Please be careful

Hi, thanks for helping to keep Misplaced Pages free of vandalism. Unfortunately, in In this case, you reverted and warned the wrong user. It can happen, and I've done before myself, but it's something to watch out for. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 02:14, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Oops, thanks for pointing it out, I'll try be more carful from now on.. tla 02:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Your AfD closure

You closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Josh Kiszka (2nd nomination) today. Please reverse your closure. You have too little experience to be closing AfDs. You even failed to mark it as a non-admin closure. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:10, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will reverse it. Forgot to use (non-admin closure), I will use that in the future. TLA (talk) 19:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, but I think you should wait until you have more experience before closing AfDs.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:49, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Understood. I saw that a lot of them had clear consensus, and noticed that it was mostly Liz managing the AfD discussions, so I wanted to lighten the load. I will refrain from doing that for now. I appreciate the comment TLA (talk) 19:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited Investment in Azerbaijan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Azerbaijani. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Draft:SongLyrics

I appreciate the comment and pointer to WP:GNG, but please only do so once you are a AfC reviewer. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 01:39, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Got it, thank you. Wanted to explore all parts of Misplaced Pages, apologies. I am looking forward to applying soon! TLA (talk) 01:41, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

too much enthusiasm

Hi. Typical of many new editors, you have a surplus of enthusiasm. Many people really catch on fire with editing and want to get involved in projects a little earlier than our community expects. We have learned in the past twenty years that over-eager new editors can accidentally cause problems because they haven't developed a long track record of level-headed editing. Big bursts of hundreds of edits can also seem to us like an effort to game the system. Misplaced Pages has been burnt before by secret paid editors who created a persona and were quick to edit only to find that they simply wanted to escape scrutiny for later nefarious edits. I recognize that our community hesitancy can frustrate eager editors who just want to pitch in. I recommend you get involved in content work, perhaps by taking up one of the tasks listed at our reward board. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
