Happy editing! Nick Moyes (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I will look into that. Craffael.09 (talk) 16:06, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

August 2022

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Breakingviews, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 10:36, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

First of all

Hey Wikidad! Lets start with my first issue: User talk:Mccapra#Copyediting tag, Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#Muhyi al-Din Faris-Idris Jamma'. Ruwaym (talk) 14:35, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Ruwaym ! Can you specify your request ? I do not really understand what is it you want ... Craffael.09 (talk) 21:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

After reflexion, you probably just want me to copy edit your articles.. That is not a problem, happy to help.Craffael.09 (talk) 21:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, exactly. This is how I get to know more about English Misplaced Pages and the English language at same time. Ruwaym (talk) 01:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I looked into your pages and corrected what I considered as translation errors and removed the templates as I did not see any reason for them at the moment. Please tell me if those templates come back or if you need further help with translation. Craffael.09 (talk) 11:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Craffael. I feel i am a withered user and wasted my time on Misplaced Pages, no one respected me on my homewiki, and Persian wp too. what you suggest for retrieval. Ruwaym (talk) 23:45, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Well... First of all, nobody is a "withered user" and everyone, even the smalls editors are useful in WP. Secondly, I do not understand what you mean by retrieval. Please clarify that for me as I would like to help out. Craffael.09 (talk) 11:34, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Edit filter false positives

I believe I've fixed the bug that causes some of your recent edits to be blocked by the edit filter, apologies for the inconvenience. OhNoitsJamie 01:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you ! Craffael.09 (talk) 09:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering

Hello! I was just reading the noticeboard (as a lurker) and came across your username at 'Bailey Zappe'. As I have not seen you around before, I decided to check at the volunteering section as you claimed to be a volunteer. It seems like you have typed your username wrongly at the section, that's why it does not show up in the 'Last volunteer edit' in the DRN status that you have above. I'm just going to go ahead and correct it, if you don't mind. Jolly1253 (talk) 13:56, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Haha thank you very much. I was wondering why it did not recognize me as a volunteer lol. Craffael.09 (talk) 15:34, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. We are glad to have another volunteer. I closed the Bailey Zappe case because of a little-known but important rule, which is that the discussion should be on the article talk page, where third editors might be watching. They can resume their discussion. If their discussion is inconclusive in 48 hours, they may file again, and you can mediate the case. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:50, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Ok ! Craffael.09 (talk) 17:06, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Already Open Cases

Please do not jump into an active role when there is already a volunteer handling the dispute. If there is already a moderator, any other volunteer is welcome to join the case as another editor. But if two volunteers both appear to be acting as leaders or moderators, it will probably confuse the editors. Please continue working on the Herzegovina dispute. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Your previous account

Hello. Please disclose the username of your prior account that you allege was hacked. Curbon7 (talk) 20:10, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Heeey Curbon7 !!! Well, that account was deleted and a good 75% of the edits reverted. I think my account's name was GandalftheGreyDumbledore, but I can't seem to find it anymore lol. Craffael.09 (talk) 22:26, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I just realized that that it's so crazy it isn't really credible lmao. Craffael.09 (talk) 22:26, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

You're correct that it isn't credible. As WP:DELACC makes clear, it is not possible to delete user accounts. Additionally, Special:Users shows that only a handful of accounts starting with either "Gandalfthe" or "Gandalf the" were created in 2017, and none of those appear to have had anymore than around 3 edits. Please do not lie about the length of your tenure to try to gain clout on Misplaced Pages; if you do, you will likely be interpreted as not being here to build an encyclopedia and blocked. It's ok to be a new editor. However, Misplaced Pages works largely on trust; if editors don't trust you because you're lying about your length of tenure, how can they trust you to resolve disputes at WP:DRN, an area you have shown interest in, or to be an administrator, as this folly shows. Please be truthful. Curbon7 (talk) 23:35, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

adminship

Hi. Requesting adminship is a kind of test on Misplaced Pages to identify those who don't get it. You failed that test. Your RfA isn't even transcluded correctly. Asking for the edit watchlist notice is proof you are nowhere in position for this. The best thing you can do is ask to have that RfA deleted and forget about adminship until you can rack up 10000 more edits and get a good article or two. Don't take this personally. Misplaced Pages has a steep learning curve and you are not even approaching the point you would need to. The good news is, the best thing about being a Wikipedian is editing articles. No adminship is required for that. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:30, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

• Craffael, as Chris has noted, you've gone about this request incorrectly, so I've removed your request from the watchlist notice talk page. We expect a significant amount of editing history, and you have not yet reached that level by a few orders of magnitude. I'm also concerned that you're claiming significant experience with a previous account, but you don't actually seem to be experienced, and you're unwilling to identify that previous account. I agree that it would be best to just ask for the RFA page to be deleted. You can just ask for that here. If you read the WP:RFA page, there are several suggestions for reading material on how RFA works. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:37, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

• Ok then. I just wanted you guys to know that I did disclose the username Iused before WP:Village Pumps/miscellaneous. Craffael.09 (talk) 09:47, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

  The account you claimed to be your old account doesn't exist, here or on the French WP. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

I suggest that you add a {{db-user}} to Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Craffael.09 and reconsider an RFA some years in the future. There are a lot more things for you to try out first. Including uploading a picture, checking new pages, renaming a page, tagging pages for speedy delete, adding categories, actually add text to existing articles, and correct spelling mistakes in articles. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:47, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

• I'm beginning to have serious concerns about this account. You are demonstrating a significant lack of experience, while simultaneously claiming to have a lot of experience. You don't really have any business mentoring other users; mediating at DRN; applying for the page mover right; applying for adminship; claiming you've fixed short descriptions in order to get a barnstar... It takes time to gain experience. Don't rush it by faking it. There is no shame in being new; there is shame in pretending not to be new. Earn it by actually getting the experience first. For starters, I'm going to go ahead and delete the RFA page, to prevent you from acting on any more impulses. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		Short Description Barnstar
		I award you this, arguably way too late, for helping clean up long short descriptions. Luxtay the IInd () 14:37, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

That's great, thank you !!! Craffael.09 (talk) 15:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Could you point to one long short description you've cleaned up? --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:17, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
