You make no effort to verify whether my claims are supported in historical literature and research on the matter. I can assure you I am completely correct. You sir are a racist and a bigot! ] (]) 00:24, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate the importance of maintaining Misplaced Pages’s standards for neutrality, reliable sourcing, and avoiding promotional behavior. I would like to clarify that the addition I made is not promotional but instead contributes meaningfully to the topic by referencing a novel concept published in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal indexed by Web of Science.


The cited source represents a reliable academic reference that aligns with Misplaced Pages’s guidelines on verifiability and reliability. It introduces a unique perspective that enhances the quality of the entry by broadening the scholarly debate. Furthermore, I believe that the inclusion of diverse academic views is critical to upholding Misplaced Pages's mission of being a balanced and comprehensive repository of knowledge.
== ] - IPs ==


If there are counterarguments or alternative perspectives, I welcome those contributions as they can further enrich the entry. However, outright removal of the information without considering its academic merit may inadvertently reflect bias and go against the principles of scholarly debate and Misplaced Pages’s collaborative ethos.
Not sure what went on here before, but it seems an IP with no previous edits has immediately returned after the protection expired and done a similar act. Might want to take a look. ] <sub>(])</sub> 15:21, 16 June 2022 (UTC)


To address potential concerns, I propose the following:

The source and its relevance to the entry can be discussed on the article's talk page to ensure transparency and community review.
== "Illegible" map? (Brazilian Portuguese) ==
If additional verification is required, I am open to providing further supporting evidence for the validity of the reference.
I look forward to collaborating to ensure the entry remains accurate, balanced, and reflective of ongoing academic discourse.

== Meesho Article deletion ==

Hi,

My page ] deleted, because there is draft for it before so, I want to know if there is any other way to publish it again or to contact the person who created the article before.
It is translated in a detailed way from Hindi language to English language and I believe it must be published again because it is an important topic but, I don't know exactly what to do.
So, If you can advise me in this thing.
Thanks in advance! ] (]) 12:20, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi. What was the reason for this removal of content? If I understand correctly, it was removed in the past because of self-promotion, but I'm not an Adlaj sock. I think that ''Notices of the American Mathematical Society'' is a reliable source. ] (]) 16:33, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

:::] is commonly used to exclude things that aren't commonly referred to by others. The more widely held view is that Adlaj's formula isn't worth writing about.

Can you add this image, please? It is a newer, better one, with self-explanation (legend). I cannot edit visually anymore both articles.

I think they can be reported for edit warring on Biology and SO, now. Zenomonoz (talk) 00:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Probably. But no 3RR vio and they are at least talking, even if what they're saying isn't backed up by the sources. MrOllie (talk) 00:12, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

By the way, thanks for your efforts on Repressed memory and its talk page. I'd like to do a major overhaul of Dissociative identity disorder soon, since it seems to give too much credence to a very fringe camp in psychiatry. Zenomonoz (talk) 12:09, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
