Canvassing
You may not canvass sympathetic votes in a deletion discussion. This can lead to your being blocked from editing. Guy (Help!) 22:49, 27 June 2015 (UTC)


 * While canvassing antipathetic votes is allowed - as it has obviously been the case given the whole story, is allowed? I could show there is strong suspicion for that. I applaud : powerful stuff!! But that's OK, I understand your warning and thank you for it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sylvain.nahas (talk • contribs) 05:51, 28 June 2015‎ (UTC)
 * You have virtually no history on Wikipedia, I am an administrator of around ten years experience with tens of thousands of edits across a wide range of topics. You can ignore my advice, but bear in mind that doing so will likely get you blocked. Guy (Help!) 23:05, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Guy, I thought I made it clear I won't ignore your advice and even thank you for taking the pain to give it to me, which I really appreciate! Syl 23:17, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Besides I shall add I did not "canvass sympathetic votes" : if you read my message I was careful to stay neutral, just warning him a page he participated into was going to be possibly deleted - I think it should be standard procedure in such a case - but thus letting him the possibility to vote for its deletion! (I have no idea of his personal opinion on the topic) - Syl 23:22, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Canvassing involves selecting individuals to solicit input. Posting at noticeboards covers people of all perspectives. Guy (Help!) 23:32, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this explanation. Syl 15:38, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Signatures
Re this edit (and others).

WP:SIGLINK points out that all user signatures must still include a link to the user or user talk page. I note that you're editing your .sig to shorten it, and it's also removing this link. WP:SIG is worth a read in general, because if you want a custom .sig then you can set this up to be automatic and not have to edit it after every post. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you Andy! While using WP almost since its creation, I never participated much in its functioning until now. I have loads of stuff to learn, I suspect. Syl (talk) 17:51, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
