@Drmies: Hey there! I hope you're having a nice day. First of all, mani many many many thanks for your very polite welcome message! About the category i created, i did not make it as a test; rather, i thought it would be very helpfull to categorise notable bad games in there (with the notability creteria of the list of the same name, this essentialy means that the contents of that page and my category must be the same). Many thanks again, Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 22:47, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi. When I nominated that I didn't know there was an article associated with it--frankly, I think that the article is problematic as well. "Test" is what I chose to be diplomatic. I think there is a huge difference between "this game got some bad reviews" and "this game is notable for having received bad reviews", which I don't think is a case you can easily make. Drmies (talk) 22:51, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

@Drmies:Hmm, youre kinda right about the article itself; While i support its existense, i think it could use some trimming. Still, the category i created was to contain all of said article's entries, as to aid navigation in certain circumstances; plus, it can be altered at a moment's notice if the contents of the main article change.Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 22:59, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

2022 Ukrainian summer counteroffensive

Ukrainian military commander already said the offensive was delayed due to lack of manpower and equipment. Using a Ukrainian politician and western media as sources is not acceptable. 24.91.190.77 (talk) 20:08, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Please provide a source backing your statement. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 20:10, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

AFD participation

Hello, Handmeanotherbagofthemchips,

It's very unusual for an editor as new as you are to spend so much time in article deletion discussions. Since most of your comments are simply "Delete per nom", which shows you haven't really examined the article under question, please review WP:DISCUSSAFD which illustrates how to participate appropriately in AFDs. It would also help if you read the WP:PERNOM section of the very useful essay Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions (actually, read the whole essay).

I don't want to discourage your participation, just encourage you to actually review the articles being discussed, analyze their sources and make a thoughtful contribution to the discussion. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

I had no idea how many dozens of times you added a useless "Delete per nom" to AFD discussions today. This is ridiculous and doesn't help a closer considering an AFD discussion. Please stop doing this or you might face a block for disruptive editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:12, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Should you wish to, you can go back to your AFD comments and strike them by placing <s>Delete per nom</s> around the comments on AFDs where you haven't done your due diligence and evaluated the articles being discussed. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:21, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Liz Ηey there, thanks for reaching out to me, and sorry for the very late reply.

Please accept my apologies, because you are right. I, indeed, did not check all of the AfD submitions i voted on;, and, to my admittance, i thought it was more of a vote rather a discussion thing. At some point (though prolly not now because its 2:15 after midnight where i live rn), i will re-evaluate my votes, and strike out those who were made in-effect disruptively.

Again, thanks for reaching out to me, and please accept my apologies as to what i did. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Liz, please note this, followed almost immediately by this and other edits. Drmies (talk) 21:32, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Do excuse me, but, what did i do wrong this time? On that article, while i did nominate it for wp:prod, another editor removed the tag and added stuff to the article; not only i didn't contest this, i also thanked them (with the thank buttonn that apears after the revisions). Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I'll be happy to excuse you, but that was just an ill-conceived PROD. The assumption is that you do a bit of due diligence before you PROD something. You didn't, and so another needless notification popped up on the page of an article creator, and someone had to go improve the article quickly before it got deleted. So I'm glad you thanked the editor, but the PROD was not, how do I say this nicely, well thought out, and I think User:Simeon saw that too. Drmies (talk) 02:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree. I'm not sure the right way to start here is to criticize and delete others while adding nothing yourself. Your learning curve affects others who are just plodding on in GF. A prosecuting attorney who's hasn't been to law school?

Maybe you want to rate articles? There are specific yes/no questions, you can leave a (polite) summary, and if you get it wrong, no big deal. Nobody loses anything. If you come across a clear stinker you can act, but generally you could just see what others can do. Just a thought, right now you are stepping on a lot of people's toes. Sammy D III (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

In that case, i'd be more carefull next time nominating a stub for deletion Thanks for this!

Smmy, this article rating thingy seems interesting! When can i see it? Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 16:37, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't do this stuff and you'll probably figure out the process. Maybe start here? I think that most projects have similar pages. Good luck. Sammy D III (talk) 17:10, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Ahh, i think i got it. As a member of the classical music wikiproject, i'll se if they have something similar. Many thanks! Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 17:13, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

AfDs

Thank you for participating in AfDs, I've noticed that at Well Oiled (film). It's nice that you agree with me here, but I've seen in most other AfDs, you write [unfortunately], not enough notability present as of now. That's fine, but IMHO you could explain your rationales a bit more, such as in relation to WP:GNG or WP:SNG guidelines, IMO, for the more contentious ones. Thanks and have a nice day (or night)! :) VickKiang (talk) 03:26, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

@VickKiang Hey there, many thanks for contacting me.

Admittedly, you seem to be right. Since the thread right above this one was posted, i started taking a much better look at the pages nominated and the other arguments (especially the latter).

I use that specific wording to denote that my own voting explanation would not be so different than the others (and that's not always; when there is another argument for deletion or non-deletion, i post that instead.). However, it seems that i must, even if theese cases, provide a small personalised rationale, to break up the monotony. And that's what im about to do from now-on.

Again, many-many-many thanks for bringing this one up! Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 23:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

It's another week later and I see that you are still active at AFD. I would like to reiterate that the crux of the AFD process is to examine the article and sources, to do research to find other sources, and only after that to make a determination. That determination needs to include a justification for the decision. "... does not meet GNG" is a decision but one should say what it is about it that fails GNG. That usually has to do with sources, and with the relevant policy on notability. Thank you. Lamona (talk) 05:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

@Lamona Ok got it, im gonna get even more descriptive in my votes in the future. Many thanks for the heads-up! Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 19:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Some chips for you!

September 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Linkin Park. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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. Left guide (talk) 23:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
