Responding to an ongoing discussion

edit

@Jhawi 3897, Wikipedia's discussion pages, (e.g., the Teahouse, Articles for deletion, Image talk pages) do not really welcome advice and opinions from newer editors, particularly chitchat-type input like "Yes", "I strongly agree" or "How do you play this game". Such input creates a distraction for other editors and may require them to remove your remarks. See WP:TALK. Quisqualis (talk) 05:46, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Quisqualis I think I'm going to leave wikipedia, the only thing I'm trying to do is make some "wikifriends" that can help me become a good editor, now the only thing I'm getting is things like "oh you did a bad, bad thing" and just all diffferent kinds of remarks that hurt my feelings. Why is this done here, aren't new wikipedians accepted?? This really hurts my feelings, especialy since I'm new here. Jhawi 3897 (talk) 13:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Where are the new editors like me go? We need some advice from the experts. Jhawi 3897 (talk) 13:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
The Teahouse is a good place to go and ask questions about Wikipedia, because many experienced users hang out there to provide answers. If you are not an experienced user, it's best to stick to asking questions and not answering them.
Yes, you're quite new, and just starting to learn how things work around here. Best to slow down. Start small. Read a lot, edit a little. 97.113.177.161 (talk) 13:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, but when I went to the teahouse, as you can see in the message earlier, I am being told not to be there, they don't accept my adivce, or opinions!! What is going on? Jhawi 3897 (talk) 13:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you are new, but your edits to date have been in areas and actions where new editors tend to make mistakes. Examples: Submitting someone else's draft to AfC without asking them first or making any improvements to the draft before submitting; "Trouting" an editor; Adding non-useful comments at AfDs; Offering advice at Teahouse. I suggest you focus on improving existing articles by adding (or subtracting) content, with appropriate references and Edit summaries. Teahouse IS a place to ask questions and get useful answers.

Ohh, ok, so you are saying I should stay in teahouse and ask questions, but not edit too many articles? Jhawi 3897 (talk) 14:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
@David notMD Also I did not know that "trouting" was a bad thing, I thought it was something fun to tease someone with. Jhawi 3897 (talk) 14:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Editing articles is fine – that's the best way to start! Creating new articles is really hard, though. Unfortunately many new editors think that creating new articles is what Wikipedia is all about, and when they try to do it they have their drafts declined multiple times or their articles deleted, which is no fun at all. As David NotMD says, adding sourced information to existing articles, or improving articles in other ways, is a better thing to focus on. Maybe you'd find the tutorial for new users helpful?

FYI - You are free to delete stuff from your Talk page. (Doing so acknowledges you have read it.) Some people leave everything, others archive, some delete everything. Even if deleted, it still exists when an editor looks at View history for your Talk page, but not seen if they just look at the Talk page. David notMD (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

ok @David notMD thanks for telling me!! ☮🐸 JOE€Đ𝒾ⓣ𝐒𝔀𝐢𝔨ιρ𝒆Đ𝒾Δ ☝🎄 (talk) 18:39, 1 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
