Please refrain from hijacking pages as you did with GAFFER. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I am not hijacking this article. I undeleted by admin in order to create this page. Serankail (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Make a new page about it then ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 15:53, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Btw, do you have a conflict of interest with GAFFER? ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 15:54, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• I've moved the magazine text to a new article at Gaffer (magazine). Please help improve the article there, and thanks for the contribution! User:Prahlad balaji should remember to WP:AGF and not welcome new users with unnecessarily threatening templates, when there clearly wasn't any malice here. Nfitz (talk) 18:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
• Thank you very much, Nfitz and I will definitely work on that. I thank you again for the warm welcome. Regards,Serankail (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Nfitz Sorry. If somebody wants to start a new article but edits an existing page, I will move the new page to a separate title. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 20:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Prahlad balaji It wasn't an existing page. And I've already created Gaffer (magazine) as I previously noted in the AFD. The only step that Serankail didn't do was redelete the undeletion ... which could have been accomplished retroactively by any admin. Yes, the name of the page for the magazine was arguable ... but stop WP:BITEing. Nfitz (talk) 20:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

nfitz nono you’re misunderstanding. I said that if you want to create a new page, then you should actually create a new page. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 20:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Serankail and Nfitz, I just want to clarify that if you want to create a page regarding a topic not already on WP, you should create a new article instead of modifying an existing one, which is called hijacking. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 20:51, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Stop now User:Prahlad balaji. There WAS no existing page until Sernkail came along ... Serankail had literally just requested the decade-old text be refunded. You can't be penalized for deleting something you had added. As an experienced editor you should know better than continuing this biting behaviour, and own up to your very minor error, that only becomes an issue because you won't let it go, and would sooner chase away a new editor instead.. Nfitz (talk) 21:00, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

nfitz Ok, I’m sorry. It was a minor error on my part. Serankail isn’t chased away btw. I have also clarified the misunderstanding. What do you think I should do now? ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 21:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
