Editor experience invitation edit

Hi DJ Cane :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:31, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've added my experience. That's for this project, it's fun to read through other replies and I think it's a great way to prepare experienced editors to have more patience with new folks. DJ Cane (he/him) (Talk) 21:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for participating. You might find it interesting that I also started contributing as a teenager (just a bit past my 16th birthday). I don't reflect on my earliest edits quite the same way as you do, but it's interesting to learn about your experience. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 08:55, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Admin help edit

My talk page was recently vandalized by User:Rocketman771 (diff) after they had a contrary opinion to mine in a discussion at Talk:Tornadoes of 2024#New Model for main tornado article: 2024 suggested changes and improvements. In that discussion, the same user was bordering on personal attacks based on perceived national identity. I'm not sure what sort of action is appropriate in this situation, but this seemed like a more appropriate method than WP:ANI since this appears to be their first issue like this. Thanks!

Shortly after posting this notice, I experienced similar vandalism (diff) from User:Yellowboy7. Seems like possible sock puppetry but an admin will be more equipped to handle the situation. DJ Cane (he/him) (Talk) 16:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you wish to report Rocketman, take this to WP:ANI. If you wish to allege socking, take this to WP:SPI.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oof edit

Maybe I should remove my question? Sorry for going off topic. MidnightStudios16 (talk) 23:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think you need to remove it, it's a fine question and we have shown that we are moving over to a more appropriate location. As a general rule, don't delete messages from talk pages. You could strike it out or apologize if you really think you need to, but I don't think either are necessary in this instance. DJ Cane (he/him) (Talk) 00:09, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
