Hey,
It seems as if no one objected to my image change proposal concerning the "Ciara" article are you still up to helping me change it? -- Akiradevon1 ( talk) 03:27, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Victorian Bushrangers.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 18:06, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

It's more a de facto rule. Ideally, a nominator who puts forward an article for assessment should have contributed, in some form or another. While I did state that was the principal reason for failing the article, it does not conform to the GA criteria: the lead does not summarize the article sufficiently, there are several dead links and prose is dubious in parts. If you want to take this to GAC in the future, do consult with the major contributors of the article (perhaps on its talkpage) as this is one of Wikipedia's most read articles. -- Lemonade51 ( talk) 16:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi TheOriginalSoni. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request. You are much more likely to find an adopter if you are pro-active about it, perhaps asking an editor or two from the list of adopters if they would consider adopting you? Good luck in finding someone to help out. WormTT( talk) 10:39, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I have often seen bad wikipedia articles that contain tons of information that is completely incomprehensible. And usually, when it is to be bettered, it involves the cropping of a lot of data involved to usefully display only a part of it in a concise and better manner.
Is wikipedia just a storehouse of information or is the main aim to be understandable? (By the latter, I DO NOT imply breaking things into layman terms, but using the correct approaches to display the given information, and removing any information that may be potentially useless from the article's readablity point of view, but still might have been considered useful were one to make an exhaustive storehouse of information) If its the latter, then shouldnt the approach of editors be being more expressive without losing the technicality?
For example, I recently edited Sweet Child o' Mine wherein I added the Legacy section, instead of the messed up Cover Versions. It necessarily involved cropping of some, if not a lot, of involved. Would this be considered a good edit?

The article Kinetic Finance Limited Scam has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kinetic Finance Limited Scam is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kinetic Finance Limited Scam until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. No unique names 15:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello, just letting you know I removed your prod on the above article as you didn't give a reason for deletion as required.
Thank you. Rotten regard Softnow 00:47, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
I noticed that you began the process to nominate
Isaac Newton as a Featured article candidate. I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but nominators are expected to actively respond to suggested improvements during the FAC; this is difficult, if not impossible, for nominators who have not significantly participated in the article and are not familiar with the sources.
I have withdrawn the nomination at this time. If you feel that the article meets the
featured article criteria, please consult the principal contributors to the article (as required per the
featured article candidate instructions) to request their participation in a future nomination. Best of luck to you.

Re your message: I believe that my handling of the editor's edits was correct. He has for months been trying to add links to his business' website to Valley of Flowers National Park. If you review the edit history of the article, you will see that he has been using multiple IPs and accounts since my interaction with him to try to get the links added and he has been reverted several times by different editors: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] and the account Trekforall ( talk · contribs). -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 18:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I'm kinda new to wiki and have no idea how to answer to you properly, so let it be here for now :) What I meant about translating an article - it would be nice to have some wiki-tool to quickly add a translation to existing article. I thought I could find some "Add translation" button. Bekdm ( talk) 13:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
I'm starting to understand, that en.wikipedia.org and ru.wikipedia.org are different sites, but despite the fact they share links on translations (some of them exist on both languages and even more), those translations are actually different articles, not one article in different languages. And that's the problem. Bekdm ( talk) 14:01, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello TheOriginalSoni,
Thanks for you efforts to improve Wikipedia. It seems however that you don't think that you need to explain your edits (your comments from previous posts), but if you are going to delete substantial sections of pages (like
here at
Ganish including several sources, and
here, and also
here) then it is a very good idea to do so. A simple RVV (revert vandalism), unsourced, or similar is all that is required. See
Wikipedia:Edit summary legend for more acronyms, and also
Edit summary. I hope these pages are of some help. Regards,

