[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. In a recent edit to the page [[:Teen Big Brother: The Experiment]], you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English|respect national varieties of English]] in Wikipedia articles. |
|||
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use [[British English]]. For something related to the United States in the same way, use [[American English]]. For something related to another [[List of countries and territories where English is an official language|English-speaking country]], such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the ''first'' author of the article used. |
|||
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on [[User talk:CodeTalker|my talk page]] or visit the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-engvar --> [[User:CodeTalker|CodeTalker]] ([[User talk:CodeTalker|talk]]) 01:25, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

:I see that you have done this several times, such as [[Special:Diff/1177195614|here]]. Please note that "programme" is not a misspelling of "program"; it is the correct spelling in British English, and per [[WP:ENGVAR]], it is the form that should be used in articles about UK subjects. Thank you. [[User:CodeTalker|CodeTalker]] ([[User talk:CodeTalker|talk]]) 01:36, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::My apologies, I did not realize that the article was written in British English. I will read more about [[WP:ENGVAR]]. Thanks for the message. [[User:TheAlienMan2002|TheAlienMan2002]] ([[User talk:TheAlienMan2002#top|talk]]) 12:12, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

You have made only 304 edits over two years and you are now handing out bad advice at the Teahouse? Please rethink your approach and only answer Teahouse questions when you are highly confident that your answer is correct and useful. Advising an editor to go to [[WP:ANI]] about a content dispute was neither correct nor useful. Now, that editor is being cross-examined because you gave bad advice. Please be more careful. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 07:40, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:@[[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] If the user has a conflict with another user, then ANI would be the right place for it. But carefully examining it, I saw that it was not the best choice. People make good and bad choices, and it certainly won't happen again. [[User:TheAlienMan2002|TheAlienMan2002]] ([[User talk:TheAlienMan2002#top|talk]]) 12:11, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::[[WP:ANI]] {{tpq|is for discussion of urgent incidents and chronic, intractable behavioral problems.}} It is not for routine conflicts with other users. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 17:42, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

:::TheAlienMan2002, I think perhaps you missed the point Cullen was making; editors with little experience or depth of policy knowledge shouldn't be advising others. There's a lot of nuance that requires more than 300 edits to absorb. There are also myriad tasks on Wikipedia that could use the help of a willing volunteer such as yourself that don't involved providing opinions or advice.-- [[User:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">'''Ponyo'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span>]]</sup> 18:25, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

::::While my 300 edits signify substantial interaction with Wikipedia, they don’t inherently denote comprehensive cognizance or mastery of the platform’s myriad functionalities and norms. Edit quantity is merely a singular metric of engagement, not a holistic representation of one’s proficiency or insight into Wikipedia’s operational mechanics and content stipulations. There exist individuals with fewer edits who may possess a more nuanced apprehension of Wikipedia’s foundational principles and constructive contribution strategies. The essence of contribution lies not in volume but in the quality, relevance, and constructive nature of the edits, impacting the platform’s informational accuracy and utility. Thus, a lesser number of edits doesn’t necessarily equate to a deficit in understanding or knowledge of responsible and effective Wikipedia use.

:::::You are continuing to give bad advice in areas that you do not understand. You have done so at [[Special:Diff/1178097874|ANI]] and [[Special:Diff/1178098312|again at the Teahouse]]. And whatever that apparently ChatGPT-generated word salad above is supposed to mean, it is not helpful. I suggest that you focus on improving articles and avoid the WP namespace until you have a lot more experience. Your current behavior is putting you on course to get blocked from editing. [[User:CodeTalker|CodeTalker]] ([[User talk:CodeTalker|talk]]) 18:23, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::First of all, what reason am I getting blocked for? I have done nothing wrong on this platform, and your accusation saying I have "Chat-GPT" generated messages is absurd. Please rethink when you're replying to people on Wikipedia. Please do not violate [[WP:NOPA]]. |
|||
::::::In case you don't understand what I meant, the article states: "It is as unacceptable to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or one who has been blocked, banned, or otherwise sanctioned, as it is to attack any other user. '''Wikipedia encourages a civil community: people make mistakes, but they are encouraged to learn from them and change their ways.'''". |
|||
::::::I made a mistake, I already expected myself to not let it happen again, but please refrain from the accusations. Thanks, [[User:TheAlienMan2002|TheAlienMan2002]] ([[User talk:TheAlienMan2002#top|talk]]) 18:31, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::You've say you've done nothing wrong? Three different editors (two of them administrators) have told you what you're doing wrong '''in this very section''' that you replied to. If you're not able to understand the problems with your behavior after it has been clearly explained to you, then that's certainly one of the reasons for which you may be blocked. [[User:CodeTalker|CodeTalker]] ([[User talk:CodeTalker|talk]]) 18:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::They've told me I apparently "gave bad advice" to Wikipedians at different articles. '''If you can redirect me to an article where it says that I am not allowed to give out bad advice to Wikipedians ''' then that would be fantastic because it's a way for me to learn from my mistakes.

:::“intractable behavioral problems”. The person clearly had behavioral problems with another editor. Thus, making the right choice, honored. [[User:TheAlienMan2002|TheAlienMan2002]] ([[User talk:TheAlienMan2002#top|talk]]) 20:33, 30 September 2023 (UTC) |

== My username == |

hi, I'm sorry that my username caused you any type of discomfort. This name just popped up in my head for no particular reason so I really don't mind changing it, how can i do that? [[User:Lean Harvey Oswald|Lean Harvey Oswald]] ([[User talk:Lean Harvey Oswald|talk]]) 13:11, 1 October 2023 (UTC) |
|||
: [[User:Lean Harvey Oswald|Lean Harvey Oswald]] Please read [[WP:BLPABUSE]] to find out more about your username. It states that you cannot put a notable deceased person as your username. |
|||
:To read about changing usernames, go to [[WP:RENAME]] to do so. Make sure to read EVERYTHING before doing so, and once you change your username, your old username will be available for other people to use, if that is the case. |
|||
:Finally, to change usernames, go here: [[Special:GlobalRenameRequest]] to change your global username. Or, if you need a different option, click this link: [[Wikipedia:Changing username#Venues]]. |
