Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! -- Ragib 2 July 2005 05:44 (UTC)

Hello! Please add more to your articles beyond simple, incomplete sentences. These are generally deleted immediately for lack of content. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 4 July 2005 07:04 (UTC)

You got it. All too often, articles like these get written and then forgotten. Have fun and thanks for the note! - Lucky 6.9 4 July 2005 07:08 (UTC)

Apostasy in Islam

Hi, I consider this edit to meet the description of Misplaced Pages:Vandalism, i.e. an indisputably bad-faith addition, deletion, or change to content. I can understand that you are upset at the harm caused to innocent people around the world by fundamentalism Muslims (and I personally sympathize with it - I was supposed to fly on 9/11), but that's no excuse for this. Pull this kind of stunt again, and you'll be on an enforced Wikibreak for vandalism. Noel (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

You are being blocked from editing for 24 hours for this edit to Islamist terrorism. Next time, it will be considerably longer. Noel (talk) 05:09, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Misplaced Pages. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heraclius (talk • contribs) 04:54, 31 July 2005


Existentializer

Just for your information: Existentializer banned for "suspicion" based on someone's vandalizing his user page. This is way out of line. Ni-ju-Ichi 05:18, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Enviroknot was banned from editing by the arbitration committee - Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/KaintheScion et al. - use of sockpuppets to get around this is explicitely forbidden. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 19:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Also note that both Existentializer and Ni-ju-Ichi have been confirmed as sockpuppets of Enviroknot by David Gerard, a developer of the Misplaced Pages code, who is permitted to use IP checking to determine this - i.e. they use the same IP or the same password, or both. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 19:06, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
