| ==Don't fool yourself== | |||
| Perhaps you should read the entire article before brining spurious accusations. Let's recap: | |||
| * You have ] a particular POV with ] wording. | |||
| * You resorted to personal insults and attacks, as well as ] argumentation. ("nationalistic", "patriotic", "you should travel a lot"). Perhaps ''you'' are the one who should travel, I do not live in Mexico, but have lived in three continents and travel extensively. But that doesn't make my arguments anymore truer than yours. What makes my arguments stand is that our proposals on a section on "Crime and Law Enforcement" are compliant with ], ] and ]. We have also argued that economic issues should be discussed in the appropriate section, but that two different subjects should not be mixed. You have conveniently ignored our concerns and questions. | |||
| * You have disrupted other articles and falsely accused others of doing the same by assigning the actions of Supaman to every one who disagrees with you (currently ''all'' editors at ]). | |||
| Please contribute constructively. Like you aptly pointed out, this is the wikipedia where everybody edits. Do not be surprised when five users question your edits. | |||

| Thank you for your change in tone and willingness to dialogue in your last comment. It is well noted and commended. I am more than willing to start anew, and to try to reach a compromised solution in the many articles we are currently editing. | |||
| * Regarding ], there seems to be a deadlock in your proposal, being objected by several users. I will make a proposal in the near future, in line with what has been discussed (law enforcement structure and several statistics that you showed). | |||
| * Regarding ], I think it is relevant to talk about the carnival and soccer. We must beware, however, not to write an introduction with ]s. I think that as long as the article gives due weight to these renown traits of Brazilian culture in the appropriate sections we're on the right track. | |||
| * Regarding ], I still fail to see the need to keep five pictures clustered into a two paragraph section, one of which is of disproportionate size. I ask you to reconsider your position. | |||
| * Regarding ], IMHO, the article is valid, but there are some issues that need to be addressed: | |||
| :*The first one is that you are not paraphrasing. You are citing sources, which is good, but you copied the text of the sources word-by-word. You must not copy sections of text from different sources and then paste them in an article without changing the words (that is what I meant by a "verbatim" copy, which if you are not careful, may border on plagiarism). You should ], or if you cite the words of a very specific person, s/he must be properly identified by name, and his/her words need to be in quotation marks. I can help you paraphrase some of the sections, but please keep note of that in your future contributions. You can review ], which has a good deal of advise on how to use sources, how to paraphrase and how to cite. | |||
| :*The second issue is that you are presenting a very specific point of view (i.e. POV) of a group of social scientists that directly associate crime and violence to economic hindrances. Again, this is good, but it is only presenting a partial analysis of the subject (i.e. it is an essay). It is recommended that you present analyses of all pertinent authorities, even if they seem contradictory. An encyclopedia article, as a ], should present all POVs, citing all authorities without endorsing any particular thesis; and most of all, write about ]. In this particular case, I recommend that you review the very comprehensive analysis on Poverty in Latin America written by the ]. It is full of statistics and give a ''descriptive'' review, rather than a ''proscriptive'' approach. I also recommend that you include the affirmative actions taken by the various governments in Latin America and their results. For example, the drastic reduction in kidnappings and violence in Colombia during Uribe's administration, or the recent role of the armed forces in Mexico in certain cities to hamper drug-traffic activities and the political implications it has had. That way the article would have a very complete review of the situation, and not just the opinion of a couple of social scientists. | |||

- Yes, I know, but that CIA data, I suppose that those statistics are from the World Bank though... Let's see if someone else will raise the question about that. Cheers.

Replaceable fair use Image:Amritaps cheema.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amritaps cheema.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? mattbr 13:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Rio
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Rio de Janeiro. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please take a close look at what you're reverting. you're removing valid citations, and fact tags which are permitted under WP:CITE. inclusion of such information is not vandalism nor major changes to the article Michellecrisp (talk) 23:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- you don't need consensus to add references or fact tags. Misplaced Pages is an open edit encyclopaedia. Michellecrisp (talk) 02:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
October 2008
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rio de Janeiro. 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Michellecrisp (talk) 02:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
November 2008
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to James Webb Space Telescope, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -MBK004 03:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Project Roony
A tag has been placed on Project Roony requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
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. Bongomatic 13:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Project Roony
I have nominated Project Roony, 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/Project Roony. 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. Bongomatic 14:02, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Request for help
I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Misplaced Pages, especially the country outlines.
I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.
I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.
Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

what is vandalism?
This edit was not vandalism. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with 2009 Sydney dust storm. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.
Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with 2009 Sydney dust storm, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.
- I have repleaced the WP:AFD tag which is not a speedy deletion tag, and commented at WP:AN. Please leave the tag alone. Pedro : Chat 10:40, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
