Hi! I wanted to thank you for helping me fix my spanish sentence. I'm also writing because I noticed that nobody has welcomed you to Misplaced Pages yet, and you've been here awhile. Here are some helpful links:

• Help with page editing
• Writing a great article on Misplaced Pages
• Misplaced Pages's manual of style
• Glossary of terms used on wikipedia
• The village pump, a place to ask questions about wikipedia
• IRC channels for Misplaced Pages, where you can talk live to other Wikipedians
• The Votes for Deletion Page, where articles are decided to be kept or deleted
• The recent changes page, helpful for reverting vandalism

Ask me if you need anything, I owe you one. If you have a really urgent question, type {{helpme}} on your userpage, and someone should come quickly. You should check out Misplaced Pages Babel if you're interested in helping translate things between english and spanish on Misplaced Pages. Enjoy, and BE BOLD!!!--The ikiroid (talk parler hablar paroli 说 話し parlar) 18:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Reference question

Hello, I have made a late reply to your reference desk question:

I have successfully used my US laptop, US digital camera, US cell phone charger (just to get at my phone book - the phone itself does not work in Japan) and US iPod many times in Japan. The difference between 110 and 100 is not significant, generally. As Kjoon says, your power adaptor should give you the allowable ranges. One thing you may have a problem with, however, is the shape of the plug. Some US plugs are polarized so the neutral blade that is wider than the other. Most Japanese plugs are not polarized and therefore your wide neutral blade may not fit. Also, most Japanese plugs in hotels (at least the ones I have stayed at) seem to be ungrounded. So, if you have a plug with a third prong, it will not fit. The solution is to buy a 3-prong to 2-prong converter. Instead of a fancy travel pack with lots of adaptors you don't need (at least for your current trip), you can find this at almost any big hardware store and it should cost less than $1. Finally, most hotels don't have enough power outlets to cover all the gadgets you will bring with you. Therefore, you may want to bring a small 6 outlet power strip.

Teeth during pregnancy

Regarding your userpage.

Greetings,

Just some things I noticed...

Your userpage currently reads página de usario while it should be página de usuario. Also, esta página de usuario incompleta va creciendo sounds a little strange to me. As a native Spanish speaker, I'd use esta página de usuario es un trabajo en progreso (this user page is a work in progress) or a similar sentence. Perhaps it's just me, but va creciendo seems to be rather inappropriate in this context, at least in my dialect (castellano rioplatense).

Have a nice day,

Didn't mean to do that

Rollback using Huggle?

Hi El aprendelenguas, I note this edit you made, apparently using rollback via Huggle, with no edit summary. My understanding is that using rollback is much the same as declaring the edit to be vandalism. In this case, the IP's edit seems to me to be clearly in good faith. It is badly spelt and certainly requires a source to support the claim of "largest", but I feel deserves an edit summary so the user can understand why their edit was reverted. I noticed this while reverting a series of edits along these lines by the IP, all made in good faith but all with bad results. In each case, I used an edit summary - in your case, I would have used the same edit summary as I did here. Regards! Franamax (talk) 05:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion. You're right; the edit deserved a summary. I will provide one when I revert good-faith edits in the future.--El aprendelenguas (talk) 01:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I've removed your G1 from this page and replaced it with G10. (attack page) This should get it deleted faster. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you.--El aprendelenguas (talk) 02:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't put thoughts in my head

Your remark "I could write an article on the misuse of doorknobs for back-scratchers" didn't just make me spil my drink on my keyboard. I'm going to look for sources too ;-)    SIS  22:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Haha, actually, personally, I prefer the corners of walls in hallways and doorways. Perhaps that can go under "See also."--el Aprel (-_facienda) 22:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

IPA on "Data"

Hello! I noticed you placed the IPA for nonstandard pronunciation tag atop the article data. I'm not sure what you would like to see transcribed in IPA. Could you explain? And I'd be happy to add the IPA.--el Aprel (-_facienda) 23:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Right at the end of the Etymology section, where it says “Pronounced dey-tuh, dat-uh, or dah-tuh.”. --WikidSmaht (talk) 07:58, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Yes, you can change the content in the sandbox as much as you like, but you cannot change the sandbox template heading {{Please leave this line alone (sandbox heading)}} when editing. Otherwise, have fun!--el Aprel (-_facienda) 18:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

"Comment on content, not on the contributor"

This philosphy is flawed. Misplaced Pages would be completely anonymous were it for the need of certain users, such as yourself, to inflate their ego by asserting their authority. If wikipedia was supposed to be completely removed from its users, why am I reminded to sign my entry with 4 tildes? Why have you moved up the ranks to WikiPaladin Level 19? I'm all for a neutral encyclopedia, however, I will not submit myself to the egos of "higher" wikipedia users. The comments made on the Shoot 'Em Up talk page were neither attacks nor vandalism. Relevant information was intentionally excluded from the article and on the ridiculous "accusation" of "original research." I think this is greatest crime that can be committed on a truly all inclusive and unbiased encyclopedia. And of course you'll disagree, I am a peon in this mess of a social website. You will delete this entry and post another warning on my talk page and you'll cite some wikipedia article that defends you (its author) against me (its reader) and wikipedia will continue to "grow" whilst the rest of the regular population continues to shrink. Good day to you, I hope you enjoy revising wikipedia entries.Drfool (talk) 20:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
