. — It's dot com 12:31, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, Ben, I've followed the Bombers casually for two decades, seriously for the last 14 of those years. Despite being a skeptic, I do place a lot of value on gut feelings, and my gut told me on the day the clinched the division title, "Dave, the Yankees don't have it in them." I didn't know how it would happen, or when, but I simply knew they were destined to flame out, and flame out they did. Not in the sense of a horrific 0-3 sweep, but in the sense of ultimately not making the grade. This was not one of the better Yankee teams to make the playoffs; plenty of talent, but no heart. :( — THE SMOKING MONKEY16:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah! Friggin Oswalt. He really deserved the MVP, shutting us down the way he did. I knew it was over when I think in the sixth where that ball bounced in front of Edmonds and then hopped away from him that things were going the Astros way. It's kind of ironic the way the Cards and Red Sox seasons ended. Last year, Renteria made the last out to give the Red Sox their first world seires in 86 years. This year, while playing for the Sox, he made the last out to end their season. At the end of the World Seires last year they were talking about us needing another solid starting pitcher, who turned out to be Mark Mulder. He started game 6 and lost, a game when we got him, he was supposed to win. Like my dad has said almost his whole life:"I guess we just don't have the pitching." About Albert's homerun-that was amazing. For the first time in my life I literally cried of happiness. And it wasn't a cheap Minute Maid homerun either, it was a 412 foot moonshot, probably measured from second base. On the Astros flight to STL, Brad Ausmus told the piolit to say that if you look out the window, you can still see the Pujols homerun ball. In the series I'm rooting for the White Sox, because I have some family there, but I'm also mad at the Astros. Hopefully next year,

[edit] EBWiki

Sorry for not being to talk for awhile. I had to upgrade to mediawiki 1.5 which it is doing now and I had some school work to do. But the reason I went to spoony bard is we have HEAPS more space. Sorry that your have to upload the photos again. :( But when this one is up It will be on its wheels. (By the way this wiki is still Beta so don't tell anyone about it until we fix it okay! :) – Pertmywert (Talk·Edits) 20:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I would suggest that you message H*R 700 too. Again, whats the differance between a sysop and a beuracrat?-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 20:47, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

A bureaucrat can make other users into sysops. — It's dot com 21:11, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, thanks.(that's because I'm one there)-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 21:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hmm...

I think you should go to Upload Images, and see there. Or maybe some kinda MediaWiki pages has the unlock button. Try all these things, and you might get it! H * R 7 0 0

I'll try....-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 13:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] bubsty's secret page

since you know where bubsty's secret page is, could you tell me? --Coach B 14:52, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Just search Bubsty in to the search thing and than check the User box.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 18:58, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