Hello, TheOriginalSoni. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, I'm afraid your recent edits to many pages changing links to Militant to point to Militant (disambiguation) were incorrect. Articles should only rarely link to disambiguation pages, and only when the ambiguity of the term is relevant to the context in which the link appears. Just because the meaning is not particularly clear does not mean that the disambiguation page is the most appropriate target. In this particular case, there actually is a separate article, militant (word), that discusses the various uses of the word, and which may be a more appropriate target for unclear links. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 14:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for summarising - I knew mine wasn't great. However, your delete !vote seems to me to be somewhat buried in text. Would it not be better to finagle it so that it appears on the left-hand side as per all the other votes? I know that the closer is supposed to review the entire thing (poor soul) but it took me a while to spot it and I was looking for the thing. - Sitush ( talk) 12:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Obviously, you do not have to use sources that are only available online. You might have a book or a decent newspaper or something that you can read while sat in a chair having a cup of tea ... if it meets our reliable sources guideline then it will be ok to cite it in an article. I much prefer to have the entire thing in front of me than to see only bits of it online but life doesn't always work out like that.
Can I make a suggestion? Rather than wander on to explain how to add and verify citations, how about we try a little exercise in finding the sources first? You mention bin Laden above - do you have any other articles/subjects that you are interested in? I'll try to set you a few queries and you can let me know what you find when you dig around for the answers. It won't be anything complicated. Oh, and by the way, I am in the UK: if you are somewhere else then it is possible that we will not see the same results if we use Google or a similar search engine, but we'll worry about that if and when it happens. - Sitush ( talk) 13:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, start with the easy stuff. You were right to opt for The Hindu, which is by far the most reliable news source in India. Second-best would be the ToI but its standards are dropping nowadays and it is becoming more and more of a gossip rag. Since The Hindu covered it, anything else is redundant - al those other websites you refer to, etc. Also note that if a story is supplied by a press agency such as PTI or IANS then you will often find it repeated across numerous newspapers, but we should still prefer to use the most reliable of those papers.
While adding a summary of arguments is certainly fine in the course of a long AFD, these should be kept at the chronological point of discussion so that new editors can understand the when and why that the summary was added. Putting that summary at the top of the AFD both hurts that and appears as trying to sway the AFD in one direction or another before editors have had a chance to read the arguments leading to that point. -- MASEM ( t) 17:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

User:Malikussaid made one vandal edit five years ago (when he was 15 11) [corrected per user
TheOriginalSoni (
talk)
22:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC) and now realises it to be a mistake. [Details of the story can be found at his user page, talk page, administrators noticeboard Later removed by me, a self started RfC on himself The page needs to be deleted btw, the talk pages of the page itself Now in archives and the talk page of AT LEAST one admin!!!!]
He is terribly new to this, and seems extremely extremely sorry for breaking WP:NPA (TOWARDS AN ARTICLE). The grave offence committed by him was to use one four letter word beginning with F and ending with k (With the letters c and u somewhere in between, in some order); and to add an "extremely islamic resource" website.
He is terribly sorry about it that he cant get over doing something wrong at Wikipedia and has posted an apology on his user page. He says - "In my personal opinion, however, I condemn, decry, and reprobate any actions against human rights, especially those instated on base of ethnic, religion, and race." He is open to any and all legal actions against him, and provided both his email address and his actual address so that any/all offended parties can contact him so that his legal counsel can reply back within 10 days.
Can any admin/oversight please simply remove the address and email address from the user page history? I'm pretty sure it must not be allowed to stay on in the encyclopedia at any time (inorder to stop him from actual harm from trolls and vandals). And please also remove the offending words and the apology from the archives of the " Guantanamo Bay".

Hi there, just out of interest is there any reason you deleted the picture of the goalkeeper making a save from the association football page? Cls14 ( talk) 15:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
No, you can't use that flag; "You may choose the flag of any extant political entity (countries, counties, states, towns, principalities and so on) providing it is freely licensed." So, a country, or a town, or a state or something would be fine. Fictional flags are not OK. As for the featured pictures, merely nominating a picture does not constitute significant work; you have to have produced the picture in some way, or gone to significant effort to have it ready for Wikipedia. Merely nominating it, or even merely uploading it after you have found it elsewhere, does not count. And yes, it has to be on the English Wikipedia, not Commons.

I have removed the nomination of Sitush for Editor of the Week as malformed. If a discussion is required before nomination, it is best to have such a discussion first then make the nim. However, I also note that Sitush is not an unsung heroe. They are very well known and actively controversial making them far more known than what is within the Editor of the Week criteria. While i respect the editor and hope them a speedy recovery, I doubt they would agree that they are "unsung" in comaprison to other nominations. I cannot speak for the editor, but believe they are aware of their own notoriety.-- Amadscientist ( talk) 02:54, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

