Although I unfortunately don't have time to give any one-on-one tutorials, I highly suggest that you simply play around with {{userbox}} (maybe in User:Jabberwockgee/Sandbox) and learn through experimentation. For example, these were two custom userboxes I made from my user page:

Sexually-confused vandals think that this user is a closeted homosexual, but this user just laughs because the poor vandals are simply in denial.

This user believes edit counts mean nothing and instead gauges the numerousness of his edits by comparing how pale his skin is to how tanned it should be.

Simply edit the section, and play around with some of the values to see how doing so affects the way the template appears in "Show preview" mode. =) --slakr^{\ [[User talk:Slakr|talk]] /} 10:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GORGEOUS PAGE LUV I was considering improving the gay literature articles. How would you best suggest moving forward on this pressing issue. unsigned comment added by William_Avery (talk

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know if you saw my comments but I'm not sure about your use of hidden (collapsed) content. I've only seen it used for templates and many of those are shown by default. Think of readers who only use wikipedia occasionally, they will expect to see the content not have it hidden and require them to choose to show it. If other articles are hiding the Soundtrack or similiar sections as you have done the please give examples otherwise the article on Adventureland (film) should do the same as most film articles and keep the content shown. -- Horkana (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adventureland (film). I don't place much stock in Featured Articles (too many deletionists and people fighting over a tiny corner) but you make a fair point, most articles don't bother including this information, although if someone were to split the soundtrack into a separate article I think they probably would. Including the extra tracks but hiding them is nearly as bad as deleting. If you do decide to delete it and instead explain the bit about there being many more tracks than appear on the soundtrack album (that very specific number "41" needs to be backed by a citation though) and provide a good link to another site that lists them all then I suppose that would be good enough (I prefer the more complete approach but I'll settle for good enough). -- Horkana (talk) 15:54, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have yet to receive a response from User:Skomorokh. Did you come upon this disagreement by looking at the Ayn Rand talk page? I consider the dispute over there to be ongoing. JEN9841 (talk) 05:28, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jabberwockgee! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 329 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hi. When you recently edited Garret Dillahunt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deadwood (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
