Forty-two percent of all teens have tried smoking marijuana.

If you have not, add {{Important}} to your user page.
Attention:

A black man walked into a caf­è early one morning and noticed he was the only African American there. As he sat down he noticed a white man sitting behind him. The white man tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Colored people aren't allowed in here."

The black man replied, "When I was born I was black, when I'm sick I'm black, when I go in the sun I'm black, when I'm cold I'm black, when I die I'll be black, but you sir... when you were born you were pink, when you are sick you are green, when you stay in the sun you are red, when you are cold you turn blue, and when you die you turn purple! And yet you have the nerve to call me colored!"

Put {{Noracists}} on your User Page if you are against racism.
Drug-Free Message:

Teenagers are twice as likely to abuse drugs as adults. If you think that this is the kind of behavior that influences stereotypes about teens and that this should be stopped, put {{Drug Free}} on your User Page.

Another big thanks for all the solid bug reports - funneled the search one right though to the team, so hopefully we can get that addressed even sooner! But you’ve noticed tons of important stuff and I wanted to say that our CEO Elizabeth and we all super appreciate it. She said to say thanks to you specifically :)

Hi R2, even though I don’t give barnstars to everyone, you were deserving for my selection. (I’m also late, but happy 3 years!)

Dear R2, your patrolling around our site fascinates me. Throughout every time, I see you know how to clear the patrol log for everyone (and me) with your knowledge on Traditional Patrolling. Alongside this, you were the last receiver to get 1st place in patrolling before I took your spot, 2 months ago! It seems like you were always the person who also works behind the scenes to work on inuse articles and broken templates, and that’s another way to impress wikiHowians. Although we decided to both make our wikiHow accounts in 2017, you will always be another known wikiHowian for years/months/days to come. Enjoy the barn star while it lasts.

My Coaching Messages

These are messages that aren't templates, but I find useful.

  1. For users that violate the English Language Policy.
    • I wanted to tell you that your edits to {{howto|Insert article title here}} were against wikiHow's [[Choose Which English to Use on wikiHow|English Language Policy]]. Don't worry! I just wanted to inform you. You can't change the style of English of an article unless the majority of an article is written in a specific type of English. Let me know if you'd like to talk about it. Just a friendly reminder :)
  1. For when an inuse tag is removed.
    • Hi, I wanted to let you know that I removed your {{temp|inuse}} tag from {{howto|(insert article title here)}} because you didn't respond to a previous notification regarding the {{temp|inuse}} tag on it.<br><br>

      If you aren't done yet, then feel free to re-add it. And please make sure to respond to future messages, or update the date on the tag. {{temp|inuse}} tags are liable to be removed if you don't respond to messages regarding them within five days.<br><br>

      If you have any questions, then feel free to ask me or the [[Help Team]].
  1. For when someone adds a space in a category or image tag:
    • Hello, I wanted to let you know that Category and Image tags (the things that look like <nowiki>[[Category:CATEGORY NAME]] and [[Image:IMAGE NAME|center]]</nowiki>) don't need a space in them after the colon. It can actually cause the article to be removed from that category, or the image to not display, because the software is very picky about spaces in category and image tags. Don't worry, I've gone through and fixed them, I just wanted to let you know for future reference. If hope this makes sense, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or the [[Help Team]].
  1. For when someone says that they want to commit suicide (original template by Eric):
    • Please see {{howto|Avoid Committing Suicide}} for help:

      If you are having suicidal thoughts or feelings, you should seek immediate assistance, preferably from a mental health professional. Whatever the source of your feelings, they can be dealt with appropriately, and things can get better. You're already taking the first step towards healing by reading this for help. The next step is to find a person to help you.
      *If you are in the US, you can call 911 for emergency or reach a suicide hotline by calling 800-SUICIDE (800-784-2433) or 800-273-TALK (800-273-8255).<ref>http://www.webmd.com/depression/guide/depression-recognizing-signs-of-suicide</ref>
      * In many cities, dialing 211 will get you to someone you can talk to. 2-1-1 is a free and confidential service that helps people across North America find the local resources they need. They're here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<ref>http://www.211.org</ref>
      * The Crisis Text Line 741741 is an alternative to phone hotlines and works 24/7.
      *If you are in the UK, call 999 for emergency or 08457 90 90 90 to reach a suicide hotline.
      *In other countries, take a look at [[Call Emergency Services]] to find appropriate numbers.

      <references></references>
  1. For when someone breaks an article link:

    • Hello, thanks for editing here. I wanted to ask you to please be careful when editing article links (<nowiki>which are the things [[inside double brackets]]). Even if you are fixing a grammar error, you could break the link. Thank you.</nowiki>
  1. For issues on use pages on user pages:

See this page.

  1. For talk pages that violate the Talk Page Policy:

    • Hello, I noticed that your talk page violates the [[wikiHow:Talk Page Policy|Talk Page Policy]] because the color of the text of the talk page messages has been changed. Could you please change the color of the messages back to black. Otherwise, your talk page design may be modified or deleted. Thank you, and if you need any help, feel free to ask me or the [[Help Team]].
  2. Or replace the second part of the first sentence and the second sentence with these for different violations:
    • because the messages are being obscured by your page design. Could you please change your design so that the messages are not obscured.
    • because your boarder size excess 1.5em, or it is not being measured in em. This can result in difficulty when viewing a talk page on a mobile device. Could you please reduce the size of your boarder, or change the border width to use em instead of px?
    • because your floating message is obscuring your messages. Could you please reduce the width of your message, or use the {{temp|Floating Message}} template?
    • because your font is not a regular font. Fancy fonts are not allowed since they are hard to read. Could you please change your font to an easier to read font? The default font is good for this.
    • because you have a rapidly flashing GIF. Rapidly flashing GIFs are not allowed.
  1. For when someone messages a user who has been reported to the ANB:

    • Hello, thanks for helping out with coaching users. But I wanted to let you know that [user] has been reported to the ANB for [reason]. When a user is reported to the ANB, then it's best not to interact with them at all. I understand that you probably did not know, so I just wanted to inform you. I hope that this makes sense. :)
  1. For AI Generated Articles:
    • Hello, thank you for your contributions here. I wanted to let you know that I had to delete your article ([Article Title]), because it appeared to be generated by an artificial intelligence text generation tool. According to our [[wikiHow:AI Policy|AI Policy]], content generated by AI can't be used on wikiHow, since we value the independent research and contributions of human contributors. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me or the [[Help Team]].
  1. For AI Generated Text:
    • Hello! Thanks for editing here. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your contributions because it appeared to be generated by an artificial intelligence text generation tool. According to our AI Policy, content generated by AI can't be used on wikiHow, since we value the independent research and contributions of human contributors. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me or the Help Team. If you would like to contribute, feel free to do so, but please use your own words. Thank you again for your help.
