	I am aware that you will most likely retaliate to this message with a rather angry reply, but I am quite distressed at your inability to have fun. While it may be inconvenient for some users to have GISHWHES team names on Jared's wiki page, it is also a sign of your uncaring attitude to charities that you have locked down his page. I politely request that you allow ALL GISHWHES participants to post on his page for the 6 days (in reality not a very long span of time) so that we may complete our challenge and raise more money for Misha Collins' charity RandomActs. Upon the end of the event I will personally clean the page and ensure it is back to it's regular standard of information. On another note, I am sure Jared Padalecki himself would approve of our use of his[REDACTED] page for Misha Collins' event. I also appologise if my formating of this request is incorrect as I am new at editing Misplaced Pages Yours sincerely ] (]) 06:30, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

	Hi I know you have probably had enough of the strange edits and having to 'tidy' up after them, but as others have mentioned this is in aid of GISHWHES... a scavenger hunt that brings people together, encourages artistic flair and originality, it also more importantly gets people raising money for international concerns and local charities too.... please lift the embargo on the editing... it all finishes after the weekend...

	Good evening. Saw that you are admin for Misplaced Pages. I occasionally get on an edit , usually when I see some idiot put something outlandish and flat wrong. I read on wiki a ton. How would I move up my senority so to speak so I can edit even more articles? IE like the one on Halloween. You locked it and rightfully so, I think it was a good move. However in the opening paragraph last line it ends by saying (paraphrasing) "that Halloween has turned in to robbing and looting. Which I don't think is accurate. Nor does it have a proper citation to back that assertion up in my opinion.

Worm That Turned

Guideline and policy news

Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
