Hello!

I'd love to be able to share all of the information to help improve the article. Problem is, I don't know where I should put the links to the Docs...on this talk page, or on the talk page for the James Gwyn article?

My apologies. Somehow I got confused in my first time use of the "sandbox." Certainly the Myers' article was not ready for a formal posting onto Misplaced Pages. I was just concerned to make sure I saved the starting work I was doing to develop a proper page. Your rejection of what I had done so far was perfectly correct. A while back I had created a page for Jerome Myers, but not using the sandbox tool. I just kept trying different formatting ideas most of which I learned from going to other pages for other artists and clicking on their "edit" buttons where I could then look "under the hood" to see how they accomplished their attractive formatting. I would then copy one piece of code and text (switch the page back to "read" that I have visited), then go back to my edit page and paste it in. Then I would play with it, changing the text to my text and adjusting other elements to see what would happen when I looked at the results in "preview." This sort of trial-and-error approach seemed an ideal way to experiment and learn, and by doing so I got a much better hang of how things are done in the magical world of Misplaced Pages. If you take a look, I think you'll find the results of my Jerome Myers page turned out quite well. I have been told by a number of experts in the art world that it has been very helpful to them in looking back at certain aspects of American art at the turn of the century.


'''Announcement'''
I have been a delighted user of Misplaced Pages and greatly admire what it has been doing in creating this enormously useful research resource. I do think there may be even better ways to introduce and involve newcomers in how to go about creating their own pages. There is much information about creating pages offered in Misplaced Pages, but some of it is a little daunting to find. More real life examples of actual pages and how they are put together and evolve might be a definite help. Also possibly an assortment of actual forms filled out that were used to upload photographs, etc. I had tried searching for the term "inherit" in Misplaced Pages to see if I could find an example of someone who had inherited pictures, or other graphics that they wanted to upload to the Commons, or using the Upload Wizard as a sample of what I might want to do.
* Please let other wikiprojects know about our February ] event.

Didn't mean to be so long-winded. Congratulations on what you're doing and the help you're giving others.

:Hi Terry. Welcome to Misplaced Pages. As I pointed out on your talk page, there seems to be a very strong ] regarding this company. While the wording may have changed, it is clear that you are largely here on Misplaced Pages to both promote the Matchmove company and their products. I highly recommend you use ] to have the article created if indeed the subject is notable. Furthermore, despite the assertion of notability via the Red Herring award, the article requires a wide variety of ]. If you have any questions, I know Misplaced Pages can be hard to navigate, but you can ask questions at ]. On a side note, based upon a preliminary look at the product articles and company articles, even with the award, it does not seem the company meets the criteria set in ]. The award is impressive, but again, if they have not attracted widespread coverage from multiple reliable and independent publications where the company is the direct subject then you may have to wait until a time when if should the company gain more notability, an article could then be created. ]] 10:55, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention.

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

I have reverted your close, this was completely inappropriate for a NAC. ]] 09:15, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:Hi Giant. Would you please be able to specify how this was an inappropriate NAC closure? There was a 5 keep and 2 delete discussion where the delete camp argued the effectiveness of ] and the keep camp citing ] as met by him playing on an ] listed at WP:NFOOTBALL. A delete result seemed clearcut to not be a likely result and thus under the NAC appropriate closures criteria. ]] 09:24, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

:::I received that information from line one of the article, "Andrew Higgins is an Australian footballer who currently plays for A-League club Perth Glory as a midfielder". Unless the wording is incorrect and should be, Andrew Higgins is an Australian footballer who currently does not play for the A-League club Perth Glory as a midfielder, or belongs to the A-League club. The very verb of 'plays' inherently describes having played. ] states "A player who signs for a domestic team but has not <u>played in any games</u> is not deemed to have participated in a competition, and is therefore not generally regarded as being notable." From both camp arguments at the AfD, he has in-fact played in a league cup <U>game</U> imbalanced the delete arguments making it a clear-cut keep outcome.

::::Where does ] mention <u>cup</u> games? This player may meet the spirit of NFOOTBALL, but not the letter. You have completely failed to understand the policy you are trying to implement, and I have even less faith than before in your NAC here. ]] 09:53, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
:::::No need to be incivil Giant. I'm simply discussing the interpretation. The fact that it does not say 'cup' and simply says 'any game' is technically inclusive of cup games. ]] 09:54, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
::::::I'm not being uncivil, I'm trying to help you understand why your NAC was wrong, and why your interpretation of NFOOTBALL is wrong. It talks of playing in ] only, not cups. ''This'' is where the AfD debate has arisen, and hence why you should not have closed as a NAC. ]] 09:58, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Paul McCartney

I was wondering why you blocked editing on the Paul McCartney page and if it is the right time to restore editing. 64.136.121.66 (talk) 22:11, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@64.136.121.66: The article has been protected since 2008 and in 2015, I restored editing access to autoconfirmed editors. The article still receives a significant amount of traffic and do not suspect it would be any less prone to vandalism than in its past. Given how many administrators have been involved in the protection status, long before my adjustment, I think you need to seek community consensus on Talk:Paul McCartney to have it fully unlocked.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
