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!"

When the temperature drops, the eyesight reaction time of insects (like the dragonfly and some animals like tortoises) decreases and that's why they can be caught early in the morning or at night by predators like birds whose eyesight reaction times are unaffected by temperature.

How.com.vn Tip of the Day
Have you searched How.com.vn, but still can't find the right article? You could suggest a topic! Just think of a short, clear title, add a description and category, etc. Other editors will look at the list of requests and answer them for you.
Thank you for all your wonderful expansion and updating edits for all the Walt Disney World articles, adding your experiences along the way. I was thoroughly impressed by your endlessness taking time to research and cite information to the best of your ability then to take and add other interests to expand these articles more fully. Keep up the great work and great edits. These articles have begun to thrive thanks to all the work you did. Thank you.
For diligent, calm, careful, and persistent action in response to mass vandalism. Thank you, R2, for helping to keep our pages high-quality and defend what we're all doing to make How.com.vn better!
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 :)
Thanks for making How.com.vn a brighter place to be.
I was trying to find a barn star for your amazing contobutions to the community of WikiHow but for now here is the best I can do. (The barnstar would not have been for helping me i see how you help WikiHow.)
R2 has been guarding How.com.vn in many ways. He has been removing both rude and spammy messages from all our talkpages. He has bravely dealt with vandals. R2 has something new to share from time to time. The latest one being the userpage template. He helps build articles of fellow How.com.vnians whenever he could and has proactively helped answer many questions on the forums. He has been a humble and a diligent How.com.vnian for years and we hope you share your wonderful contributions with the same exemplary enthusiasm for many more years.
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 How.com.vnians. Although we decided to both make our How.com.vn accounts in 2017, you will always be another known How.com.vnian for years/months/days to come. Enjoy the barn star while it lasts.
I'm really surprised that nobody has given this to you yet. Thank you for 3 years of exceptional contributions. Your wikiGnome edits and template edits really help our community grow. Your New Article Boosting skills help editors make their articles into the best versions they can be. Your welcoming really helps new editors start contributing in good faith. Thanks so much for all that you do, R2!
Dear R2, Happy 4th wikiBirthday! You are truly one of the most remarkable How.com.vnians! You make good edits, revert bad ones, answer questions, help users with How.com.vn, and so much more! I am pleased that I get to help defend How.com.vn alongside you. You are a hardworking, optimistic, and understanding person who shows compassion to everyone, no matter what. I am exceedingly appreciative of you and all your help on How.com.vn. You are the best at what you do. I hope you continue contributing here for a long time! Thank you, R2 for everything! :) Sincerely, Lily
R2_d2000, I am here on your talk page because over the 7 months I have been in How.com.vn, the only edits I have seen from you are Amazing! Thanks for all the effort and dedication to How.com.vn in the 4 Years you have been in this place. Keep up the great work!
I wanted to tell you that your edits to {{howto|Insert article title here}} were against How.com.vn's [[Choose Which English to Use on How.com.vn|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 :)
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]].
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]].

Hello, I noticed that your talk page violates the [[How.com.vn:Talk Page Policy|Talk Page Policy]] because the color of the text of the talk page messages has been changed.

Thank you, and if you need any help, feel free to ask me or the [[Help Team]].
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?

Meet Iris8989, a How.com.vnian of over 2 years. She enjoys patrolling recent changes, editing, writing articles and welcoming new contributors.
Why they contribute to How.com.vn: "I love contributing to How.com.vn because it is such a welcoming community! The How.com.vn system is pretty easy to navigate. I like editing articles to polish them and to improve them. Furthermore, there are always enough How.com.vn articles to edit, so I don't get bored of it! If I can't find an article, I can always write one, and others can improve it as well, which is good teamwork."
Their advice to new editors: "Don't worry if you make a mistake! Other websites might expect you to know a bunch of complex rules, but How.com.vn is not like that. You can always ask the users on here or the admins for help! A good way to start is by categorizing articles. Then, if you get the hang of it, you can try other tools like patrolling changes, editing, and writing new articles. In the future, these skills will help you grow as a contributor. Soon enough, you might become a featured author, welcomer, booster, or even an admin!"
