There are only 2 reasons why you do what you do: | |||
Talk about a blast from the past, is a name I haven't seen in a very long time. How ya doin? — <small><span class="nowrap" style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 13:42, 26 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
1. It's indexed. It is. Most likely, for posterity, you continue because it has become the top 2 answer, when you are looking for questions. Why? | |||
::Very well. How are you? ] ] 04:45, 10 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Mediawiki. Not many people like to discuss this, but here is how it works: every edit saves a new page. We all know that. So imagine a page, as insignificant as it may be. Save it twice. It comes up on a search, maybe. Save the same edit over and over again, it gets indexed. Why, it is just one page? Have several users save it 50x. Now, according to a search engine, there are 50 revisions of that page, so the latest will come up. It's all about stats. | |||
::: Made it through another birthday, and I bitch about my health - but every day above ground eh? I miss seeing you around buddy. Hmmmm ... think maybe I might have you on Facebook, but I don't really do that too often anymore either. Anyway - it was really great seeing your sig pop up .. blast from the past and all that. You thinking of getting back to editing here? It'd be great to work with you again. MZM is still around. Lara's been busy IRL. Not sure how many of the old BRC are still hangin in there .. Evula is. Anyway .. I'm just violating the crap outta ] here, but good to touch base with you. — <small><span class="nowrap" style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 19:11, 11 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

2. I edit it because I enjoy it. | |||
:Enjoy which part? Getting indexed? Fighting vandals? Wanting to be an admin? Either way you are correct. You are fine. | |||

1. It's indexed by pure virtue. It comes up as a query most times because of SO MANY revisions. Is that your fault? No.<br /> | |||
2. But I enjoy it. So have fun with it. Please remember #1, and with that have fun. | |||
<br /><br /><br /> | |||
So what can I do?<br /><br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Nothing, because indexing is everything. No matter how many vandals you 'fight,' nor how many articles you start, it gets indexed by the amount of edits. | |||

When you take the most widely accredited source on the Internet, and call it reliable, it may be time to actually go and visit your own library. The Internet, pre-WP, was a guide. Now that WP is indexed as a top query result, use the references as your guide. As far as the article, just take it with a grain of salt. When you succeed, as I have, do not take the lower court as a good precedent, but look towards the end game - or the final outcome. WP is A source, but not the SOURCE, because you have millions of people, working for free, for a boss they have never met, and regardless if they have cited sources, they may not interpret them as well as the true ORIGINAL dissertation. | |||

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of 88 Precepts
The article 88 Precepts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rathfelder (talk) 21:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of 88 Precepts
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on 88 Precepts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
