The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
This is for your valuable efforts on countering Vandalism and protecting Wikipedia from it's threats. I appreciate your effort. You are a defender of Wikipedia. Thank you. PATHSLOPU06:17, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I am only a human. I make mistakes from time to time. Unless if the mistake is repeated, there is no need to warn me and I will likely thank you for reverting my error.
Let's keep my talk page clean. Cursing is a bad habit and is not super professional. If you have trouble with cursing, you can view this wikiHow article that will help you stop cursing.
Wikipedia matters go on this talk page only. If you have matters related to other projects, please see the talk pages for the full list of wikis that I edit.

Based on my very brief research I'm unable to find any policy to support that non-extended confirmed users may not participate in talk page discussions or make edit requests, assuming they are non-disruptive. Perhaps I missed something, but just removing talk page comments Special:Diff/1246968388 in the manner you are may not be supported by policy. Kcmastrpc (talk) 03:00, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmm... from my understanding of WP:ARBECR (which is what A-I is subject to), Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. I think that means that unfortunately a non-extended-confirmed user is excluded from that topic area entirely. I have no objection if those comments are put back, though. They did appear to be good faith comments nonetheless, at least from what I have seen so far; but the page just got off of protection, and because this is a very recent topic, it would be better to let this cool off a little bit. Last thing I remember in this topic area was a WP:Administrator action review or WP:ARCA over revoking editor's extended confirmed status for "gaming" to get the role just to partake in a contentious topic area, I don't remember how that turned out but that user who complained got the role back.

I presumed such restrictions would be more explicitly declared in a talk page header; but I digress. This topic area has a lot of red tape and I want to make sure I hadn’t missing anything. I noticed SFR has imposed sanctions on this page in particular so perhaps they can shed some light on whether or not I’m missing something. (which I probably am =D) @ScottishFinnishRadish courtesy ping. Cheers! Kcmastrpc (talk) 03:24, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The entire topic area is covered by WP:ECR, even on pages that don't have an edit notice. The only contributions that non-ec editors can make in the topic area are constructive edit requests. They cannot take part in any discussion that relates to the topic area on any page. Talk page discussion used to be allowed, but not contributing to RFCs, but after October 7th that became disruptive as well. Arbcom adjusted ECR by motion in, I think, December.
