WikiProject: Dungeons & Dragons

Hi! I’ve been working on a lot of ‘’Dungeons & Dragons’’ articles lately and saw that you were a member of WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons), and am inviting you to rejoin Misplaced Pages’s D&D group. I've been hard at work removing tags placed inappropriately on D&D articles, as well as modifying articles to remove tags that were placed legitimately. In addition, I have been compiling related articles together so that the articles are longer, making it easier to remove tags and to have short articles on lesser topics by just putting it into another appropriate article (links to such compiled articles can be found on my userpage). Check out the project here , and ask any questions that you may have here. Thank you for your time. Drilnoth (talk) 20:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Invitation-request to comment on ANI, Max v Floro & Floro v Max, for blocking

Hi, may I please request you to submit some comment on myand User:Maxschmelling's twin petitions-complaints on the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents for blocking. Despite the long RFC, where Max lost, and was warned not to stalk me, since September 25, Max refused to stop stalking me and my edits. This is a sad day for Misplaced Pages. Cheers.

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Misplaced Pages, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.

Happy New Year! In the near future, I would like to start creating an article on Austin de Lone, the musician - when I decide to start it, could I ask for help while I create it? Austin de Lone is very prolific! Cheers! Frances lynn (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Felidae Conservation Fund Edits and Decline

Regarding Felidae Conservation Fund's rejection:

Some of the material is scientific terminology from the science field and the Felidae website, but it is also supplemented with other information.

Furthermore, as I am the author of this and a lot of the website itself, it is really a copyright violation? If Felidae is writing the article, is it still a violation of copyright?, That is my question. I understand your concern, but this is not copied and pasted.

Also, things like the mission of an organization are not normally re-written.

Please let me know how to proceed from here.

Thanks. Ally.

Thanks

... for the very quick reversions of the vandalism to my user page. I really appreciate it! Cheers! Apparition /Mistakes 04:51, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

your RfA

I just closed your RfA as unsuccessful. Consensus was not reached. I imagine if you address the concerns of the opposition (specifically that you interact more with the community, participate more in article building, and develop better understandings of policies) you will fair better next time.

I hope you continue to work hard on the Misplaced Pages project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me on my talk page or via email. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 11:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

File:Kurdish Spring Festival Adana.jpg

Hi

I received permission to use that image on wikipedia from its creator (Mr. Osseman). I sent the email to Misplaced Pages, but I dont know why it got deleted. Would you please follow up on that. I'll send you the email in which the creator explicitly gave permission for that single image only (not all the content on the website).

May be his wording was not precise. In that case, it is possible for you to give me the appropriate text that is required.

I appreciate you help.
