October 2021: Wikipedia isn't social media

edit

Draft:ChatRoom, which you have created, is counter to the purposes of Wikipedia. Wikipedia already has an article called Chat room. If you want to socialize, you should visit social media sites. See: What Wikipedia is not.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:02, 23 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:ChatRoom

edit

  Hello, ExeGhostfile. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:ChatRoom, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North Carolina State Fair, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Exposition. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:10, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, ExeGhostfile,
Here at Wikipedia, we have talk pages to talk about article improvements but chatting isn't a feature here like on social media. If you have questions about this, please bring them to the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 19:23, 25 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