TheOriginalSoni:
Many salutations!!! I am pleased that you took such an interest in my latest contribution to Wikipedia; when I started work on it, I was having some RL housing troubles because of my ex-landlord back in August 2011. The fact that it has taken me until January 2013 illustrates how adversely this has affected me.
The feature presentation is your appraisal of the recently-completed »Ashita no Nadja« episode synopsis page that I do not think has been thoroughly considered. If I recall correctly, here are the flaws that have been cited:
Let us look at these one at a time. I am at a loss for why you think that there are any spelling and grammar errors when I laid down for a good night's sleep prior to moving the page out of the user space so that fatigue is not a reason for me to overlook anything.
I do have to object to your declaration of the article possibly being too long to comfortably read and navigate. »Ashita no Nadja« has FIFTY episodes in total ... that fact alone should make it clear that this is not going to be a short article. The plot of »Ashita no Nadja« involves multiple incidences of crossing between countries; if you look at the article really carefully, I have divided the fifty episodes based on their geographical setting. I will also take this opportunity to interject that I would have had a more difficult time composing that article if I had not done that.
On a related note, I take particular umbrage at your declaration of my plot summary being too long or excessively detailed; I exerted an immense effort to restrain myself from being pedantic. I should also point out to you that there is NOTHING stopping YOU from composing an »Ashita no Nadja« episode synopsis page from scratch if my handiwork is not to your liking. I did not see anybody else taking that first step and I am quite frankly appalled at the hypocrisy of the attempt thereof on my part being so caustically criticized. If I had perfectly composed all the articles I wrote, there would not be a need for anyone else to polish and refine it ... do you not think that insults the alpha premise of Wikipedia as a COLLABORATIVE endeavor?

I am intrigued by this edit, in which you refer to "a recent edit", but give no indication of which edit, and I wonder if you could say which edit you have in mind. You refer to "a misuse of a warning or blocking template". This IP address has never posted a blocking template, so you must be referring to a warning template. None of the four warning templates posted from this IP address looks to me as though it is obviously the one you refer to. I look forward to reading your reply, and I also suggest that, for the future, it would help if you were to always give a link to a relevant diff when you post such a message. 79.123.81.63 ( talk) 12:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I know that you had the best intentions about protecting new editors at the Teahouse when you suggested they should be warned before being blocked for promotional usernames. Even though that proposal is going to take some work to get accepted, I think the attitude of educating new editors before we shut them out is a really healthy approach and one that will pay dividends broadly and especially in the atmosphere of the Teahouse that people like you are trying to create.

Thanks for uploading File:Victorian Bushrangers.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

It's more a de facto rule. Ideally, a nominator who puts forward an article for assessment should have contributed, in some form or another. While I did state that was the principal reason for failing the article, it does not conform to the GA criteria: the lead does not summarize the article sufficiently, there are several dead links and prose is dubious in parts. If you want to take this to GAC in the future, do consult with the major contributors of the article (perhaps on its talkpage) as this is one of Wikipedia's most read articles. -- Lemonade51 ( talk) 16:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi TheOriginalSoni. I notice you've put a "request for adoption" template on your userpage. Given the number of users starting on the encyclopedia each day and the number who look for adoption, there can often be a backlog when just displaying the request.

I have often seen bad wikipedia articles that contain tons of information that is completely incomprehensible. And usually, when it is to be bettered, it involves the cropping of a lot of data involved to usefully display only a part of it in a concise and better manner.
Is wikipedia just a storehouse of information or is the main aim to be understandable? (By the latter, I DO NOT imply breaking things into layman terms, but using the correct approaches to display the given information, and removing any information that may be potentially useless from the article's readablity point of view, but still might have been considered useful were one to make an exhaustive storehouse of information) If its the latter, then shouldnt the approach of editors be being more expressive without losing the technicality?
For example, I recently edited Sweet Child o' Mine wherein I added the Legacy section, instead of the messed up Cover Versions. It necessarily involved cropping of some, if not a lot, of involved. Would this be considered a good edit?

I noticed that you began the process to nominate
Isaac Newton as a Featured article candidate. I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but nominators are expected to actively respond to suggested improvements during the FAC; this is difficult, if not impossible, for nominators who have not significantly participated in the article and are not familiar with the sources.
I have withdrawn the nomination at this time. If you feel that the article meets the

