Welcome back

I saw your message requesting your bit back, and just want to be the first to welcome you back. Horologium (talk) 23:38, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I do accept donations of single-malt scotch. Friday (talk) 00:09, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

soapy bob

hello, Friday

i see that my entry for the soapy bob was deleted nearly immediately,

i need to see if i can get it back, so that it can be amended...i intend to reference it on the "dirty sanchez" page, once it is properly developed

,thanks

I am highly skeptical that any of this content will prove useful, but, it's there on your user page still, right where you put it. Friday (talk) 14:19, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

--excuse my ignorance, can you link information on your user page to an article? i just didn't want to be creating an invalid redirect when i make amendment to the "dirty sanchez" page. I realize your not a wiki-tutor, but i am obviously new (and ignorant) to the procedures here. , thanks in advanced 15:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)~~Jhw8bs — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhw8bs (talk • contribs)

No, you should not link to a user page from an article. Friday (talk) 15:43, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

well, my user page was deleted by "Anna Frodesiak", and i don't seem to be entitled to keeping the information posted anywhere...is there any chance i could beg of you to help me understand what i need to do to get my article posted in a linkable location. ,thanks in advanced (again) -fruststated Jhw8bs (talk) 21:05, 19 February 2014 (UTC)jhw8bs

Honestly, the best place I can think of, for this content, is urbandictionary.com. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a place to try to coin new terms. Here, we require sources and whatnot- Misplaced Pages is never going to be the FIRST place a new concept gets covered. We lag behind other sources, on purpose. Friday (talk) 21:34, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

ahh, en lies the confusion...this is not a creation of said term, it is an explanation of a verbal reference from a film (which was to be added to the entry once i could create a complete bibliography/cite) that refers to the "soapy bob" but never goes on to explain what it is. much like the "Alabama squeeze box" from "Rango", johny depp's character does not explain the backstory of the term. , and the urbandictionary entry is already submitted and waiting for approval (once the quote is confirmed) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.234.176.55 (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

AFD process

Thanks for deleting page Bella jasiurkowski. You commented

listed at AFD, but no need for that in such an obvious case.

Is there another action I should have taken on seeing it rather than listing it? I'm new to afd… Lineslarge (talk) 19:28, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing, you can tag them for immediate deletion, see Misplaced Pages:Criteria for speedy deletion for details. There is also Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion which is in between the other two options. Friday (talk) 19:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. Lineslarge (talk) 20:11, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
