Need some kind human judgement

I am nice and kind. And now I have impact. But when I didn't, and I was a child trying to understand something that was taught in school, Wikipedia was here. Anyway so now i finally manually requested an account cuz i can help wikipedia too. and i shouldn't have to reveal anything about my academic and personal background to make corrective edits. and clearly, none of us ever do, only knowledge increases knowledge. So now at this point even with less than one year here and only 30ish unique corrective edits, i'm proud of any positive impact on someone's learning experience i may have had --- which means i'm actually more proud of having been able to reduce the negative impact.

But i was confused about my own conduct today when an individual with a wikipedia account and editing access, proclaiming themselves as a vandalism fixer, while fully being a wikihounder, AND thought they had enough power just by making vague jargon refs to DISCOURAGE GOOD PRACTICES. i recognise the specific problems and corrective steps must be taken. and that's the end of my confusion right here. I have enough self assuredness now, in addition to competence, that i can use it to support my lifelong personal judgement and loyalties, and safely leave this concern for the wikipedia admins to handle in any way whatsoever.

This is not really an immediate threat to me, but a threat nevertheless. So if an admin systematically went thru my contribs and logs and finally my talk page which had a rude reawakening today after the first sweeeet welcome message. and obvs then this wikipedian's actions and the way interacted on my talk page and also if an admin could tell me they felt the same feeling of cringe more than anything when the user linked to shortcuts/templates while actively violating the same template, that would be affirming. Keep up with the horrible status quo? i say NO. AradhanaChatterjee (talk) 17:28, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi AradhanaChatterjee. I'm not sure what you're asking for. If you want to rant, go right ahead. If this is a content dispute, we have Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. If this is a user conduct issue, you may take your concerns to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. -Fastily 00:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User:Neodiprion demoides

Hi Fastily,

My user page has been speedily deleted.

The nomination reads, "A tag has been placed on User:Neodiprion demoides requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time."

Previous to the deletion, the content of my user page was the taxonomy of the species which makes my username. In my opinion, this falls well within WP:UPGOOD as "A small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material".

It is plausible that the user who initiated the deletion ignored WP:U5 ("[...] except for plausible drafts and pages adhering to Wikipedia:User pages § What may I have in my user pages?" and "Read [...] Wikipedia:User pages § Deletion of user pages") and WP:DELETEOTHER ("Except for blatant or serious matters, it is preferable to try contacting the user before deletion")

Per the above, I believe that the deletion is in error, even if not vandalism. Neodiprion demoides (talk) 18:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

The history of edits by the nominating user suggests an abundance of similar nominations. The text which this user is adding to the talk page is misleading at least in two instances:

• "Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:$username, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable" - as best as I understand, this is not a relevant criterion for user pages.
• "or if you have already done so, you can place a request here" - WP:RFUD is not applicable for speedy deletions; after contacting the deleting editor, the next step is deletion review.

• Please see this ANI discussion, which may interest you, though it is not about you. It is just relevant to this thread. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

  Not sure I agree this content meets U5. YMMV. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

  I saw it as a gibberish page created by a new account with few contributions. Happy to re-evaluate if someone knowledgeable on the topic can explain to me how this text is useful in an encyclopedic capacity, but not going to lie, my spidey-sense is tingling; I strongly suspect OP is a troll/NOTHERE. -Fastily 03:32, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Fastily

  If not anything else, the former content can be seen as an explanation of where my username comes from.

  Assuming trolling where there is none by far is not appreciated. Neodiprion demoides (talk) 03:48, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

  See also https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?id=487434. Note that taxonomy is not copyrighted by any means, so copy-pasting does not seem to be an issue per se.

  Asking for modification / reformatting might be appropriate. I do not see it as a deletion, much less a speedy deletion. Neodiprion demoides (talk) 04:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

  I completely agree with Fastily; the user won't listen to anyone and won't accept what they are being told. The user page was unrelated to their would-be contributions on Wikipedia and not useful at all. I've been patrolling user pages for 2 years and tagged thousands for speedy deletion. I just know for a fact they weren't here to contribute positively, and the way they argue pointlessly with every admin doesn't look good for them at all. Like I said before, personal attacks and continuous disruptive behavior should result in an indefinite ban. Waqar💬 08:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Fastily

  Soft ping: any intent to re-evaluate per the explanation above? Neodiprion demoides (talk) 22:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi you sited my account for speedy deletion

Hey you sited my site for speedy deletion. I did not self promote or advertise. I have been published in lots of credible magazines. What exactly do you need changed to re-submit. Heather Lynn Gordon (talk) 01:18, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Heather Lynn Gordon. You may not use Wikipedia to promote yourself, your business, and/or your services. Please be advised that repeated violations of this rule will result in loss of editing privileges. Thanks, Fastily 07:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

declined request

hey there

thanks for responding to my request and even though it was declined due to not patroling for long enough I do understand the reason

thanks, Daisytheduck ^{quack quack} 09:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
