Media license

Hi there. Regarding your recent audio file upload, could you please attach a relevant license to it? You can find a list of licenses here. If you recorded the audio yourself, consider attaching one of the "Free content" licenses or releasing the content into the public domain. Thanks. i-ghost 12:33, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up - do I need to re-upload the audio file to attach a license to it? I can't seem to find an option to edit the description. Cooper Kid 12:46, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

You can attach a license by editing the 'page' of the file as you would edit any other page, then type out one of the licenses. So for instance if you wanted to add the Creative Commons (self) license, you would add {{CC|by-3.0|self}} underneath where you previously wrote "Audio pronunciation of ClaidheamhMòr." If you have any trouble with this, don't hesitate to ask. i-ghost 12:51, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Done, thanks again! Cooper Kid 12:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Any time :) And good job, I'll add. i-ghost 12:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

check the cache before you just sling on the "needs improving" template HyenaDip

Sure, thanks for the heads up. Turns out I just had to reload the page, the images are all right now. Cooper Kid (Blether)·(Contreebs) 20:20, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

About the Spy references...

I think I found the line for Churchill... It's the 7th one down on the list. 6th page, I think. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/w/winston_churchill_6.html Reduxist 19:43, 21 July 2011 (PDT)

You, my friend, are a genius. Well spotted! Feel free to add it to the page - it's only fair that you get the edit. » Cooper Kid (Blether · Contreebs) 20:04, 21 July 2011 (PDT)

Heh c:

Thanks for your kind laurels on my talk. Esky taught me that word. :3 --SilverHammer 11:34, 15 August 2011 (PDT)

Apology

I am sorry for the revision. I had not known that it was impossible to have a decreaser that was strange, and forgot to check the history before editing. I hope that a edit war doesn't start do to this, and take full responsibility if it does.

Don't worry about it, no harm was done. Just remember, your edits will never be undone without a good reason! » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 18:01, 29 August 2011 (PDT)

Userboxes

You've made some pretty damn good hat-related userboxes, correct? Can you check mine out here? Fyahweather 19:34, 16 September 2011 (PDT)

Now that there is a fine piece 'a work. Are you going to add them to the public userboxes page? » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 04:17, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

Was thinking about it, but how? Fyahweather 07:57, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

First, you need to make a seperate template page for each one, for example: Template:User Bombing Run

Just copy and paste the code for the userbox onto its respective page. Then, to display the box on the public userboxes page, just add the preview code, which in this example would be

{{Userbox_preview|UIB=User Bombing Run}}

Simple as that. This makes it easier to display the boxes on your own page too. Instead of having the whole code, you can just use the template:

{{User Bombing Run}}

One minor thing first though; a couple of your boxes are slightly taller than they should be, which will look messy if you make them public. It's just the pictures making that happen, you might be better using images just showing the hats rather than the whole Scout. It's kind of annoying that they have to be so small, I've had issues there too. You should also try to keep the font size the same as the other userboxes - though this isn't quite as important and a few do have slightly bigger text. » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 08:19, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

Huh, I thought all of mine were the same size. Alright then, thanks! Fyahweather 09:20, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

Say, Cooper, how about an alliance? It's going to take me some time to finish these userboxes at my rate, so could you give me a hand? You know, you could just do Demoman and Sniper hats or something, while I would take Soldier and Engineer hats. Fyahweather 09:38, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

I've already done a few hats and stuff, they're right this way. As it is I'm kind of out of inspiration for any more, but maybe I'll have another go at some tonight. But I don't think it's necessary to just "do" every hat - userboxes don't exactly add much to the Wiki and they're not worth spending too much time on. » Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 10:57, 17 September 2011 (PDT)

I'm watching you =P Thanks a lot! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 14:37, 24 September 2011 (PDT)

Your template category

Is it meant to be that this template adds people to "idiots" category as it does now? -- Keisari 06:00, 2 October 2011 (PDT)

Indeed it is not. Thanks for pointing it out, I've fixed it now! » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 08:43, 2 October 2011 (PDT)