Hello TheOriginalSoni,

here at
Ganish including several sources, and
here, and also

Hello, TheOriginalSoni. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, I'm afraid your recent edits to many pages changing links to Militant to point to Militant (disambiguation) were incorrect. Articles should only rarely link to disambiguation pages, and only when the ambiguity of the term is relevant to the context in which the link appears. Just because the meaning is not particularly clear does not mean that the disambiguation page is the most appropriate target. In this particular case, there actually is a separate article, militant (word), that discusses the various uses of the word, and which may be a more appropriate target for unclear links. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 14:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Obviously, you do not have to use sources that are only available online. You might have a book or a decent newspaper or something that you can read while sat in a chair having a cup of tea ... if it meets our reliable sources guideline then it will be ok to cite it in an article. I much prefer to have the entire thing in front of me than to see only bits of it online but life doesn't always work out like that.
Can I make a suggestion? Rather than wander on to explain how to add and verify citations, how about we try a little exercise in finding the sources first? You mention bin Laden above - do you have any other articles/subjects that you are interested in? I'll try to set you a few queries and you can let me know what you find when you dig around for the answers. It won't be anything complicated. Oh, and by the way, I am in the UK: if you are somewhere else then it is possible that we will not see the same results if we use Google or a similar search engine, but we'll worry about that if and when it happens. - Sitush ( talk) 13:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, start with the easy stuff. You were right to opt for The Hindu, which is by far the most reliable news source in India. Second-best would be the ToI but its standards are dropping nowadays and it is becoming more and more of a gossip rag. Since The Hindu covered it, anything else is redundant - al those other websites you refer to, etc. Also note that if a story is supplied by a press agency such as PTI or IANS then you will often find it repeated across numerous newspapers, but we should still prefer to use the most reliable of those papers.
While adding a summary of arguments is certainly fine in the course of a long AFD, these should be kept at the chronological point of discussion so that new editors can understand the when and why that the summary was added. Putting that summary at the top of the AFD both hurts that and appears as trying to sway the AFD in one direction or another before editors have had a chance to read the arguments leading to that point. -- MASEM ( t) 17:12, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Just pointing out that PERM is admin territory and it's not a voting page à la RfA. Admin decisions are final unless discussed among admins. In borderline cases, users are watched carefully anyway as are all CVUA graduates during their first few weeks of use of new tools. That said, FWIW, the user had already been accorded the use of Stiki which usually requires rollaback, but the Stiki software operator already accorded the access to the programme. If you have any questions regarding this please address them at Wikipedia_talk:STiki. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 11:16, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that you approved this. It is full of copyright violation and close paraphrasing, it repeats some of the earlier content, it is overly-detailed and it is breathless reporting that includes peacock terms etc. Two or three paraphrased sentences would suffice, surely?

You get to go around reverting someone's edits and attacking them as a troll sock after and not before that has been established as a fact. Untill then, it's a personal attack you are using to justify your own improper behavior. If you have a problem with my edit at Ferret legging you can go to the talk page and say so in the discussion of that specific point. Otherwise your editing will be seen as disruptive and your editing privileges may end up being restricted accordingly. Frogportion ( talk) 10:04, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, TheOriginalSoni. I've rev/del'd the contact info per your request. In the future you may go to Wikipedia:Requests for oversight and request suppression of the edits. This is a more discrete path and lessens the chances that sensitive content is publicly visible. You may still request the deleted edit be suppressed via oversight.

User:Malikussaid made one vandal edit five years ago (when he was 15 11) [corrected per user
TheOriginalSoni (
talk)
22:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC) and now realises it to be a mistake. [Details of the story can be found at his user page, talk page, administrators noticeboard Later removed by me, a self started RfC on himself The page needs to be deleted btw, the talk pages of the page itself Now in archives and the talk page of AT LEAST one admin!!!!]
He is terribly new to this, and seems extremely extremely sorry for breaking WP:NPA (TOWARDS AN ARTICLE). The grave offence committed by him was to use one four letter word beginning with F and ending with k (With the letters c and u somewhere in between, in some order); and to add an "extremely islamic resource" website.
He is terribly sorry about it that he cant get over doing something wrong at Wikipedia and has posted an apology on his user page. He says - "In my personal opinion, however, I condemn, decry, and reprobate any actions against human rights, especially those instated on base of ethnic, religion, and race." He is open to any and all legal actions against him, and provided both his email address and his actual address so that any/all offended parties can contact him so that his legal counsel can reply back within 10 days.
Can any admin/oversight please simply remove the address and email address from the user page history? I'm pretty sure it must not be allowed to stay on in the encyclopedia at any time (inorder to stop him from actual harm from trolls and vandals). And please also remove the offending words and the apology from the archives of the " Guantanamo Bay". Once that is done, I prefer an admin [A normal user would not be good enough] please baptise him and rid him of all sins online [Or I fear he would either not be able to sleep at night, or would take this matter to ArbCom or the Indonesian Supreme Court asking for legal action against himself] and categorically state that what he did will not be taken against him later on.
Have a nice laugh, and please help this user; and advise him to proceed. Thanks!!! TheOriginalSoni ( talk) 18:55, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, just out of interest is there any reason you deleted the picture of the goalkeeper making a save from the association football page? Cls14 ( talk) 15:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
No, you can't use that flag; "You may choose the flag of any extant political entity (countries, counties, states, towns, principalities and so on) providing it is freely licensed." So, a country, or a town, or a state or something would be fine. Fictional flags are not OK. As for the featured pictures, merely nominating a picture does not constitute significant work; you have to have produced the picture in some way, or gone to significant effort to have it ready for Wikipedia. Merely nominating it, or even merely uploading it after you have found it elsewhere, does not count. And yes, it has to be on the English Wikipedia, not Commons.

