Lane99 (talk) 05:50, 1 September 2013 (UTC)Welcome!

Hello, Lane99, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• Your first article
• Biographies of living persons
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Help pages
• Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!--Mishae (talk) 00:11, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

This said I could type this "helpme" on this(?) page, and someone will answer. I noticed the Debra Milke article was, to say the least, not neutral. I have tried to make some edits to it to make it moreso, but I don't know anything about formatting pages here, and I expect I haven't done a proper job of that. (when I figure out how to get the tilde (which is in blue on my keyboard) to type out, I will sign my name properly)lane99

Hi lane99, welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your edits to Debra Milke definitely improved the article, and I don't see any formatting issues. Also, at the bottom of the edit window on this page, above the edit summary field, there should be a little thing that says Sign your posts on talk pages, followed by four tildes. Click the four tildes, and it should insert a signature. Hope this helps! Howicus (talk) 02:24, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, Howicus. Got it.Lane99 (talk) 05:51, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

We do not remove entire sources sections on articles here on Misplaced Pages. I hope I will not have to tell you this again.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. — MusikAnimal 19:28, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

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:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) 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. --SineBot (talk) 15:51, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — MusikAnimal 17:50, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
