While I appreciate you sharing your opinion, you might consider gaining more experience editing articles before offering your thoughts on whether or not other editors should be sanctioned. You have only made 108 edits so even though you created your account years ago, you haven't done much editing lately except to ANI. I've seen many enthusiastic, inexperienced editors get in over their heads by diving into administrative areas when they actually aren't that familiar with the many Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
Noticeboards can be a harsh place, not just for editors who are being reported by sometimes for discussion participants and I would rather not see you get yourself into trouble. Editors who participate almost exclusively in noticeboard discussions can be seen as "dramamongers", here for the conflicts and disputes instead of contributing to the encyclopedia. I'm not saying that you can not participate at ANI, just that it would be wise for you to balance out your participation there with some regular editing like copy editing, anti-vandal work, draft creation or finding sources for articles. Thank you for your contributions.

@LaughingManiac Thank you so much for this, it's really kind and cheered me up too!
I commented a couple of times on ANI & started to weigh in on situations that I had no experience of & Liz kindly gave me a heads-up on that. Someone else suggested that I could maybe reach out to people to offer help or advice on their Talk pages instead.
Since I'm pretty inexperienced with editing I've not been touching any situations where there's apparent malice, nor if it's really complicated & I'll cause trouble for others. Otherwise, if there's a competent editor who does really good work but it's getting genuinely frustrated, I think it's a good idea to reach out and acknowledge how they feel - I can do that at least!
Admins have to deal with so much stuff on here, so if there's a chance to keep someone who genuinely cares about their work from ruining their account, then I'd like to try 🙂
That said, I don't want to become a nuisance so if you or anyone else feels I'm getting too involved in something, need feedback or am otherwise out of line please let me know ASAP! I don't want it to look like I'm yeeting myself all over the place with a hero complex trying to save everyone 😁 Blue-Sonnet (talk) 16:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241111164300","author":"Blue-Sonnet","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Blue-Sonnet-20241111164300-LaughingManiac-20241111063800","replies":["c-LaughingManiac-20241111165500-Blue-Sonnet-20241111164300"]}}-->

You were right to point this out, actually - I suppose what they've been posting on their talk page isn't terribly urgent, but it's not a block appeal either, so I've revoked their talk page access.

@Asilvering Thank you so much for letting me know! I wasn't sure if they posted that before or after their block and had a bit of a panic over mentioning it 😅

Hi so I went to the global account logs to try and see if our friend Correction 1000 edited any other Wikipedia's. I found that he also tried to edit the Zhu Wen page on Chinese wikipedia and also got into a dispute there too. However, he did post a long expiation of why he was making the edit which kinda made more sense then what he was posting here. Per usual it was a really long paragraph but I copied the most useful part of it here: "Also, just because someone put it on first does not mean he is correct. You can compare the portrait of Emperor Shun with the previous portrait that was not Zhu Wen's but had Zhu Wen's name written next to it. They are exactly the same. Now someone has used computer software to modify the portrait of Emperor Shun to change his identity."

Thank you so much for that - I still need to build experience on when to draw the line, my desire to help coloured my perspective & inadvertently made things worse. Steven has sent an apology which is appreciated, but it shouldn't have gone that far with someone who was honestly just trying to help and I'm going to follow though on my promise to disengage.
I'm feeling better now since I just ate a ton of ice cream (I may pay for that later!) I didn't know what else to do and let my emotions boil over a little when writing my last post.

You asked me the question Do you want an essay to be written because you think that you're being personally targeted?
Here is the answer: Yes I was personally targeted, but not in a form of one that you may think it was, in my case I was personally targeted because I just wanted to be friendly to this community, and the way how people were treating my GvK poster, felt like I was violated or an embarrassment to the community. In the AfD you looked at, Pokelego mentions here that can defend me, here is what Pokelego said "I would suggest the nom try and be a bit more respectful, especially since GojiraFan is a relatively new user still learning the ropes.", if you noticed, I am still learning the ropes on Wikipedia, meaning that I'm not perfect, or one of those bots.

