User talk:Caroliano

A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Caroliano. I see that you've already been around awhile and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! - 2/0 (cont.) 19:58, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence User talk:Trustable. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. &#8213; Padenton &#124;&#9993;  20:42, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't agree with that warning. Let me refute each of the 4 points in the Canvassing page:
 * I haven't done mass messaging. I contacted a single user.
 * I do think my message was quite neutral. I didn't even asked him to join the discussions or cast a vote, though you one may argue that it was implicit just by mentioning their existence. But that is not what this point talks about.
 * If I wanted to do Votestacking, I would try to notify at least a couple of users so that it would "result in a numerical advantage". I don't think the Votestacking section is written in plural form by accident. Even so, why did I chose to reach that one user? If I wanted to sway favourable votes for the notability of those languages I could do much better than to reach the one user who specifically listed them because he thought they were not really notable. So why did I reached to his talk page? To notify him of the consequences of his post, otherwise he might never have known. I was a bit upset on he post ignoring all the discussion and wikipedia rules, so that was kinda on impulse. It is true that I also wanted for help to not let some articles being unfairly deleted because no-one had time to look for sources for them, but that wasn't the main reason, and in fact I did not even talk about it before you entered the discussion.
 * I did post to his talk page, not off-wiki.
 * Also, the fact that my supposed canvassing had absolutely no effect (unfortunately I can't see anyone else besides me finding sources for the languages in deletion review where I posted, but now I saw that some others received more attention) should raise some eyebrows on if it actually happened (and it didn't).
 * Sorry again for the misunderstanding earlier, I didn't meant to stalk you. I only disagree with you on the threshold of notability that should be used to keep things on wikipedia or not. Caroliano (talk) 23:06, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
