Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Brianhe (talk) 18:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor

Thank you so much for trying out the new VisualEditor! The transition can be a little challenging to those of us who know something about Wiki markup already. :) If you insert some of the familiar Wikimarkup code (like ] or {{}}), the VisualEditor thinks you are trying to type these things and puts "<nowiki>" tags around it. To actually achieve the same effects, you just need to use the link, template and other icons in the VisualEditor itself. (For more detail, please see Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/User guide and the Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/FAQ.)

If you have feedback about your experience or encounter anything that looks like a bug, please let us know at Misplaced Pages:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thanks! --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 14:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nir Barkat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Labor Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Misplaced Pages. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Capital punishment, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Re your edit to Ariel University -- please see the talk page there before editing further, and in particular the fact that this article is under a WP:1RR restriction. thanks, —Nomoskedasticity (talk) 18:03, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 ""s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Information icon Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 20:40, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
