Welcome!

Hello, Rayburne1997, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Dixie Evans, may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Dixie Evans

The article Dixie Evans has been proposed for deletion because, under Misplaced Pages policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:09, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Jennie Lee (dancer). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Anita Ekberg. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Barbara Eden, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. *In this edit, you removed and altered content from a sourced group of sentences without providing an edit summary, your edit resembles vandalism and so the previous content has been restored.

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! Shearonink (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

In a recent series of edits to Jayne Mansfield you removed sorting code from its six Tables, thereby making it impossible to sort various parameters. I have restored the previous versions. If you wish to discuss this, please post on Talk:Jayne Mansfield. Shearonink (talk) 14:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for contribution to Misplaced Pages! Please stop by the Teahouse for help, anytime!

Hello! Rayburne1997, I noticed your article was nominated for deletion and I know that can be disappointing. If you'd like to drop by the Teahouse and discuss the article, the friendly hosts at the Teahouse would be glad to see if they can offer improvement suggestions so that the article can possibly be kept on Misplaced Pages.

Jayne Mansfield

What are you trying to do? Why exactly are you making the tables unsortable? Don't do this. It's a lot of work without having to watch out for your strange activities. Aditya 04:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Stop vandalism

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Jayne Mansfield. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Aditya 12:52, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jayne Mansfield. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SpinningSpark 18:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
