Hi my name is Kristin aka Tattoodwaitress, I created account on here years ago and quite honestly have been so afraid of failure when it comes to editing pages that I never really got started. Since then I have thought about it many times and finally decided to introduce myself and attempt to get going with an edit here and there. How does one get really basic help (besides the help section) is there a way to chat with other users here? Just curious Signing with [[User:Tattoodwaitress|Tattoodwaitress]] ([[User talk:Tattoodwaitress|talk]]) 00:43, 31 May 2012 (UTC) as instructed above and am wondering about the text image I am to create which will signify that I am me? Forgive this really really newbie here ([[User:Tattoodwaitress|Tattoodwaitress]] ([[User talk:Tattoodwaitress|talk]]) 00:43, 31 May 2012 (UTC)) |

Engagement on Wikipedia
Hi my name is Kristin aka Tattoodwaitress, I created account on here years ago and quite honestly have been so afraid of failure when it comes to editing pages that I never really got started.

Adding guests to the upper columns
Just FYI: I added an HTML comment, explaining that we need the left-hand column of guests to be no longer (or at least, not much longer), than the right-hand column. This is because the left-hand column is placed with the css property "display:absolute", which means that it's not taken into account when the page lays itself out. The bottom of the page (where guests initially place their profiles) is placed without regard to the length of the left column; only the right column "counts." The practical upshot of this is: if the left column is longer than the right column by enough, it will overlap the bottom section. So, we should try to make the columns even when possible, and err on the side of making the right hand column longer. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 19:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out, Writ Keeper! As the only one moving guests for a while, I didn't bother to explain some things (my apologies). I also want to note (here, for others) that I tended to leave the most recent guest at the bottom so people making new profiles didn't think there was something wrong when theirs did not look like everyone else. Thanks again! If anyone wants to adjust the code to prevent this from happening, that would also be awesome (my attempt failed). heather walls (talk) 20:16, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
- You mean I broke it?

- Oh, no, you're fine; this is a different issue that happened earlier today. Some of your templates are a bit messed up, though; I'll fix it for you, no worries! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:14, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
- Or Heather will beat me to the punch! Oh well. You should be fine now, thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Sockpuppet
- User:Mukta Bieber is blocked
- User:StandardSwan is indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet. MathewTownsend (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hi there, you're welcome to remove blocked editors from the guest page. I have done it previously. I'll take care of these folks, but, in the future, again, feel free to removed blocked guests, hosts, etc, if you wish. Sarah (talk) 01:04, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- ok, but I can't figure out how these pages work. I did try. MathewTownsend (talk) 01:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- When you go to edit the page you just have to search for the users profile entry and then remove the template. Sarah (talk) 01:17, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia book link?
Hi everyone. I noticed that someone added a link to the Wikipedia Missing Manual book. It appears to have messed up the layout a bit and doesn't look like it really fits in well. I think it'd be best to remove it, or move it else where (a Teahouse helpful links page? I don't know)... just a thought. Sarah (talk) 01:10, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Sarah, that was me, I sent you an email. The layout is the same as it always was (unless it looks different to you, somehow.) It was discussed here. Feel free to remove it and we can talk about making a helpful links page. heather walls (talk) 01:16, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- I saw the conversation, perhaps I missed the email (I'm traveling). Perhaps it just looks odd for me due to the size of my screen size or...I don't know. Here is a clip of the screenshot[1]. Sarah (talk) 01:20, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- That looks pretty bad! Reverted. heather walls (talk) 02:12, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Good try though :) Sarah (talk) 02:16, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
