Single purpose account. Misuse of article space for personal soapbox is unacceptable.--Amadscientist (talk) 02:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

While Misplaced Pages does not have strict rules and policy, we have guidelines. As part of the respect for those guidelines I offer an apology for Misplaced Pages:Please do not bite the newcomers. I assume the teeth marks will eventually wear off.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:15, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hold on

Michael, I know things might seem confusing now, but please don't give up on Wikipdia yet. Amadscientist has been trying to push an agenda, as you've noticed, and I will try to help the best I can. In the mean time I hope you can look at some of the links in the Welcome message above, and please don't give up on us!

By the way, what do you think about Tom Udall's constitutional amendment introduced in the Senate on Nov. 1st? Dualus (talk) 05:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Agenda editing is not my way, but the number of complaints against User:Dualus may show his.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:19, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Why can't I edit Misplaced Pages?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Misplaced Pages for promotion. Misplaced Pages has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Misplaced Pages to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

What can I do now?

• Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
• Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
• Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
