Please refrain from adding nonsense to Misplaced Pages, as you did to ]. It is considered ]. If you would like to experiment, use the ]. <!-- Template:Test2-n (Second level warning) --> ] 15:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I should have been more descriptive. Your edit removed the entire content of the page ]. Since you have retracted your comment on my user talk page, I have removed your comments, no offence. ] 15:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
:And what happened here was I tried to cut-and-paste ] and its talk page to the American spelling before I knew moves should be requested. See below. ] 13:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

== Cut & paste move ==

Mr Random, you manually moved content from ] to the page that employs the US spelling.

Please be advised that "cut & paste moves" are ''not'' the accepted way to move pages. In fact, this messes up the ], and may even make pages non-] compliant. The correct way of doing a move is listing it at ].

I have undone your manual move. Hope you don't mind. Please let me know if you've got any questions. ]&nbsp;|&nbsp;] 08:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:Please aknowledge you have read the above message. You have now repeated the same move, in contradiction to policy, despite my message above. Please be advised that this may be interpreted as ]. ]&nbsp;|&nbsp;] 15:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
:: Actually, when I did that, I hadn't read that message. Sorry. ] 10:52, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I only found your message on ] later. Sorry. I have completed your request for a page move at ]. Please vote there.

The moving process is a bit complicated. I made the same error in my first week on Misplaced Pages (incidentally involving ]). Basically, if you copy & paste text to other articles it mixes up the previous versions of the page, a prerequisite of the GNU Free Documentation License under which Misplaced Pages operates.

''Haemophilia'' is in fact the UK spelling, which is very commonly used apart from in the US. ]&nbsp;|&nbsp;] 18:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has long since agreed to leave Anglo-American spelling differences alone. I use ''hemophilia'' myself; but I agree with this policy. Creating new accounts to discuss a decision will result in their being ignored, and may result in your own account being blocked from editing. Please stop this; it's not even causing as much aggravation as you may suppose. ] 17:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

::: Okay, but your timing was kinda off... I was having problems at the time you wrote that. ] 16:54, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

I've blocked you for twenty-four hours for being a disruptive nuisance with your behavior on ]. When your block expires I hope you'll return and make a useful contribution. ] <sup>]</sup> 21:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

:Who are you calling a disruptive nuisance? I told you, I am not the only one who uses this server! <nowiki>{{unblock}}</nowiki> But I did notice someone doing that... ] 00:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

:: Well the edit history shows the person in question to be logged in with this account, since you seem to be saying this is a shared user account, which is outside the rules I'll extend the block to indefinite. Create your own user account that you and only you use and such confusion will be avoided in the future. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 07:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

::: That's not it at all. Someone else was on this computer (probably the vandal), and then got off so I could use it and log in. And since you say that, I'll tell you that Sparky5333 and Chaoman55 are my sister and brother, respectively.

Just to let you know, I've blocked you for another two days for your obvious sockpuppeteer activity.

::It is just there as an example and does not affect the articles that the template is inserted into. See ] for an example of how it works. &mdash;] 13:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Okay, thanks. Feel free to delete that part of my comment if you wish. ] 18:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:: I'll just strike out the comments. That example will probably be moved or deleted after the templates have been switched. &mdash;] 19:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

==NOTICE from Random to Public==

To anyone reading my user page, please don't block me because of the "Things you shouldn't do around me" part of it. But don't do any of those things on my talk page, please. But seriously... What's there to hate about IE? I see what there is to hate about Firefox... It never works. ] 11:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

== Re:Personal attack ==

What you did could have been considered vandalism. It was irrevelant and out of place.
I'm sorry if I came off harsh, it's just that I deal with a lot of deliberate vandalism everyday. It wasn't meant to be personal. --] 03:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, so what you're saying is that I ''was'' violating a WP policy... No offense taken. ] 11:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

==]==
I noticed that you were asking individual administrators to block users for vandalism. If you believe a user needs to be blocked for vandalism, and they have vandalised after a {{tl|test3}} or {{tl|test4}} warning that was given within the last 24 hours, the correct place to report them is ]. (I'm adding this message because you mentioned that you weren't sure what the proper procedure was.) --] 15:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:I'll tell you what happened. I wanted to set up a redirect to ], but it wouldn't work, so I wanted to delete it, but before I found out how, you put this up here. I would have deleted it myself if I could... Long story short: That wasn't an experiment, that was a failed redirect. ] 16:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

== A short Esperanzial update ==

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on ] as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. . Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace ] and ] and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on ] and last until ]. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before ]. For more details, see ].

:Actually, Firefox may be better (I'm noticing it's a lot faster), but I'm just not used to a complete browser changeover, so I may change my mind in a while... ] 00:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)</s>
::Yup, I changed my mind. You can say good stuff about Firefox, just don't trash IE, okay? I think you can live with that. ] 01:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Help needed with HTML ==

How do I make my web page pick up what browser the viewer is using, and redirect them to another page depending on which one? (this may not be possible, but I know that picking up the browser name is) ] 17:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Notice

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate/Evidence. Please add your evidence by December 11, 2014, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Ks0stm 22:29, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
