Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:00, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

You can't wipe out Talk page content

Whoa! You cannot just wipe out Talk page content, as you did on Talk:Outfoxed (film). It stays as a permanent record of what's been discussed about the article. Wasted Time R (talk) 21:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Mackris/O'Reilly

That subsection should just be left there for now. It was an incident in O'Reilly's life that happened and not relevant to be presented as just a criticism which the spinoff article is about. If you feel strongly about moving it and make a compelling case to why this should be moved, you can propose it on the talk page and see if you can get others to agree with your reasoning.

(+22) means how many bytes are added to the article while (-22) would mean how many bytes are being removed from the article so you can see on your watchlist if content is being added or deleted. MrMurph101 (talk) 02:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

May I suggest something?

Thanks for coming aboard and trying to help wikipedia. While it is good to be WP:BOLD, you should also show some restraint and respect the viewpoints of others. I think it would be a good idea if an experienced editor with some time could adopt you. This would be a good idea if you want to contribute positively to this encyclopedia. Thanks. MrMurph101 (talk) 05:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I would also suggest that you try getting more Misplaced Pages editing experience by working on lower-profile, less volatile subject areas. Articles about Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are among the most difficult to work in, because the nature of the subjects tends to bring more heat than light. Wasted Time R (talk) 05:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I knew you were 16 since your user page says so. Sorry to see you leave and hopefully no one bit you too hard to drive you off. Good luck. MrMurph101 (talk) 06:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Misplaced Pages there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Words of caution

Your recent edits seem to push a particular agenda. While you may believe you are acting in good faith, and I have no doubt that you want to help improve wikipedia, new editors are encouraged to try and learn our core policies, guidelines, and mores before attempting to push their particular point of view into Misplaced Pages. Continually pushing a particular point of view is considered disruptive behavior, and should be avoided. If you need any help deciphering our myriad of guidelines and policies, please don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 21:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

3 Revert rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bill O'Reilly (commentator). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to Bill O'Reilly (commentator), you will be blocked from editing. --Mhking (talk) 03:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Misplaced Pages again, as you did to Bill O'Reilly (commentator), you will be blocked from editing. User Doe _☻T 03:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Misplaced Pages's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Spellcast (talk) 03:13, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I've unblocked your account for the meantime. Please don't let the silly vandalism start up again by letting the account become compromised. Thanks. Spellcast (talk) 21:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
