Do not

Adding POV ramblings to articles is one thing, but to try to emphasise them by making the passage bold as per this edit is precariously close to vandalism.—Nat Krause 17:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Buddha as an Avatar of Vishnu, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Buddha as an Avatar of Vishnu. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

spam

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did in Jeune Europe. Misplaced Pages is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you. I hope you will revert all your edits yourself. Intangible 17:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Regardless of the content of a link, it's always inappropriate to put the same link in multiple articles. I've removed every one of them for you. If you think the link is appropriate in individual articles, and that I removed it improperly, you might bring the issue up on the relevant article talk page. --jpgordon 18:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Brahma Kumaris page

If you would like to edit that page, please discuss about it in the Talk page first. Otherwise, it will be considered vandalism. Your insults are also against WIKIPEDIA best practices and I will report you. This is your only warning; if you vandalize Misplaced Pages again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

User keeps making changes in the Brahma Kumaris page. Last warning.

Cowards remark

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Addhoc 11:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Misplaced Pages has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. — Nearly Headless Nick 18:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
