Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. GimliDotNet 18:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Imtitanium, I see how this was vandalism, and I've blocked Sunilvit09‎ indefinitely. I can also see how frustrating this was for you, but keep in mind that something that is glaringly obvious to you is not going to be obvious to others with less knowledge about the subject. I would have probably called it a content dispute myself if I hadn't looked closer at what he was trying to add, and recognized it for what it was. Sorry if this was stressful. Cheers. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:11, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Seconded. Adding content to article talk pages would have had this resolved a hell of a lot quicker as admins like Floquenbeam and others may have got involved sooner. Talking is good, explaining your position is good rather than just saying 'it's vandalism' GimliDotNet 19:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

For me it was just "too" obvious so i did not want to waste time on talk pages when i knew he would not listen. Thanks by the way. --Imtitanium (talk) 06:18, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Please review Misplaced Pages's Etiquette guidelines

Imtitanium,

Please review Misplaced Pages's Etiquette guidelines and Ownership_of_articles. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively, this is not how anyone should be spoken to on Misplaced Pages. You have been warned in the past about how you speak to other users here. It doesn't matter if you suspect a user is a troll or a sock puppet or a banned user, you must refrain from speaking in that manner to anyone. Such language and attitude is not healthy for the community at large. You have also been warned about edit warring, deleting comments, posting offensive material, abusing WP:AIV, and adding incorrect information to Misplaced Pages. If Misplaced Pages is important to you, then you will take the time to review Misplaced Pages's Etiquette guidelines and Ownership_of_articles. Otherwise, you run the risk of being blocked again, and possibly banned.

Consider this a warning. If you have any questions whatsoever, please let me know. Kingturtle = (talk) 14:31, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for putting a good foot forward. Best, Kingturtle = (talk) 16:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Administrator intervention against vandalism

Thanks for your recent report about 201.141.50.12 at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I have semiprotected Project Runway and Template:Project Runway for six months. However, I thought it might help you for the future to let you know that I was about to decline the report, as there had been only one low-level warning and very few edits, when quite by chance I happened to notice an edit to the same article by another, related, IP address. You cannot assume that an administrator will notice things like this, and if a report that you make depends on a history spread over many IP addresses, you should briefly mention the fact. I know that the editing instructions say "keep it short", but it is a mistake to make a report so short that it misses the central point. I notice that, in a message above, you were told "keep in mind that something that is glaringly obvious to you is not going to be obvious to others with less knowledge about the subject", and perhaps the same applies here: without a detailed knowledge of the editing history of the relevant pages, it was not at all obvious that this was a persistent vandal.

Avoiding copyright problems

Hello, and welcome. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 16:09, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Copyright violation at MTV Crunch 2

Hello. I reverted your change to MTV Crunch 2 because it appeared to have been copied from here and was therefore a violation of the copyright of the other site. Whilst we appreciate your contributions, I am afraid that we take other people's copyright very seriously here, and Misplaced Pages cannot accept such material. If you have made any other edits of this type, please take the time to go back through your edit history and remove them. Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 16:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
