User talk:WorldClassChampion

We're always happy to have more help here!

As a request, though, please be civil even to infuriating LLM abusers. There's a strong feeling in some quarters that LLM patrolling is meanspirited and destructive, and we don't want to provide ammunition for that view. M kuhner (talk) 00:15, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia conduct boards indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:15, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Damon Kemp is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article is being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damon Kemp until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may still edit the article, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the AfD notice from the article until the discussion is closed.

Hi WorldClassChampion, your participation on noticeboards includes some actions which are not helpful. Posting for example, "I agree with this sanction" is not a productive contribution to AN/EW. Your contributions to the AN/I conversation about IZAK appear a bit confused about the way things generally happen, for example we do not usually have a "tally of votes". Your clerking of the AI noticeboard such as here complicates the noticeboard further, and your creation of the Wikipedia:AI conduct board suggests you are not too familiar with how the board works. I would really encourage you to step back from noticeboards until you have more experience here. CMD (talk) 07:33, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

I apologise. We just all want the best out of this platform don’t we, and I just saw stuff lying about that nobody’s attending to WorldClassChampion (talk) 07:40, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

If an AN/EW report has a result, it has been attended to. If someone has not attended to an AI report, that is usually because it is hard and time-consuming to resolve, rather than something that can be easily closed. I haven't seen an AN/I report unattended to lately, but if it happens there is likely a good reason. CMD (talk) 08:02, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Right. Yeah I see your point now. WorldClassChampion (talk) 08:08, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, some of your ANI edits have continued to be unhelpful. There's nothing wrong with non-admins participating constructively on noticeboards -- I have for a number of years -- but you first really need to get a better feel for both the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia and how discussions work. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 09:19, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello WorldClassChampion, if this is meant to push your account beyond 500 edits (you're currently at 490), I see the motivation; else I don't. Whatever it is, please decrease it. We don't need non-admin closes at WP:ANEW and we don't need inexperienced editors adding their personal quick opinion to every case at WP:ANI. The Task Center contains productive ideas, the community portal exists – you'll become extended-confirmed soon enough without adding unnecessary text to noticeboards. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm not trying to game the system. I already conceded from editing threads after CMD chimed in, I just wanted to add my insights WorldClassChampion (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Okay. Please don't. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

@CMD, this isn't an attempt at a self-plug, but I did write WP:ANICLERK for exactly this. I recommend @WorldClassChampion to have a read. 11WB 💬 09:38, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Damn, 11WB. Point taken 😂 WorldClassChampion (talk) 09:43, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Wasn't meant as a knock. I am guilty of this myself, as are many others. Takes time to understand how things work. 11WB 💬 09:54, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

lol yeah, happens to the best of us WorldClassChampion (talk) 10:15, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

you've also been welcoming people who have more experience than you , Purring maggot has been doing AI cleanup for months now, and SuperHamster wrote Commons' AI policy Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 13:00, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

I was just going through the first three-four recent people on the participants and found nobody welcomed them WorldClassChampion (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

It's good to check if they're actually new; SuperHamster has been editing here for 19 years, so a welcome to Wikipedia has little value. Wikipedia is not a social media site, so welcomes are useful because of the utility of pointing newcomers to Wikipedia's rules and guidelines. There are a number of useful welcome templates at WP:WT. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 15:57, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

I would strongly recommend using Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups as it makes it very easy to check how old an editor's account is. Of course, it is not much help when editing on a phone. Before welcoming someone, it is good practice to check the history of their user talk page as well. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 18:02, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

I know how to check age. I just welcomed them

To the Wikiproject, I thought that was the norm here WorldClassChampion (talk) 18:21, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
