Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

By my reckoning, you have fifteen minutes left. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:41, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I thought the block is in my local time. I'll wait then. Thank you Typical Albanian (talk) 18:43, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Moved discussion

• Question to nom: who is User:EHZeroEight? P.I. Ellsworth , ed.  19:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

  It's me on another account that I opened recently. Typical Albanian (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Be sure you read WP:Username policy#Using multiple accounts, Misplaced Pages's policy on having more than one user account, okay? It's not a big deal, even I have an alternate account. It's just a good idea to let others know, usually by showing both of them on your user pages. P.I. Ellsworth , ed.  20:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

I haven't edited yet my user pages, tbh I don't know what to type in them. Anyhow when will the decision about the name change be taken? Typical Albanian (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

At this link, WP:Username policy#Changing your username, there is guidance for changing your username. Not sure how it's handled because I've never done it. I moved this discussion from the move request here to your user talk page. Best of everything to you and yours! P.I. Ellsworth , ed.  22:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. El_C 09:49, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
