Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:30, 9 October 2014 (UTC) Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give Bitcoin fog a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

• Gparyani sorry but i didn't get what you are talking about... what a different title? it is a totaly new article which i created by searching "bitcoin fog" and after i didn't find anything like that i clicked on the red link of "bitcoin fog" for creating the article about it. --Wheels of steel0 (talk) 22:18, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

• Gparyani it seems i accidently put that "for other uses see bitcoin fog", i copy past some code from the article about "silk road (marketplace)" and when i copied i changed the "silk road" to "bitcoin fog".

@Wheels of steel0: Your creation was automatically tagged as a copy-paste recreation. That was just a bad attempt on my part to guess which page it was copied from. Gparyani (talk) 14:27, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant

I see you requested help at the WP Help desk just above mine; my request is headed "Editing problem". You will see there that dispute resolution is also suggested, but that there are several kinds. I am waiting advice on which is best. I agree with what you say in your request for help and there are real problems with certain editors in this article. I am not experienced enough to know how to handle this, so we will have to wait for help from the Help Desk. --P123ct1 (talk) 20:49, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

P123ct1 don't you know how these things get resolved in wiki? there is no somebody who can decide what to do and prevent them from edit the article as if it is their own? what is preventing us or anybody else from changing what they are doing?, i am realy confused with how wikipedia works.--Wheels of steel0 (talk) 00:17, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

We cannot do anything until the Help Desk recommends which kind of dispute resolution is most suitable in this case; there are several kinds of dispute resolution. If you look at WP:DR they are described there. --P123ct1 (talk) 00:35, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure if you are aware that Gregkaye has been taken to WP:ANI for disruptive editing. There is still time for you to join in and contribute to the discussion. --P123ct1 (talk) 15:07, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

P123ct1 dose he going to be blocked from the article/wikipedia? this is some kind of a vote?--Wheels of steel0 (talk) 02:50, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it is a vote. If you go to the site by clicking on the link above ("for disruptive editing"), you can go and vote and add some comments of your own. You add "Support" or "Oppose" and give reeaons. It looks as if he will be blocked from editing this article and other articles related to the Syrian Civil War, as so far most of the editors agree on this and there are only two who are against it. But you must go there now as I don't know how long the discussion will be kept open before a final decision is made. By the way, the notice below is fairly standard for editors who edit Syrian Civil War-related articles, of which ISIS is one. There is nothing to worry about and it doesn't mean you have done anything wrong. I have had one and it was fine. --P123ct1 (talk) 04:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Please read this notification carefully:
A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as 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.
