A barnstar for you!
The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page (I hadn't even noticed it!) and for helping me revert the user's vandalism all together. Enjoy this Barnstar! Bailo26 09:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
For Shempire language, could you give your reasons for wanting to merge? — kwami (talk) 21:59, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Blackout
You can do so by adding the following to the top of the area to be blacked out:
to the bottom of the area to be blacked out. Be aware, however, that I will be restoring the old content of my User:Philosopher/Header shortly after the "official" blackout ends, so you may wish to subst: it. --PhilosopherLet us reason together. via alternate account 12:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea, unfortunately I have no idea how to do that... Pascal (talk) 12:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
The Subst:? Or the placement? You can subst: a template by adding "subst:" before it. Compare {{User:Philosopher/Header}} and {{subst:User:Philosopher/Header}}. No visual difference - it's just that if you subst: something, it throws the code from the template onto the page and clutters the page's code somewhat and that updates to the template won't be reflected on the page that subst'ed it. --PhilosopherLet us reason together. via alternate account 13:01, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
There are two caveats, I suppose - 1) the colors from other templates/images/links will show through, if they aren't removed from the page and 2) the box will only appear as long vertically as there is text, though I think line breaks (<br> or ↵ Enter) would work for that purpose. --PhilosopherLet us reason together. via alternate account 13:07, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Fantastic, thanks for your help! Pascal (talk) 13:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to the April Wikification Drive
Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog size by over 1,300 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions, including a brand new one for the single largest wikified article! All you have to do is put an asterisk next to the largest article you've wikified, and coordinators will check its wordcount after the drive ends. If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks!
Note: The drive started April 1, and you can sign up anytime!

New deal for page patrollers
Hi Pascal yuiop,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Hello, Pascal yuiop. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
