User talk:Docmoates: Difference between revisions

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know that I have declined your G11 speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Maung Thin (English). Although the article has a promotional tone, it does not contain blatant advertising. Especially when articles are in the draftspace, I recommend refraining from nominating articles for G11 speedy deletion unless they contain unambiguous advertising. Editors using the draftspace are much more likely to be new editors who may not fully understand Wikipedia’s policies regarding tone–not to mention that learning how to successfully write in a neutral point of view is challenging! As such, I suggest practicing restrain when coming across promotional content in the draftspace as nominating a new editor’s first edits for speedy deletion can be very bitey. Thank you for your understanding. Please let me know if you have any questions. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Thank you for the feedback. I will take it under advisement in the future, @Significa liberdade! 🙂 Docmoates (talk) 02:59, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I noticed you created Sarah Hollenstein Career and Technology Center at 03:42, 13 December 2025, and then you went on to create Phil Sorrells (an article containing ~600 words) at 03:57, 13 December 2025, with just fifteen minutes between the two. In a similar vein, you created Eagle Mountain High School at 03:22, 13 December 2025, and added a whole bunch of text the next minute. I’m curious on how you managed to make these edits in such a short succession. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 03:41, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I am happy to explain. I use Google docs to draft so that I can use Grammarly to check my punctuation and so that I can make sure I have the markup correct. On those two days, I uploaded my articles at the end of the day (sometimes in parts). Docmoates (talk) 03:43, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, in the article Professional degree designation in the United States, you used Markdown formatting in places such as *“intends to propose a rule implementing the definition developed through negotiated rulemaking,”*. It also has a hallucinated ref tag “NASFAAChange3”, which you later removed. I read your user page about your neurodivergence affecting your editing patterns, but it surely can’t make you use Markdown or hallucinate references. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 03:53, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a hallucinated ref tag. It is a ref tag that I did not include properly. See here: https://www.nasfaa.org/uploads/documents/Federal_Student_Aid_Change_OB3.pdf. Docmoates (talk) 03:57, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NASFAA is the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. What likely happened (I don’t remember as its been nearly 10 days) is that I added a reference incorrectly using markup and the when I uploaded it, the reference was broken so I removed it because I was unsure what link was the proper link.

Also — Like I said, I am relatively new and still learning the wiki mark up. See my comment at 03:51 and all the examples of edit history on my talk page in the last 48 hours. I’m not sure what you are implying with this interrogation but remember to WP:AGF. Docmoates (talk) 04:01, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know if you have noticed by I am still learning wiki mark up. Just check out my edits on my own page, I am a hot mess, lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Docmoates&action=history Docmoates (talk) 03:51, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
