Hello, SBD091,
Why did you empty out this category, "out of process"? If you believe it should be deleted, please propose deletion at Categories for Discussion. If you have questions about this, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kara-Khanid Khanate. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Disruptive editing
edit
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did on numerous recent articles. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 16:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, SBD091,
Draftification is only appropriate for recently created articles. Please do not draftify older articles, meaning articles that were created more than 3-6 months ago. You realy don't have enough editing experience to make good decisions for when draftification is appropriate.
If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Please review draftification policy
edit
Hi SBD091, I see you've moved the article Zhao Mao to Draft:Zhao Mao in this edit. As stated in the section immediately above this one, moving articles older than 90 days to draftspace is not compliant with Wikipedia policy. The relevant guidance is WP:ATD-I, which states Older articles—as a rule of thumb those older than 90 days—should not be draftified without prior consensus at AfD or another appropriate venue.
The "other appropriate venue" bit is currently disputed, but that some consensus is required, rather than just the perspective of a singular reviewer, is not contested.
I think we can all agree that the article currently at Draft:Zhao Mao is not great, but the policy compliant options are to improve it, tag it for improvement, or bring it to AfD (where it will be met with editors opining that "AfD is not cleanup").
You don't seem to have the New Page Patroller or AfC reviewer permissions, so I'm not sure why you have access to a draftification script, but you should really familiarise yourself with policy and ask for help at WP:AfC or WP:NPP before taking the kind of actions you are taking.

- I have reverted this draftification, as it was extremely inappropriate. Not only was the article beyond the 90 day window, but it was already reviewed through WP:NPP. I would also note that you did this draftification a day after the message from Liz above. Please respond to this in acknowledgement so we know you are WP:LISTENing. Curbon7 (talk) 01:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- For the same reasons, I have also reverted your draftifications of Zhao Yong (general), Hu Mei (Ming dynasty), and Ding Yu (Ming dynasty), the latter of which was also conducted after Liz's message above. Curbon7 (talk) 01:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
