Contributing

No you aren't, try contributing to the encyclopedia. Batbert (talk) 09:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

You've seen Varney, Kentucky and FreeRice, have you? I do contribute. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 09:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Disruption of Misplaced Pages talk:Special:Ancientpages

Please do not use {{editprotected}} unless you want to make a specific edit to a protected page. Repeated abuse of that template may result in a block. Sandstein (talk) 14:33, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Since Special:Ancientpages is a special page, it cannot be updated by ordinary editors (even administrators). You may want to post a bug on bugzilla to request that it be updated, but campaigning on the wiki itself won't accomplish anything. —Random832 14:34, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

My Rfa

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 04:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

.: RFA thanks :.

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout! Cheers! Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 17:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Carré D'agneau

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Carré D'agneau, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Something odd you might want to look into

I happened to notice something rather odd while browsing through some pages. This appears to be a little-used IP address using your signature in a welcome template. It could be a good-faith mistake or confusion, or it might be something else. I just thought you might want to know about it. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 19:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

...

I hope you know that all edits made by wikipedian editors to wikipedia are released under the terms of the GFDL, so you can't claim text as yours. If you're gonna put it here; any text you submit can be modified; built upon; deleted; changed; moved; turned into an article; ect. - - | 05:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

And also, it's not stealing, it's simply creating an article. At Anypoint; somone could have moved your subpage to the wikipdia article on it. and as for the creating the 3,000,000 article thing; that seems very hard to do and highly inprobable; because there have been over 3,000,000 articles, just not 3,000,000 that were kept. Alot of newly created articles get deleted. - - | 05:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

"Undoing a possible troll revert."

Please, assume good faith. It looked to me like you were merely posting to get something more popular on Digg. Have a nice day! :) — neuro 22:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm unsure if it is suitable at all, as it is merely promoting an entry, but since you don't appear to just be here to promote it I won't think anything more of it. As for the question itself, if it is already a viral, everyone on Digg will have already seen it. People only Digg if they find something new or exciting which hasn't been done before. Merry Christmas, by the way. :) — neuro 11:41, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Muntadhar al-Zaidi

Why do you keep posting links to articles that don't exist? What is the point of that? If you think those articles should exist, then write them; then link to them. Baseball Bugs 04:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

No original research

I didn't make that up. Please go and read Misplaced Pages:No original research, which is one of our most important policies. It basically says what you wrote in the edit summary: We can't include something you've just seen on TV, unless you actually cite the source (the news report). If you would've seen something as an eye witness instead, for example, we couldn't include what you've seen at all, unless reliable sources report what you've seen, too. --Conti|✉ 12:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Original research is theory, etc. without reliable sources to back them up. The age-check page is source enough, which reinforces the fact that it's solid fact. Moreover, original research ≠ solid fact, as proven here. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 21:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

The policy is called No Original Research, this means (ta-da!) No Original Research!! Now the edit you keep re-adding is (by your own admission) Original Research, and as it has no reliable sources other than your own Original Research, then it does not belong in the article. Until you can provide some reliable third party sources then your edit will always be reverted, and in this case be reverted by more than one editor. If you continue to add that OR then your edits will be seen as vandalism and although you are only making the edit once a day (to avoid 3RR) it can still lead to you being banned. At this moment you are the one trying to add unsourced info, and policy states that this info will be removed, which is what I and other editors have been doing.

Autism edit war

Please, you've been around Misplaced Pages long enough to know that what you're doing is wrong. Misplaced Pages is not censored: we are here to report the facts, even if they are uncomfortable ones. I don't know whether people with AS are more likely to be pedophiles and/or murderers than NT's; having a guy who was both on a list of people with AS does not provide us with an answer to that question. To omit his entry on the list, however, is censorship. If you question Dante's diagnosis, then let's discuss it. Adding an unreliable link claiming Woody Allen has AS is not the right thing to do. I would like to warn you also that you are on the verge of violating WP:3RR and I will not revert your last edit for this reason.

I have been around Misplaced Pages for a while. Because I only started editing intensively in 2008, you may not recognize me; but I remember you from your various other usernames, which I bring up here only to note that you got blocked very frequently in those years; lately you seem to have improved somewhat. Even though you've crossed the line a few times, you've done a lot of good as well, and I don't want to see you leave Misplaced Pages whether it be due to a block or any other reason. I'd like to come to an agreement with you, as I've found that more often than not persistent edit warriors prefer this outcome to being blocked. But I can assure you that if you remain persistent about issues such as this current edit war, you will risk being blocked, because you are not just going against me, but against the whole community of Misplaced Pages. Soap /_{Contributions} 01:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes I'm pretty much always on IRC. I will be going to bed in an hour or so though so if you want to talk to me today please come in soon. Soap /_{Contributions} 02:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Article # 3,000,000

If you want to join the race to get the 3,000,000th article, you'd better hurry, because it's due to go up tonight. My apologies if you missed out on your chance. -- Soap /_{Contributions} 23:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

I was on a 5-hour drive when this happened. Looks like that I'm predestined to be on a mode of transportation somewhere else every time Misplaced Pages hits an odd millionth article. 1,000,000 - I was riding a bicycle on my university's campus the moment it happened. 3,000,000 - I was driving my sister back home on the Interstate. Apparently, I'm on the computer if an even millionth article hits. 2,000,000 - I was on here. I made Varney, Kentucky at the moment that many users rushed to make their article the 2,000,000th. I pulled the trigger too early; Varney, Kentucky was Article # 1,999,994. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 07:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Ellis Lankster

Please do not add content like you did on Ellis Lankster, this is against WP:BLP as it is WP:Undue weight on a minor incident, and lacks reliable sources. Thankyou Martin451 (talk) 23:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Seongha Jeong

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Seongha Jeong, to Misplaced Pages. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I'm sorry, but I am not attempting to hoax Misplaced Pages. This kid is the real deal! --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 05:21, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

If you had provided me with the actual name, instead of the revised romanized one, then I wouldn't have nominated it for deletion. I'd appreciate it if you could review WP:NOT#INTERNET and let me know how you think he meets those criteria. Frmatt (talk) 05:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Seongha Jeong

I have nominated Seongha Jeong, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Seongha Jeong. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. User:Zscout370 06:23, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

We would greatly appreciate hearing from you at the AfD page linked above. Could you drop in and let us know your thoughts? Frmatt (talk) 06:53, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

February 2010

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Seven News. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Bidgee (talk) 03:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
