Welcome!

When posting to my talk page, I have a couple of things that I would like you to keep in mind:

1. When starting a new discussion, please put it in its own section. The easiest way to do this is the click on the "new section" or "+" tab (depending on what skin you're using) at the top of the page and then give the discussion a title.
2. Please be specific. Comments like "Why did you make that edit?" will get us both nowhere. Which edit? To what article?
3. I'll answer here on this page.
4. And finally, please sign your comments. You can do this by putting four tildes at the end of your comments like this: ~~~~

Thanks, Dismas|

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well D. MarnetteD|Talk 23:09, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Shepherd Building Group company logo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Shepherd Building Group company logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:06, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Krokan!!

Ha!! The GBBO is exactly why I created that article :) I googled it and all that came up was (a) croquembouche, (b) a reddit thread asking whether "krokan" had some other name because no one could find it, and (c) google asking me "did you mean kraken?" I did laugh at that last one, heh heh. Luckily I was able to pull most of the text from the Swedish wikipedia -- so glad they had a photo I could use!

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:NYC UN Gift of Italy.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:NYC UN Gift of Italy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:31, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Admin Needed

How do I get an admin to protect a page or section that constantly gets reverted, removing additions to articles that someone doesn't like.

Do repeated reverts get the attention of anyone? etc.

thanks

FrostyBullet (talk) 00:29, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

You can make a request here: Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection. Or, you can tell me what article is it about, so that I can take a look. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:07, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

First, FrostyBullet (talk · contribs), I'm not sure why you're asking me. You can ask this sort of question at the Help Desk. I barely edit articles anymore and there are users there, who are more active, that can answer your question.

Second, I think the removal of the information you're trying to add is justified. The other user has pointed out the exact reason (with a link to the relevant guideline) for why they're removing your edits.

Third, thank you to Vanjagenije (talk · contribs) for jumping in here to respond to Frosty.
