Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Misplaced Pages policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Misplaced Pages Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! -- LAX 02:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hateful Pictures
Hello, hope this finds you well.
According to Misplaced Pages Guidelines,
There is broad agreement that you may not include in your user space material that is likely to bring the project into disrepute, or which is likely to give widespread offense. Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox is usually interpreted as applying to user space as well as the encyclopedia itself. You do have more latitude in user space than elsewhere, but remember: don't be a dick about it. Extremely offensive material may be removed on sight by any editor.-WP:USER
The pictures at the top of your user page could easily be construed as hate mongering . I would strongly suggest that you remove them, as Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a place to spread your beliefs, and especially not to spread purposeless messages of hate. If you do not remove them, there is a very good chance that a case will be brought against you at the administrators noticeboard, either by me or someone else. This is not a threat, merely a warning.

Use of talk pages
Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Homosexuality for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you. Rivertorch (talk) 07:17, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

If you add defamatory content once again, as you did to Talk:Homosexuality, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Newtman (talk) 08:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
