Requesting statement of Wiki experience

Hi MorningYoga. Please don't take offense, but I notice you are a brand new user to Wikipedia yet have made some very sophisticated initial contributions. Only 3, but all on pages relating to me. As you know, your very first contribution was to write Delete per nom on a Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 February 10 page, which most new users would not know about. Nor would they know enough to write what you did. Those kinds of comments usually come from experienced administrators, not inexperienced newbies.

Your 2nd contribution was to delete 350 words from an article that I have been working on. And your 3rd contribution was to add a comment to the article's talk page after your deletion where you wrote "I help a bit by removing stuff about google books." Basically, all of your edits so far hint at a high level of experience.

So the question is: what is your level of prior experience with Wikipedia? Thanks in advance for your reply. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 06:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Huh? Taking out junk hints at a high level of experience? MorningYoga (talk) 14:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Will you respond to the question? --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 18:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't really understand your question, and why you have chosen to emphasize particular words. Its sort of the internet equivalent of shouting at me. I don't know what your intentions are with this question, but it really seems that you are being rather rude to me. Are you upset that I deleted the 350 junk words you worked on? I'm not really familiar with the workings of wikipedia editing but this is a little off putting. I got a little message on my IP edits talk page thingy taht encouraged me to join because it had many benefits, so I did. I didn't realize one of those benefits was getting badgered with some bizarre questions by someone whose junk I edited out of an article. MorningYoga (talk) 18:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

From your comment per nom, "I got a little message on my IP edits talk page thingy taht encouraged me to join because it had many benefits..." makes it clear that you have never edited on Wiki before now. If that's wrong, I assume you'll comment. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 19:04, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I have never had a named account. I have edited with an IP before, but again, Why does this matter? Why are you pestering me with questions? If you like the useless stuff I chopped out of the Brin article then put it back in, again what is your problem? MorningYoga (talk) 21:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Nothing has been said about the value of your edits, pro or con, intent, validity, etc. My only comments were about the sophistication of your few edits for a new user. On the other hand, now you are saying that you're not a new user after all. Most newbies would not being saying things like "the useless stuff I chopped out of the Brin article..." Most newbies would at least try to answer a simple question instead of becoming fully defensive about a neutral question. A one or two word answer would do. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 21:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I really don't understand you and what your deal is. I did not infer neutral from that question you posed at all. You ended the question in a diatribe about how stuff got edited out of an article you wrote, and used bold words to make a point. I read the question as you being offended that I edited out your stuff. I read it as you felt the edited out materially personally belonged to you, like I stole from you or something. When someone is accusing me of stealing of course I'm going to get defensive. So now that I gave you an answer are you going to leave me alone or am I going to get a question from you every time I edit an article?MorningYoga (talk) 22:12, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
