Wow

		The Anti-Flame Barnstar
		I was honestly so nervous that your experience at WP:ANI would have stopped you from any future contributions. I was so glad I remembered to check back in and saw your recent contribs! Not only have you continued editing, your actions in recent discussions have been downright exemplary. Even in some extremely rough () discussions, you continued to AGF until it was genuinely no longer possible, and kept your cool far longer than I probably would have been able to. I'd still work on the length of your responses a little bit, but compared to your initial issue it's barely even a problem. I can't wait to see where your editing goes in the future, and I'm so grateful that you decided to stick around. Let me know if there are any other rules or discussions that need some explanation, or anything else you might need. Enjoy Wikipedia! JarJarInks٩(◕_◕)۶Tones essay 18:37, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

If you're looking for feedback, I do have a couple of suggestions.

1. Try to focus more on editing articles than discussing on talk pages. That'll help you learn more about WP policies and help the project.

2. If it's clear that a discussion isn't going anywhere, and it's not something like ANI where you need to be there, try to disengage fully if you can, or take a break if you can't. Arguing in circles only makes both parties frustrated. If you think there are still points to be made or that the discussion needs to continue, try WP:3O if it's applicable.

Other than that, you're doing absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work! JarJarInks_{٩(◕_◕)۶}^{Tones essay} 18:49, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the advice and help! I shall do my utmost to put it into practice. Guile's Theme (talk) 19:10, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

One last thing: It can be really helpful to other editors to introduce yourself on your userpage. For example, my userpage explains what I tend to edit and when, some of the groups I've joined, and a photo of my dogs for a personal touch. LaffyTaffer, another user that participated in the ANI discussion, introduces themself by a nickname, states what they like to do on-wiki, and lists some of their Barnstars (like the one I gave you) and editing stats. I'm not saying that you need to put tons of information on there, but just having "Hi, please do not template me. I will instantly revert it. Thanks" makes you come off as not open to feedback, which can definitely give the wrong impression. Maybe adding a short introduction and a few topics you're interested in could help other editors better understand you, and allow for more pleasant and productive discussions.

I also noticed that you removed the Contentious Topics template from your talk page. By doing that, you've acknowledged that you've read and will adhere to the rules that govern those topics. Unfortunately, one of those rules is that you must be Extended confirmed status in order to edit in the Arab–Israeli conflict area. While you do have over 500 edits and your account is more than 30 days old, your automatic EC status was revoked here because you haven't made enough direct edits to actual articles. The revocation wasn't a punishment; its just that because you've made so few edits to articles, it's unclear if you have enough experience on WP to edit in that area. If you want to edit pages related to the conflict, including talk pages for those articles, you need to make at least 500 edits to other articles, and then request the permissions here. Until you are given that permission, you cannot edit those pages.

I know Wikipedia can be extremely confusing, especially as a new editor. But these policies are in place for good reasons. If you're curious, there are 5 separate ArbCom cases relating to the conflict that established these rules. You can find them at ARBPIA, ARBPIA2, ARBPIA3, ARBPIA4, and ARBPIA5. Nobody is expecting you to read all of these, least of all me, but it might help you understand why these rules exist if you're interested.

Jumping in just since I was pinged. The info about CTs is good, but I'd like to note that the userpage thing isn't a particularly big deal at all. Having an informative userpage can be nice, but plenty of folks have blank userpages, redirects to their talk page, etc. What's there may come off as a little bit abrasive I suppose, but we're all hopefully mature enough to handle that when it's not uncivil. I think it's perfectly reasonable to request not to be templated (even if I'm personally an advocate for templating the regulars). ᴸᵃᶠᶠʸTaffer💬(they/she) 17:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

CS1 error on Copper

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Copper, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A dates error. References show this error when one of the date-containing parameters is incorrectly formatted. Please edit the article to correct the date and ensure it is formatted to follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidance on dates. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 02:20, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Edit on Coptic language

Hi there. I participate in Project Check Wikipedia. I fixed a couple of errors flagged in the Coptic language article, and noticed that an edit you made re-introduced the errors. I have fixed them again, and thought it would be helpful to explain a little further.

• Error titled 'tag with incorrect syntax': this relates to the use of break tags. Per H:BR, 'MediaWiki also converts </br> to <br />, but this form is invalid. Please correct these tags.' Changing the tag from the valid <br /> syntax back to the invalid </br> syntax results in an error being flagged. Please use <br /> or one of the other acceptable syntaxes listed at H:BR.

• Error titled 'title linked in text': this relates to wikilinking an article to itself. Per What generally should not be linked, subsection MOS:CIRCULAR, 'Do not link to pages that redirect back to the page the link is on (unless the link is to a redirect with possibilities that links to an appropriate section of the current article).' If you wish to bring emphasis to the subject mentioned in its own article, using ''' triple quotes around a term will result in boldface. MOS:BOLD and MOS:EMPHASIS have guidance on when and how to do so appropriately.

Thanks, and happy editing! Pikkupapupata ^💌 🌷 14:19, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Challenging RfC closes

Hi! I noticed that you had reverted my closure of this RfC regarding the infobox map of the Tang dynasty article. It's fine if you disagree with my assessment; that being said, you should consider officially challenging my close, rather than simply reverting it. RfC closes can be challenged at the Administrators' Noticeboard. I look forward to seeing your post on there, if you choose to do so. Mit khavershaft, Royz-vi Tsibele ^{(redt mit mir!)} 02:34, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Done, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Challenging_a_Close_and_Other_Issue_with_a_Tang_Dynasty_article_RFC Guile's Theme (talk) 03:17, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Also, why did you remove the disputed tag from the infobox? Even if the RFC closes, there are still reliable sources that explicitly refute the claims of the map the infobox is based upon thus should have a disputed tag. I'm for changing the map to something that would not have such a disputed tag but apparently that is asking a lot. Guile's Theme (talk) 03:21, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Battle of Dafei River when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Specifying |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= needs to be defined in the template in order to work. You can look at the documentation for the template being used, but it is also helpful to use the preview button before saving an edit; this helps find any errors that have been made and ensures that the values added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is highly recommended that editors use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions of if I can help explain further, please let me know! You can also contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 23:43, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
