Recent edit to ShopRite (United States)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that you made a change to an article, ShopRite (United States), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Nomination of Sports Heroes for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sports Heroes is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sports Heroes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. - MrX 12:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rex Gene Foods, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shoprite (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:50, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Russell Peters because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

"your latest edit"

You may want to specify what edit (or at least the page edited) you're talking about, so that others who see the user talk page can review to see what you're talking about. Bardonrab (talk) 21:03, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for making the change. I didn't think you came off as mean; I just wanted to make sure that the message gave useful information to other editors. Bardonrab (talk) 21:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Guerillero, which editor was JaJa0N11 a WP:Sock of? Bardonrab (talk · contribs) was recently blocked as a WP:Sock; see my talk page for further detail. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 06:55, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Note: Guerillero answered on my talk page. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:01, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Comment

I don't think you are a piece of garbage, just that you need to take more care in reverting edits as vandalism. Making mistakes is fine as long as you recognize them and change. I might suggest reviewing some of the link that were posted in your welcome at the top of this page; if you need further assistance, there are ways to seek it. 331dot (talk) 17:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Thats fine

thats fine about sources. Just one thing. how do you tag users? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winterysteppe (talk • contribs) 21:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Your warning of User:Editor For Misplaced Pages

Hi TypingInTheSky, I noticed the warning you gave, and I think your warning isn't really correct. I don't see anything in Misplaced Pages:Username policy that prohibits having "Misplaced Pages" in usernames. The username doesn't seem to me to be promotional or misleading, and they do not seem to be claiming to be anyone official. Plus, they only made the one edit, so I don't think a second warning is warranted yet. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 00:19, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@Howicus: This portion of the policy states that "Usernames including phrases such as "wikipedia", "wikimedia", "wiktionary", "(WMF)", or similar if they give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or one of its projects" are not permitted; in this case, "Editor for Misplaced Pages" suggests that the user has some sort of official capacity on Misplaced Pages, an "editor for" the site. 331dot (talk) 01:18, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Alright, I see where you two are coming from. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:18, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

• I will say to TypingInTheSky that their reporting of the user Andi Stafuka may have been an error; it is OK for someone to have that name if they are indeed that person; if they are editing their own article it is a conflict of interest issue and should be reported to the COI noticeboard. 331dot (talk) 01:29, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

I won't make that mistake again, thanks for the help and advice 331dot TypingInTheSky (talk) 01:43, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet that was created to violate Misplaced Pages policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. Guerillero | Parlez Moi 00:40, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure where this user was identified as a sock, they are trying to get somebody else to log into their account, which I suspect may be an attempt to associate a new IP with the account if Checkuser is run. See this reddit thread. Plantdrew (talk) 23:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

More above in the #"your latest edit" section. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 16:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
