User talk:Josh

Welcome messages
Hi (or hello?)

Just a quick note on welcoming new users to the wiki; I've noticed that recently you've used either the wrong template or incorrect formatting to do this. The correct (and only) way we should be using the welcome templates is:

 

I've noticed a lot of variations on this, mainly either forgetting to "subst" or using the Hello tempalte directly, but neither are correct. The subst is necessary as it places the entire paragraph of text in the user's talk page (a lot clearer and easier to understand/respond to for a new or inexperienced user). Using the Hello template is not appropriate as it misses off the section header; also, why would you want to type something longer than necessary? ;) Please don't think I'm nagging for the sake of it, I just think that with so few of us actually doing the welcoming, it'd be nice to get some consistency going. Thanks! 07:11, 6 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I might also add that you should change the edit summary to say Welcome. That makes it look more professional. 08:22, February 6, 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey there, I noticed you recently uploaded some images. Just a quick note here, we like to site our sources so if you could use one of our many Image Sourcing templates that would be much appreciated ;) 06:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh noes Josh! Now the world will come to an end! This will bring about the apocalypse! 06:28, February 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * It has ended. Bam. Gone. All because of your mistake, Josh. 06:37, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm deeply and truly sorry for disappointing you all in making Nintendo feel proud of themselves. --Josh 07:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)


 * On a related note, thank you for those awesome Skyward Sword enemy renders you've been uploading. We really appreciate it! :) Keep up the great work! Dany36 21:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, Jush. You did good this time. :P 22:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh! Wait, after you upload the transparent images, you aren't supposed to replace them on the image request page. No, you just take off the jpgs that you already made transparent. You don't replace them. 22:52, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * So close to perfect! D=Josh 22:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

About the Magnifying Lens...
Hey Josh. I just wanted to thank you for updating my Magnifying Lens image! The one I had was just temporary until I could make a better one, but thanks for doing it for me!

Out of curiosity, what program did you use to make it? I'm assuming it's not a screenshot...

Thanks again! Hylian King 07:02, 29 August 2010 (EDT)

Quotes
Hi. Do you know how I can implement quotes in the black-colored part of my userpage? I tried to add some, but the quotes break the black background wherever I place them. Do you know how I can properly use the color coding in the quote template to avoid this to happen? Thanks in advance! -- 00:07, 16 November 2010 (EST)
