User talk:Sherry4President

A few pointers
Hey there! Just a few tips and pointers to make out!
 * 1) When editing pages, use the Show preview button before saving the page. That way there isn't loads of edits on the same page in a similar timeframe.
 * 2) Sherry Palmer was not the First Lady before Martha Logan. In fact Sherry was never even First Lady, she wasn't married to David when he was President.

Good work with the edits! SignorSimon 19:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm very glad you chose to stick around Anthony! Those actor pages are great additions and you've really caught on to most of the little details for creating them. It takes trial and error but it's always a pleasure to find a new contributor with dedication and patience like you've shown. – Blue Rook 19:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs

Thanks ! I won´t be online much during summer though...oh well !! :) 2Anthony4

Actor pages
Did you make that actor page up yourself for Matt Huhn? It's a lot easier to just click the button that says "Actor", because it comes up with all the defaults on it. Also, when adding an image to the sidebar, you don't need the thumb and alignment sections because it is in the sidebar, you only need the image name and the size you want it to be, e.g. is all you need in the sidebar. Finally, you need to have categories at the bottom of the page. Hope that all helps! SignorSimon 16:36, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for making the Matt Huhn page, he was one of our more wanted (linked-to) red pages. I'd like to second Simon's advice: it makes things much easier! While I'm here, take a look at the list below. Some images you've uploaded are exact duplicates of others. Since the older ones are already linked, the new ones will be deleted again.


 * 1) Link to Image:Almeida Day 4.jpg instead of Image:Almeida (5).jpg
 * 2) Link to Image:MandyDay4nologo.jpg instead of Image:Mandy.jpg
 * 3) Link to Image:MichelleDesslers4.jpg instead of Image:Dessler (5).jpg
 * In addition, the picture you found of Matt Huhn also doesn't sit well with rule #1 of our Wiki 24:Image use policy, it has the longest and obscurest name.
 * These are the kinds of mistakes that can only be learned from experience, so please understand that we're not angry with you about any of this. I made plenty of mistakes when I first joined too. – Blue Rook 17:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs

Season 2 unofficial guide
Hey, there already exists a page for 24 Season 2: The Unofficial Guide, so I've redirected the one you created to the old one. Feel free to add anything new you think it's missing. Also, check out 24 reference books for a complete list of the guides. --Proudhug 21:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxford
Was Oxford mentioned in the show? – Blue Rook 13:39, 18 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs


 * Im not sure if Oxford is mentioned on the show but it came up as a red link so I created the page.It says on Morris O'Brians page he attended oxford....2Anthony4

Nice catch! If it was in Morris' profile, we can certainly have a page for it. The only issue now is that it has to be changed to conform to the "in-universe perspective". I'll do this so you can see what is meant by the policy on this topic. The main issue you may have is that the picture, since it wasn't taken from the show itself, unfortunately has to go. This is to prevent the wiki from containing pictures that have nothing to do with 24. To help better understand this, check out User talk:Markdanielmiller, where we had to delete an image of a knife that was not taken from the show.

I'm glad you've come aboard to learn the ropes here though! – Blue Rook 14:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs

Thanks for being so helpful.2Anthony4

Thanks for your contributions to Wiki 24! Please check out the links above to get a feel for editing at this wiki, and drop any questions you might have right here. Also, remember to add spaces as necessary before/after your periods and commas, it saves the editors who proofread the latest edits at Special:Recentchanges some time. – Blue Rook 03:33, 6 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs


 * It is great to see that you're taking the time to personalize your user page. There are ways to list those favorite characters in order, and keep their images really organized. If you let me, I can straighten them up for you, and you check out my changes to learn how to do similar fixes elsewhere in the future yourself. Sounds good? If not, feel free to tell me to buzz off, I won't be offended :) Also, remember not to post any of the Season 7 images you have uploaded to any articles on the wiki (they are spoilers, and aren't eligible for inclusion in the main namespace). – Blue Rook 00:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)talk contribs


 * Actually, I'd go one further and request that Season 7 images not even be allowed on user pages. --Proudhug 01:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok.I deleted the picture.Thanks for the offer Blue Rook but I think I'm ok for now.I'll be sure to consult you in the future if I encounter any problems though.--2Anthony413:53, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
