Welcome!

Hello, Two kinds of pork, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for PRISM (surveillance program). I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction to Misplaced Pages
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! Capscap (talk) 16:41, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Also, I think your edit in the PRISM article was meant to be in the Boundless informant article?? I removed it from prism, but if I'm wrong, feel free to readd it with a source. Thanks! Capscap (talk) 16:42, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I didn't realize there was something called Boundless informant. I was reading the prism article from the news section and it doesn't say anything about the name origin which is related to breaking up and reassembling colors.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Two kinds of pork (talk • contribs)

no problem. I think the information you added may describe the heatmap at the top right of the Boundless informant page, so maybe you can add it to that article? All the best, Capscap (talk) 16:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Daniel Morgan Perry

Hi Two kinds of pork,

Instead of just deleting large portions of the article and venting your prejudices against Mr Perry, would you be willing to engage in a constructive discussion about how we can wikify it and bring it into line with WP best practice? Edit wars have a nasty habit of attracting attention. Orthorhombic, 15:20, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Daniel Morgan Perry. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. GB fan 15:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

It appears only one person is fighting over keeping this ridiculous content.

Why am I getting accused of being a vandal by random editors? This makes no sense.Two kinds of pork (talk) 03:47, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I apologize for the mistaken action as a vandalism edit. Might I recommend you clearly indicate in the edit summary what actions you are taking and why... This would assist folks who are reviewing the edits and allow them to have insight into the thoughts behind your actions. I have removed my warning from above, again my apology - happy editing. TRL (talk) 03:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Looks like you have a possible explanation above. Please use edit summaries for now on. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:02, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Chelsea Manning

I am so sorry. Yes, I see it now. It was totally inadvertent - we were involved in an edit conflict, and although I thought I had preserved the previous comment, obviously I hadn't. Once again, I'm sorry. StAnselm (talk) 22:51, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. I'm glad it was a misunderstanding instead of seemingly yet another person looking for an argument.Two kinds of pork (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Is there a formatting tutorial for usernames and highlighting?Two kinds of pork (talk) 14:19, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

By "usernames and highlighting", do you mean customizing your signature? APerson (talk!) 15:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for responding, but I mean hyperlinks to articles, users, formatted text (like green quotations, bold, italics).Two kinds of pork (talk) 15:31, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Not really - you can use regular HTML, but that's about it. Mdann52 (talk) 15:58, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Warning

You are hereby warned that as Talk:Chelsea Manning gender identity media coverage is under discretionary sanctions for the duration of the active arbitration case, this notice will serve as warning that your behavior on that talk page (as well as the other 2 pages under DS via the same injunction) from now on can be sanctioned.

I was aware. Was there anything I specifically said, or is this just a general warning?Two kinds of pork (talk) 12:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

General warning; the interaction between you and SqueakBox isn't exactly that courteous. It's here in case it gets worse. - Penwhale | 15:03, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough, though I personally feel that any rude behavior is one-way.Two kinds of pork (talk) 16:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Provoked by Pork because I DARED to challenge his criticising me for saying Bradley is a BLP vio, hardly unacceptable behaviour on my part, sigh. I have the right to vote in RMs without being told to shut up♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 15:19, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

April Arcus

Hey - I saw your Arbcom evidence. I think that since April Arcus has admitted it was in a moment of frustration, apologized, and agreed not to do it again, I think you should let it go. People make mistakes sometimes.--v/r - TP 18:30, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I have nothing against her, but was pointing out this was happening nonetheless. As there is no need to get her in trouble (at least I don't) I removed it.Two kinds of pork (talk) 20:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I think that's the right thing to do. The community is burning so many bridges on this issue, it's helpful to see some courtesies extended to help build new bridges.--v/r - TP 20:48, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Manning RFC

I recieved your message, I don't see the problem with my comments, as I do suggest policy reasons why Bradley Manning should stay at Bradeley Manning, and I'm not attacking anyone. Let me know which comments you think are out of line,please.  KoshVorlon. We are all Kosh   14:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
