The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
== Thanks for the warm welcome! ==


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hey HiLo48, I saw that you sent me a welcome message and I just wanted to come and say thank you! I took a brief scroll through your user page and saw that we had a lot of shared interests, at least according to the Honorifics section at the bottom. Hopefully, as I get more involved here, I'll run into you again on some topic relating to Permaculture, Camping, Math, or Religious-Anthro. That being said, from the look of it, your take on prepositions is something I cannot stand for.


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
Thanks again for the welcome message, and Happy (belated for you, at this point) Halloween!


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi, hope you don't mind, but I thought it might be useful to change the title of your very useful Inline messages table to "Inline Citations". I was going to be cheeky enough to edit it myself, but Misplaced Pages won't allow me to do so, because I prefer not to register.

Hi Hi lo
My automatic signature which is in red is SueoftheAntipodes but when I hover my mouse over it it says 'page does not exist'. What does that mean? Perhaps that is the reason nobody replies to my questions about revising the page on Nick Kyrgios? It is in need of major changes and edits but no volunteers seems to be willing to do anything or discuss anything. How do I make my page exist? ! Thanks.] (]) 23:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
:] - The message "page does not exist" simply means that nothing has been written on that page yet. You can easily fix that by writing something there yourself. Typically people start off by writing a sentence or two about the areas they plan to be editing in. Just click on the red link, and go for your life. As for why nobody else has responded to your Kyrgios comments, that's just a result of the fact that we ARE all volunteers. There are no major tennis tournaments on right now, so interest is low, just as in the major media. Sometimes you have to wait a while for more responses. ] (]) 03:32, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
::Hi, I have just received a message telling me that I will be blocked next time I write something about Nick Kyrgios because they can't believe I am not involved. Pity. He has been making some very interesting podcasts in USA for the last four weeks about mental health so I have been putting these in his 'film and tv' page. I had collected material for the racism section (which includes ethnic and other reasons for being discriminated against) but I guess they won't like that either. So It's probably goodbye. Maybe someone else can update the Kyrgios page. It's strange that nobody else seems to want to bother but when I did they get really upset? He's very high profile and wikipedia has to get it right.] (]) 18:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


== Toilet paper revert ==
== ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message ==


I respectfully disagree with removing the specific brand mentions from the ] article. While it's true that some brands may be more prevalent in certain regions, the inclusion of these particular brands is justified for the following reasons:
<div class="ivmbox " style="margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1px solid #AAA; background-color: ivory; padding: 0.5em; display: flex; align-items: center; ">

<div class="ivmbox-image" style="padding-left:1px; padding-right:0.5em; flex: 1 0 40px; max-width: 100px">]</div>
Global Presence: Brands such as Charmin are not confined to one country. They are widely available in North America, including Canada and Mexico. This broad distribution demonstrates their significance in the global market. Both Charmin and Cottonelle toilet paper are widely available in Canada and Mexico. You can find them in both countries' major grocery stores and retail outlets.

Cultural Significance: Some of these brands, like ], have achieved a level of cultural recognition, as evidenced by their dedicated Misplaced Pages article. This indicates a notable impact on popular culture and consumer behavior.

Informative Value: Including specific brands provides readers with concrete examples and can enhance their understanding of the product category. It allows for more detailed comparisons and discussions, particularly when analyzing marketing strategies, packaging design, or consumer preferences.

We risk losing valuable information and context by removing these specific brand mentions. I propose we reinstate the original content, ensuring it remains neutral and avoids undue promotion. If concerns about specificity persist, we could consider a more general approach, such as categorizing brands by region or market share. However, I believe that the current inclusion of specific brands is appropriate and beneficial to the article.

Additionally, I would like to point out that it would have been more productive for the editor to raise their concerns on the article's talk page rather than resorting to a full revert. This would have allowed for a more collaborative and constructive discussion about the content. ] (]) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
