Re: LGBT topic
I have no idea about your question on my talk page, the userbox is just expressing that person individual view only, but doesn't mean the users is a LGBTphobia, since Misplaced Pages is a worldwide encyclopedia project which accommodated variety kind of editors individual expression. If you're interested contributions of writing some particular event that's relevant to LGBT people or LGBT artists with providing the WP:RS onto the articles project, you're welcome. However, please note that Misplaced Pages isn't the place for you to advocating your sexual orientation, read more about the WP:NOT policies and guidelines.

- Thank you for removing that infobox from your page. Irene Croat (talk) 15:40, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
DYK nomination of John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut
Hello! Your submission of John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! – Muboshgu (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
AfD for Letha Weapons
The AfD for Letha Weapons is still open. While it is open, the article should not be removed. Please stop moving the page, and let editors reach a consensus about what to do. • Gene93k (talk) 23:43, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
- The page should have been restored to my user area as requested. There is no point in having a deletion discussion. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 23:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Comment
Hello, Polycarpa aurata,
I see that you got your article back. Apparently, not every editor thinks AFC reviews are helpful but that is still what I would recommend, reviewers can often spot problems that page creators may miss.
And I just wanted to say that if you had accepted my original offer to restore this draft back on January 18th, you wouldn't have had to spend the past two weeks discussing this at Deletion Review. I think editors who turn to noticeboards have mixed results but it is almost always going to be a big investment of your time and mental energy going through the arguments on them. I keep my distance from them unless I'm called to comment on a situation. Good luck with your content work, I really do mean that. Liz 01:31, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, Liz. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 03:48, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Concerns about RepresentUs
Regarding your concerns about RepresentUs, I would suggest you open a discussion about the article at WP:COIN. ––FormalDude talk 04:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, FormalDude, I'll try that. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 04:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Polycarpa aurata I was just reading COIN to catch up on what I've missed/I'm missing due to an irl issue that's taking a great deal of my time and noticed you brought up something at COIN while you have less than 200 edits. I do not mention that as a negative thing, just wanted to say I am greatly impressed by a new editor being able to manage such a complex noticeboard and remain civil, continuing to assume good faith, and arguing eloquently your perspective (no judgement from my part on the actual thread, I'm staying uninvolved with that discussion). I hope the thread won't discourage you from participating in COIN and other noticeboards, and hope similarly to have productive interactions with you in article space in the future. And as I always tell new editors, if there is any question, concern, or issue you want some help with feel free to {{ping}} me or start a section in my user page. Enjoy the rest of the week :) PS: what is the origin of your user name, if you don't mind me asking? A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 22:00, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- A. C. Santacruz, thank you. I will probably take you up on your offer to field questions. When I wanted to change my username, I was not allowed to have the one I wanted, so I used the name of the page I was reading at the time. Polycarpa aurata (talk) 22:18, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

DYK for John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut
On 6 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut was the bestselling pornographic film of 1994 and had the most rentals that year in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!
The Special Barnstar | |
I just wanted to echo the statement made by A. C. Santacruz above that I do think you have managed to do extraordinarily well on Misplaced Pages for a newcomer. Before anyone else has the chance, I wanted to be the first person to award you a barnstar for your outstanding record thus far on the project. –MJL ‐Talk‐ 06:07, 8 March 2022 (UTC) |
