Orphaned non-free image File:OvertureEngraverDialogBox.png

Thanks for uploading File:OvertureEngraverDialogBox.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Disambiguation link notification for June 13

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 05:53, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment on Talk:Leading-tone. Compliments and thanks seem far more rare on Misplaced Pages than empty criticism (such as when the only comment on the talk page reads: "This article sucks, like it was written by an idiot I don't understand at all," from an IP address with no suggestion as to improvement or even criticism of specifics). There is the automated "thanks" button, but that feels too easy (I'm glad there's not an automatic "shame on you" button). I fixed the link to "Tonic" in the lead to "Subtonic". Hyacinth (talk) 10:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks: great to meet you :) Hyacinth Yes, when one is editing an article on music theory, the last thing that pops into your head is that a link to the article on the home note of a key will end up pointing to an article on health drinks! :)

I agree, often we put in a lot of work on something, and it just gets rolled back! :( Fh1 (talk) 11:22, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Babylon 5 episodes

Hey, regarding your Babylon 5 episode articles. There are some formatting issues that I noticed at Soul Hunter (Babylon 5) and now also at Infection (Babylon 5). Double and single quotes should use " and ' and not other characters. The citations should ideally use a template (such as {{Cite web}}) and not be manually entered as it offers better support. The infobox has a few issues but the main thing is don't forget to link the series there. I've fixed what I saw, but for future articles it would help if you can take care of them. Thanks! Gonnym (talk) 09:04, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi glad to see there's another human being out there! It's a lot of work trying to restore/re-write those articles :) My word processor app I'm writing on automatically changes quotes into curly quotes, and I've been trying to correct them manually afterwards, but sometimes it takes a while.

I'll have a look at {{cite web}}: Empty citation (help), do you know if it handles ref names? Fh1 (talk) 10:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Vitamin P (disambiguation)

Hello, Fh1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Vitamin P".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 03:46, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
