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 ***"), 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)
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.... -- Someone else 08:13, 18 Aug 2003 (UTC)

203.59.48.208 is almost certainly a recurrence of User:TheStick, who is under a hard ban (same MO and IP range). I'd recommend keeping the block until such time as this user might show up under another address, there are no legitimate edits from this IP as far back as early last May. - Hephaestos 02:09, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

When someone makes a comment on the text of an article, but incorrectly makes it on the article itself, the best thing to do, in my experience, is to move that text to the talk page. Just reverting them without comment will, I fear, just frustrate people and lead them to vandalism.
Perhaps I'm missing some wider picture? Martin 09:47, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- Ahh - I missed that you reverted him after he'd vandalised Catholicism, right?
- It's unfortunate that there's no easy way to tell people that their content has been moved, not deleted. User talk pages aren't giving the "you have new messages" text, and newcomers might not even realise the talk page is there.
- Maybe we should leave a brief clue in the page itself? (comment moved to talk:catholicism) or some such? It's a tricky one. Martin 12:46, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I originally left this comment on Heine's page but he keeps deleting it, so in case you didn't see it while it was there; I left the talk page unprotected for him to respond as I thought it was important that details of his previous vandalism were visible, but your choice.

Hello, Zippy. I put my response to Talk:List_of_Japanese_authors. Sorry for late. -- Taku 00:31, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)
OH NO!
Are you as alarmed as I there is not references to Zippy the pinhead in wikipedia!!!! Dominick 02:44, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Eugene Scott doubled
Hi. Your last edits to Eugene Scott caused the page to become accidentally doubled (will anyone ever fix that damn bug?). I reverted them; can I ask you to try your additions again. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- John Fader 01:47, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I think I fixed it. -- John Fader 01:55, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
NPOV
Just a thought: NPOV means neutral point of view. Whilst this may be an oxymoron, what you deleted from George W. Bush definitely was POV, not NPOV. Cheers, Smoddy (tek) 22:08, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- D'Oh. I meant "entry not NPOV." --Zippy 01:09, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
My links
The links to http://gurufocus.com are the specific URL, if you move your mouse to the text, the URL will show up.
For instance: the links on Warren Buffett page links directly to Warren Buffutt record of Stock Picks. I don't understand why you cannot see them.

2008 in Iraq
You just deleted this. I was in mid edit to remove the speedy tag and place it on AfD. While it was an obvious POV rant, it was not IMO nonsense in the CSD sense of the term. Please consider undoign your deleteion, or approving my undeleting it. i don't want to simply override another admin on such a point. DES 08:20, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- I was mistaken, it does not meet the definition of patent nonsense. I believe it does however meet the speedy deletion criteria A1: "Very short articles providing little or no context." What is your opinion on this? --Zippy 08:30, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Speedlite vs Speedlight
Your edit to Speedlite was incorrect. Nikon use the very similar term Speedlight for their flashes. —Morven 21:28, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the correction. --Zippy 00:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

About dr Robert Cook
I added some data and some discussion to that mini-stub. I hope, sufficient to let that article survive some days. The problem was that Hiltrud Strasser article have a link to Robert Cook, but there was a problem of disambiguation - so I posted that very brief stub, just to let interested people to find his official website.--Alex brollo 19:33, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
R. Cook article done
I posted a "draft version" of that article today. Please, can you take a look and edit my English (that's far from good :-( )? There is a template saying "Please help this article editing English"?--Alex brollo 07:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
