Hi Back

Thanks for your note. Working on aircraft articles is one of my specialties here on Misplaced Pages. With over 3 million articles on Misplaced Pages right now it helps to narrow the field down a bit!- Ahunt (talk) 20:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: ?

Well, related to typography, there are several articles and images missing. You can see all the red links in List of fonts, and blank spaces (where there should be an image) in Samples of serif typefaces or Samples of display typefaces or Samples of script typefaces, etc... The goal of the collaboration is to upgrade and improve all those things. If you go to the collaboration page, you will find further information and open tasks as well as instructions about all this. That´s basically all.
This is a personal request for help in a task here in wikipedia. If you´re interested in collaborate, go ahead! - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 20:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I was absent for some minutes... don´t worry about it, it will be developed over time, it´s just that it´s still too short to be even a stub. You can search for more information in one of the references I posted in the collaboration page. - ☩Damërung ☩. -- 21:22, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hobo (font)

Hi, I tried to fix the article a bit to adhere to the style of other typeface articles. If you want you can fill in the rest of the template. Jarkeld (talk) 21:11, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

October 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Barack Obama. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

I did clearly discuss why some trivial bits should not be in the article. The removed parts were a few sentences of laws that President Obama did not actively campaign for or make it a signature issue. If these are included, the article ceases to be "Barack Obama" but becomes "The World during President Obama's Life" Hi Balloon Boy (talk) 02:44, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Because you deleted the cited content before first discussing it and seeking a consensus for such a drastic change, I restored it. Following your comment on the article talk page, I replied with my reasons for restoring the content. -- Scjessey (talk) 02:45, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Please self-revert. You have removed a large amount of cited content without seeking a consensus for doing so. By doing it a second time, you have basically performed an act of vandalism. Failure to do so in a timely manner will lead to a formal warning. -- Scjessey (talk) 02:51, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
