AFDs

Hello, Doha Dear,

You came back after being away for 3 years, with only 20 edits, and leapt into participating in AFDs which require a thorough knowledge of Wikipedia policies, guidelines, standards of notability on a variety of subject and an ability to adequately assess the reliability of sources. Unless you are a returning editor with a new account (hopefully not blocked), you do not have the experience to judge what should happen with articles on the project. Please gain more experience with a few months of steady editing, improving articles and reading up on Wikipedia rules.

If you have questions about this, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:39, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

While I've not been an active participant on this site, that doesn't mean I am ignorant of how the site operates. Before I decided to renew my activity on this site, I've been reading through the various pages regarding Wikipedia's policies, rules and requirement ahead of making edits. I wanted to make sure that I was fully cognizant of how Wikipedia worked in order to make proper contributions. I have no desire to go blundering into a realm where there is a very specific set of guidelines to follow. And among the rules I've read were WP:AGF, which I may suggest you reread before making insulting assumptions regarding my knowledge of how Wikipedia works. Thank you. And not to be ungrateful, but I dislike chocolate chip cookies. Doha Dear (talk) 14:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
