Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Your recent talk page comments on Talk:General of the Armies were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Thank you. - wolf 02:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm KylieTastic. An edit that you recently made to General of the Air Force seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! KylieTastic (talk) 17:59, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. - wolf 03:40, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Added note
On Talk:United States Army officer rank insignia, you posted a comment in the middle of another editor's comment, which I'm sure was just an error, but just the same I corrected it for you. As it was an older thread, (one that should've been archived before now), and a lengthy thread, I moved your comment to the bottom, and added a quote of the paragraph from the comment you were replying to. As the thread is from 2007, normally one wouldn't expect a reply, but the editor you were replying to appears to still be active, so... maybe.
Going forward, please use the proper means to sign your posts, use the WP:PREVIEW function to review your edits before saving, to reduce errors and the numbers of edits in the page history, and take care where you add your comments, so not to disrupt others editor's posts, or threads in general. Thank you - wolf 03:51, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
September 2021
Hello, just saw your comments at Talk:Five-star rank and thought you might want to have a look at Talk:Admiral of the Navy (United States)#Higher rank review (if you haven't already) and perhaps contribute to that discussion. Also, just reminder to sign all your posts. Thanks - wolf 22:11, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Pronunciation of GIF are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse.

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