In your recent reply at the Tea House I think you should also have indicated that a copy of a letter is not reliable source per WP:RS unless it has itself been published in a reliable source, in which case the source where it is published should be cited and not the letter.

I have removed the nomination of Sitush for Editor of the Week as malformed. If a discussion is required before nomination, it is best to have such a discussion first then make the nim. However, I also note that Sitush is not an unsung heroe. They are very well known and actively controversial making them far more known than what is within the Editor of the Week criteria. While i respect the editor and hope them a speedy recovery, I doubt they would agree that they are "unsung" in comaprison to other nominations. I cannot speak for the editor, but believe they are aware of their own notoriety.-- Amadscientist ( talk) 02:54, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

TheOriginalSoni:
Many salutations!!! I am pleased that you took such an interest in my latest contribution to Wikipedia; when I started work on it, I was having some RL housing troubles because of my ex-landlord back in August 2011. The fact that it has taken me until January 2013 illustrates how adversely this has affected me.
The feature presentation is your appraisal of the recently-completed »Ashita no Nadja« episode synopsis page that I do not think has been thoroughly considered. If I recall correctly, here are the flaws that have been cited:
Let us look at these one at a time. I am at a loss for why you think that there are any spelling and grammar errors when I laid down for a good night's sleep prior to moving the page out of the user space so that fatigue is not a reason for me to overlook anything.
I do have to object to your declaration of the article possibly being too long to comfortably read and navigate. »Ashita no Nadja« has FIFTY episodes in total ... that fact alone should make it clear that this is not going to be a short article. The plot of »Ashita no Nadja« involves multiple incidences of crossing between countries; if you look at the article really carefully, I have divided the fifty episodes based on their geographical setting. I will also take this opportunity to interject that I would have had a more difficult time composing that article if I had not done that.
On a related note, I take particular umbrage at your declaration of my plot summary being too long or excessively detailed; I exerted an immense effort to restrain myself from being pedantic. I should also point out to you that there is NOTHING stopping YOU from composing an »Ashita no Nadja« episode synopsis page from scratch if my handiwork is not to your liking. I did not see anybody else taking that first step and I am quite frankly appalled at the hypocrisy of the attempt thereof on my part being so caustically criticized. If I had perfectly composed all the articles I wrote, there would not be a need for anyone else to polish and refine it ... do you not think that insults the alpha premise of Wikipedia as a COLLABORATIVE endeavor?

I am intrigued by this edit, in which you refer to "a recent edit", but give no indication of which edit, and I wonder if you could say which edit you have in mind. You refer to "a misuse of a warning or blocking template". This IP address has never posted a blocking template, so you must be referring to a warning template. None of the four warning templates posted from this IP address looks to me as though it is obviously the one you refer to. I look forward to reading your reply, and I also suggest that, for the future, it would help if you were to always give a link to a relevant diff when you post such a message. 79.123.81.63 ( talk) 12:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Just leave them be, and let people contribute freely. Removing people's comments is inappropriate, and should never be done, except by admins in unique circumstances.

Hi! I know that you had the best intentions about protecting new editors at the Teahouse when you suggested they should be warned before being blocked for promotional usernames. Even though that proposal is going to take some work to get accepted, I think the attitude of educating new editors before we shut them out is a really healthy approach and one that will pay dividends broadly and especially in the atmosphere of the Teahouse that people like you are trying to create. Thanks for pointing out an area where we can do better and pursuing it in the forum where it needs to be raised. It's great, keep it up!
