Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, Tooncool64,

Please stop tagging pages for speedy deletion as you don't seem to understand the Criteria for speedy deletion. Do not tag any more pages until you understand the criteria, thoroughly. If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the correction. I will be more careful in the future. All the best, Tooncool64 (talk) 08:36, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Tooncool64,

You seem to be on a deletion rampage. You don't have a lot of experience editing the project, why are you suddenly tagging articles as PRODs or starting AFDs? You have to really understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines to be knowledgable about deciding when an article should be considered for deletion. Have you editing Wikipedia with other accounts? It just seems very odd to return to the project after more than 4 years of inactivity and then tag a lot of articles for deletion. Can you see why this looks unusual? Liz ^{Read!

Hello,

My new hyper-fixation is on clearing pages of from the WikiProject for unreferenced articles. I can understand if you feel like I have been overly zealous, and I can concede that a minority of the articles I have tagged for deletion have been unfounded, but many of these articles have been unsourced for 16 years. If I am able to find sources, I add them to the articles, as you can see from my contribs. Are you suspecting me to be some bad faith actor? If you feel like I have been malicious in any of edits, feel free to point out.

All the best, Tooncool64 (talk) 06:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

PROD and Twinkle

Hi, seeing as you're currently tagging large amounts of pages for PROD or AfD, I recommend using Twinkle to greatly improve the process. It automatically logs AfD nominations, and automatically leaves notes on talk pages for prod. Additionally, please put some effort into searching for sources before tagging. For example, a few of your PRODed articles meet WP:NGEO as a legally recognized settlement. Thanks, and happy holidays. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know. I concede that I have been somewhat zealous in my PROD's. Happy Holidays to you as well. All the best, Tooncool64 (talk) 06:32, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries when making edits. This is especially important when nominating pages for deletion or making other edits that are significant. Thryduulf (talk) 11:18, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Christmas tree trimming

One of your edits to Christmas tree was removed as described in this talk page topic at Christmas tree trimming. Your effort to improve the text was noble, but not rewarding. Shenme (talk) 07:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Unreliable sources

Thank you for contributing to the article Pitching wedge. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 15:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Stop trying to destroy other people’s work

What are you thinking just randomly proposing to delete articles just because they’ve been around for long. Are you envious or something? Please do something productive rather than destructive on Wikipedia and reconsider your trigger-happy deletionism which only serves to alienate contributors who actually create useful stuff. — Timwi (talk) 15:29, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
