Mac interface
I use a mac computer with screen resolution 896x600 (to avoid eye strain). In Firefox's preferences I have the default font set to Times 24 which gives me good viewing of most web sites. I'm having trouble with viewing Misplaced Pages on this setup and in particular with editing on it. I would like to upload screenshots for you but can't work out how.
Some print is uncomfortably small and even so illegible that I have to copy and paste to another application before I can decipher it. I could increase the text size in Firefox but other text on the same page is already huge and such an increase either a) crowds the small text out into a narrow column, as in editing panes, or b) results in text from one part of the same page overlaid on another part so that neither is legible, as in Misplaced Pages:Tips. The crowding problem (a) is so inconvenient that I am finding copying and pasting between the browser and a text editor easier but this is surely not how things need to be!
Any suggestions, commisserations, solace would be most welcome.

- I'm unsure if the following would help you, but if you hold onto the Control Key (Ctrl) and then scroll down, the text should be bigger. If not, go to your preferences located at Special:Preferences, click on the Skin Tab, and try changing that. If that doesn't work, go to the Preferences again at Special:Preferences and then click on the Files Tab, and have a go with changing around the options there. I hope this helps!

Re: unneeded reverts
Hi Moonsell and thanks for bringing this up :-) I am sorry if I reverted any of your good faith edits. Go ahead and put it back, I will keep myself away :-) On wikipedia, editors usually communicate via talk pages (as you can see all editors have a talk link near their name, click on it if you want to communicate. Instructions on how to leave a new message are usually present on the page) :-) P.S. I have now removed the warnings from your talk page :-) Cheers, AVandcontribs 12:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Many edits
Hi Moonsell - great job on the Tibetan Buddhism article. However, can I ask you to try to compact your edits a bit? Over a period of two days this month (for less than an hour each day) you made 28 separate edits to the same article. Every time you click the Save page button, the Misplaced Pages software saves an entire new copy of the page with all its text and formatting to the servers - not just the bits you changed. So over those two days, that one article was duplicated twenty eight times, with only minor changes each time. If you want to make several changes, you can do them all in the same edit - you don't have to do them separately at all, in fact for space reasons we actively encourage taking a long time over one edit to get everything right, rather than making lots of small ones. This isn't a warning, or me getting angry or anything like that - in fact, it's only a request, you can keep making multiple edits if you really have to. It's just better organisationally if you combine everything into one. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure where to put this for you, Greg. Thanks for the comment alerting me to the saving page many times problem. The main thing that limita me for the future about it are if I put too many edits in one save they all get trashed with a single revert on the basis to an objection to one of them. Also there is human fallability, that I can't always be organised enough to get the job done right in one (or sometimes, even a few) goes. I'll try to keep your suggestion in mind, though and make an effort to use the sandbox to avoid having to do the same job too many times. Best wishes. Moonsell (talk) 09:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- If someone objects to the content, they don't have to revert the whole lot - they can just remove one sentence. Or conversely, if someone reverts your edit, you can revert or undo all of that - except for one sentence - then discuss on the talk page. Beware of reverting too often though. The history tab and diffs are incredible things. Oh, and the best place to put messages for other users is on their User talk page - which is always at User talk:Someone, so for instance yours is User talk:Moonsell (that link doesn't work because it points to this same page) and mine is User talk:Vanderdecken. User pages (like yours, User:Moonsell) are for putting information about yourself. Why don't you go and create yours now? —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Use of citations

Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for your useful - and cited! - deletion of inaccurate material on Vajrayana... there's much on that page that is somewhat inaccurate so if there's anything else you could contribute it'd be very welcome Dakinijones (talk) 13:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Glad you liked it, Dakinijones. Otherwise, the Vajrayana page looks quite mature and I don't know that much about it, but will keep your invite in mind.Moonsell (talk) 19:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
The never-ending story about Shugden
Hi, I'm just starting another attempt to stop the NKT people from 'taking over' the Misplaced Pages with their continuous edit-war to promote the Shugden practice. If you agree, please leave a note at Administrators noticeboard. rudy (talk) 13:38, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Tibetan Buddhism
I came to Misplaced Pages seeing to read up on some information about how Tibetian monks perform their great physical feats and the training they undergo. I was disappointed by the lack of any information in that article. I noticed on the talk page you asked if there was anything that could be added to the article. There's something.

Human Rights in Tibet
Thanks for the tip. I am surprised there is no article on Human Rights in Tibet. Do you know why that is? HRW and Amnesty have done reports on this topic. Zujine (talk) 13:15, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- No. I can't say. Moonsell (talk) 12:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would like to start one, or at least start working towards one. Zujine (talk) 15:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Outline of Tibet has a red link to it already under "Law and order in Tibet". I don't know enough about it and don't have sources at hand, so can't help much to start it but could help maintain it and clean it up. Moonsell (talk) 20:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Law and order in Tibet is different from human rights issues in Tibet. The former may bring about the latter, but I'm suspicious about whose interests are served by the use of euphemisms like that.Zujine (talk) 12:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Tibetan Languages
- The Tibetan language family is as varied as the Romance family. Linguistic works on Tibetan languages refer to them as such. This article does not need to be changed. Tibetologist (talk) 14:16, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Need help with formatting
I'm having trouble with formatting on the Talk page for Tibetan Buddhism: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Tibetan_Buddhism. Someone wrote the following near the end:
"You can flag it with a "citation needed" template which may take an "expert" awhile to get around to. See Esoteric_transmission#Secrecy. Called "secret", so there is likely no reference. Perhaps hooey?" [User's failed attempt to attach a signature follows.
That seems to have broken something in Misplaced Pages. My subsequent stuff below that is formatted in a way that doesn't work. I've tried many things to fix this, but the only way that works (in a sandbox) is to delete the other contributer's entire comment. Is there a way to avoid this?
If you can fix it, please let me know how you did it, in case it happens again.
Moonsell (talk) 02:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Moonsell. The other user added a
<nowiki>tag, but did not add the corresponding</nowiki>tag to resume the wiki mark-up. So the rest of the page had its formatting removed. I added the closing</nowiki>and faked out the rest of the information on the signatures of the conversing editors. -- Dianna (talk) 03:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Help please with new articles from old sections
| This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page. |
I've been working on the Tibetan Buddhism article. It is long and needs to be shortened. There are parts that are too highly specialised to be of interest to the general reader, but also too short to be of use to the more inquiring reader.
As I've already outlined on the Talk page there some time ago, I would like to spin these and maybe others off into new articles all of their own, which would then be more amenable to amplification, and link to them in this, the main article. The link could be in a "See also...". No-one has commented on this on the Talk page, but it is a very old issue that has been discussed with this article in archived Talk too. It seems, no-one knows what to do about it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for moving certain sections only (not the whole page) to new articles, where to put the "See also..." and how to format?
Moonsell (talk) 19:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- See Misplaced Pages:Splitting. I've also moved the request template into the same section where it should be so that responders can answer & acknowledge it without having to edit the page or make them separate actions. Dru of Id (talk) 20:05, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
The Tibetan Buddhism article is rather short. I don't see how you consider it a long article in any way, shape or form. Merigar (talk) 22:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Misplaced Pages. However, please remember that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on ]. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content.VictoriaGrayson 04:26, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles as you did at Tibetan Buddhism by reverting several editors. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive.VictoriaGrayson 06:19, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Please see
Please see my reply on the Tibetan Buddhism talk page.VictoriaGrayson 00:07, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.VictoriaGrayson 21:08, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
