Frequently asked questions

Where can I learn more about editing Misplaced Pages?
- The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
Why was the link I added removed from an article?
- Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Misplaced Pages isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
Why was my article deleted?
- Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
- This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Misplaced Pages's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
Why were my spelling changes reverted?

Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.

rickshaw removal

You removed this pdf with a comment of "rv. yet another vanity spam". The article was published in Current Science and appears to be a very reliable source. What's up? tedder (talk) 18:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Saw your info, thanks. Let me know when you have time to write it all up so there is some context. tedder (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ckatz. I saw that you edited the article on Marketing to remove my edit in the Branding section. Just curious what you didn't like about it (just looking for some feedback really). Thanks, JerLlo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.114.255.3 (talk) 19:42, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

removal of SceneWriter_Pro

Hi There,

Forgive me if I did something wrong when submitting the article for SceneWriter Pro - it was my first submission. However, I do not believe that it was written in an advertising way and certainly no different to other screenwriting software articles on Wiki; such as Final Draft. It was written because the screenwriting software article links to many different types of software and SceneWriter Pro was missing from that list - even though it is popular amongst the screenwriting community. I do not believe its removal, or the removal of its links from other relevant articles is therefore justified and if anything, its very exclusion creates a bias to the other screenwriting software listed.

No sales wording, pricing or bias was used in the creation of the article, only factual information. There were not even any photographs or screen shots used.

I truly am puzzled as to why this was removed.

Yours confusedly,

Mark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scenewriter (talk • contribs) 20:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit to the Coroico article

Dear Ckatz,

The link I published to www.COROI.CO.cc was removed from the Coroico article , and blacklisted as Spam by you, obviously in all good faith.

I do not understand nor agree with this decision.

After studying the rules explained in this page , I cannot find any rule this page might have breached. The only plausible explanation I could find is that the page has a DNS name hosted by www.co.cc . .cc addresses apparently are considered 'redirect' URLs, and though this might be true for some .cc services, www.CO.cc offers a respectable service, without pop-up adds or any of the like. They make their money from bad webmasters, by forwarding people from 404 errors to commercial pages. It is not an elegant way to make money, but it is acceptable, IMHO. Also, as I explain here, if you use www.co.cc in combination with the free webhost byethost.com , using the DNS option, there is actually no way to get to the content of the page without using this domain name. Hence it is not a redirect service.

Meanwhile, two of the other external links violate rulings 4, 5, and 13 of the 'Links normally to be avoided' section of earlier mentioned page .

COROI.CO.cc is a semi-official page about the content of the mentioned article (supported by most people in the village), is accessible, and there is no reason why the link would die. (The reason why this page is hosted on a free DNS provider is that there is a lack of funding for a paid domain name. You might have noticed how Bolivian websites tend to disappear, because DNS providers don't get paid. Understand that a domain name for one year is worth roughly the equivalent of two to three weeks work for most people.) On top of that it does "contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Misplaced Pages article due to copyright issues, amount of detail "

I would therefore be very happy if you could remove this link from the blacklist and reinstate the link in the Coroico article. I am the owner of the COROI.CO.cc site, so that would also solve my moral dilemma about putting up a link to a page I created.

Sincerely, Joostschouppe (talk) 10:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

PS. I tried discussing about this measure on the Unblacklist page and the External Link discussion page , but unfortunately have not been able to discuss the facts at hand so far, nor have had any clear answers to my questions. Joostschouppe (talk) 06:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Update

Apparently .co.cc is in fact blacklisted because of abuse by some users , as someone explained to me on the Blacklist page . I think www.COROI.CO.cc is eligible for Whitlisting though.Joostschouppe (talk) 12:56, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Romoval of the "Controversy" article on Rogers Wireless

http://en.wikipedia.org/Rogers_Wireless#Controversy

Why is it not a controversy while it's the case for Bell & Telus. Last year I did the same thing for Telus or Bell and someone keept canceling the change.

WTF. How is charging for incomming SMS that cannot be blocked an acceptable policy ? It's definetly a controversy specially when Rogers responded that year that they where not going to Bellus on this decision. This is unaceptable specialy when some client have switch from Bellus to Rogers and where told this wasn't going to happen anytime soon and 1 year later Rogers do the exact damn thing.

At the last limit, controversy or not, the wikipedian user NEEDS to know to Rogers charges for incomming SMS. This information is already available on Telus and Bell articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkman007e (talk • contribs) 05:56, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
