User talk:Linuxerist~enwikinews/New

Welcome
Linuxerist/New, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --DragonFire1024 / talk Jason Safoutin 02:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi! Question, what does Firefox and Linux user mean? -Edbrown05 05:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

UserBoxes
I bet if said to you that Wikinews debated whether or not you could have Mozilla or Linux or Tequilla or Whiskey or any other user boxes on your user page you wouldn't give a shit. -Edbrown05 07:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * His userboxes are probably not really userboxes. They're not transcluded, I don't think. --Chiacomo (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Right you are. Except for the Babel, they are merely the code used to produce userboxes. I also made sure not to use POV ones here. ~Linuxerist L / T 15:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the way I approached you Linuxerist. You popped up new, the developing Moussaoui story popped up new (I have a record of interest in that news topic), and your user box implementations popped up all at the same time. I zapped :) Best regards to you! -Edbrown05 02:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
