Trouted

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |

Please don't perform non-admin closures as speedy delete
At Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Erlo1783. According to WP:NACD: "Non-administrators should limit their closes to outcomes they have the technical ability to implement; for example, non-admins should not close a discussion as delete, because only admins can delete pages." That means speedy delete is not an option available for non-admin to conclude. I should add that closing such a formal process with such little participation a mere five hours after request is also improper according to policy. By so incorrectly closing you prevented others from participating during what would normally be a 168-hour process. For these reasons I suggest you avoid performing non-admin closes in the near future. If I can be of any assistance, please call on me. BusterD (talk) 09:49, 23 February 2023 (UTC) "
- @BusterD Sorry, I won't do that again. I assumed closing would be proper since the page had already been speedy deleted, but the discussion wasn't closed. Zerbu 💬 13:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. I failed to see something significant. The admin's speedy preceded your close. I apologize, you have done nothing incorrect. BusterD (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- No worries! If something like that happens again, I'll explain in the rationale that the page is already deleted. Zerbu 💬 20:40, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Linking the activity or sysop acting is always useful. Saw an unrelated but insightful comment from you this morning. Very much appreciate your WP:BOLD style. Don't be shy if I can be of service. BusterD (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
