:I blocked Janicejohnson11 because I ran across two other accounts that were spamming the same thing or similar things: Janicejohnson1 and Liposuctionbeverlyhills. The random first name, lower case last name, with a number and no spaces is a pattern that I've noticed lately with the spammers. Like Scotkaiser95, Stellamercer 9, and Joannawinston919.

] '''Miscellaneous'''
Hello, I'm new to the author side of Misplaced Pages and I attempted to add an external link to the Wiki page for the game Darkspore. I'm the author of a video game review blog that was created with the sole purpose of providing 'gamers' with information I've collected through playing a particular game. In short, I like to think of my reviews first and foremost as a resource for others to use in order to learn more about a game before they decide whether or not to buy it for themselves. I believe my edit was promptly deleted on the grounds that it was made purely in the spirit of self-promotion, which is certainly not the case as my identity remains on anonymous on my blog as well as on Misplaced Pages. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to clear up the matter or if my personal resource just isn't acceptable. Thank you very much.

My name is Jonathan Obar ], I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Misplaced Pages administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community ], were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
* Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
* Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
* All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
* All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
* The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

== Hi Thank you for the "Welcome" and I do have a quick question ... I'm very new to this sorry! ==
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">


] '''Administrator changes'''
I'm interested in electronic music and I like and follow the artist "Pepper MaShay". In one of Pepper's recent Twitter's she sent out to all her fans, she mentioned that her next single "A Little Closer" will be coming out soon on a U.S. Label called "Psychedelic Records". I was curious about this record company and searched on Misplaced Pages, but I didn't see it listed in the "P" section under record labels. So I did some more research on Google, Discogs, and iTunes, and found out this record label has a website and it has been around since at least 2001. I also found out they released another of Pepper MaShay's songs called "Beauty Shop" which was the theme song for the Queen Latifah movie "Beauty Shop" release by MGM Studios (seems like they have some pretty "major" stuff going on anyways) ... so if this record lable has been in existence for over a decade and is doing all this big time stuff I figured there should be a Wiki article or at least a Wiki link in the "P" section under record labels by this point?
:] ]


] '''Interface administrator changes'''
Again, I'm very new to this "editing" so I apologize for my lack of experience in these matters, I'm not quite sure what are the proper requirements for including a record label article on Misplaced Pages. Can you tell me how do I properly submit this record label for a possible Wiki article?
:] ]


</div>
I don't think I should write the article because I'm so new to this. So I'm wondering, is there a way I can send a "request" to someone on Misplaced Pages who could start an article about this particular record label?

I am wondering if it would not be more accurate to also split the PowerDNS line in the comparision chart into one PowerDNS and one PowerDNS Recursor line - the same way as for Example Nominum CNS and Nominum Vantio are split.

At the same time this differences between the authoritative PowerDNS and the PowerDNS Recursor should be marked up accurately, for example that the latter does not support DNSSEC wheras PowerDNS does.

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
