Hey, thanks for helping out with new page patrolling. I notice you marked ] as patrolled, and added an unreferenced tag to it. Turns out that page was a copyright violation of and should have been tagged for ]. Usually it's pretty easy to spot pages that have just been copied and pasted from a website. Be sure to keep an eye out for this in the future, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks. ]] 21:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

;Contributors to this Issue
Well, we have stumbled into a bit of a hole in Misplaced Pages's copyright policy. I saw this photo on the Fox 21 site first, which is why I instantly recognized it. I have no reason to doubt you (although, out of curiosity, why is the image so small, and with no metadata?), but it is credited to two different people on and . I'll restore it to the articles, but it would ease my mind if you'd send in verification of authorship through ]; it would also keep others from making the same mistake I did. Or even better, if you have a better resolution version, I'd be ecstatic if you would upload it, as it really is a striking image! -<b>]<sup>(])</sup></b> 01:57, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
* {{user|Dom497}}
:* The image is so small because I had to edit it a bit. None of the smoke or anything else is altered. In the original photograph, a haze covered up my lens so I used a de-ionize feature on my Macbook to take away the smoke. When I re-edited the photo, I accidentally made a small resolution file which I uploaded here. I've had some photo's in the past deleted because of clarity. As far as the multiple authors, I submitted the photo to three news stations. From my understanding, there are around 11 people who claim to be authors. I'm not picky about it because I want everyone to see it. I took the picture with a Nikon D80 with a small range telephoto lens with a 2 inch clarity extension and a red light filter. I will be glad to upload all the required documents. Thanks!<span style="border: 1px solid #CC3333">]]</span> 02:52, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to notify you that the "unreferenced" tag you added to ] and ] was removed. However, the article contained Basketball-Reference and NBA links before you tagged the articles. You have several excellent contributions, but you should be careful not to be too hasty when tagging. Earlier today, you simply added a reflist to ] but I believe you should've removed the advert-like information. Information such as "It makes playing there like no other place on earth. Playing in a volcano makes this golf course simply one of a kind" is not encyclopedic and should be removed. A user named "Rotoruagolfclub" started the article and would fuel suspicions of advertisement. ] ] 00:31, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1886 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Misplaced Pages is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
