Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

January 2015

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Portal:Current events/2015 January 7 with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 04:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

@Jim1138: The edit summary was "yesterday already noted", which seems a good enough reason for deleting an item from the daily news page. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

My apology for the erroneous message and undoing your edit. Obviously, you did leave an edit summary and I missed it. Thanks, @John of Reading: for pointing this out! I'll see if I can fix my blunder.

Again, I apologize! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:58, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Another editor removed the ebola news. Fortunately, I didn't revert it. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:02, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Slvofjstce. I apologize if I've flouted any protocol, as I'm a new user. As a matter of fact, my desire to keep Misplaced Pages's current events portal neutral and credible is what moved me to create an account yesterday. I'm responsible for five or six of the edits on the Tel Aviv stabbing attack news piece from 22 Jan. (though I believe there at least two other users who have suggested similar edits for similar reasons): 01:03, 13:25, 17:02, 21:17, and 02:22 (23 Jan.).

I understand that Misplaced Pages's protocols encourage dialogue between editors rather than back-and-forth edit wars. I'm hoping we can civilly reach an understanding about a fair headline for the tragic attack.

The headline currently reads: "A Palestinian man from the West Bank, Hamza Muhammad Hassan Matrouk, illegally crosses into Israel for the express purpose to stab people attacking over a dozen Israelis on a bus in central Tel Aviv. Security forces capture the assailant as he continued to indiscriminately stab people in the street" (49 words).

My last suggested headline reads: "A Palestinian man from the West Bank stabs up to a dozen Israelis in Tel Aviv before being apprehended" (19 words). Both link to the same article.

I'm not the first to suggest more neutral, accurate, and concise ways of rendering the headline.

The man's name, the adverb "illegally," the detail of him crossing into Israel, and his "express purpose" (never actually revealed in the article) contribute nothing to a headline's goal of providing basic, neutral information the reader can then choose to read more on. The detail of him "continu to indiscriminately stab people in the street" I also feel is superfluous to the headline which, in both cases, has already revealed he stabbed up to a dozen Israelis (not "over": that's patently contradicted by the article).

All told, I feel my suggestion provides all the same essential information in a concise, neutral way that the current headline does not achieve.

I hope we can productively engage on this and come to a reasonable agreement. I hope you can get back to me by 06:00GMT.Slvofjstce (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

I had hoped we could speak before now. I've just gone ahead and added my revision. I hope we can either let the issue rest, or reason things forward from here. Peace. Slvofjstce (talk) 06:11, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

My error

Sorry about that! But my error just now at Portal:Current events/2015 January 12 would not have happened if you'd used an edit summary. Also, when reviewing the list of recent Portal edits I haven't yet learned to recognise your IP address. I second the suggestion, further up this page, that you register with a named account. Then I could easily skip past your edits, knowing that they need no review. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:15, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Oscars

My removal of the Oscars was not unwarranted, I listed perfectly good reasons for the removal and my rationale does meet wikipedia standards. For one, it isn't January 15 in Los Angeles Right now, two, it hasn't happened yet, and three, the the even itself is notable but it is unnecessary to list that it will happen, when it does happen then of course, add it. All you have to do is wait until the oscar announcements actually happen and then put them up, patience is a virtue, embrace it. - SantiLak (talk) 06:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

January 2015

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. TheMagikCow (talk) 14:32, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

you a bot right - or you are the vandal that is socking for the 76 ip anon which is it cause that page you say i am a disruptor for has a vandal who keeps adding something that multiple editors removed as failing notabi9lity - thus since your acct was just created i am almost sure you are just the same guy and a sock!--70.190.111.213 (talk) 14:35, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
