Frequently asked questions

• Where can I learn more about editing Misplaced Pages?
  • The best place to start is at the Help Desk. Other useful links include the style guide, the list of policies and guidelines, and the guide to editing. Please feel free to ask on my talk page if you have any questions.
• Why was the link I added removed from an article?
  • Typically, links are removed because they fail the external links guideline. Although many links are deleted because they were placed by spammers, links to good sites are also removed on a regular basis. This is because Misplaced Pages isn't a directory service; the mere fact a site exists does not mean it warrants a link.
• Why was my article deleted?
  • Pages can be deleted for many reasons; there are very specific criteria that govern the process. Please review this article for more information.
• Why was information relating to my company or organization removed?
  • This is a very common question, based on a misunderstanding of Misplaced Pages's purpose. This project is not a directory, forum, or search engine, and as such it is not a place for you to post advertisements about your company or your product.
• Why were my spelling changes reverted?

Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style recommends the use of regional varieties of English, based on the topic and the article's contribution history. Please avoid changing spellings unless they differ from the appropriate version. Most spell checking software can be configured to use British and American English; some extend this to include other varieties such as Canadian or Australian English.

Reverted changes - please explain

Removal of Online Reputation Management link: what do you mean with "EL please"? The paper is credible, so is the link directing towards that.

Please let me know why you reverted the changes to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Conservative_Party_of_Canada&direction=prev&oldid=337361167

I had posted the following information, directly related to the subject, which has factual evidence supporting it....

The decision has subsequently given rise to a grassroots protest group, created by Christopher White on December 30, 2009, on the Facebook website entitled "Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament" which has been featured in global news headlines and attracted a membership of over 150,000 in its first 12 days of being online.

Reverting of affective computing and e-mail

The modifications I did to affective computing and e-mail were partly coming from my articles, which cite other sources. Consequently, these ideas are not only mines, and, furthermore, you make a mistake when confounding citing sources and making self-promotion.

Casio Watch Links

Hi,

Sir i am the collector of vintage Casio digital LCD watches, calculator watches and melody alarm chronographs and games watches. i made a site on Casio digital watches CasioDigitalWatches.com, which contain information about vintage Casio digital LCD watches and i also made a site on vintage rare digital LCD Watches RareDigitalWatches.com which also contain pictures of vintage digital watches from Casio Seiko and Citizen. and they both sites contain just information and pictures vintage digital watches to help digital watches collectors. i am not spamming and i just want my both websites will add in the any of Casio watch related article external links on wikipedia, so please allow me add these both sites on Calculator Watches Article. or suggest me any of your article which will be suitable to my sites.

Tea Studies Index(Non-encyclopedic content.)

Tea Studies Index Can you give me some suggestions on what needs changing(format), also where can I ask for help for others to participate in helping.

Below are some reasons for the need of this article

• 1. On wiki there are many sections on terminology and classification.
• 2. A Tea Studies Index information/article.
• 3. In the Chinese language, there is a very detailed complete tea studies, terminology, and index, yet English has none yet.
• 4. I propose this Tea Studies Index just like other fields have specialized terminology, index, and classification.
• 5. The Tea Studies Index information/article I am the writer/owner, yet I give full permission to the wiki website for use and revisement or such, and give the above information to public domain use. No copyright infringements, any of this article's info, as been derived from posts from my blog (5 years noncommercial and I am the only poster therefore no permission needed)dedicated to tea studies education Where I have posted some of this information about tea studies index. We also will be using this information at Tenfu Tea College and throught the tea studies community.

About Alhambra

Hi Ckatz,

I write about your editing in the Alhambra page. I added a couple of sites I think that have the most complete information about the monument.

AlhambraDeGranada.org is an old page with very detailed descriptions of the places inside the Alhambra. An exalmple is the Places and spots section (http://www.alhambradegranada.org/en/info/placesandspots.asp).

Alhambra-patronato.es is the official website.

So, I think they should be there.

I wait for your comments. Best regards :)

Koobits

Hi Ckatz, my article got into some trouble. http://en.wikipedia.org/Koobits Could you please help me?

It says:

This article has multiple issues. Please help improve the article or discuss these issues on the talk page.

