Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Old East Slavic. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:53, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for the incorrect revert

Hi, Victor. Just a quick apology for reverting your correct change back to the consensus version of the type of government on the Belarus article. I was tired and not paying attention properly. It's a poor excuse, but I hope you'll accept my apology. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:21, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

October 2014

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Don Cossacks seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Languages of Russia seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Please read WP:NPOV. Neutral point of view does not mean refactoring words used by reliable sources because they may not appeal to your WP:POV. What you are engaging in is WP:GEVAL. Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• It only shows what english wikipedia really is. Screw you, imperial. Viktor Š 22:25, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh, what a joy you are! Allow me to suggest that you work on a wiki that meets with your preconception of "The Truth". Nope, there isn't one. Love your appeal to archaic pseudo-communistic terminology: nice alternative take on Godwin's law. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 09:22, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

March 2015

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to Languages of Russia. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:30, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I did not, your accusations are nonsence Viktor Š 21:22, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:57, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:24, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

"First woman into space" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect First woman into space. Since you had some involvement with the First woman into space redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Steel1943 (talk) 20:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
