Welcome from Redwolf24

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
• If you're ready for the complete list of Misplaced Pages documentation, there's also Misplaced Pages:Topical index.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

Hi, I moved your edits to your real userpage User:Smoove K and added a redirect to it. Yes, we actually read some userpages :) Salut. ∞Who?¿? 04:08, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Welcome!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and especially to the Wikichurch. Be sure to let us know when you have found your first vandal so that you can be "confirmed". See you around. Psy guy 19:32, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hey, thanks for letting me know about about the vandalism. Technically, this is not vandalism but POV. To fix vandalism (which is called "reverting" vandalism) click the "history" tab a the top of a vandalized page. Click the date on the last legit version of the article. That will open article in that version. Click the "edit this page" tab. Don't make any changes. Just scroll to the bottom of the page type something in the "Edit Summary" box that tells what you are doing: "revert" or just "rv" will do the job. After that just click "save". That should do it.

Also, remember to sign talk pages when you leave messages. Just type ~~~~ and the software will convert that to your username, the date and the time. Also, when linking to a page on Misplaced Pages just type ].

If you need anything else, let me know. If you want to be "confirmed" you will have to approach a priest at the wikichurch. Psy guy 00:40, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

RoboCup

Hey! Here's some information about RoboCup: yes, the competitions are usually open to the public. There may or may not be an admission fee, depending on who sets it up. I don't think it usually costs all that much. There are several competitions a year, in different regions of the world. There is a US Open, German Open, Japan Open, Latin American Open, Australian Open, as well as the world championships. Next year the world championships are in Bremen, Germany. The local competitions tend to happen in the spring (April-May) and the world championships are usually in July, though next year they are in late June. (Dates were chosen to overlap somewhat with the World Cup, also in Germany next year.)

I see you currently live in Ibaraki... unfortunately, you missed a good chance to see RoboCup locally last year: the world championships were held in Osaka. I don't know where the Japan Open will be next year; that hasn't been decided yet. But check the RoboCup webpage for more information. Colin M. 00:13, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Star Control II

Yeah, Star Control II is one of my absolute favorites. So you're living the gamer's dream, huh? Andre (talk) 13:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow! What kind of stuff? Andre (talk) 14:44, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Any chance you're still running that Japanese hobby transfer service? If you don't remember what I'm talking about, check User:Andrevan/Archive20#Star Control II. Andre (talk) 08:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Virus article

Could you please use the information on this Japanese-language page to update the English Virus article? It would be much appreciated! --AlanH 01:54, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

SmooveK Where have you been?

What's up SmooveK? Haven't seen you around SCU in awhile and was just seeing what you are up to. There's a where's SmooveK thread up on SCU. http://www.socaluncensored.com/board/showthread.php3?t=11208 --SteveSCU 20:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Mito HolyHock

Thank you for your message and updating the article. Actually I am not from Mito. I am from Shikoku. I am a soccer fan and trying to update articles related to football in Japan, although I am so often distracted by other fascinating topics!! There are still a lot to write about for Japanese football, I think!! Ciao Tarafuku10 21:59, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

thanks! I will. and the same to you. Contact me if i would be of any help. Ciao. Tarafuku10 22:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Your request at Mediation Cabal

Privacy concerns can be taken directly to WP:ANI. Misplaced Pages takes privacy issues very seriously. --Ideogram 07:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Following your request on ANI, the personal information has been removed. However, the information is viewable by administrators. I was wondering whether you will like permanent removal (oversight) of the edits, instead of simple deletion? --Dark Falls 09:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

The deletion of the Heart Corporation page

It seems as if your article was considered to be blatant advertising, and as such was deleted.

Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote some entity and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having e.g. a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion; an article that is blatant advertising should have inappropriate content as well.

I guess that if you were so concerned with the possibility of Mr Wakabayashi's employees reading the quotes you made, that insulted them based on their race, amongst other choice comments(or maybe Mr Wakabayashi reading it himself) then its a good thing it was deleted.Sennen goroshi 15:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I requested the deletion and it was carried out in order to eliminate the history of edits which would possibly compromise my ability to do my job by revealing my full name and that it contained veiled threats. I have no shame on anything I have done as long as it is understood in context, and I enjoy full support from the other staff members. I again ask that if you have a problem with me personally that you contact me openly instead of grasping at straws and harrassing me over Misplaced Pages. I asked that the page NOT be deleted from administration history so that your threats and lack of goodwill in edits are kept in moderation history should they continue. If you are going to quote Misplaced Pages policies, I suggest you look at the policies for those who reveal personal information (such as real names).

I have been professional, reasonable, and cordial and will continue to be so. It would be a great help if you were the same. Smoove K 21:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

That sounds very sensible. Just two brief questions:

do you consider stating that your are the boss of 150 stupid white people, to be professional, reasonable, and cordial?

do you think that the employees of Heart Corporation who you refer to as stupid white people, would consider those comments to be professional, reasonable, and cordial?Sennen goroshi 14:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I would consider that most people understanding the context would have no problem, and the employees who follow the sites and have already seen it understand the humor behind it, which you obviously don't. That's why someone would have to actively TRY to find it and TRY to be offended by it. The only people who would happen upon it and happen to understand what it might mean WOULD appreciate it. I don't think anyone watching the TV show where I played someone who can't speak Japanese would then actually believe that I can't speak Japanese. It's about character and context.

If I ever stated such things in seriousness (which I haven't) it would be terrible. If I ever actually believed anything like that, I would quit. If I ever met someone who would take such things seriously, I would question that person's ability to seperate fantasy from reality.

I hope when shooting starts on screen in an action movie that you don't immediately panic and try to save everyone watching from being shot. Smoove K 23:01, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
