| VQuakr (talk) Thank you.

Hello, I'm Angus1986. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to SpaceX Merlin have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. Angus1986 (talk) 16:27, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to SpaceX Merlin. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Misplaced Pages, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (67.61.89.32) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Talk:2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Misplaced Pages uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

VQuakr (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC) I understand scholarly style. I attempted to upload images but was unable to (prevented by wikipedia), and so added links to the images on my website. I was not attempting to spam. Should I upload images to some service like dropbox and link there? Thank You Very Much, 67.61.89.32 (talk) 22:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. Those still wouldn't be usable on Misplaced Pages, since they are original research. VQuakr (talk) 22:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
VQuakr (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC) Thanks again for the reply, but no, these plots are not original research - any more than other plots of the JHU data (and other data sources) which are already present in the article. Many plots are shown without being original research. Is this not true? 67.61.89.32 (talk) 22:13, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
VQuakr (talk) - oh, and I'm still pretty new to this - VQuakr - are you a 'Misplaced Pages representative' (not sure that's the right phrase), or an editing/contributing person like me? Thank You, 67.61.89.32 (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
