 | This user seeks adoption by an experienced editor. (Users offering adoption) |
Hi Swarm. I have asked you 4.5 years ago if you could adopt me, and you graciously answered with "Yeah, I'd be happy to adopt you!" I doubt that you would remember me because I deliberately did not do editing for years to gain back my peace of mind and confidence from users such as Howard the duck that are seemingly micromanaging my edits and rejecting them. Can you please guide me on how proper editing works? or maybe I can do it on another platform aside from Wikipedia that I'm not aware of. I wanted to create and edit sports wikis again, but I'm somehow bummed that most of my updates are candidates for deletion and reverting back to the previous version. I apologize that I was out for a long time. Thank you in advance! elivic (talk) elivic (talk) 12:01, 29 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

As Kazakhstan is a large country with 4 different geographical timezones, I find "uncontentious fact" a bit broad. Also, the above argument leads with recent changes to that fact, and argues that sourcing in a different article should be sufficient. ~ While I grant that the edit is definitely correct and may stand as patently obvious material, that wasn't that obvious.
Anyway, did you feel that my adopted tone was categorically wrong to use on ANI? I'd take guidance on that. (I don't feel this follow-up would be appropriate anyhow, so that's why it's on your talk page.) JackTheSecond (talk) 04:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
