== Usage of {{tl|Cquote}} ==
Sorry for the late response. You'll have to look at the usage guide for {{tl|Cquote}}. The template is intended for ]s. ] recommends the HTML <nowiki><blockquote></nowiki> element, but the template {{tl|Quote}} is equally effective. Misuse of {{tl|Cquote}} is a pet peeve of mine on the wiki. <span style="font-family:Times; color:red; letter-spacing:-1.2px;font-weight:normal; background:white;white-space:nowrap;cursor:help;">—] (] <small>•</small> ]) 01:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)</span>
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!
If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up very shortly to answer your questions. Don't be afraid to ask!
If you would like to experiment with Misplaced Pages, I invite you to do so in my own personal sandbox (just follow the simple rules!) or in the Misplaced Pages sandbox.
When you contribute on talk pages or in other areas, it is important to sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that when you ran the spellcheck on Kaavya Viswanathan, there were edits made between when you must have copied the latest version of the article to a spell-checking word processor, and when you pasted it back in. What happened was you inadvertently deleted those edits, because the version of the article you were spell-checking didn't have them in it yet. Thanks for catching those errors in the text, but just be careful next time that you don't accidently wipe out some changes. Dylan22:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed on recent changes that you created a new stub template, unfortunatly I can not see that you have proposed it at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, as all new stub templates should be, usually before they are created. I'm guessing that you didn't know that, it's ok, as long as you do it now. It might be smart to make an estimate of how many articles that would use the template, 60 articles is usually the cut-off-point. Happy editing. --Eivind01:03, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't really know how many articles it might entail for this category. I can't imagine more than sixty.
I thought that the cutoff meant that if there were more than 60, it'd be disallowed. I could easily see upwards of that with diligent searching through the database.
Do'h! Actually my bad, should've been more clear. There's another problem, it should be renamed {{Ireland-singer-stub}}, so it's more in line with our other stubs. And remember to sign your posts with ~~~~, it makes it easier for everyone to see who made the comment. Good luck. --Eivind01:39, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I have a different idea for the look of the box itself, but that's basically it. Now I want to create the User template so others may use it. What's involved in that? Alan03:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
How do you want it to look? I just made a quick draft.
Why have you continued to edit What is...Cliff Clavin? (Cheers), changing a quote that includes the phrase "I lost on Jeopardy" to link to the song, and you say you are fixing a ref. Wikilinks do not reference anything, and the quote has nothing to do with the song. What's up? Staxringoldtalk01:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Please do not add nonsense to Misplaced Pages. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. References are external websites/books/articles/etc that prove a certain fact is true (Joe Shmoe was born MONTH DAY, YEAR with a reference to an article asserting that birthday). What you are doing is linking a phrase to a song with the same name. That is excess linking, and vandalism now that you have been told what it is. Please cease and desist. Staxringoldtalk01:53, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Incorrect. At most and only if you can find a source to reference the statement it's maybe worth a mention in the trivia section. However, Cliff Clavin saying the phrase off-handedly does not warrant a direct link to a Weird Al song. He was not singing nor referring to the song. Stop, it is vandalism. Staxringoldtalk02:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing for violating Misplaced Pages policy against Continuing to vandalize in that link despite warnings. There was no connection between the song and a statement on Cheers other than four generic words referring to losing on a game show.. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock}} along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list. Note to sysops: Unblocking yourself should almost never be done. If you disagree with the block, contact another administrator.Staxringoldtalk02:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. I believe it's frowned upon as it can come off as trying to hide prior warnings from admins who are looking at your edit history down the road. Staxringoldtalk02:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
New templates
To start a new template, just start a new file, but with the prefix Template:, fx User:UBX/TTH. Or you could start a new file in your userspace fx User:Akcarver/TTH and then use {{User:Akcarver/TTH}} on your userpage, I would recommend the latter as some Wikipedians frown upon the usage of Template namespace for non-editing related issues, such as stating your favorite bands, opinions and similar, and might list it for deletion. Happy editing. --Eivind21:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
What the above said. Remember that in order for a Template to work and be hunky-dory it needs to be in the template namespace (Not "Joe" but "Template:Joe"). Example: Template:StargateTech, a template I wrote up (though has now been heavily modified). Staxringoldtalk02:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I moved the page, but for future notice you can make such moves yourself. Up next to the history and edit tabs you should have a tab marked "Move" that lets you move pages to new titles. Staxringoldtalk04:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Stax! There're so many features of Misplaced Pages, I can't keep up with them all!
Apostrophe Abuse
I undid your removal of apostrophes in template:User Apostrophe Abuse. They are supposed to be there to be funny. Reywas9218:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
The religious leaders infoboxes reached concensus some time ago to leave the right border off - see discussion at Template talk:Infobox pope - and this concensus has survived several attempts to force the infobox class onto the template. --Trödel03:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Although it is not exactly the same - the design elemnts are consistent with the rest of wikipedia. There are those that agree with you see Template talk:Infobox Pope#Uglybox. However, I would prefer we stay with the prior style which has been in use for quite some time. Thx for editing the template - I hadn't realized that the recent changes had made the template not work quite right. --Trödel04:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
The Thomas Jacky Peters article seems to be a complete fabrication. I can't find any reference to this person or his supposed works anywhere but here. Who do I talk to about submitting this article for deletion as utter nonsense/possible original research/complete bollocks/whatever?

I am also of your opinion. But we should discuss it also with User:Jmabel, who has compiled the table of winners lately. It would be good to find all winners in one page. Some big film awards have separate years in separate pages with year navigation, plus pages with each award (say, Best Director) for all years. For SIFF, I think we would end up with many little stub-like articles like this. One idea is if we break the over-compacted table in several tables under GSP award. Glad we're on the move one way or the other. As it is, only top-grossing films get all the attention. Hoverfish06:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
OK, Jmabel gave consent, provided it's easy to find. We should make sure links are given in SIFF in the proper section. I will do the changes later today. Hoverfish07:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I misread your message yesterday and moved in a haste. I Now see GSP is not the right name for the other awards, so I will try to solve this right away. Hoverfish13:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:The Brazilian Job Prerelease Poster.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:The Brazilian Job Prerelease Poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Carol M. Baldwin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 99DBSIMLR18:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Logan Marshall-Green Edits
We don't cite Imdb as a source, as it is not considered very reliable. Please see WP: ATT for details. You should probably either self-revert your recent post, or I can do so by the end fo the business day - Arcayne()18:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I will revert. A side note, citation needed tags are supposed to be ugly and jarring; they are supposed to have editors and contributors find the requested citations, or remove the uncited statements. - Arcayne()20:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Young_Doctors_in_Love_DVD_Box.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan0017:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
