Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:16, 3 January 2012

Welcome!

Hello, Bouket, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction - gives a brief outline of how to edit Misplaced Pages.
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages - five important things to know about the project.
• Manual of Style - how to format an article correctly. Another good way is to check out our Featured and Good Articles.
• Referencing for beginners - all information on Misplaced Pages should be verified by other sources, and referencing facts properly prevents original research creeping into articles.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Most of all, don't be nervous about editing, be bold!. Everybody was new here once, and there will always be somebody around if something isn't right. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Sorry, I didn't realize they were taken at two different conventions two years apart. The fact that they were both taken at Comic-Con, and the similar hairstyle in both, caused me to act instinctively. Looking more closely at it, I see, in addition to the different years indicated in the captions, that the very top of her blouse in the 2009 pic is different, and she's wearing different earrings. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Suckit.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Suckit.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:41, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Removed categories

If your comment was addressed at Nightscream, it's more likely he'll see it if you post it on his talk page. Just for the record, what he was removing was categories I had added to those pages, which I don't think you can add tags to, since they don't appear on the spot on the page.

Fair use rationale for File:Love_thats_america_youtube.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Love_thats_america_youtube.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 03:47, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Warning: Hounding Beyond My Ken

If you continue to WP:HOUND the editor Beyond My Ken (talk · contribs), you may be blocked from editing.

Wikihounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Misplaced Pages.

The important component of wikihounding is disruption to another user's own enjoyment of editing, or to the project generally, for no overriding reason. If "following another user around" is accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior, it may become a very serious matter and could result in blocks and other editing restrictions.
