Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:56, 19 April 2014

Welcome!

Hello, Daily.drink, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• Starting an article
• Your first article
• Biographies of living persons
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Help pages
• Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Comatmebro 15:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Maria Angeli Tabaquero

The article Maria Angeli Tabaquero has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Comatmebro 15:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:CVRS.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CVRS.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:22, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Feedback on updated greeting

Many new users receive from other Misplaced Pages users one of the various Welcome greetings with links to helpful Misplaced Pages resources. These greetings range from simple ones, with very few links, to greetings with more comprehensive links that help the novice user immediately, and as they become more experienced.

As a relatively new user, I would appreciate if you could let me know your preference for one of these options at Template:Welcomeg vs. an updated greeting version below. Any additional feedback about the benefits, need for other improvements to the content or visual presentation, or problems with the updated version, would also be welcomed.

If you are not interested in noting your preference based on these two options, please simply indicate in this Talk discussion that you have no interest.

In comparing the current Welcome greeting at Template:Welcomeg, the updated version of the Welcome greeting below has:

• Updated Welcome introduction, including some new links, with additional helpful suggestions
• Regrouping of various links with common topics in the tables for better flow and view of related topics
• Practical descriptions of the links so that users do not have to guess what they are clicking on
• "Getting started" and "Getting help" sections, which are the most important for novice users, has more complete set of helpful links for novice users, yet remains fairly simple
• Other sections have more complete sets of helpful links so that users, as they gain more experience, do not have to figure out where to find these very practical tools and resources
• Collapsible tables so that the welcome greeting does not overwhelm a user's page and and is easily expandable

The current Template:Welcomeg is simpler with not as many links for any user who has a problem with being presented with too many links in a Welcome greeting.

If you would like, I can also post the updated Welcome greeting below at the top of your talk page or you can simply copy/cut and paste it yourself to the top of your page.

I am a relatively new user with some experience. Thanks for your consideration. Wondering55 (talk) 03:56, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
