Thanks

For the barnstar! Bearian (talk) 16:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Basil I

I do not have the Norwich book, unfortunately, so I'm unable to help find the page number for the reference to Basil I and his language and speech. I did find a reference in Macedonia and Greece: The Struggle to Define a New Balkan Nation By John Shea, p. 56 that claims had been made that the Macedonian dynasty spoke a Macedonian Slavic dialect, alongside Greek, and that they were slavicised Armenians or of mixed ancestry.

• Thanks anyway. M.Karelin (talk) 19:31, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Infobox

For US Court of Appeals cases, you can use:

• OK, thanks. M.Karelin (talk) 12:25, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate it! :) Teammm  email 00:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Tomorrow we will talk about Florida here

If you mean on Monday, no. The judge's order takes effect at the end of January 5. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 19:52, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

• @Bmclaughlin9: At the "end" of January 5 ?? What does it mean? At what time exactly? M.Karelin (talk) 20:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

It's not hard. As soon as the calendar changes to January 6. Normally we'd say 12:01 am January 6. See for example the clerk's office that will open at 11:30 pm Monday in order to give out licenses at midnight here. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:41, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks a lot. M.Karelin (talk) 23:35, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Armenian Ambassador

Hello there, the chart on the list are probably the most accurate as they draw from the embassy websites. As seen here, Richard Mills is indeed the current Armenian ambassador. Therequiembellishere (talk) 00:24, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Миша Карелин! Your additions to 2024 United States presidential election have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Misplaced Pages, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 20:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

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.
