| Hello. Well, I was going to say that I proposed it be deleted because it appears to be a definition of a term, not encyclopedia content. This sort of thing would belong at wiktionary.

| Hi, your argument is unfortunately not good enough. We must have evidence that this is not your ], or the article will be deleted. If it is a new term that is only just gaining currency, then the right thing to do would be to wait until some credible source uses or refers to it, at which point it may be appropriate to have it as an article. --] | ] 23:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Thanks for uploading ''']'''. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the ] status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. | |||
| If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{tl|GFDL-self}} to release it under the ]. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read ], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at ]. See ] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. | |||
| If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "]" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on ]. Thank you. ] 01:39, 2 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

Blocking messages
Please do not post blocking messages on other user pages unless you are an administrator. Thank you. --HappyCamper 18:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't gone through the entire edit history yet, but is there a particular urgency to block User talk:66.146.157.211 that you noticed? --HappyCamper 18:26, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, it just makes it a bit less confusing...have you seen WP:AIV? If you ever need to request a block, you can add an entry there. It works quite quickly. --HappyCamper 18:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, well, I went through some of the edits and they didn't look too bad. Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems like the IP is just rewording. This is probably better dealt with on the talk page. Normally, fast blocks are given for "blatant" vandalism, such as repeated insertion of shock material into articles. As for the blocking, only administrators can do that. This is your block log here: . --HappyCamper 18:32, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Vandals can't actually block you...only an administrator can. It looks like Bcorr blocked you for vandalism, and 4 days later, another administrator MacGyverMagic unblocked you. If you felt that the block was in error, you might want to ask Bcorr about it. However, since you are unblocked now there should be no problems with editing. --HappyCamper 18:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
3RR
I informed you about the 3RR rule as a courtesy to a new editor, but I now will assume you know it. There was no need to tell me I was in potential violation as I am an experienced editor and the admins know I know the rules, ie I could be blocked for doing 4RR without warning, and from now on so could you, SqueakBox 20:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
\No I haven't nor have I threatened you. Please calm down, SqueakBox 20:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule
You have been blocked for 24 hours for a violation of the three revert rule on Costa Rica. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. Izehar 21:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok I understand I broke the Rules.
- I've unblocked everyone involved, and instead protected Costa Rica. I cannot work infinitely fast, so please, please, please everyone calm down and check back in a little bit when I have finished writing up everything. I will do this extremely thoroughly on Talk:Costa Rica. --HappyCamper 21:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I hope you are happy with the current version? Anyway have a happy new year! SqueakBox 22:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Yes I am. You have a Happy New Year also. =) User:XGustaX
Costa Rica
Well...I guess I did get involved after all! I wrote about 8 paragraphs offline until I noticed and -- I think these speak for themselves :-) Let's enjoy the rest of 2005 as we welcome 2006! --HappyCamper 22:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I was trying to file an extensive 3RR report, basically giving my rationale for why I felt it was appropriate not to block in this instance. There isn't a reason to block if everyone is happy, right? I'm glad you were able to make the article better :-) --HappyCamper 23:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- I should apologize to you as well; I had an inclination that you were a "vandal" because of your previous blocks. Now I understand what you were trying to explain to me earlier. I'm sorry. --HappyCamper 23:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- In the future, please feel free to come to me if you run into such "unjust" blocks. I cannot guarantee that I will unblock you, but I will spend the time to look into it on your behalf. Sound good? --HappyCamper 23:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Language boxes
Oh, those things? You can get them here: Misplaced Pages:Babel -- just follow the instructions and pick out all the ones you like. -- (UTC)
Okay thank you I apperricate it (XGustaX 20:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC))
Not really sure (XGustaX 20:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC))
Costa Rica
I looked at the page history...it is a mess! I don't think I can do much at the moment, because it looks like no 3RRs have occurred. Also, it seems that despite the reversions, the page has not changed much since my previous attempt at protection - see this diff for example. If it degenerates further, I'll likely come back and put on semiprotection; I generally do not block 3RRs unless I think it helps with making the article better. --HappyCamper 18:50, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Hi there! I would like to help you out, but right now, I'm really busy trying to do the same thing for another set of pages. I'll see if I can come over and take a look when I am less busy. Remind me if I forget :-) --HappyCamper 04:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
