| *Hi Americanlinguist. There does not seem to be a clear basis for the on the ] artcle. The article did not meet the description at ], so it likely was a mistake. The Scalar implicature article was tagged by people who watch . Typically, the new pages are . A reason for this is how it makes people feel seeing their new article tagged so quickly. The Scalar implicature page seems to have been patrolled from the front of the unpatrolled backlog. It seems that it was well menaning, but could have been handled better. Everyone is a volunteer here, and many mistakes are made. I hope this does not sour your interest in contributing to Misplaced Pages. To find like minded Wikipedians, you might want to consider visiting ]. -- ] ] 15:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi; just wanted to clarify that for practical purposes there is a good bit of leeway in the Misplaced Pages rules when it comes to noncontroversial topics. As long as you're describing accepted mainstream views, rather than original ideas, you should feel free to explain them in the way you think works best. ] (]) 16:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == Starting draft pages in your own namespace == | |||
| Hello, in case you didn't know, when you create a complicated or long article you don't have to create it in the main namespace (article namespace) immediately. Instead, you can create a ''draft'' as a subpage in your own namespace (user namespace), then work on it for some time while being sure that nobody else is going to interfere with it. After it is more or less presentable, you can ] it into main namespace. Subpages are separated by a slash "/" from their "parent" page (in your case ]). So, if you want to start a draft article on "FooBar", the easiest way is simply to type "User:Americanlinguist/FooBar" into the search box; you'll be presented with a message "Misplaced Pages does not have a user page with this exact name", and below there'll be an option to "Start the User:Americanlinguist/FooBar page". Just click on that and start writing! You can keep the draft for some time. After it is more or less in good shape, don't forget to move it into the main namespace! | |||
| Please see ] for more on subpages. | |||

| *I was just about to suggest the same. It really works and helps avoid nasty comments. Although it shouldn't have happened, you should understand that new page patrollers have to go through literally thousands of edits a day. It's simply unavoidable for them not to make mistakes. Perhaps the speedy deletion tag should not contain the word nonsense... - ]|] 12:47, 27 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == A voice of experience == | |||
| The first new article that I ever created, before I even created an account, was nominated for deletion. I'm still here some … cough … time later. Don't worry. Cite sources copiously, make using ] a habit, and you'll find that your time here will go with considerably less incident. Have a look at ].<p>We also have ] so that your citations will automatically be formatted in the Misplaced Pages house style, by the way. ] (]) 17:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == greetings, some people are curious about you == | |||
| On Misplaced Pages Review, some people with an interest in linguistics are discussing your recent appearance on Misplaced Pages. Some of the users there are experienced Misplaced Pages editors. You might find it helpful to ask for help there, it's safer than getting into edit wars on-wiki (as I see you already have). Please create a user account there and say hello. Thanks. --] (]) 17:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : That's very interesting, but how do they know I don't already have an account at Misplaced Pages Review? But then, why would I have an account at Misplaced Pages Review when I have only just joined Misplaced Pages? Very puzzling I must think this one through. ] (]) 19:49, 28 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::<s>If you had already posted at WR, then people would have recognized your style already. Also, there are some stinging rules for making an account, like not being able to use a email from a free service unless you have a compelling reason to use one, in which case you will need to explain the reason. --] (]) 08:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)</s> Lol, forget it, I just read the latest post at the relevant WR thread. --] (]) 19:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| == XLinkBot alert for ] == | |||
| Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page ] has been reverted. Your edit was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove ] and ] from Misplaced Pages. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages. The external links I reverted were matching the following ]: rule: 'members\.aol\.com' (link(s): http://members.aol.com/NeoNoetics/Nagel_Bat.html) . | |||
| If you were trying to insert an ] that does comply with our ] and ], then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Misplaced Pages's ] for more information, and consult my ]. For more information about me, see ]. Thanks! ] (]) 21:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :The bots are fun to work around, arnt they? one scared the pants off me just recently; see ] for the details of my inquiry into that warning. Ultimately, the bots do work that humans neglect to do, for good or ill. Any chance you have come across scans of the first issue of the ], or scans of other notable articles that are in the Public domain? (pre-1923 are all PD; pre-1964 ''might'' be PD but it takes a bit more work to prove it) If so, we have a ] sub-project. <span style="font-variant:small-caps">] <sup>'''(])'''</sup></span> 01:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: It was the bit about 'my creator' that was somewhat unnerving. What would you liked scanned in of the first issue? Front page? ] (]) 19:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::: An image of the front page would be good the Misplaced Pages article, however ... pagescans of the entire issue is more what I had in mind, ... :-) It may already be scanned on JSTOR or Google Books. <span style="font-variant:small-caps">] <sup>'''(])'''</sup></span> 19:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::: Thanks - I don't have access to a scanner unfortunately (at least, have never been able to work one). I do have many images though. ] (]) 09:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
