• Austin, Texas

• Greater Austin

• Round Rock, Texas

• Antlers Hotel

• Georgetown,Texas

• Williamson County, Texas

• Community Impact Newspaper

2) Developing and maintaining several articles on "alternative Wiki" sites

because they were otherwise deemed not notable enough for Wikipedia.

Just ask if you'd like to see them and I will give you the url

At least one is being extensively re-edited from scratch, with a neutral point of view,

for possible re-submittal to Wikipedia.

3) Experimenting with creating new userboxes and other items on Wikipedia in the sandbox

4) Experimenting with text boxes with varying background colors

You just fill in the blanks and it generates a relatively decent fully formatted citation.

• Or feel free to copy and paste the following citation formats into your article and then fill in the blanks:

• WEB CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite web |url= |title= |author= |date= |work= |publisher= |accessdate= }}</ref>

• NEWS CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite news |title= |first= | last= |coauthors= |newspaper= |date= |url= |accessdate= }}</ref>

• BOOK CITATION: . . . <ref>{{cite book |title= |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages= |url= |ISBN= |accessdate= }}</ref>

(Note: On books the ISBN number is important but can use either the 10 or 13 digit ISBN number)

• CITE JOURNAL: . . .<ref>{{Cite journal| last= | first = | authorlink= | coauthors= | title= | journal = | volume= | issue= | pages= | publisher= | location= | date= | url= | issn= | doi= | id= | accessdate = }}</ref>

For more examples of citation templates from Wikipedia go HERE

• User:Austex/Special Page/Article_Texts is used to place full articles or portions of articles that are only available through paid archive subscriptions. In such cases the actual text is transposed to this page.

.

• To simplify, hit edit and then copy the code below and insert your color # (don't forget to use the # sign before the actual color number):

Bold colored text #800080 goes here

• Here is how the code actually looks in edit format:

<span style="color:#800080">''' Bold colored text #800080 goes here''' </span>

Translates as: Bold colored text #800080 goes here

• For a complete list of all available colors you can use click: HERE

• For my own editorial remarks I use "North Texas Green" color #059033

I copy this code: ' text here '

• For large type use {{{ 1 }}} with <span style="font-size:large">{{{ 1 }}}</span>

• Formatting Cheatsheet

• For carriage returns and spacing, use: <br> for line break; or <\nl> for new line; or {{pad|4em}} where the number is an amount of length in px.

• Code for creating a box (change color code #FFAD2 for a different background color):

{{-}}<div align="center"> {| style="border-bottom: black 1px solid; text-align: center; border-left: black 1px solid; background-color: #d8ffd8 ; border-top: black 1px solid; border-right: black 1px solid" class="FCK__ShowTableBorders" width="30%" |- ! Text goes here, this background color is #D8FFD8, and the box size is 30% wide. |} </div> :::Translates as:
