Welcome!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Januarythe18th, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

What are the four general rules at Misplaced Pages? The four general rules are to respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and to ignore a rule if it prevents you from improving or maintaining Misplaced Pages. How do I edit a page?
  1. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page that you want to edit.
  2. Make your changes in the edit window.
  3. Preview your changes by clicking the 'Show preview' button.
  4. Click the 'Save page' button.
See Misplaced Pages:How to edit a page for more detailed information. Why can't I edit some particular pages? Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. Where can I experiment with editing Misplaced Pages? Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment. How do I create an article? Please use the Article Wizard to create one, then add references to the article as explained below. What are references, sources, and citations all about? All claims must be supported by a book, website, or news organization independent of the subject of the article. The source must be reliable, meaning it cannot be a blog, MySpace page, or personal website. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prove that an inaccurate statement is true, and that it should stay in the article. The policy regarding this states that the statement has to be verifiable, not necessarily true. See Misplaced Pages:Verifiability for more information. How do I insert a reference into an article?

For inline references:

  1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
  2. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' in the Misplaced Pages article, and insert a claim into that article stating a fact about the subject. Don't click the save button just yet.
  3. In the search you did in step 1, find a website that supports the claim you made in step 2. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
  4. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
  6. In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
  7. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

For references put at the end of an article:

  1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
  2. In the search, find a website that supports the claims made in the article. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
  3. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
  4. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
  5. Go to the Misplaced Pages article. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Then, add this after the {{Reflist}}, in a new line:

{{Refbegin}}
*Press paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) after this asterisk, then remove the <ref></ref> tags
{{Refend}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one? A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Misplaced Pages. If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page. How do I format text on Misplaced Pages? See Misplaced Pages:Cheatsheet.

March 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Shiva, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please refrain from adding original research see WP:OR and non-neutral information.see WP:NPOV TheMandarin (talk) 09:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

(copied from talk page)Informations is all on Brahma Kumaris homepage. This is new knowledge brother, not Bhakti. Many people report it. I am just learning WikipediA. Please help me put up correct informations not remove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Januarythe18th (talk • contribs) 09:17, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I clearly understand your problem as a new comer. The Brahma Kumaris homepage is not considered as a reliable source ( see : WP:IRS, WP:RS ) . One venue for reliable source is Google books. Please do a search there. Also the image uploaded by you has copyright problems. Please read Misplaced Pages:Image use policy. Let me know if anything is not clear. Happy editing. --TheMandarin (talk) 09:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011 again

Also a problem edit on God the Father. Beginning to look like spam. History2007 (talk) 11:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011 again

As stated by Sean.hoyland the edit you insist on making to God the Father is not relevant. Once two editors revert you, please stop. Please read WP:3RR. History2007 (talk) 09:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Brahma Kumaris

Brahma Kumaris religion is unique in Hinduism for having only one God the Father. There are many references on WikipediA Brahma Kumaris homepage.

Why our religion not mentioned? I change it. Please make a mention that you are happy with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Januarythe18th (talk • contribs) 10:02, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I do not see any WP:RS references for your statement. Please discuss this further on the talk page for God the Father so other editors can comment, not my talk page. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 10:22, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Please do not use Conservapedia as a source for anything in Misplaced Pages apart from information about Conservapedia itself. It is an open wiki that anyone can edit and it is therefore not regarded as a reliable source. Sean.hoyland - talk 11:15, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Januarythe18th please discuss this on the article talk page so it can be central. History2007 (talk) 14:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Spam account

In my view, the edits from this account are mostly spam edits that promote Brahma Kumari University for free and have even included inquiries about the location of other users so they can be sent to seminars. I think this is a single purpose spam edit account that needs to be closed. History2007 (talk) 14:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Discussion is also at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Lucyintheskywithdada. History2007 (talk) 17:26, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Meditation

Please read WP:3RR and WP:BRD and do not revert in order to avoid an edit war. You have been reverted by 2 users and in the context of WP:BRD should discuss on the talk page not revert. Please consider this a warning. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 17:09, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
