Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 08:53, 22 May 2018

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give LuLu International Shopping Mall a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Deependra Gandhi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Deependra Gandhi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Passengerpigeon (talk) 10:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Template:Gwalior Division

Deependra24dg

• Please avoid editing templates such as Template:Gwalior Division. Putting headings like this, that I have removed, in them 'mess it up' and they also appear in the table of contents of pages, when they shouldn't.
• Please also stop creating unreferenced pages. Sources are required per wp: VERIFIABILITY.
• Consider creating new pages as a wp:DRAFT.

Gwalior Fort

Deependra24dg, for your information, templates usually don't go in the references section, certainly not before the {{Reflist}} template, thus:

• Not like this as you did to Gwalior Fort,
• More like this

Disambiguation link notification for August 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thatipur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Locality. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:37, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The flag point

The article The flag point has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability. Long-term orphan unimproved article lacking sources. A merge proposal has existed since the article's creation but it is not sensible to merge this article (about the 38th largest flag in India) with an article about the flag of India. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 06:14, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, I'm Batternut. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Gwalior, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

January 2018

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Gwalior. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Batternut (talk) 23:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Misplaced Pages, as you did at Gwalior, you may be blocked from editing. Repeat warning for adding false information to the Gwalior article. Batternut (talk) 12:01, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Your recent edit once again has replaced a cited value, area 289km2, as per the source ("About GMC"), with a figure (780km2) not given in the source at all. Please read Misplaced Pages policy WP:VERIFIABILITY and provide a Reliable Source (RS) for your edits. If you continue with such unsourced edits this will be seen as persistent disruptive editing, and your account is likely to be blocked. Batternut (talk) 21:58, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Your unsourced/incorrect information edits to Gwalior and Jhansi have again been reverted. You continue to ignore Misplaced Pages policy WP:VERIFIABILITY, and have been reported to WP:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Batternut (talk) 12:13, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Blocked

• I have given this account a short block of 2 days because you keep adding information to articles or changing information in articles, but refuse to provide a source for your information to tell readers where you got it from. You have been warned about this multiple times, but have made NO attempt to communicate with anyone. If you would like to be unblocked, please explain that you understand this, and will work to provide sources for all of your changes, and that you will ask for help if you're doing something wrong. --Jayron32 13:12, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Misplaced Pages again, as you did at Gwalior, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You were blocked for 2 days last month for exactly this edit. Provide your sources or risk a more significant block! Batternut (talk) 08:31, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Gwalior. Again this morning. What are your sources? Batternut (talk) 13:48, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gwalior Municipal Corporation, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Batternut (talk) 08:42, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to National Capital Region (India). This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Batternut (talk) 08:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
