We get a lot of disruptive editing and sometimes our more experienced editors get a bit overzealous, to the point that they may scare off potentially productive users. Which I hope you to be one. My suggestion to you would be to focus on the mainspace where articles are edited and I hope to see your positive contributions there. Happy editing! El_C 18:51, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
