	Great! Thank you for your time and your work. I know I uploaded before proof-reading, but I wanted to take the space of that article before someone else, because I already invested a lot of time. Additional proof-readings by 2 people for factual errors and better English will take place though - although English probably cannot be improved after your corrections ;). Last week a friend who teaches English literature at the University came with quite some corrections on the ] article - mainly prepositions.

			] '''CheckUser changes'''
	As you might have noticed my mother-tongue is German and I use it in a more secure way than English. For instance the chapter "Texte" in this is completely written by me. However, IMO overall quality of English Misplaced Pages is better and it is more of a challenge to me.

	The next article/s? I guess I have to change the red links into blue ones ;). In other words: fill gaps. The very next article will be "Rae Technologies", the (in Misplaced Pages) missing link between Apple and NetObjects. I will run into problems there, because most of the sources on "Rae" lie buried down in print archives. Accessible material will do for a short article, which will easily get tagged with a stub-banner. On the other hand original research - which I could do in this case - is not allowed which I see as one of the problems of Misplaced Pages. --] 08:12, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

			== Administrators' newsletter – March 2024 ==
	Hello,
	I am new to Misplaced Pages and have added some links to bank pages on Misplaced Pages. You commented that the links were in violation of the external link policy. The website to which I have linked, myBank.com, provides listings for every branch in the U.S., free of charge.

			] from the past month (February 2024).
	As I understand the policy, the links satisfy multiple categories of proper Misplaced Pages links. Specifically, the links, which link directly to branches of banks with Misplaced Pages pages, provide "neutral and accurate material" and "meaningful, relevant content". Moreover, there is no attempt to profit from the user. The website does not require registration or include advertising. And, the site is accessible, useful, and tasteful. The data is correct, is based on FDIC data, and is updated to ensure its substantive longevity. Furthermore, in an attempt to be a good Misplaced Pages "citizen", (1) the links I included ''directly'' link to the relevant bank's branches (thereafter, a user can narrow the list as desired); and (2) I have always put these links ''after'' the official link of the bank. Finally, I thought I was being helpful by making the link very clear: "Find this bank's branches on myBank.com."

			{{Col-begin}}
	I welcome your feedback, as I have every intention of being a good wikipedia "citizen". {{unsigned\|24.208.193.24}}
			{{Col-2}}

	:The problem with your added links is that it provides no additional content that the official bank sites do not already provide. While I applaud your wanting to contribute to Misplaced Pages, I don't think this was a proper addition. -- ] 04:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

	==Premarital Sex Merge==
	According to the Misplaced Pages rules:
	<blockquote>Merging is something any editor can do, and if you are sure that something should be merged, you can be bold and do so. If the merge is controversial, however, you may find your merge reverted, and as with all other edits, edit wars should be avoided.</blockquote>

			] from the past month (June 2024).
	<blockquote>If you are uncertain of the merger's appropriateness, you should propose it on the affected pages. After sufficient time has elapsed to generate consensus or silence (at least 5 days), you may perform the merger or request that someone else do so.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages#How_to_merge_pages</ref></blockquote>

			]
	The last comment was in September which means the discussion has been in silence for "at least 5 days". All the information on the page was referring to topics discussed in the article "fornication" and both fornication and premarital sex used the practically the same definition:

	== User 60.226.214.5 ==

	I just noticed you warned this anonymous editor awhile back. I added an identical warning just now (except it was a different page - ]) for adding a promotion that is drug afflicted (the user ignored my previous revert and reference to the talk page). On this occasion that I just reverted they also added a link to a local promotional site which is dangerously biased. It is possible judging by the location of the IP that the external link addition may have been vanity based (that is - it could be one of the three owners). Might be an idea to keep an eye on this IP. With the edit on the ] page already against them they may be facing a block but I haven't added it just yet. ] 21:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
	:I don't know about that (what you said on my talk page). The edits on ] were almost identical. As in the promotion being added. It could be two different people, but that fits because two of three owners of the website that was added are a couple. It can't be the third (unless he's changed his ISP). I'm really keen to protect Misplaced Pages from an Adelaide based political wrestling war, and adding these links and promotions don't help. That's why I removed them to begin with. It's a potentially nasty situation because there are some complete idiots on the scene in Adelaide. ] 06:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Now, to be honest, I've dealt with this guy since this past summer. I disagreed with an entry of his and edited it. He reverts it back and calls it a conspiracy.

	They were recently (and intentionally since I created them) put up for AfD by a confirmed abusive sockpuppet. After the sockpuppet was blocked, the afds were removed. However since some valid points of notability were made, I wonder if these should at least be changed into redirects. (The two other members seem to have enough going for them in terms of notability.) Personally I think they all should remain though my view is biased after the sockpuppet, so I'd like a third party to decide for me. -] 22:20, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
	:Does the band at least meet the requirements? I know it is bare bones, but I've seen other bands that have been just as small as them on here that haven't been contested. (Though granted those have appeared on charts.) I do know of one chart they did hit, but unfortunately there's no record of that so it'd my saying it would probably be considered original research. I pretty much started this article after asking ] if it seemed notable. He said he was surprised there ''wasn't'' an article on them, and he hates non-notable band articles.

	== Image Copyright ==
	I don't know what to do. I flagged an image for copyright violation, no admin is deleting it and the users of the photo continue to re-include it in their articles. Would you please investigate this issue. ] ] 06:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

	:The thing with this image, as I understand it, is that an editor received an email stating that this photograph was free to use for any purpose, and then pasted that email on the image description page. This isn't what is supposed to happen -- such emails should go to permissions AT wikimedia.org, where we archive them, and a member of the OTRS team tags the image as confirmed. That said, the last time I got involved with the image issue at the ] article it was unpleasant enough that I'd rather address just about any other image copyright issue than that one. If we are going to revisit that image issue again, and, yes, technically we probably should, I really suggest that some other admin do it. ] 02:17, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
