==DONT PATRONISE ME.

Waverley pen

Thanks for starting the article on the Waverley pen. However I redirected to an article on the manufacturers, Macniven and Cameron, and merged the content, since the company is likely to be more notable than the product, with more reliable sources available. Thanks again for your contributions, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 08:17, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

== That was a very silly contribution. The company is unimportant. The saying is.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ninth Bridgewater Treatise

A tag has been placed on Ninth Bridgewater Treatise requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Abu Torsam  18:28, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Old Weather logo.xcf

Thanks for uploading File:Old Weather logo.xcf. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I have permission from the person who purports to be the copyright holder.

You are a thorough bigot and part of what is wrong with Misplaced Pages. Why don't you allow people like me to get on with improving.

I am tired of your snide patronisation.

Over linking

Hello, I recently reverted your edits on the article White Castle per the Misplaced Pages policy on over linking which recommends avoiding adding obvious or redundant links. As such, it is unnecessary to link common terms such as pound, octagon and others. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 19:18, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Spong and co

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Spong and co, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Spong_and_Co.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Spong and co

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Spong and co requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

• See Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste - minor modifications of wording are not enough to avoid a copyright violation, you must write completely in your own words. JohnCD (talk) 14:02, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Commenting on other editors

Please remember to comment on content, not on contributors. Discussing another user's age or schooling as part of a dispute about content, as you did at User:MauchoEagle, is not a good way to handle interactions with other editors. (Also your comment should have been on his talk page, not his user page.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 09:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

MauchoEagle was very unpleasant to my contribution. I don't think he knew anything about Crieff, the nature cure, Preissnitz, hydropathy, the temperance movement in Scotland in the C19, teetotalism, the Church of Scotland (either before or after the schism of 1843). While I agree my response had a modicum of ad hominenism, for which I apologise, if Mauchoeagle is to make a useful contribution to the 'Pedia, he must take a more inclusive and less culpatory approach. I am quite willing to write on a personal basis to him, but he must understand that others take the 'Pedia seriously and do not like their work so casually dismissed. Charles Norrie

April 2011

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you are reminded not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Greaves' Rules. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Cind.amuse 05:37, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