Hi @GojiraFan1954, I'm sorry to hear you feel that way, but I really don't think you were personally targeted because it looked like you were several people. Each of your edits was under a different ID - either an IP or your username - so it looked like more than one person.
You said you were targeted because you wanted to be friendly - that's an unusual reason to target someone, so you're saying that you were friendly to someone and they harassed you because of that? Can you please show me a link so I can look into that for you because that should never, ever happen! If you're editing logged in and logged out under different IP addresses, it's really hard for me to find any of that No-one should be mean because you want to be friends.
I can see why you feel embarrassed about your edits being reverted, but you really don't need to be - everyone here makes mistakes and everyone gets reverted all the time.
I'm still pretty new and if you look through my contributions you can see that I'm still making mistakes now!
I felt super embarrassed when I got the post from Liz titled "ANI" above because I thought I'd been too nosey, but then I realised she just wanted to look out for me.
In your case, someone was too harsh and got told off by another editor, which must have been embarrassing for them.
They said sorry and offered to help you going forwards, which is exactly what I'd expect from a good editor - to apologise and try to fix things they've done wrong.
You're still new and learning, which is good! So, if someone removes or deletes one of your edits, that's totally normal on Wikipedia! Even people who've been here decades still disagree and delete each others work. It's an everyday thing here.
What's important is how we deal with it. If your work is deleted, you go to the Talk page on the article and tag that person to talk about it and see what to do going forwards. It's the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle process and it's the lifeblood of the encyclopedia. You might not have realised something, or they might have made a mistake. You might need a third person to help decide.
It's really hard to tell how someone feels when ask you have is writing, which is why Wikipedia is also built on assuming good intent in the first place. You always start thinking the other person is being genuine; you only presume that someone is editing in bad faith after it becomes clear that's what's happening. It's also much less stressful to assume the best in people!
You will make more mistakes on Wikipedia.
I will make more mistakes on Wikipedia.
Some of them might feel embarrassing.
What's important is what we do next.
I think we should take our mistakes to heart and learn from them. If someone points out I've done something wrong, that's a good thing - I now know something I didn't know before and wouldn't have known if I hadn't messed up! If I'm right, I can talk to the other person and help them learn. Look through my history and I hope you'll see how rewarding it can be to engage with others. There are times where someone has been editing in bad faith - in those cases you must be clear and show proof.
You should also be ready to admit that you might be wrong (this one did make me feel a little embarrassed for nominating it, when a really experienced editor voted against me).
If you ever need help, I'm still learning but I'll do my best - if you can stick to editing whilst logged in, that'll make it so much easier to see if there is anything to worry about, or just figure out what's happened!
@Armegon and @Cowboygilbert, do you mind chiming in if you have a moment to reassure @GojiraFan1954? I'm sure you feel the same way about Wikipedia, Armegon and you both clearly love Godzilla and want the best for the article! If you're busy or don't see this, then I totally understand ^_^ Blue Sonnet (talk) 08:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241230085200","author":"Blue-Sonnet","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Blue-Sonnet-20241230085200-GojiraFan1954-20241230060500","replies":["c-GojiraFan1954-20241230085700-Blue-Sonnet-20241230085200"],"displayName":"Blue Sonnet"}}-->
Clarification:
I just wanted to be friendly to this community by simply making sure that nothing is too old, I am being aware of what is going on around me, and not demonstrating the "WP:IDONTLIKEWHOCREATEDIT"-sort of behaviour, and that it should be modernized with a much newer image as I feared that people looking at an article with an old image in an infobox would be "boring".
Kinda like what Higuchi feared when he was teaming up with Anno on making Shin Godzilla.

Ah, that makes sense, and I do see how you felt that way when you had your edits undone with such a sharp response from another editor. It's good that you want to update images in the articles, but the rules about that can be a bit complicated if there are already some in place... I'd suggest working your way up and building experience - so look for some Godzilla-related articles that either don't have images or only have poor quality ones, then try to find a better version on Commons? You can even add a post to the article Talk page first and ask someone experienced for advice on what you should look for? It's more important to make sure that all Godzilla articles have a strong basis before we look at tidying up the bigger ones! I'm sure there must be small stubs that could really do with some citations or images, but get ignored because they're not well-known - that's somewhere true fans can really shine!
I'm trying to build up experience myself, so I'm sticking to smaller edits until I know enough about editing to try something big like a new article.

@GojiraFan1954, I am going to be truthful and give you the full thing. Armegon did act out of order but had acted in good faith and later apologized for what he said, but you continued to act in bad faith and continue to try to start a witch-hunt against him/her by pulling every single different card out of your back pocket. Then going to say that you are going to create this essay just because one editor had deleted your article. That’s disruptive and is not helping to contribute to the encyclopedia. While you may be new, we all were once new to the encyclopedia once too but we familiarized ourselves with policies and guidelines and acted in good faith towards other editors. I feel like if you really need to, is to take a break from editing Wikipedia and drop the stick. Also, like what @Blue-Sonnet said is to remain logged in while editing because if you are disruptive while logged out you can be blocked per WP:LOUTSOCK.

@GojiraFan1954: Blue-Sonnet and Cowboygilbert are right. You’re clearly new to Wikipedia and you’re bound to make lots of mistakes. So when you see more experienced editors undoing, reverting, or fixing your mistakes you shouldn’t take it personally like you did with this situation. There is no vendetta or conspiracy against you, especially if your edits are reversed if they fail to meet policy and guidelines. We were all once in the same boat as you are now: new to Wiki, making mistake after mistake — but we learned from those mistakes and became better editors because of it. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little upset that you took me to admin-incidents over a trivial matter and tried to spin it into an impeachment. Disputes are typically taken to an article’s talk page or dispute resolution board; Admin-incidents are for extreme cases. But I also understand that you’re new. This is one of many mistakes that you will make, so leniency and good faith is warranted on you. From one Godzilla fan to another, I’m still willing to help you out when you need it - I’ve been editing 11 years, after all. Just understand that I’m not lashing out against you if I disagree on an idea or reverse an edit. Like Blue-Sonnet said, reverting and undoing is a common daily thing on Wikipedia. No vendettas or conspiracies, just edits that meet policy and guidelines.
