It is much better now that I have access to the interweb. I missed you guys ^_^ How has Belgium been? --^Dame 00:26, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

At least you still have good beer. --^Dame 01:18, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

belgium does beer? i thought its main exports were chocolate and french/dutch conflicts. --nachlader 02:42, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

You'd better believe Belgium does beer! Why, they just purchased Budweiser. pillow talk 17:06, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

wb btw sonje. i presume you saw the world cup? --nachlader 02:43, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Great to see you back Sonje! --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 06:48, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Mornin' lass. How you been? --UU - natter 08:10, Aug 4

Hello everybody!! Ah, I did miss you all so very much! I've been well thanx, World Cup was awesome! Expected to see more violent tragedies but hey ho. Anyway, does anyone need any chops, I'm a bit rusty but I'm all nostalgic now. --^Dame 14:27, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

You know where to find the requests - if Meep hasn't dealt with them all! Did you have anything to do with any vuvuzelas at any time in the last couple of months? --UU - natter 14:32, Aug 4

I have a vuvuzela yes, but I have only used it in the standard way... nothing controversial or anything O_o --^Dame 14:52, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't suggesting you had. Your mind works in some strange ways, young lady. Mind you, using it the standard way is bad enough. I think I'll go ban... oh, let's say Socky as punishment. Let that be a lesson to you! --UU - natter 14:56, Aug 4

Yeah. That. --UU - natter 15:26, Aug 4

Actually, you say "anyone want any chops?" Yeah, I'd like one please... I'm writing something with Mordillo, so it doesn't have to be any time soon (we tend to take our time on collabs), but it's UnBooks:Conversations With My Father. I'd like a book cover please, with that title, and one father with a patronising idiot grin on his face and an annoyed-looking baby boy - the idea is that the kid is getting annoyed with his father misunderstanding every noise he makes. If you feel this is the thing to ease you back in, I'd esteem it a service. If not, I'll try to hack something together myself eventually, although it won't be as good. ;-) --UU - natter 09:51, Aug 6

Image request

Hey Sonje. I've got a request for you involving a recently salvaged article, 28 Gays Later. Aleister saved it from VFD, and I was wondering if you would mind 'chopping the leadoff image:

If you could turn "D" into "G", and give the image a general air of fruitiness, that'd be great. Cheers! Saberwolf116 21:16, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing. As this version already has that I am assuming you would prefer a bit higher rez. And perhaps we can make the background graphic a bit gay-er. -^Dame 21:52, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

How's this? --^Dame 00:01, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, girl, das FABULOUS! <3 Saberwolf116 01:32, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hello Sonje!

Thanks so much for steppin in - hope I don't make you regret it. You do wonderful, wonderful pictures! How do you DO that?! How long do I have to be here before I can have one, please? But first things first: The partial 'scribble cube' thing in my article- I'd really like to get rid of that (don't know how) but I think I know why it's incomplete, I was trying to get a picture in that wasn't on that jpg. thingy list. I think it was a bpmp. or something. What I'd really like to do is get the Image:Flagon picture in (it is a jpg.) I've looked around lots of places and written down what different people have said to do, I do it, but it doesn't work. I'm obviously leaving out some vital step. Apologies for being such an irritatingly complete beginner, I am operating on such a low level of know-nothing, you'd probably find it hard to believe. Your help is very much appreciated, I want to do this so much.--Ohnogodnotagain 12:45, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, I was pretty confused when I started out here too. Still am most of the time :P I'll try to explain to you and just lemme know if there is a bit you still don't understand. I'm not exactly an expert but I'll give it my best shot.

Basically when you upload an image to uncyclopedia, it kind of gets its own page and when you want the image to show in your article you have to link to that page. So after you upload a pic, your browser will go to your pic's new page and at the top left you will see your image's name (the name you need to use to make your article link to it. You have to use the whole name, including the extention.

You can use any extention - jpg, bmp, gif, png. It doesnt matter, as long as the whole name of the image is listed in your article accurately (ie - Flagon.jpg NOT just Flagon}

To put an image in your article you need to do the following:

Follow the basic template of [[Image:<imagename>|<align>|thumb|<size>px|caption]]. <imagename> is the name of the image you want to include, including its extension, <align> is where you want the picture to be aligned (left, right, that sort of thing), <size> is how big you want the picture to be in pixels, and is the caption you want to add to it.

