Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:31, 28 May 2006

Welcome!

Hello, Gemini531, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I am CTSWyneken. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Provide an Edit summary
• Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
• Create a User page

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. --CTSWyneken 21:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Expansion tag

When using the {{expansion}} tag, please note that it belongs on an article's talk page not the article itself. See Misplaced Pages:Requests for expansion for more info on using this tag. --Pascal666 23:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Email

Hi, Gem!

To email a user, go to his/her user page or talk page.

Find the "email this user" link in the left column menu. Select it.

If the user allows email communication, you will get a page like this one.

Write your message and hit send. That's it! ;-)

Protecting User page

Unfortunately, you can't. If, however, people keep changing it, any admin can do this for you. In practice, it doesn't tend to happen. No problem on asking questions. I'm a librarian in real life. --CTSWyneken 02:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

My nickname

I chose my nickname because I like Thorpe Park. Ever been there? --Thorpe | talk 12:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I got your e-mail. Nice to meet you! --HappyCamper 00:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

Dear Gem: They are the boxes you have on your userpage. 8-) It is possible to do them without a template, but I haven't gone out of my way to learn how it's done. --CTSWyneken 19:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

African American

Please don't pipe African American to United States. This is misleading. You are welcome to note that Marques Houston is African American and you are welcome to link to United States, but please use two separate links. Otherwise, it implies that everyone in the United States is African American. Minor issue, I know, but hey. --Yamla 04:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
