Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 02:12, 13 May 2015

Your Userpage

That's an easy question. You appeared to be writing an article entitled "RayvnEQ", rather than a userpage for "User:RayvnEQ". As an article on a notable subject, the article made no sense at all - which is why I deleted it. Since it was a userpage, it should go at User:RayvnEQ, not RayvnEQ. I can move the deleted content to your userspace if you like, or provide a copy. No problem at all. UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 00:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done. There might be some formatting issues you'll want to look at, but the entire contents have been posted to your userpage. Please let me know I can be of further assistance. Best, UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 15:34, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Christian views on magic

Hello RayvnEQ, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Christian views on magic - a page you tagged - because: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Coffee // have a cup // ark // 09:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for leaving me a message. Although I did not find a corresponding specific template for a tag used for that reason (the reason being, basically, that such a thing does not really belong in an encyclopedia), it was listed on a page about what is and is not okay to create pages about, as a thing that is not okay. Since the non-encyclopedic pages of Misplaced Pages are so hard to find and navigate, I cannot tell you what the exact page is called, but, at the time I read it, I do remember seeing such a thing, that any random topic one can think of should not be put on Misplaced Pages, as well as any random celebrity/movie/book/etc., even a popular one, should not be put on Misplaced Pages even if it was immensely popular. Of course the latter is pretty much done anyway because the readers expect to find articles on any popular movie, book, or celebrity (i.e. Twilight), but the former is not something anyone would expect to look for if it is not a one-word or one-phrase topic. I am not arguing your decision, if it seems that way, but, I am a bit confused; If a human is not supposed to create pages of a certain type, but pages so-created are not supposed to be deleted, then how does that work out?                     ~Rayvn 11:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Adding references

Hi, I saw that you were having trouble adding references at Ozzy Osbourne. You might want to check out Misplaced Pages:RefToolbar. Follow the instructions on that page and you will have a "button" that will make adding references much easier. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy editing J04n(talk page) 21:04, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It should be all the way on the right with {{cite}} on three lines: '{{' on top, 'cite' in the middle and '}}' on the bottom. If you look at my user page, the last userbox in the left column has a picture of it. J04n(talk page) 11:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Country of Lavey

You've just moved Lavey to Country of Lavey. Lavey's not a country, it's a parish. If you check Special:WhatLinksHere/Lavey, you'll see that there are a lot of articles linking to the parish of Lavey. The term doesn't need a disambiguation page, if there are only two uses to be disambiguated: see Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation. Please get consensus on an article's talk page before making a big change like this. The correct way to disambiguate would be to instead post a hatnote at the top of Lavey (the article about the parish) directing readers to "see also LaVey". Thanks, Empty Buffer (talk) 10:22, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Update - I've found enough other articles that justify a disambiguation page, and I've moved the parish page to its correct name and updated the template from where most of the articles were transcluding, so no further work is needed on disambiguation. Thanks, Empty Buffer (talk) 13:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Since LaVey is a last name, and not uncommon, I knew there were plenty of other pages that users might be searching for with LaVey, but do not know any off the top of my head. I knew other users would add the extra links later. Thank you for searching for them (I do not know how to use some advanced features in Misplaced Pages, and mostly only do editing). For the page I redirected, I must have read the word "county" and thought it said "country,"; I am certian I saw the actual word "country" (Or county) on the page. If not I made a mistake. Thank you for finding some more links. If Lavey is a parish then Anton LaVey is likely the more common term being searched for by 'lavey'. I believe there should be an optional script or method, after changing a page name, for "change all current links to link to the new article title," for times like this when linking those old articles to a disambiguation page would not be the best way to do it.                     ~Rayvn  16:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Non-descriptive titles by complaining people who enjoy falsification

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Black people, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Personal blogs are not reliable sources NeilN 00:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Please do not delete correct information, as you did at Black people, without citing adequate reasons why the article is too lengthy (which is the only valid reason to delete correct information that I can think of currently). Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue and take this oppurtunity to become aware of basic and obvious logic that you cannot usually prove (nor "cite") the fact that people do NOT do something, which does not change the fact that to incorrectly assert that they do is wrong. As the majority of Misplaced Pages editors live either in America or in Europe, and no such editor (nor any other human being or perhaps one exception, ever, which would become a viral news item if it were made known) has ever checked off the "Caucasian" item on a census while being black, unless it was before 1960 and done for the purpose of pretense/fraud/escaping mistreatment and known by the one doing it to be a lie.                     ~Rayvn  00:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Signature

Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that your signature ("sig") might cause problems for some readers. This is because it includes a link outside your user-space; or no link at all. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines and policy on customising signatures. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:53, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Please make sure your headline titles are within the guidelines of "basic human decency" rather then containing police-style, instigating, assaultive words such as "compliance".                     ~Rayvn  02:12, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
