I'm talking about this IP talk page. They only had 2 edits (both vandalism), and were reverted. You were the first warning. Just wondering why did you start with an only warning? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 00:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Happy to explain. The user was vandalizing by changing potentially controversial info in quick succession, which is why I did that. Feel free to let me know if that didn't clear it up for you. Thanks --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Uh oh, looks like I got them confused with another IP. I have apologized and removed them from AIV. Sorry --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine. A quick look at my talk page will tell you I've made a lot of mistakes too Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mind if I change the warning to level 1 or 2? Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Go ahead. Seriously. And about mistakes, it's funny, because I've never made this mistake before. Oh well. Yes, you may do that. Signed --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oddly enough, this is like the 2nd time in 3 days I've notified a experienced editor about giving only warnings first (although the other one doesn't seem to have just made a mistake) Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 01:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Me Da Wikipedian Yeah, the only other place I've done it, as far as I can tell, was here. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops wrong Barnstar. I meant to give "The Random Acts of Kindness" one. WikiLove didn't seem to work.

Here it is:

@Myrealnamm Thanks! thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 16:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because you created the page, it won't let me send a thanks, but thanx - FlightTime (open channel) 02:27, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime Anytime! Just wanted to see what others thought about my pet peeve. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have the same pet! lol - FlightTime (open channel) 03:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. I was talking about a pet peeve, but I got info about a pet. Whatever, it's fine. Back to RC patrolling... thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it's me. I thought it was funny :P - FlightTime (open channel) 03:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, ok. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 03:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi TheTechie. Unfortunately, I have just closed your RfC early for a failure to follow WP:RFCBEFORE. I know this is probably disheartening to hear, and I don't want to discourage you. But the RfC encountered immediate and overwhelming negative feedback. I think that could have been avoided if the RfC had been better workshopped ahead of time. That could have allowed you to appropriately understand issues like Unified Login, or the other issues that editors raised. First raising and workshopping the issue so that you at least understand the issue better allows you to create a better RfC (i.e. one with a better, but rarely guaranteed, chance of success). I think any editor who has been around a while has inherently created an RfC that they look back and think "D'oh!" I know that I have created some not so great RfC's (for example, I created a sports RfC at one point...despite not knowing anything about sports...that went over pretty poorly). I hope this can be a learning moment, and I'm sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 05:42, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I understand, thank you for the feedback. I probably should have asked on the RFC talk page before creating it. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  RfC talkpage? I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you mean WT:RFC, that's probably not as helpful as a more well seen, or more topic specific, venue. One of the advantages of say asking at a place like the talk for the policy you're trying to change is that you'll get the page watchers of the policy, who have probably been involved in previous RfCs on the subject. They might still bristle at the idea, but they can at least usually give you a sense of key opposition arguments you will need to consider, or other unforseen issues. In my experience, they'll usually provide some helpful clarification to the RfC wording. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 19:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Okay. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 20:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