So if we apply that to the picture you have been trying to use:

"File:Flagon.jpg|200px|thumb|scribble cube" (thumbs automatically align right so you only have to specify alignment if you want it somewhere else on the page)

Your <imagename> is Flagon.jpg

The <size> will be 200px

And the will be "scribble cube"

So if you want another caption just replace the bit that says "scribble cube".

Have I confused you even more or is it becoming clearer? --^Dame 14:30, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

UnReviews logo

That looks excellent! Thank you very much, now the logo doesn't have a gaping nothing in the middle of it. -- SirSf13 (Talk) CUN RotM FBotM VFH SK Maj. ΥΣΣ 13:07 EST 9 Aug, 2010

No problem. Let me know if you need any other images. -^Dame 17:16, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

actually, I need something to go on the UnReview template once I get around to making it. Something a little like the HowTo template is what I had in mind. At any rate, I was thinking an image incorporating a fountain pen and an inkblot (maybe a page or piece of paper too) would do nicely. -- SirSf13 (Talk) CUN RotM FBotM VFH SK Maj. ΥΣΣ 15:18 EST 9 Aug, 2010

Ooh, a template! The "How To" one is the one with the monkey rite? If so, I suggest something basic cause it's very small so it shouldn't be too busy. I'll see what I can throw together. --^Dame 20:24, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! -- SirSf13 (Talk) CUN RotM FBotM VFH SK Maj. ΥΣΣ 18:47 EST 9 Aug, 2010

Oh Dear

Stupid woman still struggling, Sonje... I do understand what you said, but I think I'm failing in two areas (but there may be more):

1) I don't know how to access my pictures. I see the special page they're given (like you said) directly after they're downloaded; but can't find the special page where they are again (hence the multiple piccies every time I try again)

2)I understand that I must link the syntax in my article with the page with the picture on, but don't know how.

Say you're in my article, have pressed 'edit', typed in [[Image:Flagon.jpg/thumb/200px/Flagon that (allegedly) felled Robert Fairfax]] - what exactly would you do next, please? Thank you so much

Oo, and there's a strange thing - look, it's turned red and lost all it's brackets! It does that in my article. Why does it do that?--Ohnogodnotagain 05:27, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, firstly to access your pictures, look in the left column, towords the bottom there is a section called "toolbox" and in that is a link called "user contributions". That link will take you to the special page that shows all the contributions you've made to Ucyc, which can be a lot. So to filter them just use the box at the top called "namespace" and set it to "File" instead of "All".

Next - the reason you're pictures aren't working is because you are using the wrong dividers:

You typed - Image:Flagon.jpg/thumb/200px/Flagon that (allegedly) felled Robert Fairfax

Instead of Image:Flagon.jpg|thumb|200px|Flagon that (allegedly) felled Robert Fairfax

It's not supposed to be a forward slash, you can find the solid line thingy on your keyboard by pressing SHIFT + BACKSLASH.

I think, I'm in South Africa our keyboards are different sometimes. Just look for it though, its gotta be there somewhere.

Now if I put brackets around your pic detials:

Et voila!
It's so beautiful... Don Puttano cHeDDs 12:00,10August,2010
Er...I'm trying to teach here, Please ignore the Cheesy one's interuption, he gets turned on by his own name. --^Dame 12:09, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Also, please note how all the crap Cheddar and I wrote stayed in the caption area of the pic because we entered it between the divider <|> and the final brackets. --^Dame 12:09, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

YES, YES, YES, GODDAMMIT, YEEEESSS! What can I say? Many, many, grateful noobie thanks, Sonje! x --Ohnogodnotagain 16:40, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Glad to be of service. Let me know if you need help with anyting else and if you have an image request I'd be happy to help with that too. Uncyc also has a lovely Image Request service that you can use as well. Good luck with the article. --^Dame 17:16, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

A cake for you, Sonje x

--Ohnogodnotagain 17:49, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, yum, thanks! --^Dame 23:47, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Oh!

