Although not a policy violation, archiving posts so quickly is not good practice, particularly when they are warnings. It looks like you're trying to hide your errors. If you hadn't archived the post from Ingenuity, I would have noticed it and not warned you a second time for the same behavior.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oh ok. Sorry about it, Notrealname1234 (talk) 17:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- But can you add Ingenuity's post here? @Bbb23 Notrealname1234 (talk) 17:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- also, i added it only one time, not two times. Notrealname1234 (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- I never said you added it (I assume you mean the ruling) twice, I was referring to my warning being a second one after Ingenuity's. You archived Ingenuity's post; you can undo it if you wish. At this point, the best thing you can do is not archive things quickly in the future. You have auto-archiving set up. I didn't look at how often it auto-archives, but assuming it's a reasonable amount of time, just let the bot do its job.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:46, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, i will. Notrealname1234 (talk) 17:49, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Notrealname1234, when patrolling biographical edits, please keep in mind that restoring material others have objected to in good faith may be prohibited without obtaining a consensus first, and that repeating gossip or self-published sources' statements is problematic. In the moment you restore material on Wikipedia, you are legally responsible for it.
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
Best regards,

2024 Ohio Republican presidential primary edit
By itself, google drive probably isn't a reliable source, but the google drive page I used as a source was a pdf of a poll conducted by Ohio Northern University. C. W. Edward (talk) 00:38, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Is there an official site (not on google drive) that has this pdf? Notrealname1234 (talk) 00:40, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- After I did a search for "ohio northern university poll", the sources that talked about this poll, including the University's website all used this link. C. W. Edward (talk) 03:33, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, i will readd this link then. Notrealname1234 (talk) 13:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Nevermind, you already reverted my edit. Notrealname1234 (talk) 13:57, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, i will readd this link then. Notrealname1234 (talk) 13:55, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your email, which you sent a few days ago, but which I have only just discovered. That's because you sent it directly to the address I use only for Wikipedia emails, rather than via Wikipedia's email service, so I didn't get a notification, and I usually don't check that email address unless I do get a notification. At one time I used to put a note at the bottom of each Wikipedia email warning about that; I suppose I should go back to doing so. Anyway, I have now dealt with the matter you mentioned. As always, thanks for letting me know. JBW (talk) 12:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- No problem! Notrealname1234 (talk) 14:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Notrealname1234. Thank you for your contributions, but please take a moment to familiarize yourself with WP:DRAFTIFY. The policy says that articles should only be moved to draft if there is no evidence of active improvement; the rule of thumb is that you should wait at least an hour after the last edit. You moved National team appearances in the FIBA U18 Men Basketball European Championship just ten minutes after it was created. 𝙳𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖𝚁𝚒𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚌𝚞𝚜𝚜 18:03, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you are re-adding a warning on User talk:Xevres. Just a heads up that users can remove warnings on their own talk pages, see WP:BLANKING. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 11:52, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
