Hello! I saw your revert on an edit by 102.0.4.210. I reverted 2 more edits by the user on the same page. You seem to have put a thing on the user's talk page. Can you instruct me on policies I have to follow while reverting Wikipedia edits? I'm very new here and don't know what to do. Thanks! Feeglgeef (talk) 19:25, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! When reverting edits on wikipedia there's a helpful guide for new users Here you can follow. Another useful page is found here if patrolling recent edits is something you are interested in! I use Twinkle, a bot assisted tool, when editing to help provide messages for posting on user pages and such. Hopefully this helps a bit! CoconutOctopus talk 19:30, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

I meant to start the draft on Teresa Kowalska in sandbox but I think I drafted it in the main space instead. I saw your comment that you placed a speedy deletion tag and the contest link went to blank article page. I have completed the article now, but I don't see the tag. Could you let me know what I need to do to contest the deletion? Thank you! Gab Brasseur (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:18, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@Gab Brasseur the first copy of the article was speedy deleted; your newly posted one is not tagged so won't be, no need to contest. CoconutOctopus talk 22:46, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! ~~~ Gab Brasseur (talk) 15:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	CoconutOctopus diligently nominated my article for speedy deletion, in seconds, after noticing my blanking edit, as I accidentally published an article, not a draft. Kudos for your diligence. OnlyNano 17:13, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Sanjay Sinha

Dear CoconutOctopus

My contribution to the page Sanjay Sinha is a living person,who is directly matches to the other page Kapildev Prasad Singh.so by the local information I want to include it to the live page of encyclopaedia.please help me for do more work and research to this article.i request you to grantfully Bihar samagra (talk) 12:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

All articles on Wikipedia need to provide reliable evidence of notability, especially articles about people; see the following pages WP:GNG and WP:BIO. An article that makes no claim of notability is eligible for speedy deletion as occured this time; it is on the creator of the article to ensure anything they publish has a solid claim of notability before publishing it. May I suggest you start articles as drafts and put them through WP:AFC in future? This will ensure you get feedback and help before publishing. CoconutOctopus talk 12:07, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, as reviewing administrator I would just like to note that the article didn't qualify for speedy deletion since it contained a credible claim of significance (the subject being a former member of a state legislative council). Otherwise I generally agree with your advice. Regards, decltype (talk) 12:31, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Umm why?

Sorry but why did you turn my Article into a draft? IbrahimMAKER (talk) 12:15, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I turned the article into a draft as it was not at all ready for the mainspace. The article consisted of a single un-encyclopaedic sentence and no sources. I do note however that there is an article on the stadium on the French wikipedia - I would suggest translating this if you want to improve the draft to a publishable state, and then running it through WP:AFC rather than publishing directly.
