Developing your user page - it is easy!!!
Misplaced Pages is a megalopolis and like in any city, interactions are very important. I recommend that you develop your user page so that people who visit your page may know your interests and share in them. It could be a single line telling others of not only your name but what you like or a complex page with every single thing that interests you on it. This is a great way of building up work groups that facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge on articles, talks etc. Happy building!!! CrossTempleJay talk 15:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Become a great editor through diligence.
Being a member of the welcoming committee on Misplaced Pages I encourage you to help Misplaced Pages in any way you can to increase human knowledge. If you have credible information about a topic with verifiable references please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over 9800 page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the autoconfirmed users ] group as this will greatly improve your Misplaced Pages experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Misplaced Pages and remaining on Misplaced Pages for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips. CrossTempleJay talk 15:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Adding media to articles.
Media files, be it images, drawings or sound files are an integral part of Misplaced Pages's articles. They apart from enriching articles, make them more credible too. You can add media files to both your new articles as well as once you are editing. To do so you can search for it on wikipedia:commons or you can either upload the image if you have it using this file uploader or . Please be informed that you must provide accurate information about the file being uploaded since they are reviewed and if if is found that the license given to the file is false, it will promptly be deleted. CrossTempleJay talk 15:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Spotting bad edits and vandalism.
As you age on Misplaced Pages, one thing you will come across and probably address will the issue of bad edits or vandalism. There are several ways of spotting them:
- by reviewing articles on your watchlist regularly and looking for bad edits
- verifying new changes to pages and articles
If you happen to come across a bad edit you may:
- ask an editor you trust to review the work for his/her inputs
- you can rollback the change if you have credible information that the edit is indeed bad
- request that the necessary change be made on the article's talk page.
Whatever you do, please be very careful about the changes you make, for a rule of thumb, discuss issues you are not sure of first before making changes. CrossTempleJay talk 15:59, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
bad edits or vandalism?
G'day All Rows4,
you threw out my edit of Plan_Dalet with the apparent grounds: "this is not a blog." Perhaps not, but it (wiki) is supposed to be a reference source - or so I presume(d). I made another edit to a related article, also thrown out, on grounds: WP:V = "Material added to articles that is not attributable to a reliable, published source appropriate to the content in question may be removed," my accent on *may,* but you must be familiar with all of WP:V.
What stimulated my edits was this: "The meeting significantly advanced Herzl's and Zionism legitimacy" - an impossibility given the subsequent theft of most of Palestine by invading alien Zionists; that wiki thus contains a statement not attributable to any reliable, published source - unless such a source contains lies.
IF wiki is to be useful THEN it needs major revision, to revert to a *true* history.
BTW thnx for telling me something I already knew ("1 revision rule.") As if I would persist in the face of yours or any other's rejection.

- I am happy to hear you were already aware of the 1 Reviosn rule. Seeing as you are a new editor with less than 10 edits, that was not obvious to me, but I'm glad you took the trouble to familiarize yourself with it. You should now do the same for a few other policies, such as WP:NPOV and WP:V. I think you will find that if you charge into editing sensitive topic areas such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict using POV, emotive terms like "theft" and "invading alien Zionists" you will (a) not convince anyone; (b) find your edits routinely removed based on the WP:NPOV policy and (c) find yourself blocked for disruptive editing. Take care. All Rows4 (talk) 22:40, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions warning
The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Arab–Israeli conflict. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.
