Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:36, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Awesome! Thanks bro! Hey do you know how to edit articles? All I can edit is talk pages? There's got to be an instruction manual here somewhere! LesVegas (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Help desk reply
Hello LesVegas yes we have such a page at Misplaced Pages:Contributing to Misplaced Pages - you may want the specific section Misplaced Pages:Contributing to Misplaced Pages#How to edit. -- Moxy (talk) 20:40, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
- Awesome! Thanks for being so helpful!LesVegas (talk) 12:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Re: Adoption Request
Sure! I would be happy to adopt you. I am going to base my teaching course on my adoption, but I would be happy to explain things instead of you just reading them. You can ask specific questions on the talk page of your adoption page. Your adoption course will be located here (when the link turns blue): User:JHUbal27/Adopt/LesVegas. Thanks for requesting for adoption! ~~JHUbal27 05:57, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Welcome to Misplaced Pages: check out the Teahouse!
|
Hello! LesVegas, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Misplaced Pages for new editors to ask questions about editing Misplaced Pages, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! ~~JHUbal27 08:07, 9 July 2014 (UTC) |
Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by McDoobAU93 16:03, 9 July 2014 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template.
User:JHUbal27/Adopt/LesVegas#Test
You have new messages at User:JHUbal27/Adopt/LesVegas#Test. Please re-take the test for Lesson One. I am looking for serious answers to show your knowledge of Misplaced Pages's policies, not sarcastic humor. Thank you. ~~JHUbal27 22:05, 10 July 2014 (UTC)Template:Z48
A barnstar for you!

| Great job on Lesson One! I really appreciate you taking the time to re-do your answers and cite specific policies. I really believe you deserved an "A". I will now post the next lesson, which I understand somewhat better. ~~JHUbal27 00:23, 12 July 2014 (UTC) |
Please go find some vandalism edits
Hello. You are doing a great job so far but I encourage you to slow down and read through everything carefully. You missed this part but, assuming good faith, you may have simply overlooked it or will do it later. So, if it is easier for you, please conplete the assignment below right here on your talk page. ~~JHUbal27 03:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Now that you know how to use Recent Changes, I want you to go and find some vandalism edits. I don't want you to remove the edit yourself just yet - we'll get to this shortly and chances are, another editor or bot will beat you to it. So before you go on, go to Special:RecentChanges and find three vandalism edits. So that I can check your work and we can discuss things, I want you to copy the links to the diffs of these three edits into the brackets you see below. (This is most easily done by copying the URL from your address bar while you're viewing the diff.)
IMPORTANT WARNING: Due to the very nature of vandalism on Misplaced Pages, it is possible you will encounter something that will offend you. I take this time to point out Misplaced Pages's Content Disclaimer, which basically says that you can find just about anything on here and it's not WP's fault. While you may find something offensive in your searches and subsequent vandal patrols, it is best to simply brush it off and not take it to heart. Later on, when you are actually reverting vandalism, it is possible that your own user pages will be vandalized. Here the same thing applies - ignore and simply remove it. I do not tell these things to scare you, or to imply that it will happen. I am simply pointing out that it is possible, although exceedingly rare. In many cases, these attempts to attack you are in fact somewhat amusing. If it occurs, just remember how intellectually superior you clearly are to the vandal and be glad that you actually have a life. Please add your signature here (~~~~) to confirm that you have read and understand this warning:
- Oh OK, so that's the test? Yeah, that's a good lesson in good faith because I actually did read it but for some reason it didn't "click" in my stubborn noggin. I was expecting another test, but this is much more fun!! Thanks bro! LesVegas (talk) 01:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- No, that's not the test lol. It is just a "prequel" to the test so I know that you understand what vandalism is. If you do pass this next test, I'll let you have a more fun lesson. You mentioned you wanted to renovate your user page, right? I can help you if you want. Just let me know what you want it to look like and what stuff you want on it. ~~JHUbal27 04:19, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Your input is requested
You seem like an enlightened person. I've been trying my best to try to incorporate the latest advances in acupuncture science into this article and I've been fought tooth and nail. There's a hardened core of skeptics that just don't want things to change. I invite you to participate in a RFC I've started to help break this impasse. You can find the debate here: Talk:Myofascial meridians Thanks! - Technophant (talk) 21:55, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry Les, but that's textbook wp:CANVASSING. Please be aware that T is under plural topic bans, for other reasons. LeadSongDog come howl! 04:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Talking science Comment
Since we're talking science, you might be interested to know that you might not be as extremely ENTP as you think: the Myers Briggs-Test is Totaly Meaningless --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 06:20, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Aw shux, the link was broken! I was actually interested in reformulating my entire opinion regarding Myers Briggs and myself because the P in my ENTP likes to do that! LesVegas (talk) 01:10, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
The Left Hand of Darkness
Why would that be a hyphen, rather than an ndash? It's not the connection between parts of a compound word, it's something that prior to HTML would likely have been properly expressed as "--" and hence now should be an ndash. 2600:1004:B106:CC76:753D:5099:CB6B:19CE (talk) 03:45, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, okay, I see, and my apologies. Perhaps you just want to use a spaced – dash instead. LesVegas (talk) 03:50, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
