Welcome

Hello, welcome to Misplaced Pages. Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them:

• How to edit a page

• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style
• Misplaced Pages Policies and guidelines

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Dear Chabad

We do not have multiple articles with the same content. Please leave the redirects as they are. If you continue, you may be banned from editing the site.

This is not the place for you to insert a particular POV ideology regarding an individual, regardless of what you happen to think of him. This is true regarding all religious leaders, and not just Schneerson. Alternately, as they say in Yiddish, Genikt mit'n avoda zara! Danny 22:57, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)~

Greetings Chabad

We are interested in having you contribute on the subjects you are familar with, and there is a way to get the information that you think is important onto the pages you find appropriate, a style of writing that will protect what you post here better - it is called NPOV, for "neutral point of view" - please click on the link for an explanation of the policy. If what you write is NPOV, you could perhaps explain why your descriptions of the Rebbe and his status take the forms they do, what they mean to you and others. With just a few deft qualifying statements you could still keep most of the information you have already posted intact and people not yet familiar with Hasidim could learn something new and perhaps beneficial.

This page should be deleted

This page should be deleted because it is misleading and may be offensive to the subject matter relating to Chabad and those who may be connected with it. IZAK 09:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

• Please see: Misplaced Pages:Username policy#Misplaced Pages:Username policy: "...Offensive usernames include those that refer or allude to: The names of religions or religious figures; in addition, usernames that invoke the name of a religious figure or religion are prohibited should they be distasteful, provoke or promote intolerance, are disrespectful of the religion, or promote the ideology that one religion is superior to others. Usernames that are clearly expressions of faith are discouraged, however considered allowed unless disruptive. Should a username not be clear as to the motive, it may be reviewed." Thank you, IZAK 03:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
• Perhaps you are this?: Misplaced Pages:Username policy#Doppelganger accounts "It is acceptable to pre-emptively create another account with a username similar to one's own, with the purpose of preventing impersonation by vandals. Such accounts are called doppelganger accounts. They should be marked with the {{doppelganger}} or {{doppelganger2}} tag, or simply redirected to one's own userpage. Such accounts should not be used for editing." So what is going on here? IZAK 03:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

My concern about your username

Hello, Chabad, and welcome to Misplaced Pages.

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Misplaced Pages administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Misplaced Pages:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Misplaced Pages. Thank you again! IZAK 02:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
