User talk:Utopian

Side Account

May I ask... why the side account? -- Brains12 \ talk 22:28, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I was bored and noticed the name wasn't taken. More created just for the heck of it :P --U T O P I A N

Ok.. On another note, you can add a timestamp after your signature by entering another tilde (useful for trying to find out when a comment was made). -- Brains12 \ talk 22:35, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I guess :P Its the tackiest thing in the world though. U T O P I A N 22:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

-doesn't know why he's doing this on his own talk page- If anyone reads this, and they're semi-userpage savvy and would be willing to help me, I'd appreciate it. —Utopian ♫

Nevermind, got a good enough one for now. —Utopian ♫

Three tildes or four?

Are you using three tildes when you sign? Just asking because your comments on User talk:Wandering Traveler don't include the date. Four tildes gives the signature and date. --Kakarot 03:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Three, I only leave four in busy conversations. —Utopian ♫

You should use four on talk pages since it allows people to see when you commented. --Kakarot 03:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I know; its a bad habit of mine. Sorry :P —Utopian ♫ 03:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

They can see that in history. The point of dates is to provide context: what other posts would the writer have been aware of? Backsword 03:53, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Context? I'm not quite sure I understand... —Utopian ♫ 04:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Nice name.

Why'd you choose it? Vael Victus 14:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Its just a common name I have for all my internet accounts. I'm not quite sure why I have it though :P —Utopian ♫19px]] 17:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome

Heya Utopian, just to let you know that copy/pasted or templated welcomes have in the past created problems and are rather discouraged. Welcoming new users is great, but just type them a personal note with the pertinent information :D -- Wynthyst 08:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Ooh really? Ok; I'll mark it for deleton or w/e (: Thanks for the heads up! —Utopian ♫ 08:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You can keep it as a reference of pertinent shortcut links and stuff, just don't copy/paste the text or subst it in. :D-- Wynthyst 08:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay :P I'm heading off to bed, so I'll (probably) talk to you tomorrow. Good night (: —Utopian ♫

Notes at the top

Don't edit comments. -- Brains12 \ talk 09:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, you might want to do something about the code -- it's harder to add new comments if one can't do it by clicking the +. -- Brains12 \ talk 09:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

You didn't have to remove it altogether -- I've seen some user talk pages with formatting in that was similar to yours. As long as it doesn't hinder the ability to easily add comments, it should be fine. For example, User talk:Fall has formatting but it's still possible to add a new section with the +. -- Brains12 \ talk 09:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

The formatting didn't work in all browsers and everytihng anyways. I'm perfectly fine with a blank page :p —Utopian ♫ 09:40, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, if that's ok with you :P -- Brains12 \ talk 10:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Maintenance

Hi Utopian, I noticed you have a link to User:Utopian/Redirect on your userpage that redirects to Category:Maintenance, did you know that you could link directly to the category using the code [[:Category:Maintenance]] instead of creating a redirect? --Kakarot 13:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

No, I didn't! I tried a previewed several times to get it to work; I didn't know you had to put in a colon in front. I'll go change that right now (: —Utopian ♫ 23:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah without the colon it just adds the page to the category. Oh and if you no longer need that redirect page; just wondering since it's presently being categorized into the Maintenance category which is actually how I first noticed it; just tag it with the code {{delete|U1: User request|speedy}} :) --Kakarot 04:11, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I have a couple pages I need to delete actually *speeds off to go tag them* Thanks for your help! —Utopian ♫ 04:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
