| + | :No problem. I only mentioned it because it can be weird when you see soeone else edit your user page. I only had to fix the link because I moved the article to its appropriate namespace (per admin request) and deleted the redirect, which is where your link would have gone.

welcome
Thanks for the hearty welcome. I read with great interest about my exploits on your CP page. Now, as you can imagine, I've taken a few liberties with a couple pages on that site - what'd I do to ya? --Huey gunna getcha 22:41, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
- Oh, all you did was "welcome" me - soon after I registered, forcing me to figure out if you were a freak who belonged there, or some sort of clandestine human being. human 22:45, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
helicopter
umm...what? --Huey gunna getcha 23:34, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
- In late summer, as evening falls, when the dragonflies are buzzing my lawn at twelve inches, all I can think of is those Bell Huey choppers in Viet Nam movies... huntin' skeeters... humanbe in 23:36, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
Political Slant?
Do we consider ourselves liberal? Would it be OK for the politics category to describe all articles in it delivered with a liberal and therefore rational perspective. Icewedge 23:43, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
- I don't think we are at all limited by political ideology in that way - while some of us are unabashed liberals, I think we include some libertarians already, and welcome any politics as long as the person seems basically sane - you know, rational. I'm not exactly sure what your second question means. humanbe in 23:47, 21 May 2007 (CDT)
User boxes
Having trouble with those? I'll import the userbox top and bottom. --Helios 03:02, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Excellent, thanks! I have a stash of UXB templates GL saved before the wipe, I'll have to figure out an easy way to load them up. Although, I suppose it would make more sense to put some effort into an article or two. humanbe in 11:38, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- "Articles"? Nothing is more important that having access to an excessive number of userboxes. Upload away. --AKjeldsen 12:39, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- OK, I have over a hundred of the templates (without names!) stashed in my sandbox - does anyone know an efficient way to upload them? Editing each one one at a time is tedious! humanbe in 12:50, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

Hey, what's with the US flag for the public school UBX? We have public schools here in Northern Canuckistan, too! (say, is there an explanation how to use them shiny userboxen somewhere? I might want to gank a few) --Kels 13:08, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- I have no freakin idea. I just copied the uxb over, and grabbed the image it referred to. Please fis it. How about finding an image of a mortarboard (you know, grad. cap thing), or a diploma, or a brain, and changing the template? humanbe in 13:13, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Be happy to, once I have a firmer idea of how the process works. Might even draw something myself (mmm...brains...). Is there any info on how to do that, and how to use the boxen on my own page somewhere? --Kels 13:17, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Copying always worked well for me. If you see something you like, click "edit" to see how it was done, and copy it to your page. Basically, you put {{userboxtop}} at the top of your uxb list, and {{userboxbottom}} at the end. If there's a uxb with a name that you want, put this in the list: {{user uxbname}}. You can also hard code them, several ways. If you follow the link to my old page on CP (where it says "I joined" on my user page), then click on "looserboxen" you'll see an explanation of some of how this works.
- If you make or find an image you want to use, save it to your hard drive, and click on "upload file" at the left to put it up here. To edit a UXB, use this url: http://www.rationalwiki.com/index.php?title=Template:User_uxbname&action=edit Hope this helped! humanbe in 13:29, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- It helped a lot, thanks. I've done the image uploading thing for my page over at the ComicGenesis wiki, so I managed to learn a couple of the more basic things in the process, now it's just a matter of getting the training wheels off. --Kels 13:37, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
No problem, yeah that was me. Just made a bunch of templates. MiddleMan
- Me too. It's easiest to name them in a file, then the link goes straight to an edit box, and then cut/paste in the meat from my sandbox, or wherever. I've also been pruning the uxb templates in my sandbox, let the YEC's and reaganauts make their own if they ever come here! humanbe in 16:55, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

A little help
Do you have that mirror article somewhere?PalMD-Talk 14:50, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Dude, it's already posted ;) It was the first article on RW V. 2.0! See Essay: Motivations_for_the_Theory_of_Evolution. humanbe in 15:01, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Comrade, could you consider doing a side-by-side of my Essay, Essay: Creationist Behavior on Conservapedia, with cp:Essay: Liberal Behavior on Conservapedia? If so, good stuff would happen.-AmesG 19:19, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Hi Comrade, haha, my first thought was to say, hey, just copy the table tags & text and stuff and you're there. But then, I thought of all the good writing and research and work I've seen, and all I do is whip up the troops to make userboxes, and since "I can", and you already did all the hard work, why not? Sure, I'll do it for ya buddy - I see the link to the CP foolishness is probably good, but where is your essay located (hint: don't name it "Essay: something", there is no "Essay" namespace. Leave out the colon.)? Is it on your user page? Saved somewhere? If so, put it here:

Howdy
Hey Huw. The [[cp:whatever]] links don't work anymore! Do you by any chance know how I fix that? GodlessLiberal 16:21, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- The RationalWiki drive was wiped so we lost the scripting. -Icewedge 16:24, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Yeah, how do we get it back/redo it? GodlessLiberal 16:25, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- I think we have to bring it to Trent or Linus' attention. They did it before, they can do it again. Or, can you, Ice? It will be an important function for ease of referring to files, right? humanbe in 16:26, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Ask Colin, the webmaster he has to do it I think. -Icewedge 16:28, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

- Its on my to do list, so I will get to it soon, promise! Tmtoulouse 16:30, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Thanks! GodlessLiberal 16:38, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Should be done now. Tmtoulouse 16:56, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Excellent, I'll go test 'em at Pal's essay, and load it up if they work. humanbe in 16:59, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- One last detail - did the "CP:" used to vanish in text? It would look better that way - although, I guess either is fine. It does make it more obvious where the link goes if it's still there... humanbe in 17:01, 22 May 2007 (CDT)

The only way to make it vanish is to set it like [[cp:whatever | whatever]] Tmtoulouse 17:12, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Ah, ok, cool. So it can be done easily. Man, that ashfly guy had like 20 links to the theory of evolution in his essay. I left one... humanbe in 17:19, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
Beee-atch!
I can't believe you touched my user page!! I mean, of all the unmitigated...oh, wait, you helped me! Well, cover me in lard and slide me through a glory hole! Thanks!--PalMD-Talk 21:43, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- Well, isn't that special :) humanbe in 22:32, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
Liberal user category
I would have added it myself, if it had been an act of free will. HOWEVER, you have chosen to edit my user page. Why did you not have the simple courtesy to mention the category on my talk page? I consider this to be a grave breach of wikiquette. Staple 23:20, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
- touché, mon ami - except, um that was your talk page ;) Anyway, nice to see you around again! humanbe in 23:32, 22 May 2007 (CDT)
