Misplaced Pages

Weekly instructions

• - Open the recipients talk page and click on 'New section' (I usually use "Editor of the Week" as my section title, but that's not normative), you'll want to post the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient notification template into the new section. This template is mostly self-explanatory, and I have found that contrary to the instructions, unless I missed something, you don't actually need to use a special diffs template for any diffs found within the nomination statement.
• - For the "briefreason" field, I usually began with the word 'your' so that the resulting sentence will make better sense
• - Fill out the template and save it on the nominee's talkpage.
• - Remove that editor's entry on the accepted nominations page
• - Add their name to recipient listing @ found here. Save the new diff #
• - Go to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations and create a new EddyBanner
• - Go to the Hall of Fame and remove appropriate ((<---)) from previous week and ((--->)) from current week.
• - Go to Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page and change the date at the bottom of the page
• - Go to Nominee's talk page and add {{{subst:Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page}}} within the Award, just under the "userbox creator" which places it off to the right side allowing space for Congrats!
• - Once recipient responds, add it to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response
• - If the recipient is an editor that displays "topicons", add Template:Editor of the Week topicon to the top of their user page

Writing an article

1. Use reliable, independent sources (WP:RS) to include significant encyclopedic information.
2. Use self-published sources as rarely as possible, and only for common uncontroversial information.
3. Avoid all qualifiers for knowledge, quality, size and success (WP:NPOV, WP:PEACOCK).
4. Avoid trivial listings, tedious boring details, and vague PR speak with no tangible facts.

• From User talk:Mast Cell: More generally, the reason I first got involved with Misplaced Pages—and a governing principle in my decade-plus here—has been to make Misplaced Pages a vehicle of accurate, high-quality medical information, and to limit the harm caused by medical misinformation here. I don't think I anticipated a situation where the President of the United States, and his political enablers, would become the primary vectors for medical misinformation, nor where simple opposition to blatant medical misinformation & lies would be treated as a partisan act rather than as a basic expression of this site's founding principles. (Of course, I never dreamed that these people could turn the simple use of face masks, during a deadly global pandemic, into a partisan wedge issue either. Live and learn.)
