"Thank you for your help undoing vandalism"
== Thank you very much! ==
[[Image:Information.svg|left|25px]] Thank you for your help undoing the vandalism in the [[Pagename]] article. Unfortunately, when the vandalism is only "undone", other information is sometimes lost. So it helps to know how to [[Help:Page history|check the history]] of an article and to learn how to [[Help:Reverting|revert]] the vandalism in a way that information isn't lost. Thank you so much for your efforts to help improve this encyclopedia, and Welcome to Wikipedia! ~~~~

Left66 template

Ref.: Template:Left66

If you ever see a template on the right of a page, and the text doesn't wrap around it leaving a huge gap, and title underlines may go through the template, you can use one of the following templates to wrap the text to the left of the template (but pay a little attention to your web browser's "text size" setting)...

{{left60}} or {{left66}}

then you can end the wrap with...

{{left60|end=1}} or {{left66|end=1}}

Cquote

Doncha jus' LOVE the "cquote"?...

Unfortunately it is Wikipedia policy that cquotes only be used with pull quotes. Darn. Well, those quotes aren't supposed to be in italics, either. There is one good thing about the Quote template, though...

These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

— Thomas Paine, The Crisis

So it appears that the regular ol' "Quote" template does have some benefits: Piping and paragraphing. And lest we forget!... One NEVER uses quotation marks (") to surround these kinds of quote formats!

Then theres the "Cquotetxt" template...

These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.– Thomas Paine, The Crisis

Kinda screwed up on that last quotation mark, but still very sigh worthy!

Lead for Will to power

New lead for Will to power article:
The will to power (German: "der Wille zur Macht") is a prominent concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. The will to power describes what Nietzsche believed to be the main driving force in man; achievement, ambition, the striving to reach the highest possible position in life, these are all manifestations of the will to power.

Alfred Adler incorporated the will to power into his individual psychology. This can be contrasted to the other Viennese schools of psychotherapy: Sigmund Freud's pleasure principle (will to pleasure) and Victor Frankl's logotherapy (will to meaning). Each of these schools advocate and teach a very different main driving force in man. The will to power can be found in nature in the dominance hierarchies studied in many living species.

User:Paine_Ellsworth/Sandbox2– (Later, with consensus, I moved this page to Usenet celebrity).

Effort to rename Shirley Temple

User:Paine_Ellsworth/Sandbox3– result: No consensus to move page; however, a major technical problem was resolved: The cats (categories) at the bottom of the Shirley Temple article listed her name under the T's as "Shirley Temple". This was a problem because several of the cats were for her adult notability. Her name should be listed in, for example, the "Female diplomats" category under the B's as "Shirley Temple Black", not under the T's as "Shirley Temple".

If one tried merely to oppose the DEFAULTSORT and install her full name within the cat template, this placed her name under the B's in the category, but due to the fact that the listing in the category was still governed by the PAGENAME of the article the category is in, the listing would still appear as just "Shirley Temple". So it turns out that there are only two ways to get her full name, Shirley Temple Black, fully and completely into the cats under the B's. Either one must move (completely move, not just copy) the appropriate cats to the Shirley Temple Black Redirect page, or one must rename the Shirley Temple article to Shirley Temple Black. After the debate, it was decided that the latter was not an option at that time, and the former choice, moving cats to the Redirect page, would be the way to go.
So just as long as no cat appears on both pages at the same time (this would cause her to be listed twice in that cat, which is unacceptable), this is a viable resolution to the technical problem. The appropriate cats are now listed on the Redirect page, and her name appears in those cats under the B's as Shirley Temple Black (italicized because it's a Redirect page).

Strikethrough

In real life, what has been said cannot be "unsaid", however at those times when I wish to "take back" something I've said, and be realistic about it, I use the html <del> tag, like this...

<del>I know I've already said this, and there's really no way to undo it, but I'd like to take it back.</del>

That's called a strikethrough
