 | Scam warning If you are visiting this page because someone claiming to be me contacted you asking for any payment of any type, it is not me and you are being scammed. If they are threatening to delete or take other adverse action against some article, they can't actually do that and you should not under any circumstances pay them any money or further engage with them. See also this scam warning regarding the Articles for Creation process and editors who edit for pay. |
 | As I frequently work at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I am "aware" of all the various areas covered by discretionary sanctions, and this notice may be considered evidence of awareness if enforcement is requested. It is not necessary to leave me notices advising me of such areas. |

Please read before posting
[edit]- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.

Wikipedia:Standard offer or equivalent?
[edit]Re this editing restriction, I think it's time for me to appeal for a "standard offer" return to normal status. Where would you say is the right place for me to make my case? Dicklyon (talk) 04:23, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
I found WP:Banning policy#Appeals of bans imposed by the community which says WP:AN is the place. Let me know if you have any advice. Dicklyon (talk) 04:35, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Dicklyon, WP:AN would indeed be the correct place to make your appeal for modification or removal of that restriction. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to redirect this to Nessum. Can you release the lock on it? ~Kvng (talk) 14:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Kvng, I removed the protection from it so you can do that. It looks like the spamming was a while back, but if that becomes an issue again, let me know and I can protect the redirect. Seraphimblade Talk to me 14:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
According to the message I received on my first article post, it was deleted by you because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.
Pardon my lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding the wiki world as I am a newbie. I understand your concerns regarding the deletion of my Wikipedia page, and I appreciate your feedback. However, I strongly believe that my page does not solely represent an ambiguous advertisement. The sources I provided demonstrated the notability and relevance of the topic, showcasing multiple perspectives beyond just promotional content.
I acknowledge that based on a previous users feedback, my page may have required revisions to meet Wikipedia's encyclopedic standards. Unfortunately, I found the deletion notice lacking in specific guidance on how to address the issues. I'm eager to improve the page and would greatly appreciate more detailed direction on the necessary changes.
How can I remedy the article? I am looking to do more on other artists and find this extremely frustrating and discouraging. From the looks and sounds of your talk page instructions along with page boasting years of expertise in Wikipedia, your authority level seems to lack a tad of leadership and direction to fellow newcomers. It's a bit unwelcoming. Perhaps you can assist an aspiring wiki contributor on clarifying the specific aspects that need rewriting on an article for a more neutral point of view. Is there a wiki page dedicated in providing examples of acceptable sources that can be added to enhance a page's credibility. The page I created featured a write up from a credible news source / website yet it was not enough.
I'm committed to creating a high-quality Wikipedia page that adheres to the community's guidelines. Please offer more concrete guidance or direction to someone with patience or time to help me achieve this goal. I look forward to your response and the opportunity to revise and resubmit my page.

- AlexanderBarrio, I have conversations with people, not chatbots. If you would like to have such a conversation, please leave me a message in your words with no use of bots/LLMs. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:06, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Lol. Complete disregard and arrogance at its best. This is what gatekeeping looks like for content development for Wikipedia. Instead of guidance, direction, we receive these condescending replies. Your page promotes boasting and pride of being a deletionist. You would think that 19 years of being in this community you would be a “solutionist” or leader. I get it. Taking a read on your Deletionist post, you enjoy this type of attention. You likely thrive off of conflict and debates. You’re so authoritative. No chat bots. Just someone speaking to you in terms that you would think someone of your calibre should understand. Thanks for disregarding my post, my attempts to find resolutions, my attempts to learn, my attempt to remedy the article, although I followed the directions given to me and added sources. You’re a wikipedia champ. Your tonality and lack of respect is repulsive. Go on with your day, Inflate your ego and false sense of authority by policing the mean streets of Wikipedia. AlexanderBarrio (talk) 13:30, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not only am I pretty good at spotting chatbots, but I do double check with GPTZero. So, yes, it was chatbot-written, and I'm happy to confidently say that. If you would like people to be willing to help you, I suggest you consider the way you behaved just above, and think about why people might not be too inclined to do that.
