Search user languages  Skip to the bottom  Back to the top ELCOME to my little corner of this vast space that is Misplaced Pages! I currently live in the city of Surrey in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. I'm just a regular guy with a love of knowledge; don't really have much to say about myself. As for my contributions here, I make mostly minor "clean-up" edits to articles on pretty much any subject, but fringe topics interest me the most. All of my edits are done manually (Twinkle/Friendly and HotCat being the only automated tools I use for common maintenance tasks). I spend most of my time on Misplaced Pages just reading and navigating through the seemingly never-ending maze of articles and links, but as I go I'm always trying to find a way to somehow improve whatever page I come across. I'm also an administrator here so I tend to do more maintenance-type work rather than writing new content, though I have started a few articles. I also try to help out meta-wise and you may find me generally doing a little bit of everything, from patrolling new pages to fighting vandalism, to redirect-sorting and categorizing, believing each minor contribution will improve the whole. Although I'm usually very Sloth-like, I'd probably still classify myself as a WikiGnome, albeit a slightly obsessive one ;) I also welcome new editors and am an active random page patroller too; with 6,936,218 articles you never know what you may come across, and it's always a treat when you discover that one treasure of an article. I take Misplaced Pages seriously but I also believe it's important to have fun therefore I try to avoid drama as much as possible, but I'm not unwilling to make a difficult block if I must. I have much faith in Misplaced Pages and its policies and optimistic hope for its future. If you have any comments or suggestions for me or just want to say "Hey!" you are most welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. — ${\displaystyle {\mathfrak {OlEnglish}}}$ 13:49, January 6, 2025 PST

Communication between editors takes place at Talk pages.

To send a message to another editor:

1. Go to their user Talk page (e.g. User talk:xxxxx)
2. Click the "Add topic" button at the top and, when the editing window opens, you can type your message and a subject heading to your post.
3. At the end of your message, include your signature with ~+~+~+~ (~~~~ four tilde characters).

Note that user talk pages are publicly viewable, so it is not a private message to the user concerned. Even when deleted, the message is forever viewable in their History.

Editor replies: Unless the other user includes a link to your user page in their reply (called a Ping), you will not get a notification that they have responded, so it is a good idea to either check their talk page every now and then, or add it to your Watch list.
