| Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on ] for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few ]s there are, among them the precious ], up to date. | Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop!

| It's not that "survived" is so wrong, it just gets added so often right after someone dies and the obit is a source of info on them. Months later, it seems subtly wrong, so I figured, why wait<G>? BTW, why is it such a mystery what kind of cancer Mr. Hines died of? Nothing I've seen so much as breathes a word.... -- ] 08:13, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC) | It's not that "survived" is so wrong, it just gets added so often right after someone dies and the obit is a source of info on them.

Revision as of 22:04, 22 August 2003
Hello there Zippy, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you ever need editing help visit Misplaced Pages:How does one edit a page and experiment at Misplaced Pages:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Misplaced Pages:Help or add a question to the Village pump. BTW, nice work on the Fucked Company article. I further "wikified" it. Cheers! --maveric149
Please don't create pages that only have an external link. See What Misplaced Pages is not. --mav
Hi there & welcome; here's a neat trick: If you want to sign something you wrote on a talk page, just type three tildes (~~~), and that will be replaced by a signature. Four tildes and you also get the date & time. Cheers --Eloquence 00:49 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC)
Re: Osama bin Laden, I think the last (current) version is much more accurate than what we had before and I don't plan on editing it further. Sorry to be such a pest, DanKeshet 19:26 Feb 4, 2003 (UTC)
Congratulations, you have just been made a sysop! You have volunteered for boring housekeeping activities which normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops basically can't do anything: They cannot delete pages arbitarily (only obvious junk like "jklasdfl,öasdf JOSH IS GAY"), they cannot protect pages in an edit war they are involved in, they cannot ban signed in users. What they can do is delete junk as it appears, ban anonymous vandals, remove pages that have been listed on Votes for deletion for more than a week, protect pages when asked to by other members, and help keep the few protected pages there are, among them the precious Main Page, up to date.
Note that almost everything you can do can be undone, so don't be too worried about making mistakes. You will find more information at Misplaced Pages:Administrators, please take a look before experimenting with your new powers. Drop me a message if there are any questions or if you want to stop being a sysop (could it be?). Have fun! --—Eloquence 01:34 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
