Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.
The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

On citing yourself or persons you know
Dear AceUofT,
Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages!
I see that a rather large number of your edits cite a person with the initials S.V. as a source. Please be aware of the potential conflict of interest and the restrictions on citing yourself or persons you know.
I would also like to point out that edits should only be marked as minor when there is no change in meaning and/or when there is zero chance that someone will disagree with it, such as for spelling corrections, technical fixes, reverting obvious vandalism, etc. Other changes, even if they concern only one or two words, should never be marked as 'minor'.
Thank you for your attention, and happy editing!
