Hi, welcome to Wikipedia!

On your sandbox, I can see you are currently writing a draft one word per edit. Whilst not against the rules, such editing can be seen as disruptive as it can make it very difficult for other users to look at the edit history of the article and can be seem as a form of spam. You are suggested to edit in larger chunks - if you are worried about introducing mistakes, if you hit the "preview" button before submitting your edit you can see what it will look like and make any changes you want!

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions about editing. CoconutOctopus talk 21:02, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Referentis. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to User:Norowy/sandbox appear to be gaming the system. Gaming the system is defined as misusing Wikipedia's policies for personal advantage at the expense of other editors. Wikipedia policies exist to support constructive collaboration, not to be used tactically to disrupt or "win" disputes. Gaming the system is easily spotted and your contributions are always public. Examples of gaming the system may include, but are not limited to:

  • Wikilawyering excessively literal or selective interpretation of policies to sidestep their intent
  • Cherry-picking wording from a policy to support a view that does not in fact match with or comply with policy
  • Repeatedly pushing a viewpoint with which the community consensus clearly does not agree
  • Gaslighting such as rewriting history or denying clear evidence of prior actions
  • Abuse of process, including but not limited to gaming of the AfC process (ex: removing the record of previous reviews)
  • Deliberately reverting another editor's edits in one article in retaliation for a dispute elsewhere
  • Making unconstructive or trivial edits to raise your user access level

You can find more details on gaming the system, including more examples of potentially problematic behavior, at Wikipedia:Gaming the system. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk, or reach out to me at my talk page. Thanks. Referentis (talk) 06:01, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi Norowy, I have disabled your account's ability to automatically obtain the extended confirmed permission when you make 500 edits, as your sandbox edits constitute permission gaming. You are welcome to manually request the extended confirmed permission at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Extended confirmed after making at least 500 reasonable constructive edits (in addition to the edits you have already made) at least 30 days from today. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 09:29, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
