Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Party Canada (2nd nomination). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:26, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Party Canada (2nd nomination). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 17:03, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you have posted comments to the page WP:Articles for deletion/Free Party Canada (2nd nomination) in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English for all comments. Posting all comments in English makes it easier for other editors to join the conversation and help you. If you cannot avoid using another language, then please provide a translation into English, if you can. If you cannot provide a translation, please go to the list of Wikipedias, look in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and edit there instead of here. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. CactusRoy🏴󠁣󠁡󠁱󠁣󠁿 (talk) 14:59, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Party Canada (2nd nomination)

Hi, there are several problems with your recent edits of this AfD debate. First of all, this is the English WP and posting comments in French is therefore inappropriate. Second, an AfD should normally be closed by an admin or, exceptionally, by an experienced editor. You are completely new here, so it is absolutely inappropriate for you to close an AfD. (Even though I admire that after only a handful of edits you figure out not only how to participate in an AfD, but also how to close it.) Third, even if you had been an experienced editor, closing this discussion would be wholly inappropriate because you yourself participated in the discussion. (For the applicable guideline, see WP:NACD.) Finally, an AfD is supposed to run for 7 days and only very exceptionally an early close is justified under WP:SNOW. In the present case there are several well argued "delete" !votes, so SNOW does not apply and the AfD should be allowed to run its course. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 08:50, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my affixed comment on the same page. And in my estimation, because you are an Angloid, you have no input on this matter. CactusRoy (talk) 16:41, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where you get it that I'm an "Angloid" (which seems to be something pejorative in your eyes. I'm an editor at this English WP, which gives me any right to have input in this matter. --Randykitty (talk) 17:02, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CactusRoy, welcome to Wikipedia. This is the English Wikipedia, and while we welcome editors of all languages and backgrounds, we expect editors to participate in English on this website. There is not presently a bilingual Wikipedia, and you are of course welcome to contribute here in English, but if you would prefer to contribute in French, your contributions would be much appreciated at the French Wikipedia. Thank you. Ivanvector's squirrel (^trees/_nuts) 13:50, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Confederate History Month. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Notfrompedro (talk) 13:50, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Notfrompedro: So your issue was with the content and not with the source as I thought. Why do you want to give me the run-around ? CactusRoy🏴󠁣󠁡󠁱󠁣󠁿 (talk) 13:54, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
