Condensing refs[edit]

Hi, I reverted your changes at Donna Chambers as they were not properly formatted (see final result) and you ended up removing some references. There are several ways you can prevent this from happening in the future, such as using VisualEditor (easiest!) or previews. Wracking ^💬 05:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that!

Note that the "removed" sources were duplicates - 4, 5, and 9 (in current version) are identical, while 1 and 3 are the same except page number (oops, missed that!). I will keep 1 & 3 separate. Ascelyn (talk) 05:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Query[edit]

Hello, Ascelyn,

Three days after you started editing, you were PRODding articles and you have jumped into AFD discussions even though you have only 30 edits to your account. What account(s) did you previously edit with? This is very unusual behavior for an account that is just a couple weeks old so I thought I'd ask. Even most editors who acquired experienced as IP editors don't know about Proposed deletions, much less tagging the article appropriately. Thanks for any information you can provide.

I was going to ask you to steer clear of contributing to deletion discussions until you were more familiar with Wikipedia's policies about notability and appropriate sourcing but I have the feeling you already acquired that with a previous account(s). Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:31, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Liz,

Apologies for responding to this almost a year later, it was very easy to ignore this as I haven't been editing. I have not edited under previous accounts nor as an IP—I've just spent a lot of time reading non-article pages because I found the workings of the project interesting. Your advice to steer clear of deletion discussions until I have more familiarity with the policies is well-taken. Ascelyn (talk) 18:08, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
