Username

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Misplaced Pages's username policy for the following reason: appears to be promotional. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Misplaced Pages administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Misplaced Pages:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Tiptoety 23:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Tiptoety! My username is the username I use for most all my online accounts. I have long ties to this user name for many years. I see no reason why you would consider removing or changing it...

Okay, but please understand that if you make promotional edits for DougsTech.com like you did here you will be blocked. Tiptoety 23:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Tiptoety! I make edits and sign them with my email address and domain name for contact...and knowledge verification purposes only.

I am not referring to your signature, as that already appears to be taken care of below (much appreciated!), but instead to your edits where you promoted DougsTech.com by adding their (or your) URL to your userspace. I am simply notifying you that if you can not place spam links withing anywhere in wikipedia, even on your own userpage. Cheers, Tiptoety 23:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Signature

Hi, and thanks for your hard work cleaning up vandalism. Just a thought but you might wish to consider removing your e-mail address from your signature - SPAm and all that. Pedro :  Chat  23:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Pedro! I will take care of that right away!

That's great. Thank you! Pedro :  Chat  23:37, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Dom Turner

Hey Dougs. I don't mind revision of my edits but it's not like I'm new to wikipedia. Check my contribs if you like. As far as notable instruments go in this article, in what way is my edit "not constructive"? The box is there in the template and the instruments are of interest. I can provide refrences if you like as Dom Turner acknowledges the use of those particular guitars both at his web sites and on the liner notes to his albums. I'm not trying to argue the point, would just like to get your views. I await your response before reverting edits. Cheers Darrell Wheeler (talk) 02:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I usually revert obvious edits, your edit may have been wronfully categorized as vandalism. If this is the case, I apoligize. I have added you to my whitelist.

Thanks for removing vandalism

Sorry about that! We have a lot of users vandalizing the site with the usage of "gay". It triggered my blacklist.

Owen Roe O'Sullivan

I am fairly new to Misplaced Pages. I looked up Owen Roe O Sullivan and saw that the article was almost a stub and contained incorrect information, and that more information was requested. I spent a lot of time writing and referencing a good long, sourced article about one of the great Irish poets, and you reverted it to the original, incorrect stub apparently because I am not acquainted with all of Misplaced Pages's conventions. That sort of deletion is counter to the spirit of Misplaced Pages. Moreover, I wrote one of the quotations in the "stub" myself and it was misattributed. You now have reverted it to the incorrect version.

Which is more important: free information, or encyclopedic knowledge of Misplaced Pages style? I consider your revert to be vandalism.

I don't suppose I would be tempted to write many more articles for Misplaced Pages at this rate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evangeline (talk • contribs) 20:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes mistakes happen. And, it appears this time one happened. My apologies!

Hi

Excuse me, you should be careful of what your reverting as with this edit] and afterwards you accused a potentially good contributor of vandalism using a warning template, I think an apology is in order. The Dominator (talk) 00:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey...

I just want to say: change the genre from numetal and I'm going to take it to the admins. This is established and has been for a long, long time.

You would not believe how mad this made me -- my face is red with anger right now. Serious, don't change it nigger. 74.245.150.36 (talk) 00:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you want to get banned from Misplaced Pages? Use another racial slur, and you will be. Take that to the admins.

what?
