User talk:JJBullet/Archive 4

Hi there. First off, can I start by saying I really love to see young new editors like you wanting to come to grips with editing on Wikipedia? That's because today's new learners can become the great editors of the future - and we need them. Many editors cock up along the way, and end up getting permanently blocked, and I fear you are on that path. I would like to steer you back onto the right course. So I would like to offer you a supportive, but rather stern talking to.

Editing other's user pages:Today, apropos of nothing, you posted this new topic on my user talk page, demanding to know why I had added your username to my proxy watchlist. I hadn't; you had added your name there yourself. Three times! (diff, diff, diff. Not to mention adding this.) When I looked into it, I found you'd also had the cheek to edit my personal "To Do" list, adding some obscure rock band, repeating it with four consecutive edits (diff).

Now, as I said to you on my talk page holding reply, editing other users' pages without good cause is regarded very dimly here. But far worse is when a keen but incompetent editor barges around like a bull in a china shop. Experienced editors start to wonder about their motives. That's when

Scripts: On investigating, it transpires you installed the common.js files of a number of editors into your own common.js file. Now, I can't find a rule that says you aren't allowed to do that. But what a blooming stupid thing for you to do! It seems you've loaded everything from my own common.js page, plus that of @PrimeHunter, Kurousagi, and Martin of Sheffield: without any idea what the scripts on those pages were going to do. So you clicked a few of the fancy new links you'd got from me, including my use of PageCollector script, and then had the temerity to demand why I'd added your name to one of my subpages. What other harm might you do with the scripts of these other users? Please deinstall my common.js file from your own common.js file immediately, plus those of all the other users (unless they say it's OK.) Load scripts individually and test each one first, in future please.

Hat Collecting: You should read

Bots: I am alarmed that you think you're going to create useful bots; others obviously do, too. (see here and these:diff, diff).

Offering adoption:. You are not experienced enough to offer to adopt other users. What on earth makes you think you are competent to assist others? I have removed your entry] on the

Not here: So, my friend, where does all this lead? Well, of the 352 edits you've so far made here, just twenty have been to mainspace articles. Your presence here is in danger of becoming a serious time-sink for everyone else, and that

For information: the scripts in my common.js are harmless, they flag up errors that I use to correct references and citation and the links between them. I don't mind people copying them (that's how I got them), but with permission and understanding. If my scripts run you will see red and brown errors on pages which are fine apart from technical errors and I suspect you wouldn't know how to fix them. You may not like it, but Nick's comments above read to me like good, caring advice and I would commend them to you. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 09:00, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let me start of by saying i am extremely sorry for what has been going on, if you didnt know i am on the Autistic Spectrum and have got

RAD among many others, ""a case of a fairly bright kid who seeks recognition and lots of fancy hats, but doesn't know enough to drive a big car yet"" as you pointed out (Nick) so yes i sometimes might feel the need to be recognized, that is only because all my life I've been a nobody and finally i have the chance to prove myself.--JJB ☎ 09:57, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

Martin of Sheffield, Thanks --JJB ☎ 09:54, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, JJB, thank you for that reply, and thank you for doing as I asked and quickly removing the AAU Userbox and the scripts from your common.js file. That's appreciated. First off, you're not a nobody and, yes, you can prove yourself here. But I really need you to work out the right way of doing that before you do end up in that 'car crash'. We have some amazing editors here who are 'on the spectrum' and who contribute really great things and will become - or already are - fantastic expert editors or brilliant administrators. You are certainly not alone here, and I want you to become brilliant too. Just take a look at

Teahouse whenever you're unsure what's the best thing to do. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply

Also, make every edit count. Pointless edits detract from the purpose of building the encyclopedia. I made thousand of edit by hand before requesting the autmated tools. I even laid on my own warnings by hand. Don't be in a hurry. The edits mount up very quickly, especially if one is as compulsive as i a. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, it really helps--JJB ☎ 10:44, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
