RfA
Hi Rickyc123, thanks for volunteering to serve the community as an administrator - your enthusiasm is appreciated! A while back, an essay called WP:NOTNOW was written, and I think your RfA is going to be opposed for the reasons listed there. We expect our administrators to have a wide breadth of experience and knowledge, which in 10 months and 942 edits can't be overly demonstrated. Don't fret though! Take a look at some of the advice listed here, and consider withdrawing your RfA before it is closed early. On behalf of the community, thank you for creating awesome articles (such as UFC 218) and contributing - it really is appreciated, and in time you'll be ready to become an administrator. Perhaps have a look at how to help with vandalism and get involved in some more administrative tasks? If you need any help, or have any questions, let me know -- There'sNoTime 12:11, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
Your RfA was closed as WP:NOTNOW
Thank you for taking the time to begin the process of requesting adminship. Your RfA has been closed per WP:NOTNOW based on the discussions there. I encourage you to carefully review all of the comments made there and on the talk page, and then implement any suggestions you think will increase your chances should you choose to put yourself forward as a candidate in the future. After some time has passed, please consider running again. We appreciate your time, and look forward to seeing you as a candidate again in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kostas20142 (talk • contribs)
- @Kostas20142: You linked to the talk page in your own RfA. You should be focusing on content (which Rickyc123 does) and leave the busy work well alone. Ritchie333 13:49, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

MMA articles
There is a long standing consensus described in WP:NMMA. Three top tier fights. Personally I don't get to bothered by close but the last one was to far and really not that notable in context.PRehse (talk) 20:37, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

2018 Kids' Choice Awards moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2018 Kids' Choice Awards, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Proposed deletion of Kerman Lejarraga
The article Kerman Lejarraga has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:NBOX as the WBA international title is not considered a notable non-world title.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. JTtheOG (talk) 03:16, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

DuPont derailment
What is your reasoning for moving the article from a specific location title to a more general location title? Mjroots (talk) 18:30, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
- I also asked this on the article talk page. Natureium (talk) 18:34, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
- Please do not move pages by cutting and pasting as it means the WP:ATTRIBUTION is lost, and copyright is violated. I've asked for assistance at WP:AN to sort out the history merge. Mjroots (talk) 18:48, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Copying my draft word for word
Why would you copy my Draft:Age Before Beauty (TV series) and claim credit for creating Age Before Beauty (TV series)? You could have moved my draft to the mainspace or credited me or started your own article from scratch. Bennv3771 (talk) 11:04, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
