Bogus edit warring notification
Stop it. -- Valjean (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I understand your frustration, however you were edit warring with another user. I am not trying to support the subject of the article you're edit warring on, just want to make this clear. HelixxUnderscore (talk) 17:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * You may wish to read WP:DTTR. Two reverts is not edit warring, under most circumstances.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:18, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry HelixxUnderscore (talk) 18:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * It "takes two to tangle", and the IP is now blocked for edit warring. You need to look at the situation before handing out a warning. Large edits like that are never accepted without discussion and a consensus. The talk page comments and edit summaries used by the IP showed a very invested editor making tendentious edits and comments. -- Valjean (talk) 18:57, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Tagging pages for speedy deletion
Hello, HelixxUnderscore,

Please stop tagging pages for speedy deletion, you are not experienced enough to know how to do it properly. For example, stale drafts are tagged or deleted as CSD G13 six months after they received their last human edit to the exact date and time and you are tagging them too early. Please look at the page history to see when they were last edited and remember, we go by UTC time on Wikipedia, not your local time. For example, if you live in the United States, you need to take into account whether the time was Daylight Savings Time six month ago or not and whether or not that applies to the current day. The reason that we are so particular is that there are many editors and admins keeping watch over expiring drafts and keeping to a few simple rules that we all follow keeps things from getting chaotic.

But honestly, much more editing experience and knowing, really knowing well, the different Criteria for Speedy Deletion and when they apply and to which namespace they apply is required before you start tagging pages for deletion. But if you are interested in doing this type of work in the future, consider applying to New pages patrol where you can learn from more experienced editors and become involved with evaluating the suitability of recently created pages. Thank you for all of your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 00:04, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Tagging the lead
Hi, HelixxUnderscore,

I removed your edit to Trans man, because it was not an improvement. The lead of an article is just a summary of the most important points of the body, and when those points are already cited and explained in detail in the body, there is no need to duplicate citations, or every detail, in the lead as well; that's why your by whom tag was unnecessary, because the body already explained it. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 09:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
