Hello! Thank you so much for this welcome :) I briefly came by in 2023 but came back to learn my way around and hopefully help where I can. Thank you for all the helpful links & I hope to stick around and be a part of the community! Smallestredboy (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi Smallestredboy,

This is about Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#IPs disruptively editing for era markers.

My guess is that the IP users are most likely not familiar with terms like "Hebrew Bible" and "Masoretic Text", given that in their edit summaries they have used "Bible" as a synonym of the Christian biblical canon traditions, here and here.

Yes, it looks to me like you've gone about this in an appropriate way

• Warnings given before escalating to WP:ANI
• Starting a discussion on the article talk page

Me, I would have linked MOS:BCE and given a simple explanation about why it applies to the Book of Lamentations specifically before escalating.

Does this help? Peter in Australia aka Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:01, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

I forgot to reply to this - thank you so much for the guidance and the reassurance that I went about it well! I'm a chronic AN/I lurker (before I even got back into editing, really) so I was worried I'd do it the wrong way as I've seen a lot of people do ^^' smallest red boy^he/she/it (talk • contribs) 23:39, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Welcome, welcome, welcome Smallestredboy! I'm glad that you are joining the November 2025 drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Brachysternus prasinus, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Chubut and Llanquihue. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Smallestredboy—from anti-vandalism, to copyediting, to the unreferenced articles drive, to your work on content, you’ve done great things in a very short amount of time, and I have very much enjoyed your thoughtful, insightful, and impressive “how on earth did you notice all that just whilst recent changes patrolling” questions (you know what that last one’s referring to!). Keep it up, felices fiestas to you and yours, and have a wonderful 2026!

Thank you a lot, Romean! I hope to keep helping to improve Wikipedia this coming year. Felices fiestas to you too! smallest red boy^he/she/it (talk • contribs) 20:57, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, Smallestredboy, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created two women's biographies and we look forward to many more. In this connection, you might find it helpful to look through the tips in our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:49, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey there, just wanted to say thanks for bringing up WP:ANI § Transphobic disruptive editor clearly NOTHERE. --Gurkubondinn (talk) 11:59, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

Of course! I'm glad to have caught it while RC patrolling. smallest red boy^he/she/it (talk • contribs) 18:06, 9 January 2026 (UTC)
