| Misplaced Pages and it's editors and administrators are not interested in creating something useful or promoting knowlege. For them Misplaced Pages is no different from Myspace but instead of collecting friends, the object is to collect edits. The more edits you do, the more likely you are to be nominated for Adminstrator where you will have even more power. The easiest way to collect edits is to find new articles that are flawed and nominate them for deletion. Do not waste time improving an article. Just nominate it for deletion and move on. Having your signature appear once in 1000 articles is more valuable than having your signature in one article 1000 times. I repeat, do not waste time improving a developing article or providing constructive criticism. Nobody is here to teach or learn.--] 14:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Misplaced Pages. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Billy Mays. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want.

Emmett Till
I routinely revert deletions made without explanation by anons. In the future, please give a reason for your edits and they'll be less likely to be mistaken for vandalism. As of the edit itself, I'm not a fan of "cultural mentions". But if, for example, a book or a song is written about Till then that seems like an appropriate thing to include, unlike a passing mention in a song. You deleted both. I'm not going to revert the deletion, but I suggest you review the list and make sure that the items are all held to a comon standard. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 00:59, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Pittsburgh event for Misplaced Pages's tenth anniversary
Hi! Since you're a member of WikiProject Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Misplaced Pages Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Misplaced Pages workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Misplaced Pages t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity
Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussion at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active. If you could go to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and move your name from inactive to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:56, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
