September 2021

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. 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 DrDisRespect. 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 Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, 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 Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Oh, I didn't think about the edit histories. Sorry about that. CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 13:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Assistance

Hello Cosmic! I saw your message and Teahouse and, as well as telling you there, am telling you here as well that I would be glad to help you out in building Wikipedia's content. Just let me know on my talk page. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 14:43, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're trying to request a move for a page. A page move like the one you're requesting would be better if discussed on the talk page of the article you would like to be moved. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 14:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I still have a request open on the talk page. I wasn't sure where to post the request. Thanks for the suggestion. :) CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 14:58, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Like I said, I'd be glad to assist you with anything you need help with. Just leave a note on my talk page! ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 15:00, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks man. :) CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 15:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, no problem! I enjoy helping out new users because of how confusing Wikipedia can be. Something important you should remember with anti-vandalism is WP:DENY which basically says, don't feed the trolls. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 15:03, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, just revert and move on. 👌 I'll be back in a little while. CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 15:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is admittedly something I struggle with myself. However usually I simply jsut revert, welcome/warn, and move on. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 15:07, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse

If you are relatively new to Wikipedia, please do not attempt to answer questions at Teahouse. 31.209.146.55 (talk) 18:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That comment seemed a bit...bitey. I'm not entirely unfamiliar with Wikipedia. I've been on the internet a long time, and so has Wikipedia. CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 18:04, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that this could've been worded a bit differently. Generally it's a good idea for new users to gain a bit more experience before answering questions on Teahouse as we want to try and give the most accurate answers possibly because Teahouse is where (Mostly) new users go to ask questions. If we let anyone answer questions then new users might receive some bad advice that could lead them to getting blocked. Take a look at my talk page archive to see what happens when a less experienced user answers questions (usually incorrectly). ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 18:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as I said I'm not entirely unfamiliar to Wikipedia. It's been around for a very long time, so I shouldn't have to be quieted when trying to give answers and suggestions just because my account is new. I've more than been able to demonstrate this, as well. CosmicJacuzzi (talk) 18:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, however I don't actually know how much experience you have. If you want to answer questions at Teahouse I'd suggest at least being generally familiar with WIkipedia's policies (if you already are then maybe ask another host if the think it's alright for you to be answering questions). ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 18:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other accounts

What other accounts have you used?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:08, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23: They stated that they edited as an IP previously and only recently created an account. Not sure if that's the entirety of it or not. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 19:09, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First, I don't see where they said they'd edited as an IP, certainly not on this page, and, second, even if true, I don't believe that's all they've done.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:12, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think they may have said that on Teahouse. And that would make sense if they think they've edited long enough to have enough knowledge to answer questions on Teahouse. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 19:16, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not everything makes sense in this world. BTW, your signature is awful, mainly the spacing of it, although the colors aren't great either.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:24, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Might I ask what's wrong about the spacing? ~~Also I was not the one who made it. Levi_OP was and he gave me the idea to use a color from my Discord pfp as part of my signature~~ ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 19:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of space between the #0001 and the date/time stamp, so, for example, on one of your comments here, because your sig is so long, it caused a line break and the part on the next line was to the left of the comment's indent, making it look really weird. At least that's the way it is on my screen.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:37, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see. I'd fix that except I have no clue what part of my sig code is causing it to look like that. ― Blaze The Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#0001} 19:42, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't look at me (smiling). I don't use customized sigs. You could ask at the Help desk, or maybe you could ask CosmicJacuzzi at the Teahouse. :p --Bbb23 (talk) 20:26, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AP discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
