August 2020

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Thokcha, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Non-English words are italicised rather than bolded, at Misplaced Pages.

what was wrong with my piston position change? all I did was add a link to visualize rod length vs stroke length?

It seemed to me not relevant, that's why I reverted. Please sign your comments, I missed your comment. Seeing now, so replying. --Mamushir (talk) 23:36, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Mamushir, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your additions to Louise Lincoln Kerr have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate. See also Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️ 17:52, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

thanks for pointing out the issue with Louise Kerr Article. I have been trying to improve it for good amount of time. I understood the issue now. I already rewrote a segment of the article. I will be delighted if you can spare some time and give me a feedback on my revision. --Mamushir (talk) 03:33, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Tagging of Michal Rafaeli-Kaduri

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Michal Rafaeli-Kaduri. I do not think that Michal Rafaeli-Kaduri fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because "one of the founders of mutli-channel television industry." is a claim o0f Significence. So are the mentions of her roles within DBS, Zira , , and CSBC. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead, if this was an article, or another process such as MfD or XfD as appropriate.

DES, I am learning tagging the pages with CSD. I hope I understood why my tag was wrong, Thanks for letting me know. No, I don't have any wish to go for any other deletion process with the page Michal Rafaeli-Kaduri. As you said, I have crosschecked with the notability guidelines and found your comment to be appropriate. Only that the article needs some references, which I may try to add now. Thank you for your mention. --Mamushir (talk) 23:34, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Mamushir. All of us here are ewngaged in a learnign process. Whioe you are ceretainoy not required to find and add references to this or any other particular article, doing so is very helpful, and I thank you. For your information the speedy deletion criteria are generally interpreted narrowly and strictly, and if an article or page does not clearly fit one of the criteria, it should no0t be tagged with that criterion. DES _{DESiegel Contribs} 00:13, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

DES, I understood, thank you very much for your guidance. Also, I will be more careful next time before tagging speedy delete, unless I am 100% certain about it. Thanks much. --Mamushir (talk) 06:48, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020

Hello Mamushir, I am trying to edit the Rob Greenfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/Rob_Greenfield) page to remove some inaccurate and outdated information.

I would like to remove "and hasn't used a shower since April 2013" as this is inaccurate. At the time this article was accurate, but he did shower after 1,000 days.

I would like to remove "has converted to a vegetarian lifestyle and". This is incorrect information as he is not vegetarian.

I would like to remove "and founder of The Greenfield Group." as well as "where he founded The Greenfield Group, an environmentally active marketing company." The Greenfield Group no longer exists and the domain has been registered by another site that Rob is not involved in. It is creating confusion for people going there because of this outdated information on Misplaced Pages.

Thank you for your service to the community and your help with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.131.112 (talk) 16:10, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

68.117.131.112, I did not find your edit supported by enough explanation other than your mere uttering as outdated. You did not provide any references while saying 'outdated'. Please understand that unexplained removal is not a valid editing practice of Misplaced Pages. Please see WP:EP. I am reverting your edit again. If you still think that this revert is unjustified, please show references in support of your claim. Thank you for your service to the community. --☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 17:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Just a question that makes me curious...

Aranyaqn7 (talk) 15:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC) Hi there! I I want to ask a question (this kinda makes me curious) if i'm going to add a soundtrack to a drama do I need to add some source? Thank you in advance and have a have a great day! :)

Happy Editing. --☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 17:40, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism?

How so? 2601:601:9700:9500:C919:D086:194D:4AC6 (talk) 18:31, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Since you're not going to tell me why you consider my edit to be vandalism, I will instead tell you why my edits aren't vandalism, by explaining to you why the edits were made.

To start, obviously the Japanese text should match up with the English translation of the Japanese text, not the shortened/re-named English title, so I fixed that.

Then I saw that it lists "Europe and Australia" when it should stick to listing continents or countries, not a mix, so I changed it to "Europe and Oceania".

Then I thought about it and realized it was missing South Asia and South Africa, so I added "Asia and Africa". In case you don't know, those are places where English is widely spoke. So much so that they make their own English dubs (like Animax Asia's English dub of Dragon Ball Super, which I prefer to Funimation's, and, for an example related to Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata's Anne of Green Gables got a fantastic English dub made in South Africa). And they do in fact release this movie under the "Laputa" name there.

And then I realized it was ridiculous to say "This is the title...EXCEPT in... instead of "This is the title...EXCEPT in...". So I swapped the order the titles were mentioned to reduce the unnecessary wordage and make the opening sentence more professional.

Then I noticed how inconsistent the article is. Throughout, it goes back and forth from "Laputa: Castle in the Sky" to just "Castle in the Sky" to just "Laputa". Constantly. As well as saying the name far too often in the same paragraph. It's quite the poorly written article, so I touched it up.

Then I noticed even more horrible writing under the "Title" section. It was so bad that I had to almost completely rewrite the first paragraph. It was hard to understand and basically LIES to the reader in its original form. Plus it needs a citation. I can't understand how something so amateurish and un-Misplaced Pages-like is on the page of a movie that's been voted as the BEST animated film ever in Japan. 2601:601:9700:9500:C919:D086:194D:4AC6 (talk) 19:28, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
