Welcome!

Hello, The4532, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using 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 and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! -- Ynhockey 13:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar (thanks)

Hi, welcome to Misplaced Pages and a great thanks for the barnstar :) I hope that you stay and contribute a lot, and you will surely have a number of barnstars! -- Ynhockey 13:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you also for the award. From your contributions, you seem to be going alphabetically down a list of users giving them all barnstars. While it is very kind of you to take the time to do that, I hope that you'll also make some edits to the encyclopedia itself as well. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A Train (talk • contribs) 18:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for the two barnstars! I'm glad someone liked my user page... :) Cheers Spawn Man 02:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

CE and AD

Per the Manual o' Style either date format is acceptable, but switching them "just cause" is not. Cheers, WilyD 15:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Offensive content on your userpage

Please remove this content from your userpage, as it is not civil and is a personal attack. I realize that your userpage is yours, but hateful and derogatory content is not acceptable (see here for guidelines). Thank you, Master of Puppets 03:13, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I just removed more offensive content. You seem to think that this is Facebook or some other place where your page is for your friends and your self-expression. It is not. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and user-pages are part of the scaffolding that makes constructing the encyclopedia possible. Inappropriate content is not allowed on user pages, just as it is not allowed on articles pages. Slrubenstein | Talk 09:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thanks for the barnstar! STORMTRACKER 94 14:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. That was very kind of you. Is there anything in particular that you found useful about my edits? I notice you are diligently welcoming newcomers - well done. JFW | T@lk 00:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Respectful decline of your barnstar

While I appreciate the spirit of positivity in the barnstar you've offered me, I don't feel I can accept it in good faith, given that it doesn't seem connected to anything I've done, and you appear to be giving them out randomly. In my opinion, barnstars only mean something when they're given in recognition for specific work that an editor has done.

(Besides, insofar as you used once posted a statement that "Gay people and there supporters are not aloud on my user page", I'm apparently not welcome here as someone who believes in equal rights and respect for people of all persuasions. I won't mention the improper use of "there", which is in some ways more offensive.)

I second the comment made above encouraging you to spend more time editing the encyclopædia and less time attempting to build friendships with other people. – Scartol • Tok 05:58, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

??

and why are my userboxes offensive? the_ed17 16:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

and thanks for not responding. This is an ENCYCLOPEDIA!!! Not Myspace. I keep the two separate, I think you can too. Thanks. the_ed17 01:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You need to start editing the encyclopedia

By looking at your contributions, The4532, it seems that you've mistaken Misplaced Pages for a social network. Your interactions with other users are sometimes provocative and rarely beneficial for the encyclopedia. I suggest that you start making constructive edits to articles. If you continue being disruptive, I will block your account. A Train 18:57, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Brunettes userbox

I just thought I'd let you know that Krimpet (talk · contribs) took it on herself to delete the brunettes userbox you were using. This follows other subjects about women she has chosen to take on herself whether or not they should be on Misplaced Pages the past two weeks, including starting an "edit war" on the DYK section of the main page. Thought you might want to know.--King Bedford I 23:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron

I notice some of your templates on your user page, and I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever to Misplaced Pages, you may find our project matches your vision of Misplaced Pages.
