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:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- 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) 19:35, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

- Hi, you are still not signing your posts in talk space. This is important so everyone knows who is saying what. Is there a reason you are not doing this? ―Mandruss ☎ 15:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
DS Alert (US politics)
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Template:Z33 NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 15:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, the above scary template is just an FYI thing, but once an editor gets it, that editor is at risk of faster swifter sanctions if they fail to abide by The "principles" the arbs have declared for these discussions. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 15:29, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
