Teahouse answers

Hi - if someone posts an obvious homework question at the Teahouse, please don't encourage them by answering it. Point them to a relevant article, if you like, or to a Ref Desk (though they also won't do people's homework for them). 199.208.172.35 (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I was unaware this was one of our policies. Looks like I have more reading up to do. Club On a Sub 20 (talk) 17:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, if you could, can you point me to where this is stated? Club On a Sub 20 (talk) 17:48, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Club On a Sub 20, the purpose of the Teahouse is not to answer homework questions. The purpose of homework is not to go out and have other people do the research for you. Does this really need to be written down somewehere? 199.208.172.35 (talk) 17:50, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, I misunderstood Club On a Sub 20 (talk) 17:55, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want it written out, see #4 here. Note that the very experienced folks who had already replied did not give answers. There's a reason for that. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 17:54, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edits at Wikipedia:Help desk

There's no need to give trolls time or attention. There's no reason to keep plainly unconstructive sections at the help desk. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:46, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Slower on AfD, please

Hi, I noticed you recently nominated a large amount of articles at WP:Articles for deletion. Keep in mind that while it's quick to nominate them, it can take editors hours to dig up sources for each. When you nominate a lot at once, it can overwhelm. —siro χ o 16:29, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the warning. Another editor recently told me about this. I’ll be slowing down to 1 or 2 nominations a day now. Industrial Insect (talk) 16:44, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wait for the current batch to clear if they are going to be on similar topics, and then start up again at 1 or 2 a day. There are many, many, many other ways you can improve Wikipedia in the meantime =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 19:32, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Myth of the Spat-on Vietnam Veteran

Hello Industrial Insect,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Myth of the Spat-on Vietnam Veteran for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want The Myth of the Spat-on Vietnam Veteran to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Oops, that was my fault. Thanks for cleaning it up! Industrial Insect (talk) 17:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! If you do a lot of draftifying, you might want to use the WP:MTD gadget. It automatically marks the leftover redirects as {{db-r2}} when draftifying. Cheers! TartarTorte 17:38, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is AFD a Vote or Not?

I noticed you have stated that AFD is a vote and that AFD is not a vote. Can you please be consistent? 71.121.219.230 (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall ever stating that AfD is a vote. Could you provide a diff? Industrial Insect (talk) 14:06, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
