Revision as of 18:22, 24 October 2013

Welcome! Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Misplaced Pages? Create an account! Your host, cpe-172-250-31-151.socal.res.rr.com (172.250.31.151), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Time Warner Cable. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you. To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Misplaced Pages in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected. In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation. Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made to Generation Z. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Intuitive guide to Misplaced Pages

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (172.250.31.151) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) 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 this page. Again, welcome!

Double redirects

Please acquaint yourself with WP:Double redirects and stop trying to modify the redirect Generation Y. If you are dissatisfied with the current title of Millennials, you need to start yet another renaming discussion. Favonian (talk) 15:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Voting

I'll say it one more time, but I won't say it again. While RMs are not decided by a vote alone, closing editors will take numbers into account. Voting multiple times thus games the system. We know that you support the request because you made it to begin with. Would you appreciate me making comment after comment with Oppose written before each one? --BDD (talk) 19:25, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

I'll say it one more time, it appears you changed my first vote. You cant do that at all. I clearly stated support with the word (again) on the second. 172.250.31.151 (talk) 19:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

October 2013

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is IP insists on double voting. Thank you. --BDD (talk) 19:34, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Millennials. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please do not edits posts which have replies. NeilN 17:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

They are my comments, and I can edit them. 172.250.31.151 (talk) 17:56, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Not if you're changing what others are have already replied to. See WP:REDACT. --NeilN 18:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I dont know what you're referring to. Could you stop editing my comments on the talk page please? 172.250.31.151 (talk) 18:22, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
