Revision as of 01:50, 20 January 2019

This user is in school. This user is taking a wikibreak and may be away or inactive for varying periods of time. Although he may occasionally be able to do some editing, messages left for him may not be replied to for a while. He will be back on Misplaced Pages when school is over.

Welcome!

Hello, Alternate Side Parking, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing to Misplaced Pages
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to complete the Misplaced Pages Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Misplaced Pages. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Question

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have been editing Misplaced Pages and Wikiquote as the user Just A Regular New Yorker (talk · contribs). However, I have forgotten my old account password, and I do not have an email associated with that account, so I made this new account. Is this considered sockpuppetry? If so, what should I do instead?

Alternate Side Parking (talk) 01:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

You should list your old account on your user page to help explain the history.

You've been editing constructively since you were unblocked last time, so please keep it up. A user who is not blocked is generally allowed to create a new account and, as in your case, if the old account is abandoned and never used again, none of the problems of sockpuppetry or abuse of multiple accounts can arise. — jmcgnh 02:28, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to The Misplaced Pages Adventure!

Hi Alternate Side Parking! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.

Hello, Alternate Side Parking! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Misplaced Pages where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Canvassing

Thanks for the invite, but that's not a topic I know anything about, or feel that I can usefully contribute to.

There's also a policy WP:CANVASS which is quite strongly against this sort of bulk posting to drum up support. It's particularly in relation to discussions which approach being votes (and so depend on the number of supporters), but even for general editing, WP is against this approach.

You might do better engaging with the relevant projects, such as WP:WikiProject Judaism, and posting more general invitations or discussion topics, not aimed at specific editors. Good luck with it Andy Dingley (talk) 10:09, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Andy Dingley:I was simply asking for help from users that had posted to the talk page of WikiProject Judaism. I wasn’t aware this was a violation of policy. I have reviewed the policy page you showed me, and I believe my post was in full compliance. It is perfectly acceptable to ask multiple users to collaborate to improve an article.

DS Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
