Great Job!

Hi User:MercuryLover2008. Great work on the Mercury vehicle line-up. You definitely know a lot about their cars! To help other members of the Wikicars' community get to know a little bit more about you, we ask that you share a little bit about yourself on your user page. Out of curiosity, what is it about Mercurys that's made you such a fan? Do you or have you owned one? Are you involved in the auto industry? Thanks again and welcome. Happy Wiki'ing! =) -Nidhi 11:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I Apologize

I apologize that was a bad mistake I'll try not to do that again. ---The comment the user created was made by MercuryLover2008 (talk - contribs).

Image use

Hello, MercuryLover2008, I have some concerns to share with you. I, and all other staff here at Wikicars are greatful for your contributions, but you need to learn how to properly post images on an article. I am speaking with great agitation, when I say it is very annoying. When you post an image on an article, please don't just place it there. Here is a sample of a proper image link : [[ImageMercury Sable.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]. Please pay attention to this. First of all, when placing an image on a page, either right align it or left align it. Second, please thumbnail your images (As per ‘thumb’ in the link) and last of all please size your images (The most often used sizes being bewteen: 200px - 350px). One last thing of note, if using many images for a section or car, create a gallery using <gallery> at the beginning with the images placed like this inbetween: Image:Mercury Sable.jpg and using </gallery> at the end. -- Enzo Worshipper ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 19:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for cleaning up those pages, now one more thing, please do not place the Mercury logo atop articles. I personally think having the logo up there is very annoying, and that is something we do not do here. Thank you. -- Enzo Worshipper ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 23:30, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Your Welcome

I am new to Wikicars so I did not know about the pictures very well i apologize and I will remove the Mercury Logo from the pages.

                                   Sorry For the Inconvenience.

Bureaucrat Position

I would like to put forward my nomination for Bureaucrat Status. Besides being the most frequent contributor on this website, I am working on projects such as establishing an Anti-Spam bureau, and further renovation of our pages that I feel would require these Bureaucratic powers.

Spam Police

...Speaking of which, I would also like to officially announce the formation of the Spam Police program. Basically, a spam police is obligated to perform RC patrols everytime, he/she logs in. The point is a more organized way of dealing with these pests. There are two units to join into, Admin-Sysops, being that they hold more power, join the "Officer" Ranks, while members obtain "Deputy" status and will only be obligated to report such breach. I am planning to change this situation, though, if and when I recieve "Bureaucrat" status by granting members the power to block IP addresses and seize and protect "spam hotspots". For further information and to sign up, go to Wikicars' Anti-Spam HQ.

NEW INFOBOX SYSTEM

I have recently discovered how to format our infobox in similar fashion to Wikipedia's Master Template System whereby a we will no longer have to replicate the infobox again and again for each individual page. What will happen instead is that from this point on there will be a set of codes similar to the ones below that will act as a "surrogate" and where you will be filling out the basic information. It will replicate the "master template" on thepage but with the individual information you've written filled out on it. What this allows for is that if and when we finally decide to change the design/update the infobox we will no longer have to manually alter each infobox from page to page.

{{Infobox |
|Image = place image here in 300 pixels
|Marque = place marque here - not manufacturer
|aka = Type aka here, not up there
|Production = produced from when to when+total units made (optional)</nowiki>
|Class = denote market class
|Body Style = how many doors+how many seats+what type of body
|Length = length - type here
|Width = Width - type here
|Height = Height - type here
|Wheelbase = wheelbase - type here
|Weight = Weight - you get the point
|Transmission = transmission + drive
|Engine = engine
|Power = N/A hp @ N/A rpm<br>N/A lb-ft of [[torque]] @ N/A rpm
|Similar = similar (competition)
|Designer = Designer (lead designer if it was a team effort)
}}

IP Block

What?! That was your IP?! Well, to explain the situation, I caught your IP deleting an entire section from the Nissan Z article. But of course you can still contribute via your account? Enzo Worshipper ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 13:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Image Categorization

I am cracking down. We really need to get the sites store of images organized, and you uploading an image without categorization is of no help. Please remember to categorize any future images you may upload. Cheers. Enzo Worshipper ^{(Talk to me + Contribs)} 20:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Like the new featured article?

Thought you might. I noticed a Mercury hasn't been featured yet, and what better choice than the Mountaineer, eh? Pepperpop11 19:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Images

All right! You're getting on my nerves! When uploading images, categorize or don't upload them at all. I have already left you a message, but seeing as you seem to have ignored it, its only fitting to post another. You have been warned. If you don't start categorizing soon, punishment will ensue.
