| Curious. On your page, you state that "Articles should go through at least one mandatory check before being publicly posted as a Misplaced Pages article." Who would be in charge of this checking, and by which authority would it be checked? --] 04:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Maybe two or three Wikipedians should have to tick a box to approve an edit before it's applied. If an article is on your watchlist, it would also subscribe you to edit requests for that article. Maybe voters would have to be elected before they could approve or disapprove an edit. Edits wouldn't have to be checked as though they were to be published in a real encyclopedia or conventional media. This is just to prevent some of the more blatant inaccuracies and vandalism. | |||
| :Basically, I'd like to see Misplaced Pages take it to the next level, were at least obvious vandalism doesn't have a chance. I recently reverted weeks-old vandalism from some article. No excuse for that. ] 05:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Help on links can be found ]. For example, to link to your Talk page you would enter <nowiki>]</nowiki>, or to link to a particular section enter <nowiki>]</nowiki>.

| :I thought I tried that and it didn't work, but it works now. Not sure what I did the first time. Maybe I used single brackets. Thanks. | |||
| :And that's another thing, a " | " should be the separator between the link and the text for outside links AND Misplaced Pages links. I think a space is currently used for outside links. And they should all use single brackets. ] 02:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Article organization == | |||
| On your user page you said, "It should be Misplaced Pages policy that, if feasible, each writeup of a particular product that's distinguished by brand or author, especially if it or competing products of other brands or authors might be commercial products, be included in the single broader, most closely related article as opposed to being given its own article." This thinking could turn Misplaced Pages into one big article, rather using ], ] (''aka'' ]), and working to limit ] to create small useful articles. According to ], "Obscure content isn't harmful." So, as long as a product is ] and the article on it is ] then the page should exist and be linked to from related articles and competing products. | |||
| Maybe I'm not understanding you, but are you asking that ], ] and ] be merged? | |||
| Regardless, your ideas might be relevant to the discussion at ] or even ]. --] 17:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for those links. I didn't have a chance to follow them yet. I had MS Windows and competitors in mind when I added the phrase "if feasible." Something more descriptive would be better. | |||
| : Obscure content may not be harmful, but stubs are too short. It's easier for the researcher when related information is on one page, assuming the page loads in a reasonable amount of time. I think one recommendation is about 8 seconds for dial-up users. | |||
| : Who's going to put an article about minor, bad software on their watch list? It would be a vandalism magnet and an invitation to lie about your product. | |||

| Hi Barry. Just wanted to say hello, and good work on the timeline page. I had unlinked the headers for the US because, as a general rule, only the first instance of a name is linked in an article.

| :Thanks, B&C. I thought you unlinked them because you thought all of the titles should be unlinked. If a new country is added and its heading is linked, and right above it you see a United States heading that isn't, it wouldn't look right. I'll take advantage of the "as a general rule" provision and link them all. ] 00:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chickenpants.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Chickenpants.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Misplaced Pages use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Misplaced Pages under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.
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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
