== Sources subpage ==

Hi, I'm not quite sure what you mean could you please elaborate? My point in creating the sources subpage, was to have a place where we can all collect sources on this subject. What do you think? --] (]) 15:45, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
*Sinneed seems to suggest that it doesn't belong in mainspace. I have therefore moved it to ] ] ] 15:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello, and Welcome!

Please discuss article edits on the appropriate article talk pages, and be wp:CIVIL. At my sole discretion, posts I feel don't meet these requirements will be either archived, if I value them, or simply deleted, if I do not. If this displeases you, please feel free to post elsewhere. Please see wp:talk for additional guidance.
 I am not an admin. I will never be an admin. I am too loud, too wrong too often, way too politically incorrect, and too amazed by the "kagillion" WP rules. I am an editor. I will do my best to be a useful Misplaced Pages editor. That is all.

When I make a mistake, please note:

  • I am only a human, I promise I will make mistakes. I revert things that appear to be clear vandalism, or dubious and unsourced, or most aggressively, dubious and unsourced/weakly-sourced and Biographical. I think that Biographical articles are the greatest risk that Misplaced Pages faces.
  • When you find I have made a mistake, please undo my edit and say why in the edit description. If you are VERY kind, and there is a useful Misplaced Pages guideline or consensus, please link it. :)
  • I would mildly prefer that you not leave me a template message if I've made a bad edit.
  • If I have reverted your edit, whether vandalism, otherwise problematic, or mistakenly, please don't abuse me with vandalism here. It will be quickly reverted.

Other things:

  • I am not going to look up your sources for you. If you add content and I flag it {{CN}}, or cut it to the talk page for possible inclusion, beating me up... because you did a quick SuperWombatSearchEngine9 query and found the source you should have included the 1st time... will only make me smile.
  • I make small edits. I put an edit summary on each one, almost without fail. Thus, if an article is badly wounded, I may make 100 edits to it to fix 100 spelling, grammar, structure, and sourcing errors. Please try to survive somehow. Screaming at me that I am editing too much will again only make me smile.
  • If someone posts on a talk page covering 23 points, I may answer with a 23 point response. This *absolutely enrages* some individuals. As a courtesy, I will attempt to remember their preferences, and not reply to their posts. For those times I forget, I apologize in advance, and I invite the reader to ignore my response: I will do my best. In those rare cases where an editor cannot even bear to read a talk page where I post, if the article is one I don't care about, I won't post there any more. If it is, however, I again apologize in advance, and again I invite the editor to ignore my response.
One day, a wise man listened impassively as his critics berated and insulted him during a discussion.
After the end of the discussion, an observer asked him how it made him feel to be treated so.
The elder smiled for a moment, then said "It makes me very happy."
A student, who had been upset already, demanded "How can it make you happy to be treated so!?!?"
His teacher explained, still smiling, "Because, my impetuous young friend, I am not them."

Please add new sections at the BOTTOM

Moved an essay of yours

I have moved User talk:Sinneed\ButImNotShared to User talk:Sinneed/ButImNotShared. The subtle difference in title meant that your essay was not in your user subspace, but was rather on the talk page of a nonexistent user named Sinneed\ButImNotShared. Someguy1221 (talk) 06:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
