Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:51, 29 January 2008

Welcome!

Hello, Fairchoice, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV), and have been reverted. Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question or ask me my talk page. Again, welcome!  dave souza, talk 21:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there

Other accounts?

Hi - given that you've jumped into some fairly heated debates, may I ask if you edit using any other accounts, or if your participation here was solicited? MastCell 22:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn against, and report vandalism. Your report was not a case of obvious vandalism, and as a result, the user has not been blocked and the request may have been removed from the page. Next time please use Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for reporting a complex abuse or refer to Misplaced Pages:Resolving disputes if you have a dispute with the user. Thank you.

Removal of the dispute

Hi - I removed the dispute from WP:AIV because it's not a clear case of vandalism, which is all that's handled there. You're welcome to list it at WP:ANI, though I don't think it'll get far. Please do not readd it to AIV, it's inappropriate for that venue. - Philippe | Talk 21:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Can I also remind you that your post was only removed from the talk page temporarily, as it should have been at the bottom of the page. The editor concerned wrote his response at the same time as moving the post to the bottom - . Hut 8.5 21:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

ID

Hi, I see you're interested in intelligent design. Articles have to comply with Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy (WP:NPOV). The sections of the WP:NPOV that are particularly relevant are:

• NPOV: Pseudoscience
• NPOV: Undue weight
• NPOV: Making necessary assumptions
• NPOV: Giving "equal validity".

Hope you find that a useful clarification. .. dave souza, talk 21:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
