Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (174.77.220.178) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! - DVdm (talk)

February 2014

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Eric Clapton are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 09:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC

Got message

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the rules and guidelines. Could you send that page to me? I'm new at this and considering signing in and learning to edit.

It's all explained in our wp:Talk page guidelines. The link to that page was already present in my message above. Every link is marked blue. Happy reading. - DVdm (talk) 17:50, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Misplaced Pages, such as you did with the article Talk:Robert Palmer (singer). Hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Misplaced Pages is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Misplaced Pages – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Misplaced Pages. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Misplaced Pages to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. Do not continue to promulgate your Geraldine Edwards hoax on Misplaced Pages. Binksternet (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Tarantula. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
