Hi Keystonerididin. After reviewing your prior contributions, I have <span class="plainlinks"></span> rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing ].
*Rollback should be used to revert ''clear'' cases of ] ''only'', and not ].
*Rollback should never be used to ].
*If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
*Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see ] (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my ] if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Hi again, Keystoneridin. I saw your CSD nomination of this page. I don't disagree that it should be deleted, but I think that G3 is the wrong criterion for it. It should be done with ], a subset of A7 (lack of asserted importance/significance). It looks like the kind of well-meaning autobiography we get all the time, and while they're not appropriate for Misplaced Pages, they're also not ] in the Misplaced Pages sense. There are all sorts of special rules for vandalism (such as reversion of it being exempt from the ]), so we need to be careful in what we label as vandalism. Thanks! ] ]] 19:21, 21 June 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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Aaron Harstad for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Aaron Harstad is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Joeykai (talk) 19:58, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
