Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:40, 2 March 2007

Pre Mastered Compact Disc

Hello, I am still new in the community and making mistakes (I guess) as I go. I don't quite understand how everything works, but I know the basic pillars. So, if you can tell me what constitutes spam and why I can't sign the 4 tildes to the page I created. There has to be accountability, don't you think? Let me know how we can resolve this issue email me at edvinatea@gmail.com

Misner space

Yes, Misner space was mentioned, but not Misner's Room which is why I moved it. Cheers, Yomangani 02:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Misner space, was selected for DYK!

On January 17, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Misner space, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 21:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC) )

"Revertin vandalism."

Hi there, I was archiving the talk page and to avoid problems I did it to one month earlier..is this considered vandalism? --Rayis 21:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I was trying to archive the talk page, is this called blanking? I archived only the parts that had been out of discussion since December. --Rayis 21:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thats ok. Can you please revert yourself? --Rayis 21:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, but ...

Hello, Orthologist!

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on the logarithm page. Unfortunately, you also wiped out part of the article (a graphic image) in the process. I'll put the picture back into the article, but in the future would you please use the "undo" button to revert vandalism? Thanks! DavidCBryant 23:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's me again. Thanks for writing back. And apologies are completely unnecessary ... I understand that you were helping out when you took that great big bunch of garbage out of logarithm.I hope it didn't sound like I was complaining the first time – I just want to help you learn something.

Here's how to find the "undo" button, On the article's "History" page, mark the two versions you want to compare, then hit the "Compare selected versions" button (it's a big gray button near the top of the page). That will bring up a "diff" page, with the differences between the two versions highlighted. There will be two blue links (edit) and (undo) at the top right of the page, in the "Current revision" section. Just left-click on (undo) and you should get the edited page, with the vandalism removed, and with an edit comment already filled in for you!

"Undo" should always work when going backwards just one version. It will usually work for multiple steps backward all at once – if it can't figure out how to undo the changes you've selected, it will give you a warning message. Hey – nothing's perfect. Have fun with it!  ;^> DavidCBryant 00:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

See Help:Reverting for reverting vandalism in general. JRSpriggs 07:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ghost#Vandalism

Hey, someone pointed out to me that my response to your comment an vandalism on the Ghost talk page might come across as being a bit sarcastic. I want to know if you've taken it that way. If so, I apologize; I've not gotten a lot of sleep in the past couple of weeks. I want you to know that I mean sincerely what I said there. I really am very appreciative of your edits on that page, as I am sure everyone else is. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. V-Man737 06:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Features of a pinball game

Duplication

The information on the Features of a pinball game was moved (back) to the pinball main page. The information on that page is now duplicated on the pinball page and is redundant. There has been some controversy which I guess I started. I thought the pinball page was too long and I broke out the information into separate pages. My editing was undone and all those separate pages were blanked and the information was moved back to the main page. I like the separate page idea better, but apparently some Wiki editors do not.Lhammer610 15:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Ultramaterialism

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Ultramaterialism, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Pomte 06:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

You may want to explain why and how this is different from materialism, over at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ultramaterialism and in the article itself. — coelacan talk — 06:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

ASUE

Hello, Orthologist and thank you for your contributions on articles related to A Series of Unfortunate Events. I'd like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject A Series of Unfortunate Events, a WikiProject aiming to improve coverage of A Series of Unfortunate Events and related articles on Misplaced Pages.

Eliminationism

The article Eliminationism has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Misplaced Pages. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. See WP:NFT and WP:V. NawlinWiki 16:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Your Name in Greek

Zanimum, you state on your user page that your name in greek means "νικοτίνη περισσότερο". As I am of greek ethnicity, I have to tell you that the proper grammar is "περισσότερη νικοτίνη". If you wrote it the other way deliberately, I apologise. By the way, I don't mean to offend; I just want to corect this (minor, actually) inaccuracy. Please don't take this the wrong way.--Orthologist 20:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm definitely not going to take this the wrong way, this is cool! I never thought anyone would see/comment on that. I don't speak Greek, so I didn't know what was what. At some point my name was in a press release or something that was translated into Greek. I thought it was cool, pasted it on my user page. Thanks so much for letting me know how it's actually supposed to be spelled. -- Zanimum 15:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

ASUE comments on Clamster5's talk page

In reference to your question about deleted messages on Clamster5's talk page, I'm not sure what happened, but I didn't delete anyone's comments. The only change I made was this: . As I look at the page, though, the link you provided says "2 intermediate revisions not shown." I see in the talk page history that Werdnabot automatically archived some comments and marked the changes as minor. Do you somehow have your settings so that minor changes are not shown? That would explain why it looked as if I deleted the comments. -Phoenixrod 01:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Robot fetishism

Hi Orthologist, I've made a request at WP:RM to have this article moved back to the original title. I believe the new title doesn't conform with WP:MOS and WP:NAME as "fetishism" isn't a proper noun or usually capitalised. Cheers and happy editing. Robotman 01:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Warnings

I'm not so sure about this, but I think 24.107.112.243's latest contribution was a newbie's test. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he mistook the article with the talk page. Seeing his IP adress didn't have any comments, he must be new.--Orthologist 14:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

One might think that, had he not blanked the page moments before. I was on my way to leaving him a level-1 warning when he removed most of the article again, so I used a level 2 warning instead. As far as I am aware, it is perfectly acceptable to do this, regardless of whether the page has recieved comments before, especially if it seems to be an obvious case of vandalism, which is how it seemed to me.
