== Welcome! ==

Hi there! ] to Misplaced Pages! This is Akamad from the IRC channel. I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at ] to introduce yourself.

A few tips before you start doing a lot of editing:

*A few basic ]: Try to write from a ], ], and use ].

*A handy page for newcomers is the ]. The ] also gives a lot of basic info that will help get you oriented on Misplaced Pages. If you have any other questions about the project then check out ] or ].

*When you post something on a talk/discussion page, you can sign your name by using three tildes (<nowiki>" ~~~ ") for your username and four (" ~~~~ ") for your username and a timestamp.</nowiki>

*Remember to provide an ] when editing.

*If you ever find yourself with nothing to do on Misplaced Pages, have a look at the ], you'll find that there's always something happening.

If you have any questions, comments, or just want to say hi, don't hesitate to write to me on my ] and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy editing and have a great day! :-) ] 03:15, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


== Sorry about that... ==

*I just had to be sure that some soul on the Internet would care about the page. Thanks for the reversion. ] 04:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

When ] there is a small field labelled "]" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

:]

The text written here will appear on the ] page, in the ], on the ], and in the ] of users who are watching that article. See ] for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for ] and may be ], so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Furthermore, take a look at the bottom of my user page for some useful vandal-warning templates. This will save you time as an RC patroller, and it will generalize your warnings to what the community consensus has decided they should be. Thanks for the contributions, though, and please don't hesitate to ask me anything at any time. ] (] | ]) ] ] 05:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

==Allan Eagleson==
Hey there--my changes weren't vandalism, but simply expanding the article with new information. It's all referenced. ] 06:01, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:Hey, 5aret. Everyone makes mistakes early on, but you can learn from them. Before you revert a page, you should make sure that it is ]. Furthermore, when you add a comment to a user's talk page, add it to the bottom of the page and not to the top. Thanks, and please read some of the information on vandalism. Also, don't hesitate to ask me questions when you are unsure of how to proceed in any situation. I will most likely get back to you immediately, or if I am not online, then within a day or so. ] (] | ]) ] ] 06:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:p.s. I just realized you blanked a part of your talk page. It is considered bad form to blank the contents of your Talk page. The contents should be left intact so that other users may see any issues being discussed. This prevents them from having to cover the issue again or seeing any resolutions that have been reached. When a Talk page gets too long, it can be archived, but it shoud never be deleted permanently. This doesn't apply to vandalism, of course. Peace. :-) ] (] | ]) ] ] 06:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I have read all of the vandilism articles. I know what vandilism is. Dont worry about that. I dont understand how you can say you expanded an article when you just deleted most of it. ] 06:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:Please don't think I was implying that you are ignorant; I am only trying to help you get acclimated to the tough restrictions of CVU activities as I wish someone had done for me early on. The article in question had an {{tl|unreferenced}} tag on it. ] found a respectable article on the subject and rewrote a lot of the information based on that article in accordance with ]. If you disagree with the reliability of the source or the paraphrasing he did on Misplaced Pages with reference to that information, then please discuss it on the talk page of the article. Remember, I completely understand if you make mistakes early on, but realize that I am here to help you become a good member of CVU or any other part of Misplaced Pages. Thanks, ] (] | ]) ] ] 06:24, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Well I will be back later. ] 06:28, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== Blanking ==

If I blanked a page, it was accidental. I was fixing vandalism in the history section of the Ford article. I am relatively new to Misplaced Pages. Sorry for the inconvenience.

:Hey, 5aret. The was done by ]. This user . I'm sorry I'm hounding your talk page like this, but you really need to be more careful with your warnings to other users and your reversions as your revert actually put the vandalism back on the page (even though you did it accidentally). ] (] | ]) ] ] 06:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
::I'd really like to second this. I don't think my comment was taken very seriously, in being deleted. 5aret, you should try to be more careful and pay more attention to the details, rather than making a lot of edits which are not helpful. I almost wonder if you're trolling given the userbox about doing no wrong. --] 06:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, those boxes are not to be taken seriously. No one is perfect. ] 19:17, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

=="Freethinking" blanking==
I tried to see if I could just remove the article altogether by deleting everything. Nor did I know there was another way to do it. Another Wikipedian and I were discussing the page and he pointed out that "freethinking" is just skepticism under another name. Thus there's no need for the article. -] 19:22, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Please see wikipedias deletion policy. Thank you.] 19:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

:Can you please tell me where I can find a list of the kind of icons that you use in your profile? -]

Sure.You mean userboxes? http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Userboxes#Existing_Userboxes
] 19:58, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you. -]

== Hi ==

Are you kidding? Considering all the crazy stuff Ive seen in there, the things I put in there are mild. Ive read numerous times that with the exception of really nasty swearing, dumping loads of text, or slander there is no vandalism of the sandbox.

Respectfully,] 19:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

== Marriage ==

You say a marriage consists of one man and one woman. Do lots of people disagree and say some marriages consist of two men and one woman or two women and one man?? ] 19:38, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

==Regarding various userpages==

This is regarding the userpage of ''']''' and ''']'''. Please don't edit their userpages, but use the talkpage instead. I also saw you warned Shut up... about adding nonsense to the ]. This is allowed, and the sandbox is automaticly emptied every 12th hour. ] - ] 22:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

== Your question about templates ==

I don't know if the first answer on the help desk page was what you were looking for or not. If what were were asking about was example pages, not Misplaced Pages templates for stuff like deletions you might want to go back and look at my answer, If not, I apologize for disturbing you.--]] 22:17, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

No you answered my question. Thank you! Happy editing, ] 22:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

==Blanking your Talk page==
It is considered very poor form to remove user comments from your talk page. Many users have expressed similar views on your page, and yet you have continued to remove them even after being cautioned on doing so in the past. ] 04:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

I guess it would be considered even worse form to blank a notice about blanking your talk page. ]

Welcome, {{PAGENAME}}, to ], the ] member association! As you might know, all the ] share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the ], the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the ] or you may be interested in some of our ]. A quite important program is the ], which seeks to support ] from their Misplaced Pages events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. ] runs the spam to keep members up to date. Also, we have a ] of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at ].

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, ], and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of ], ], ], and ]. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by ] or ] or the ]. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Misplaced Pages a better place to work!

Please leave any messages at the bottom of the page, and start a new section unless you are adding to an already-existing conversation. Also, consider signing your comments, and linking to articles if you are commenting on an edit I made that you didn't (or did) like. Unsigned, anonymous comments may be ignored at the discretion of the management. Thanks!
