Welcome
Hello, May122013, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- 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
We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Attribution language
I’m “100% certain” that you’re correct about the need for attribution. We can’t say “Swartz hanged himself”; nor can we say “Swartz reportedly hanged himself”. The language we’re discussing does meet the guideline: “A spokeswoman for New York’s Medical Examiner reported he had hanged himself.”
I’d now like to draw your attention to the Arrest and state charges section. See Talk. And do reread WP:ER (more than once) before editing. --Dervorguilla (talk) 23:59, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
my Former User Name
I had the User:Mr.grantevans2 user name but have not edited in a long time and have forgotten my password for that user name. May122013 (talk) 02:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Rob Ford
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rob Ford. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- 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. -TFD (talk) 04:35, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
