Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest starting someplace like this to find a picture you like. Make sure it is licensed properly for use on WP (Either GNU Free Documentation License or Creative Commons). Then just go to my user page find the tiger section and add "Image:Name of Image.jpg| signature". If you need further assistance let me know.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Your comments on various editors talk pages
While it is hoped that the project is a pleasant place to contribute to I would note that we are writing an encyclopedia. Please could you direct your future comments to matters regarding the project; they can still be friendly but more focussed on the work. Thanks.

Regarding your edits to Talk:Hermit Crab; Wikipedia is not a chat room. Article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article; nothing more. If you continue to use Wikipedia as a chat site, you will be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamieTalk21:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yous asked what tag to use for a picture. What kind of picture is it? Who owns the copyright on it? (If it is a photo, for example, the owner is probably the photographer.) Has the owner released it under a license which allows reuse by anyone for anything? If so, which license? If not, we probably can’t use the picture. —teb728tc18:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your message on my talk page, but I was just wondering what you were referring to? I assume it's a message I've left somewhere in Wikipedia that I've added an xD emoticon to...? :) londonsista | Prod00:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To make your own template, all you have to do is just put something like this: {{yourusersubpagenamegoeshere}} If you're wondering about the html, I'm a bit rusty on that so I'll have to study my own first :) Midorihanaみどりはな06:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Garrett Morgan did not only invent the traffic signal. He invented the gas mask and also some hair dye and other things. These are just the popular things he invented. He is probably a great man because he saved lives of workers during an explosion in an underground mine. Blacky98 (talk) 23:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's a 100% fabricated lie that Garrett Morgan invented the traffic signal. Do some research. Checking the documents, this myth was invented in the 1970s by the U.S. Dept of Education as a way to promote feel-good stories about African-American "heroes." However, checking the actual, real evidence, it's clear that Garrett Morgan's traffic signal device was NOT first, NOT the first to be patented, and NOT the device that led to the modern traffic light. In fact, it was more like a railroad-crossing device. It's a shame that people are still judging others by the color of their skin, rather than by what they really did.Ryoung12201:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
