Your draft article, User:Y2K-96/sandbox


Hello, Y2K-96. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 03:11, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You may only participate in talk page discussion related to the topic area to request an edit. Extended back and forth is not permitted for users with less than 500 edits, see WP:ARBECR for more information.  nableezy  - 19:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @Nableezy I believe this was posted in reference to your final point "Extended back and forth is not permitted for users with less than 500 edits, see WP:ARBECR for more information." As I had replied to comments on my edit request. Was your post sourced from Wikipedia itself? When I check WP:ARBECR which you referenced, I only see that it says "Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Should disruption occur on "Talk:" pages, administrators may take enforcement actions described in "B" or "C" below." I don't see any restriction on engaging in extended back and forth regarding the edit request, as long as the extended back and forth is productive as defined here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disruptive_editing Am I missing something?

 * You may use it only to make edit requests, not to engage in discussion about those requests.  nableezy  - 21:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The replies and discussion to the initial post in the edit request seem to me to be a part of the edit request. They involve clarification and expounding on the edit request. Are there any clear guidelines specifying that non-extended-confirmed editors cannot reply to discussions that ensue beneath their initial edit request post? Or any examples of admins enforcing such a rule? I am not saying you're wrong, but it seems ambiguous to me, so I want to know if there are any clearer guidelines.
