Hello, I'm UtherSRG. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Impala, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 12:26, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

146 very small edits

What, may I ask, was the point of making 146 small edits to your user page? UtherSRG (talk) 20:11, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

It's very simple, I'm trying to reach 500 edits so I can edit this protected page 20 upper (talk) 20:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Which page? You can request edits on an article's talk page. UtherSRG (talk) 01:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Just a bit of a warning... your userpage is verging on the borders of what is grounds for deletion via WP:U5. Please read that policy. UtherSRG (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I suggest taking the tutorial. UtherSRG (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

OK, I hear you, I deleted all my unnecessary personal info on my User page. 20 upper (talk) 18:51, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Khrincan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Draft:Megaherbivores without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I'll continue contributing to Misplaced Pages and make more articles. This means a lot to me and I'm grateful. 20 upper (talk) 10:22, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Good job! I do suggest sticking with the AfC process for at least a few articles to get the hang of it. And I strongly suggest starting all new articles in the Draft namespace so that you have more freedom to put the articles together over time; an incomplete article in the main namespace may easily fall under a ] rationale. Cheers! UtherSRG (talk) 11:59, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

UtherSRG ... and even a Draft article can be subject to WP:CSD: Draft:Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Walter Donaldson (snooker player)/archive2. I'm a bit concerned here, and I see you have been attempting some mentoring, but it looks like more may be needed. 20 upper indicated they made the hundreds of edits to their user page so they could make extended confirmed user, but I wonder if they are ready for it? Today, for an article that is already a Featured article, they created a copy of a FAC in Draft and moved it to a FAC page with a (false) indication the article had been promoted as a Featured article by FACbot, and then submitted that (not)promotion to WP:WIKICUP for points. . At this stage, this could be an innocent mistake of a new-ish editor, but this kind of editing can be viewed as disruptive if it continues, along with the other sorts of things seen on this page.

This is indeed disturbing. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:36, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Fieryninja. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Feminism seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Walter Donaldson

Hi. I'm really confused - why have you created a second nomination for Walter Donaldson to FAC when it's already an FA, then pass the nomination and claim WikiCup points? Lee Vilenski 20:38, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Upper20. At Walter Donaldson, you created a FAC page in Draft, then moved the Draft to a FAC page, and then indicated the article had been promoted by FACbot, when in fact, the article is already an FA, and was never submitted to WP:FAC. The pages you created erroneously have now been deleted. Could you have a look at the FAC instructions so you can avoid doing something like this again? Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh, sorry I didn't mean to cause any disturbances, I really didn't know what I was doing. OK I'll try reading the FAC instructions, again sorry for the disturbances. 20 upper (talk) 03:35, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
