Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (April 20)

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Absolutely Certainly/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Misplaced Pages's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Absolutely Certainly/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Hello, Absolutely Certainly! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Misplaced Pages where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 22:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

I am new to making contributions here and was just testing the way Misplaced Pages works. I want to request its deletion according to the instructions above (add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text) but when I got to my sandbox there is no indication of where the draft begins and ends. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 20:58, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I've deleted your sandbox for you. You don't need to know where the draft starts and finishes, adding {{Db-g7}} to the page will do. Nthep (talk) 21:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Can I add {{Db-g7}} anywhere on the page?

anywhere Absolutely Certainly (talk) 21:33, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Anywhere, but at the top is the normal. Nthep (talk) 06:01, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Misplaced Pages article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 10:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

June 2022

Hello, I'm Singularity42. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Singularity42 (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Nothing experimental. Applying the Misplaced Pages's MOS: " There are cases in which titles should not be in italics nor in quotation marks (though many are capitalized): Legal or constitutional documents: temporary restraining order, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Bill of Rights". Does Misplaced Pages adhere to their MOS rules? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 22:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Please consult MOS:CANLAW. —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

1. First, you didn't just remove the italics in this edit. You removed the bolding from article's title in the lede, which is standard in Misplaced Pages's MOS. You also changed the word "Charter" to "CharCommand Piloter" for some reason. So yes, it needed to be reverted.
2. Someone added a reference to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at MOS:TITLE without any knowledge of Canadian practices for citing legislation. This was discussed at the article's talk page and at WP:CANLAW. Maybe the consensus from those pages are wrong. If that is the case, you should discuss it at the article's talk page or at WP:CANLAW and see if there is a new consensus. Singularity42 (talk) 23:05, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I have now removed the reference to the Charter from MOS:TITLES to avoid further confusion as it conflicted with MOS:CANLAW. Singularity42 (talk) 23:10, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

First, I made a copy paste error for "CharCommand Piloter". No mention of "italics" at WP:CANLAW. Please explain? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

For what it is worth, what are the "Canadian practises for citing legislation"? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

From MOS:CANLAW: In Canada, per the McGill Guide, Act titles are italicized.. It's the McGill Guide that says how Canadian legislation and cases are displayed. Singularity42 (talk) 23:43, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Still don't see it. Try an written explanation of your viewpoint with references, Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:48, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Um, no. This is enough of a time sink and I'm not citing references to you. I've tried enough good faith but I have now literally quoted the sentence from the policy guide. If you can't find it, do a control-F search on that page for the sentence. Multiple editors have now told you to stop. So please stop. Singularity42 (talk) 23:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

The McGill guide? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 00:06, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Faith is a route to any proposition. Good faith to you. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 00:07, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Do you italicize the name of acts?

Do not italicize short forms such as "the Act" or "the Charter": The Act defines environment as including land, water and air; organic and inorganic matter; living organisms; and natural systems. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

This is too weird Absolutely Certainly (talk) 00:05, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Absolutely Certainly! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 23:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Singularity42, I noticed you ignored my rhetorical questions. Your impulse to ignore questions that make your disagreement unjustified are understandable but not justifiable. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 00:00, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Soul, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 02:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ark of the Covenant seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 00:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Claim

Please stop adding the word "claim" and its variations into articles to attempt to question the source. Your edit summary reworded to remove unverified claims is inaccurate. The fact that the Book of Hebrews says this is not an unverified claim, it does in fact say this. That's all the article says, that the information about the Ark is in the Book of Hebrews, and it is, that's not an unverified claim. - Aoidh (talk) 22:07, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

What it "says" is am unverified claim. Encyclopaedias are about verifiable claims. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 22:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Please read what I wrote above again. The Book of Hebrews absolutely does say what the article says it does, that's a verifiable statement of fact. The article's wording makes no judgement to the veracity of the statements in the Book of Hebrews, all it does it state that the information is in said book. Nothing about that is unverified. It should be very obvious now that your changes are controversial, please read WP:BRD and discuss what you would like changed on the article's talk page. - Aoidh (talk) 22:43, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

The book makes a claim. I understand that you are afraid to admit it is only s claim. In logic, the law of excluded middle (or the principle of excluded middle) states that for every proposition, either this proposition or its negation is true. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 22:53, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Ark_of_the_Covenant

Please could you go a bit easy at Ark_of_the_Covenant? You might notice that almost every edit you have made there has been reverted, by multiple different editors. This is a clear indication that your editing is going against the consensus viewpoint. You should definitely stop and engage in discussion at the talk-page. Many thanks!
