| *This is NOT a general trivia section. | |||

| *The title of the new article should be '''BOLD''' and placed on TOP as the FIRST ITEM. | |||
| *Generally limited to SIX items, but whatever the case - just make sure it fits whatever else is on the page at that time. Use your common sense. | |||
| *NO STUBS (moreover, try to find new articles that are 1,500+ bytes in size) | |||
| *Try to pick articles that are ORIGINAL to Misplaced Pages (not 1911 or other data sources) and that are INTERESTING. | |||
| *The "Did you know?" fact must be mentioned in the article. | |||
| *Images should be sized to 100px or SMALLER. | |||
| *Do not use fair-use images. Instead, find a related free image (PD, GFDL, CC etc.) as an alternative. | |||
