Hello, Detetrident!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! S0091 (talk) 22:23, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Your recent edits
These edits to User talk:31.94.2.76 and [1] were wrong for a number of reasons, such as adding unreferenced content, making false claims about the edits of another user and posting fake (and patronising) warnings. Please take greater care in the future. 31.94.2.76 (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, that was my bad; I reverted all of my changes pretty much immediately after I made them. Apologies for the inconvenience. Detetrident (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Biographies of living persons
Hi Detetrident,
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 articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.
Regarding your edits to the article about Wendy Burch, when someone removes content about a living person with an edit summary like "not true and libelous", reverting their contribution as "unexplained content removal" less than a minute later is highly problematic.
Not only was the content removal well-explained, the source was the New York Post (WP:RSP#New_York_Post), a known unreliable source. Please remember (or become aware) that you are legally responsible for content you (re-)add to Wikipedia (cf. WP:TOU), and that WP:BLPUNDEL and WP:BURDEN exist.
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:42, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback; I will 100% keep this in mind when editing in future. Detetrident (talk) 02:19, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

+rollback
Hi Staraction,
After reviewing your request, I have added your account to the rollback group. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
- Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
- Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "
[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful. - Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
- If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.
To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!
Best regards,