   * The notability of this article's subject is in question. If notability cannot be established, it may be listed for deletion or removed. Tagged since April 2010.
   * It is written like an advertisement and needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Tagged since April 2010.
   * It may require general cleanup to meet Misplaced Pages's quality standards. Tagged since April 2010.
   * It may have been edited by a person who has a conflict of interest with the subject matter. Tagged since April 2010.

How to establish notability? The article was written form a neutral point of view, with references showing the facts. Why is it considered not notable?

In http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Notability, it says

tag?

I did not change the content. Why the sudden warning? Will there be future warnings even if there are no changes to the content? Is it possible for other users to sabotage a page by falsely alleging that the page is not ‘notable’, or any other kinds of complaints for that matter?

I use DELL as an example, they seem to have no problem. Why do I have so many problems? =(

I feel so sad when my article gets rejected. Please help me! Thank you!

MLS reverts

the issue of MLS not being a canadian league, but a US league with a single, and soon to be 3 canadian teams has been debated with resolution via neutral third party. please do not continue to revert accepted information.

WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) Casliber (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Misplaced Pages Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17

Re: John Barrowman

It would be great if you would join the discussion on the talk page. I appreciate that you think the importance of dogs in Barrowman's life appears and loks like trivia, but it is actually not. Barrowman's autobiography, I Am What I Am (2009) is full of information about the importance of dogs in his life, and talks about "Captain Jack", a "rescued Jack Russell terrier from Cardiff Dogs Home" quite a bit. Barrowman's work with dogs outside his acting career is considered important, and many sources discuss it. Viriditas (talk) 20:57, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

TO CKATZ: Your Reponse is Kindly Requested

Ckatz,

I had the courtesy to write you a note on your user page and you did not respond. I kindly asked for your advice on an edit. Yet, you never made the attempt to discuss the editorial content. In fact, you use the edit summaries to send personal messages to users rather than their talk page. Furthermore, you threaten a block. I'm sorry, this is not proper etiquette for Misplaced Pages. If you do not like something I edit for personal reasons, it doesn't warrant you to make a personal attack. Please stop this behavior. Again, I ask. How you would you write the content so it reflects proper factual information according to the Misplaced Pages guidelines? Please response intelligently within 24 hours on my talk page. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Follow Up

Dear Ckaz: you said "Yes, well, did you explain to this friend of yours exactly what you had been doing? That might change the response significantly. The issue here lies in your repeated efforts to add information that is not suitable for inclusion. Stop doing that, and the problem goes away. --Ckatzchatspy 22:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)"

Yes, I did. And he had instructed me how I can add the info by changing certain words. However, it would help if you stated why it is not suitable for inclusion. Or more plainly, if a lawsuit was filed against a subject of interest for reasons pertaining to their occupation, would that be suitable to include in the page? Yes or no. Believe me, I'm not trying to be abusive here, I'm trying to genuinely benefit the project. Perhaps as an administrator, you can help with that. I am seeking advice from another moderator...and will make my decision based on your's and the other person's documented reponse to this issue. Thanks again for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raver212 (talk • contribs) 01:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit summaries and reverts,

Could you please explain your rationale for reverting me as you did here? Your edit summary explained nothing, and seems rather off given that the show was cancelled and is no longer running.— Dædαlus 21:34, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

TV series continue to exist as creative works, even after production of new episodes ceases. In a similar manner, we would not refer to a book or a film using "was". --Ckatz_spy 03:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Dæ, Take a look at Historical present for discussion of this. Cheers. ThtrWrtr (talk) 03:50, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Then I shall revert myself on an article I previously made the same kind of edit on.— Dædαlus 04:24, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Removal of references

Dear CKatz, I believe you are behaving in a very autocratic manner, and your actions are unreasonable and very narrow-minded. You have removed the links that i added to some articles published by myself on scribd and asked me to desist from such edits. while I appreciate your efforts as an administrator on wikipedia, I dissent your such actions. My articles quoted substantively from some reputed sources, I believe that you went ahead without a minute of thought or after going through the articles. This is totally uncalled for and against the spirit of wikipedia. I would appreciate that you think about it for sometime before posting a replyHallenrm (talk) 08:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

You cannot post links to your own opinion pages. That is a clear violation of Misplaced Pages's guidelines and policies. --Ckatz_spy 09:09, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
