Please stop

I have warned you in November last year to stop treating Wikipedia as a webhost or a social media site and to refrain from editing userspace excessively. Furthermore, multiple other editors have already pointed out to you on your talk page to avoid "peanut gallery" comments at ANI. You have stated in the past that you will refrain from doing so again, but you have made this comment - the kind that you have promised not to make again. Plus, I have been noticing that you spend a good majority of time here editing your userspace pages and making userboxes. Wikipedia isn't here for you to play around with userboxes, it is an encyclopedia and not a webhost. If any of this behavior continues, you risk getting blocked for a lack of competence or not being here to build an encyclopedia. I don't want you to be blocked because I want to retain new editors, not turn them away, but please try to edit mainspace pages instead of focusing on user and project space for now.

Strongly seconded regarding peanut gallery comments at ANI, I was just coming here to say the same thing. Further, what was the point of this reply at the Teahouse? It is just about word-for-word identical to the reply immediately above it; further, referencing linking to Youtube is rarely acceptable per WP:YOUTUBE. Daniel (talk) 21:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Another error, as pointed out here. Please stop clerking and involving yourself in ANI discussions that you are not a party to, until you are more experienced and knowledgeable. Daniel (talk) 21:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Why restore this ANI report?

As City of Silver points out in that discussion, ANI was an inappropriate forum to take this to. If a user wishes to self-revert in such cases, they are free to do so. If you didn't realize that ANI was an overreaction, I'd strongly recommend taking a break from ANI or better familiarizing yourself with norms there. Off the top of my head, I think Tamzin, Seawolf, and Prodraxis have suggested as much. Sincerely, Novo Tape^{My Talk Page} 17:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

This comment is inappropriate. The edit in question, by Nikki2428, removed ANOTHER editor’s comment, which is absolutely not permissible. Shark was absolutely correct to restore that edit. 173.22.12.194 (talk) 14:18, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I've always interpreted WP:TALKOFFTOPIC to extend to deleting replies when deleting an off-topic post, but I suppose that's not explicitly stated. Since someone else (you) seems to disagree, I'll strike the above. I apologize to BabySharkBoss for my question.

Nah, it's true. your right. it's been my mistake of stalking Notice boards and the TH looking for things. there's a reason Cesspit redirects to ANI. Advice received, i'm try much harder to stick to editing, or just take some more wiki-breaks. Babysharkboss2 was here!! ^{King Crimson} 16:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

You were correct in that BSB should NOT be clerking ANI in any form. They have nowhere near the experience level necessary to understand the nuances and intricacies involved. I very much appreciate your willingness to provide them guidance in this manner. 173.22.12.194 (talk) 16:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Even if I was correct in part, I overstepped and that was unacceptable of me. They were correct in this instance (or at least not wrong), and I don't think they've made any mistakes on the drama boards recently.

Babysharkboss2, you weren't wrong in this instance. While I won't encourage you to comment there, don't let my mistaken talk page message prevent you from doing so. Sincerely, Dilettante 17:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
