Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 12:48, 29 November 2014

Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Hello, Squinge. Welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing 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

If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, WP:Cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Misplaced Pages Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend getting live help at the Misplaced Pages help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, try the Teahouse (a help page for new users) or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 01:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Squinge, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Misplaced Pages for new editors to ask questions about editing Misplaced Pages, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Chamith (talk) 19:15, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

November 2014

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Beintehaa has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

• ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made was constructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this message from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• For help, take a look at the introduction.
• The following is the log entry regarding this message: Beintehaa was changed by Squinge (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.959689 on 2014-11-22T22:07:37+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 22:07, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

That was a false positive, but the page to report it just gave me a screen full of programming errors. Squinge (talk) 22:22, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

New message

I will change my changes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hs17596 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

No, you will STOP your changes. Squinge (talk) 13:29, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Reverting consecutive edits

To revert consecutive edits more quickly, you can compare last good and last bad versions and then click "Undo". It does not make a pre-generated undo summary, so you can write in there something like "Revert consecutive edits by Example (talk)", followed by a summary. Also, you can try Twinkle or other anti-vandalism tools, or prove yourself worthy of rollback flag. Thanks! --Nick the Red (Talk | Contribs) 13:45, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Ah, thanks - I actually have a multiple-undo in the history, but I had no idea how I had managed it :-). It looks like I need to be autoconfirmed to use Twinkle, so I'll try that in another day or so. I've also reported the vandal at WP:ANI, because there hasn't been any response at WP:AIV for several hours. Squinge (talk) 13:51, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Looks like that vandal stopped - there is no edits for almost 15 minutes, even if that user is not blocked yet. --Nick the Red (Talk | Contribs) 14:00, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Maybe eased off for now, but he's been doing it for days so I'm sure he'll be back. Thanks for your help. Squinge (talk) 14:08, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

And he's blocked now. Squinge (talk) 14:09, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

November 2014

Hello, I'm Owais Khursheed. I noticed that you removed a PROD, from Asadhya Aliya, and I wanted to let you know that I have replaced it. Please don't remove these PRODs from articles unless they contain at least one reliable source or were created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider adding reliable sources to the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you.

It was *NOT* a BLP PROD it was an ordinary PROD, and the article is about a film and not a person. All I need to do to contest a PROD is remove it, and you are not allowed to reinstate it - if you disagree then you need to go to WP:AfD. I will re-remove the PROD and if you reinstate it I will seek admin assistance at WP:ANI. Squinge (talk) 12:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
