Check your user signature[edit]

I've noticed that your signature has been displaying like code in DYK nominations. I suspect the first character in it is a space. Check it and remove it if it's there. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh you were correct, thanks Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Community[edit]

Hey, sorry about not getting back to you. I would be interested, though I don't know that I'm yet in the best space to be working towards GA nominations. Perhaps in the future when things are more relaxed. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who series 2 ratings[edit]

Hi OlifanofmrTennant, I am just letting you know, in order to save you time and in case you begin one yourself, that I will create a ratings table for the Doctor Who series 2 article in my sandbox, which I will then publish on the article. All the best, Lotsw73 (talk) 13:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise against using Doctor Who News. Its a pretty iffy source, regardless I will put toghether some prose. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning templates[edit]

Don't template regular editors, it's insulting. If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason. -- Alex_21 TALK 04:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason." Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and I explained why your edit was reverted, and attempted to educate you. Your reasoning was "wrong". Try to see the difference, ta. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You say "Don't template regular editors" because its rude yet [1] Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A valid usage to educate a newer editor. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If your citing essays WP:SENIORITY. At that point I had around 4000 edits a GA and an FL. So seems kinda like a bit of hipocracy on your part. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish to not be educated as a newer editor and refuse to discuss material, simply let me know, and I'll simply add my reasonings in my revert summaries. I could cite my own hundreds of thousands of edits and over a dozen GA's, but that's not relevant. You ever heard of the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you"? If someone's trying to help you, they're doing it to support you. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesnt seem like youve been trying to be helpful. It seems like youve been trying to refuse to work with me. Like when you killed a GAN because you refused to replace a source. Infact when I did replace a source you cited WP:PRIMARY concerns. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can't help you if you won't discuss. I explained the reasoning behind the source. Simply because you didn't like my reasoning, doesn't mean that's a refusal. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Except it was. "As far as I can tell, that RNS discussion has not concluded," I repetadly invited you to participate in the open RNS. Your only piece of evidence was "Its been used before". Noting else. You were asked for more reasons and you circled back to "Its been used before. "nor does it have any clear consensus." Outright lie it was pretty clearly against the use of Doctor Who News. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your opinion on my editing is duly noted, cheers. I also recommend you be more collaborative with editors in the future here, but that's entirely up to you. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I literally just pointed out how you refused to be coperative and your response is to tell me to be more collaborative? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I can see you're just turning this into a "no u" argument. Go ahead and do what you want, ignore the advice of experienced editors and bite their hand. Good luck with your future editing, if that's your plan. Cheerio. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nominations of book articles[edit]

When you nominate a book article for deletion, please explain why you feel that the book fails WP:NBOOK. This would allow other editors to follow your reasoning and decide whether they agree. You might want to add explanations to your recent nominations for this reason. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
