I'm here now.

@CountyCountry I realized I don't need an email to create an account. So I'm here now. Any concerns you may have of sockpuppetry should be against this account. Thanks Maximalistic Editor (talk) 04:18, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

Hello, Maximalistic Editor,

I noticed your postings on WP:AN which is quite unusual for a new account like yours so I was looking through your contributions. I see in a lot of edit summaries you threaten to report editors, I'm not sure where but I'm now guessing that it is to AN or ANI. If editors reported another editor every time there was a disagreement on Wikipedia, no editing would get done. This shouldn't be your first response in a dispute, to pull out the "go to ANI" card. This is an attempt to intimidate other editors and it's not how disputes get resolved here. We talk out our disagreements on talk pages and sometimes on user talk pages. Please do not do this again unless vandalism is occurring and I also don't think it's wise for you to advise an IP editor on how they can get auto-confirmed so they can support your "side" in a talk page disagreement. This is a form of canvassing.

While you might have been editing as an IP account for a while, to other editors, you are a new editor and starting off aggressively is not the way to succeed on a collaborative editing project where we deal with disagreements and disputes every day. You have to find a way to work with editors whose opinions you oppose and the best way to do that is to school yourself on Wikipedia policies and guidelines so you know what lines you shouldn't cross.

If you have questions about this or editing on Wikipedia, you are always welcome to bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
