Disambiguation link notification for October 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chaos Rings II, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just asking

Hello, I just saw your edits through the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime page history. Your edits are good. But I do wonder why did you choose that kind of username? I know I am not supposed to comment on editors but this type of username is slightly shameful (in my opinion of course). If you are bothered by my words, I apologise in advance. It is your talk page so whether you reply or not it doesn't really matter. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Masum Reza(talk) 13:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

You know, you could stand to be less nosy about how other users choose to make their usernames, especially since it's not even a violation of the username policy. It is not your place to comment at all. Sk8erPrince (talk) 14:38, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Please don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. You might know that I am still a teenager and it's almost normal for me to laugh. I am not an adult yet. Even you are not a real prince. Besides neither I nor he asked for your opinion.
Sincerely,
Masum Reza(talk) 15:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Says the one that harassed another user based on just their username first. If you don't like their username, then leave them alone. Don't you know that it's common for users to criticize the disruptive behavior of others? Yes, you've been very disruptive as of late, and I'm getting tired of it. And just because you're a teen, that doesn't mean you get a free pass when you act in a disruptive manner. If you truly believe that you weren't stepping your bounds in the first place, then why even apologize in advance? Sounds like you aren't sure of yourself. Stop being self-contradictory. You need a mentor because you're not familiar with Wikietiquette in the least. Learn how to read policies and guidelines.
PS: "Sk8erPrince" is a username I've been using since 2012; that doesn't mean I'm royalty. Why does it matter to you? Who cares? Do you see just how ridiculous it is to criticize other editors' usernames in an attempt to use them against themselves? It's so meaningless because there's no purpose to it. Not to mention that it's nosy, rude, and just plain condescending. Just stop. Please. It's annoying. Sk8erPrince (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

I never said that I would get a free pass, in the first place. Please don't just imagine things. Yeah I do remember that I laughed at your username. You know I am still a rookie. In your previous talk you said that I didn't read MOS right. The truth is I did read the simplified one. You said that I need a mentor right. Where to get one?
Sincerely,
Masum Reza(talk) 15:37, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't really care about whether people laugh at my username or not so that's fine. I created this username when I was a teenager, and I'm just someone who likes dogs, so that's why it's the way it is. Although I'm no longer a teenager, it's just too much trouble to change the username that I've been using for over 10 years, so I've just stuck with it. The dog2 (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

I see. Well I do like dogs and cats as a pet especially dogs. Those are faithful and loyal animals.
Sincerely,

NEED CLARIFICATION FOR THE BAN FOR EDITING ONE'S OWN USER TALK PAGE

I assume good faith and humbly appealing for ban civilly. and requesting for a courtesy blanking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#OWNTALK users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Courtesy_blanking User talk pages are almost never deleted, although a courtesy blanking may be requested. From time to time, a discussion will have its content hidden from view based on the judgement of the community, an administrator, or another functionary. This generally is not done except under rare circumstances, such as where public view of the discussion may cause harm to some person or organisation. To avoid having such text in the most recent version and thus being indexed by search engines, the debate will be blanked out of courtesy.

https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APrompri&type=revision&diff=4045863&oldid=4045861 I didn't mean to be uncivil, I kept my conversations short & quick and requested to an unknown user for deletion of my user page as seen in edits before blanking, I wasn't aware of courtesy blanking which was previously issued a friendly admin on my deletion request in this Wikimedia project, Wikipedia. ‪ The dog2 said, 'The reason given is Lack of civility. We told you that you should not be deleting other users' comments per site rules, and you have repeatedly ignored our warnings..' Please define civility.

I didn't repeatedly ignored any warnings, I received a single confusing message, without any explanation saying, ' I'm confused by your recent edits on this talk page. What's wrong with having a message on your talk page?' and happened to be make a single batch edits.

I never received such warnings, their single sentence was never appeared to be warning or obligatory rule & and also his statement didn't comply with my user talk page rights I have (see Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#OWNTALK), they said, ' I'm confused by your recent edits on this talk page. What's wrong with having a message on your talk page? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 01:44, 10 August 2020 (UTC)'

A warning template was never issued and I had less then 10 edits in wikivoyage and am a newcomer in that project, wasn't aware much. (see Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility#Avoiding_incivility Be careful with user warning templates. Be careful about issuing templated messages to editors you're currently involved in a dispute with, and exercise caution when using templated messages for newcomers (see Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers). Consider using a personal message instead of, or in addition to, the templated message.

It shouldn't have been a IP ban, but rather a talk page ban. I am not comfortable with the exposure of my IP, which doesn't comply with General Data Protection Regulation of EU.

Before the ban over civility things needed to be considered, the user with ban privilege didn't bothered to speculate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility#Blocking_for_incivility Be sure to take into account all the relevant history. Avoid snap judgements without acquainting yourself with the background to any situation. Poorly considered civility blocks have at times worsened disputes and increased disruption. Civility blocks should be for obvious and uncontentious reasons. Users should be clearly warned, before being blocked for incivility, and should be allowed sufficient time to retract, refactor or explain uncivil comments. Even experienced contributors should not be blocked without warning.

For a newcomer in wikivoyage, Friendly space policy wasn't maintained. Admin wasn't cooperative at all and didn't inform me of courtesy blanking rather asked me to keep a single message in user talk page. https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy

I'm keeping a short note of my conversations of this issue in r/Privacy , censoring the username. Please forgive my unaware imprudence.

edit 1: I noticed curprev 16:39, 9 August 2020‎ LPfi talk contribs‎ 762 bytes +576‎ restored welcome message - the talk page is not private undo Tag: Manual revert and a new edit curprev 11:15, 10 August 2020‎ SelfieCity talk contribs‎ m 762 bytes 0‎ Protected "User talk:Prompri": If the user’s claims are accurate, probably best to semi-protect ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (indefinite))

I'm confused about 'if what claims were true.' as reason for for semi-locking my own user talk page indefinitely.

edit 2: can not appeal in wikivoyage, in my own user page. dont know how it works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Appealing_a_block#Requesting_to_be_unblocked

--Prompri (talk) 12:25, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

@Prompri: I have replied to your comment on my talk page. It's OK to appeal the block here if necessary. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 12:52, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Translation tag

I don't know what your criteria are to think an article should be tagged for translation. Sure, there's more about arias on the Italian Wikipedia for an Italian opera. But do we need it? Do we need a tag which distracts every visitor reader of the article? - I never use that tag, not even for stubs. It's just normal that a native-language page has more information that could be translated if someone has the time. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't know if there's a set criteria, but as it now stands, the article is quite cursory, and there's information on the Italian version of the page that could be added to the English version. Unfortunately, I don't speak Italian myself, and Google Translate isn't 100% reliable, so we will need someone who actually understands Italian to translate. Just so you know, some of our other opera articles have way more complete information. Look at Orlando (Handel) for comparison. The dog2 (talk) 22:55, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me about opera articles, - I wrote quite a lot myself. Only few of them with arias, but Dove sono. I just question the usefulness of these tags. I've seen them linger for ten years, and find them distracting, but said so already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
