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.

INTERAC (JAPAN)

Hi Ckatz

This page needs an admin to help it. Basically, while some of the content is true and representative of Interac as a company, a large portion of it is spam from anti-Interac unions.

It cannot be NPOV is the only POV is the union's?

A major point that needs to be fixed is the issue of ownership. The so-called 'Selnate Group' (which never was) was dissolved last year, and the school in Utah, while sharing a name, was owned by part of the former entity. Now, Interac is a single company, and while those other companies may conduct business in the same areas, they are neither owners nor subsidiaries. In that case, each deserves their own unique entry, and they could be linked to each other, but they are not 'group companies' nor part of some greater group. In short, there is no evidence to show that 'Interac is owned by the Selnate Group of Companies in Provo, Utah in the United States.' This would be impossible since: 1) There is no Selnate Group, 2) Interac is a Japanese company. The type of logic holding that argument together is like saying that a fish is a bird because they both come from eggs.

The sections on Controversy, the Contract System, and Union Presence would be better moved to the Assistant Language Teacher entry as part of 3 Union Activity and ALTs. These types of issues are not unique to Interac alone, as there are several dozen companies involved in the same type of business in Japan.

I am afraid that without a serious edit, this page may be subject to action for any number of a dozen types of NP violations. I'm willing to research and do edits to keep that from happening. KeroroGunso (talk) 01:59, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Stop deleting content.

You just deleted an entire sentence from the Top_Gear_(2002_TV_series) article because you didn't 'like' the reference.

1)You haven't explained why you felt the reference wasn't valid either in your edit or the page's discussion page. Reading through Misplaced Pages:Citing_sources, I see nothing that applies, and especially if you're going to delete content, the burden is on you to explain yourself better.

2)You deleted the entire sentence, in violation of Misplaced Pages:Citing_sources#Dealing_with_unsourced_material.

I've undone your deletion. If you remove the edit again, I'll figure out who to report you to for destructive edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.174.140.200 (talk) 17:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I've just restored your deletion. The source is unreliable, the information is far from notable enough for inclusion and it's four years old. You were right to remove it. Discussion is now open here: Drmargi (talk) 17:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Robonaut

Hi, you recently removed a sourced statement on the Robonaut article, claiming that the source "wasn't notable"? Misplaced Pages's notability policy doesn't cover content, if I understand correctly.. maybe you meant that the source wasn't reliable? Since the statement was a statement of opinion, my understanding was this is okay (since the BLP exception doesn't apply), even though the source is a fan-site. It seems like a perfectly good sourced statement to me. Mlm42 (talk) 21:44, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I was wondering why I couldn't edit the list of micronations article to correct the alphabetical order. was I blocked? Austreneland (talk) 02:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