Sonje - my badge.... I got a badge! It's my very first one. You did it, really, though and shall be accorded the proper credit. Very many humble noobie thanks. Can I put it on my user page? If so, how do I do that, please? The article is almost finished and I've asked for a Pee Review from Black Flamingo, as advised by the Chief. Hope he's gentle with me! --Ohnogodnotagain 06:52, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

You deserved it. If you want to place it on your userpage, just copy it from your talkpage and paste it onto your userpage. A ninjastar is a template so you only have to copy the template itself, meaning the brackets and everything inbetween. Your userpage is yours to decorate however you want. Have a look at some userpages that you like and adapt it to your own. You could get some userboxes to make it pretty. Messing around with your userpage can be useful for learning how things work around here. Again, I'm here if you need some help. --^Dame 11:09, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think You know everything about everything. Thanks so much for your support, I truly value it. I'll go and have a try now.--Ohnogodnotagain 11:40, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Stuck!

Again! Please help! I'm trying to mess around with my userpage like you said, and clicked into the lovely 'userboxes' link you left me (thank you) for the empty black and white template one, but I can't get it to stick to my page, I tried copy and pasting everything, but I'm up the creek again......how do I do it please Sonje? Thank you x--Ohnogodnotagain 12:22, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Don't panic, you'll get it eventually. Userboxes are templates, like the one Chief already gave you and like the ninjastar. So depending on the one you pick it will be the name of the userbox between the squiggly brackets. Tell me the name of the userbox you want and I will try to figure out what's going wrong. -^Dame 12:33, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'd kinda like to make my own; I was trying to copy and paste

{{Userbox Template}} and thought I could replace the text and piccie with my own, but if that's too ambitious, I do like the {{User shiny}} one! Thanks, Sonje--Ohnogodnotagain 14:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, whaddaya know! I copied it! Oh, I see, I have to include the {{ brackets, don't I? This IS a journey of self-discovery, ha ha. What's the grey thingy box then? Did I do that? --Ohnogodnotagain 14:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think the grey bit is cause user boxes mid-dialogue are bad. Let us not get sidetracked. Your own userbox is not that ambitious but a bit trickier. You have to make a page for your template and then link to it on your userpage. Explain to me what you want it to look like and we can see if it is possible. Oh lawdy, soon you'll be wanting a custom sig too. -^Dame 14:15, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

OOOO... custom sig - yummy! But for now, I'd just be happy to have a template with a picture of a badge, and the text 'This user is a Badge Whore and will do anything for a BADGE' Is that possible, please?--Ohnogodnotagain 14:22, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I created a page User:Ohnogodnotagain/Template:Badge Whore, so its your very own template. Now you can put this on your userpage:

--^Dame 14:31, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that's just.....beautiful! How do you DO that? You're so clever! Thank you sooooooo much, lovely Sonje. Wow, all your quality BADGES! and you put my cake in too. Enjoy! x--Ohnogodnotagain 14:49, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh I'm not really clever at all, the trick is stealing the stuff other clever users have made and just editing it to make it your own. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. You should also consider becoming more involved in stuff round the wiki like voting on VFH. That way you can see what the other folk round here are writing and one day one of your own articles may be considered for a feature which will get you very pretty badges. You'll soon discover that we vote on pretty much everything round here. --^Dame 16:28, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Little Piccies, Big Piccies

Morning, Sonje! Hello again - I wonder if you would kindly bend your expertise in my direction once more please? I'm trying to get bigger pictures into my article, the existing ones are too small. I've got one (it's entitled Field of Cloth of Gold) in the article, it says it's 918 x 678, it was absolutely massive in google images but when it's in my article it just stays tiny. I've put 900px in the [[ ]] thingy box but it won't go any bigger. Could you tell what I'm doing wrong, please? When you have a minute, I know how busy you are. Thank you! (10:35 28/09/2010) (userohnogod--notagaintalk)

Hi Ongna :) Soz for the delay in respone, I was elsewhere. I see a bunch of the files you recently uploaded are very small. Could you give me a link to one of the pics you want to use. From google images not the ones you've already uploaded. I think that you are saving the files wrong before you upload cause the resolution is tiny. But I'll be able to explain better with a link. --^Dame 13:12, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
