Tip of the moment...
Join the Recent Changes Patrol
One way that many users like to contribute to Misplaced Pages is by patrolling recent changes (RCP) for vandalism or other common problems. While this task can be done with a variety of tools it is as simple as looking over the Recent changes link (in your navigation box on the left side of your browser window). Subsets of Recent Changes Patrol include New Page Patrol and Newimages.

Big blind spoiler
... That means either an announcement from the BBC or the following episode itself.
Oh, great. Voyage of the Damned only screened on Aus tv last night, and despite running one of the major clubs in the country I was hoping to go a bit longer before I became spoiler blinded. Do you think a less spoilerific "No!" would be appropriate on the talk page? MartinSFSA (talk) 19:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks anyway; Anon's always going to be an idiot and there's a limit. You're doing good work with the entry while I'm giving up; for no better reason than having to pluck my eyes out. MartinSFSA (talk) 19:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
re Just In Case (Anye Elite song)
I have just seen your comment in the history . I would comment that I had already blocked the editor, since in removing the tag they also removed the comment not to do so. I am also slightly suspicious of any new account that knows about notability but claims ignorance of AfD procedure. However, you commented on good faith edits - so I am willing to immediately unblock if you think it appropriate. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Chief what's his name (commenting here so as not to rub it in on his talk page)
Plus, the magic of autoblock seems to have solved 3 problem editors at once. :) --barneca (talk) 22:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
I've semi-protected your talk page
Some idiot on a dynamic IP was trolling. i set it to indef, so you can decide when to unprotect. if you don't want me screwing with your talk page, then sorry. --barneca (talk) 01:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, that's fine. It's some immature kiddy I've annoyed, that's all. --Rodhullandemu 08:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Doctor Who lead
I didn't think that the Wired blog was that bad a source, but I'll have a look around. It's gotten pretty wide coverage in the UK media, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something better. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:55, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- I looked around to see if a reliable third-party source mentioned all the actors and characters, but all I could find was this from the Liverpool Echo and this from a blog on the Wall Street Journal's site, neither which is really much better than Wired. So I used the credits from "The Stolen Earth" from the BBC's website. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Semi protection
Would it be possible for you to remove the semi protection on my user page. Its been up since september and im not sure there is a need for it anymore. Thnkyou Rod. — Realist (Who's Bad?) 23:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Would you mind changing the move protection on my userpage(and talk too if it doesnt violate policy) from move:autoconfirmed to move:sysop please? Thanks! I won't be moving these pages so...--Xp54321 23:19, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Both done. --Rodhullandemu 23:22, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks!!! I'd give you a barnstar but...;)--Xp54321 23:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
- It's hardly "above and beyond the call of duty", but thanks for the sentiment. --Rodhullandemu 23:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Sponstructive
..is one of my new favorite words. That ANI thread was top notch. A much needed laugh for me today. SJ sure knows how to hit the funny bone. (or should I say funie obne)....Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:45, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Anon shell game
Hiya, do you remember an exchange with this anon? A different IP, evidently controlled by the same user, has been blocked for disruption. I'd be interested in your opinion at User talk:86.44.16.82? Thanks, --Elonka 16:52, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I demand to know why.
You blocked my IP for no reason. Unless you give me a good reason, i will report you.(Butters x (talk) 20:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC))
- I don't normally respond to uncivil demands, particular those accompanied by threats, but if I have made a mistake I will try to sort it out. Since you have an account, I have no way of telling what your IP address is, and looking at your contributions gives me no clue as to why I might have blocked your IP. But if I have, it would be within policy and for a very good reason. --Rodhullandemu 20:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Reason was a block evasion, even though my account OR IP was not blocked. Please explain, and i was not "threatening you" by saying i was going to report you. Don't make it sound dramatic (Butters x (talk) 12:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC))
- Well sorry, but without a reference to the block, I have no way of knowing what's happened. Perhaps you could supply a WP:DIFF? And the type of language you used above is not considered helpful here.--Rodhullandemu 13:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
And now you have blocked my IP for VANDALISM? What vandalism? What the hell is your problem?(Butters x (talk) 15:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC))
- I am unable to do anything without the relevant information, such as, er, which IP? And clearly it is not blocked now. --Rodhullandemu 15:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Scientology: Exteriorization
In the last reference cited in the section on Exteriorization is where Hubbard writes about Astral Bodies and exteriorization(Scientology 8-8008, p. 205). Now Hubbard is the expert in exteriorization as it is used in Scientology but the experts on the Astral body and its projection are Muldoon and Carrington as is evident in their book on the Projection of the Astral Body. Hubbard uses the projecion of the astral body in a negative sense to emphasize what Scientology exteriorization is not. They all use the same word exteriorization each with a different meaning. For the Egyptians and Tibetans, you have to be dead. For Muldoon and Carrington, you have to be out in the astral body and for L. Ron Hubbard, you have to be out of your head but not necessarily out of your mind. JDPhD (talk) 21:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Probably interesting, and I so very nearly care. --Rodhullandemu 23:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Please delete
thanks Enigma 21:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Seems to be gone already. This is a weirdo of some sort. --Rodhullandemu 21:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, the blocking admin caught it. A pleasant surprise for once. Enigma 21:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up; he's early tonight. --Rodhullandemu 21:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Ha, I didn't notice the pattern until you pointed it out. Maybe the asylum allows 10 minutes of Internet access to the inhabitants at that time of night. Enigma 21:49, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

AN/I
Agreed - I'm pretty boned headed at time but even I have some understanding of the human condition. I checked out his page and I agree, his words about his husband were heart-breaking. --Allemandtando (talk) 23:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Another account
I travel often, and I sometimes use public computers to edit Misplaced Pages. I don't want to use my normal account (Kodster) in these areas, so if I wanted to make another account, do I have to get some sort of permission? Cheers, Kodster 19:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
The Lost Opera
Thank you for fixing the reflist on The Lost Opera with this edit. Out of curiosity, was the only thing stopping it working the missing angle bracket? Thanks, Rurp (talk) 10:35, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
