Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

Here are some other hints and tips:

• I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Misplaced Pages, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
• When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome! --91.55.206.73 (talk)

Cursing not wanted

Please don't add profanity to your edit summaries. It's considered uncivil behavior and can initiate administrative action against your editing privileges. Thanks for understanding. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Yup, will do. --91.55.206.73 (talk)

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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should 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) 18:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Please don't revert someone out of spite. That would be near edit warring. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

See your talk. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

His edit reverted my use of date autoformatting. This is not the same issue. Yuor edits now suggest harassment of a particular user by merely contradicting everything he says/ does instead of recognizing his experience or citing where/why you think he's wrong with specific policies/ guidelines/ etc. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I merely removed the empty space. This has nothing to do with dates, he re-added the space on the date reversal's back. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Incorrect. By reverting instead of editing the portion your disagreed with, you reverted his possibly legitimate reversal of my use of date autoformatting. You really shouldn't revert an edit if half or more of it is legitimate. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I haven't reverted it, unless I completely misunderstand you. Please point out my edit you are referring to as spiteful. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Oops! You're right; I'm wrong. You didn't technically revert it. Still, your edit summary for this edit was "That was a cheap shot." It sounds like you have a problem with User:BillCJ. Can you explain what you mean by that? - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure: While reverting your date change, he re-added one of the empty lines we so enthusiastically talk about. Note that he added one, not both, or I would have assumed he was just sloppy and undid both our changes. Like it is, I have to assume bad faith and call it a cheap shot. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You should rather assume good faith and ask him why he is doing that. Also, RE: this. Sure: poor formatting of the notification. I've since fixed it. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:53, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I think this stretches it a bit: He not only piggy-backs a contested edit in an unrelated edit, he also ignores the discussion on the article's talk page and routinely removes anything I say on his /Talk. How, pray tell, should I contact him? By phone? I'll re-revert your change. Ok on your other reveral. --91.55.206.73 (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
