He wants to delete but u have reviewed the article I am reporting this user..harshil Please explain him why u removed the deletion banner previously..— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rishabh.rsd (talk • contribs) 17:39, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rishabh.rsd. When I first nominated for speedy deletion, there was barely enough there to even figure out what the subject of the article was. I removed the nomination when I found the Vice article, because I expected that meant there was probably more sourcing available in non-English languages. Now it looks like the scope of the article has been changed entirely. I honestly don't personally know enough about Jains to know whether the subject is notable or not. However, if it's going to be a scope on par with similar articles like Persecution of Hindus or Persecution of Christians, then it's probably something you may want to consider incubating as a draft for a while before moving it into main space. As it stands, its currently an article about Anoop Mandal, but with the wrong title really. So I'm not even sure which one of these really the AfD should be addressing.

Saw you reverting some misgender vandalism on List of unlawfully killed transgender people. Thank you very much. Gwen Hope (talk) (contrib) 18:54, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Gwen. No problem at all. I'm afraid it looks like school is back in session across Wikipedia, and I seem to be finding a lot more childish vandalism lately. GMG^talk 18:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your talkpage message was rather premature. Let's talk after you've figured out whats going on. Poveglia (talk) 14:41, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Poveglia:

1. Responding to an editor who is frustrated by a protracted content dispute with If you want someone to agree with you you should pay them for that service up front.[1] is entirely inappropriate and wholly unhelpful.
2. If someone comes to a help forum with an issue that you do happen to be personally involved in, let someone else handle it rather than overtly fanning the flames with bad faith accusations. Furthermore, don't contradict others who do try to help on subject with which you are unfamiliar. I assure you, the OTRS team is diverse and competent, and well able to handle a wide variety of issues with professionalism.

You may consider this a warning. Help forums are specifically set aside as friendly places for editors to seek assistance. If you continue to contribute in a way that is counter productive, you will not be the first person I've seen topic banned from contributing to them all together.

I explicitly wrote: "Let's talk after you've figured out whats going on.". Yet you ping me already. Wouldn't it be better to give me the benefit of the doubt until you've figured out what's going on instead of jumping in with both feet and fanning the flames like you did? It's not that I don't want to talk to you, I am happy to, but let's do that on a level playing field where both parties know what's up. Poveglia (talk) 14:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Our conversation had a bit of a rough start; if you want to we can forget about that and start over. Poveglia (talk) 16:04, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Poveglia: The message here is fairly straightforward. You are more than welcome to contribute to our helping forums so long as you contribute in a manner that is helpful. If I see another response like this one Please do not post the same question twice, you are wasting our time (see also here, and feel free to read that essay in its entirety) to an editor who has made all of four edits, yet cannot find their sandbox, then the next correspondence you will received from me will be this one.

It's fine to make mistakes and occasionally get things wrong. Our helpers will be happy to give advice if you do, and contributing to our helping forums is a great way for everyone to learn about Wikipedia, whether they're asking questions or answering them. But you cannot be abrasive. A lot of people have put a lot of work into making these welcoming place for others to seek advice, and that much is non-negotiable. GMG^talk 16:26, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If it's fine to make mistakes then I'll forgive you. But please, in the future, think twice about doing something like this again. Read, read, read, then act. That'll avoid uncomfortable situations like this. If you ever figure out what's going on then feel free to ping me again, no need to apologize, we'll just start over like nothing happened.

G'day everyone, voting for the 2019 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open. This is a simple approval vote; only "support" votes should be made. Project members should vote for any candidates they support by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September 2018. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:37, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the assistance! It's been a stressful couple of days, so it's very nice to meet helpful and courteous people! 6YearsTillRetirement (talk) 15:32, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries 6YearsTillRetirement. Feel free to stop by on my talk page for either project if I can be of any help. GMG^talk 15:36, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
