Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 03:22, 10 April 2015

Hello Deathawk and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

• To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
• Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
• Follow the Misplaced Pages:Simplified Ruleset
• Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
• Remember Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view
• Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Hot Wheels & Categories

Hi. Thanks for the edit to Hot Wheels, but it's not necessary to add the Toys category, because it already was part of the category Toy cars and trucks, which in turn is part of Toys. See Misplaced Pages:Categorization for more details. RoySmith 2 July 2005 02:06 (UTC)

XBAND

A user claiming to be the originator of this article has been reverting this back to 'his' form, before all of your cleanups. I'm trying to talk to him about it, but would you mind keeping an eye on the page for the next week or so, in case this gets out of hand? --InShaneee 03:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Fishcam

As per your talk page question at Talk:Fishcam, Fishcam is not related to Netscape Fishcam. -- Longhair 09:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Permanent Hiatus

Deathawk, you need to put back what I had for my page, Permanent Hiatus . That's ridiculous. You messed up the entire article. Change it back IMMEDIATELY. Cueball 15:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Fire drills in Wisconsin

Thanks for the information! I've reworked it a little bit for easier readability, but all in all, it was quite helpful. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

category:College and Univeristy Types

I think that renaming Category:School types was a good idea, however, the new category has a typo and does not conform to Misplaced Pages's capitalization style (in the titles of categories and articles only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized as per Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions). A more minor point is that in other categories, university comes before college (as in Category:Universities and colleges in New York). I think the category should be called Category:University and college types. Keep up the good work! btm _talk 02:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I second the observation that the category name is misspelled. I've found out a little about how to fix this, though you may already know how better than I do. See Category talk:College and Univeristy Types. Thanks for your contributions, --Jdlh | Talk 18:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I've made the appropriate changes to the category. Cheers! btm _talk 22:37, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Lists

Why did you remove the * sorting from the categories Religion-related lists, Geography lists, Culture lists, Art lists and Society lists? Did you see the comment describing the layout of the Lists category page at the top of that page, or on the talk page? --JeffW 16:59, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. It makes sense to put the most common way of searching a category near the front, especially the top level categories. And it isn't unprecedented. Take a look at Category:People where it has a bunch of People by ... categories sorted before the alphabetical listings, which is basically the same thing I did in Lists.

Category:Disasters

I appreciate your initiative with the categorisation in the Disasters category. However, several of the categorisations were duplications and I had to revert them. I hope that you do not mind. Please do join us at the WikiProject for disasters. --rxnd ( t | € | c ) 21:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Internet Personality

I want to know why me being in the Category:Internet Personalities annoys you so much. Please stop removing me from categories i'm in. And "you're not an internet personality" is not a valid rebuttal. User:Raccoon Fox - Talk 18:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

thanks,. i'm not trying to be mean or rude or a bully...i'm just sick of people vandalising my page, and changing which categories i'm in....i do try to keep myself to proper and appropriate categories, though. User:Raccoon Fox - Talk 19:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Virtual Boy Wario Land

You're actually the second person to ask me this, so I'm going to put the reasoning in the article's talk page now.

I changed the article because:

1. The box says Virtual Boy Wario Land
2. The cartridge says Virtual Boy Wario Land
3. The title screen says Virtual Boy Wario Land
4. GameFAQs, MobyGames, GameSpot, and Planet Virtual Boy all refer to it as Virtual Boy Wario Land.
5. Note how it never says "Wario Land for Virtual Boy". The "Virtual Boy" is part of the subtitle of the game, much like how Eternal Darkness' full title is actually Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
6. Most importantly: It's really just a rearangement of words from "Wario Land (Virtual Boy)", so what does it really matter? This way drops the parentheses and looks better.--SeizureDog 06:34, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

C2 Judgement Clay

In response to your message on my talk page, it seems that that list was originally added by User:Nadnerd, and thanks for helping clean the page up. Kil 20:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Space trade

• Space trade (AfD discussion)

You might like to revisit the discussion to consider an alternative course of action that has been suggested. Uncle G 14:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Association

I suppose my little joke was rather inappropriate. I was just saying basically many people can be become addicted to this. Sorry. Simply south 18:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Erm... your association didn't quite come out right but i have created speculation as to how it may link with the military. Simply south 18:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:Open Society

Hello, I just discovered that you recently made Category:Open Society a parent category for Category:Democracy, when I'm sure you meant to do the inverse. I've already taken care of the problem, and Category:Open Society is now a sub-category of Category:Democracy. Working with categories can be very tricky, even confusing at times, so it's important to take your time and be very careful -- and then check the results to be sure that they make sense.

HIB edit

You may want to check what you thought was going on in this edit, where you state that information was being removed. All that edit that you undid was re-add a reference that was removed from the previous edit. Note that that section exists in the "Response" part of the article and not wehre HIB#4 is being discussed, as it is about the abuse of the system towards the Steam sale. --MASEM (t) 04:09, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Going by the edit you undid (see above), the only thing that my reversal of your change was restoring a citation that someone had just outright removed, nothing on the content of the article (certainly nothing about soundtracks). I've double-checked and I'm not seeing where the soundtrack information is being removed (I don't think I would remove that anyway, since it would have been source-able). You may want to double check to to find out what you think went missing. --MASEM (t) 13:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Your input in a prior RFC on this topic has been mentioned, so you might want to opine at Talk:Donkey_punch#Roadmap. --John Vandenberg 09:53, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Super Mario Galaxy 2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cameo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Tips & Tricks

The article Tips & Tricks has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Magazine does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NMAGAZINE.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

DYK for Depression Quest

On 2 September 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Depression Quest, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the developer Zoe Quinn considered delaying the release of Depression Quest following the death of Robin Williams? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Depression Quest. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
