A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	For your work on "Ask Me Again" at AFC (h/t the Teahouse). Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 08:12, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Is it appropriate to add to this article that a commenter on IMDb wrote "I keep my old VCR just so I can re-watch this" in 2020? Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 01:04, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

No. IMDb is not considered a reliable source, because it's a wiki. — Diannaa (talk) 14:32, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 15:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I added a couple more reviews - are we there yet? Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 02:41, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

Sorry @Allthemilescombined1, I just noticed this now and I don't have time to check - just dropping you a warning that when you reply to these template messages, we usually have no idea you've done that! You have to specifically ping the person you're replying to, since the AfC templates don't automatically subscribe us to the discussion. -- asilvering (talk) 23:54, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

This page is within the scope of WikiProject Women writers, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of women writers on Misplaced Pages. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Women writersWikipedia:WikiProject Women writersTemplate:WikiProject Women writersWomen writers NA This page does not require a rating on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and appreciation

Hello. I responded to a comment you made on WT:WIR and a few other editors pointed out that I might have been somewhat harsh, especially given you were a new editor. I took a look and - you are a new editor, of only three months! And yet - you've done absolutely amazing work in those three months, multiple well written articles, and even getting blocked! (Which may not seem like a desirable achievement, but is certainly an achievement! Especially in surviving it, and continuing to do good work!) Anyway, I would like to show a bit of appreciation for that excellent work, by way of welcome.

• I found and uploaded a free-licensed image for Laura Vanderkam and cropped it; if you believe the uncropped one would be better, please do use that one.

• uncropped
• cropped, in article

• Per your userpage request, I tried to track down Robert Bruce (actor) from "Ask Me Again", but suspect IMDB may have sent me down the wrong rabbit hole. It links "American Playhouse" Ask Me Again (TV Episode 1989) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb to Robert Bruce - IMDb, who seems to have been Robert Bruce | NZ On Screen. If this is him, he seems to have been an interesting person: Scot, New Zealander, Actor, Wrestler, Agent, Stuntman, Bodyguard ... if there are enough sources to make an article about him, it will be an amazing article. However, that makes me doubtful if this is him, since Nelson Rodker is supposed to be a nerd, right? Would a huge wrestler type have been cast as a nerd?

Anyway, the image is good, hope you like that one, and even more so hope you keep up the great work writing. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 01:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@GRuban Many thanks for your kind words and all your help. The actor playing Nelson Rodker didn't sound Scottish, though of course that doesn't mean a thing. There must be some podcaster out there who would like to take on this challenge, right? Someone who loves Scrabble... Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 02:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
