There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Nicknack009 (talk) 22:59, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently responding to this incident, as I didn't have time before.

Please don't edit archived material. If you wish for the issue to be reopened, you may do so at the current

WP:ANI. Thank you. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 00:45, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

It is right here. However, I would advise not leaving it there on the archive page. If you want, you can bring it up with Nicknack009, however I would suggest leaving your arguments at Talk:Druid, where there is at least an open discussion. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 01:04, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OH Thanks Voidwalker!! I guess I don't really understand some Wiki procedure then. If a person beings up a point of discussion about you, why can you not respond in that very discussion? And what is the correct way to have the talk that is already there linked with what I wanted to add? My point was not to keep beating the argument to death, but to resolve it. How might I do this? I followed your link...but I guess I don't really understand what I am supposed to do. Why would I start another subject for the same topic? Does an administrative discussion become closed after a certain time? If so...why are you still able to edit it? It seems if someone makes a complaint about you...you ought to be able to respond to the "charges".

Well, here's the thing, the discussion happened, nothing got done, and then the discussion got archived. Now, nearly 3 weeks later, you are finally able to respond. However, I don't think, even had you responded to the thread not long after it opened, there would not be much of a change in the end. Perhaps the only difference had you engaged would be that someone would have closed the thread a primarily being a

content dispute

, and not really needing resolution at ANI. (The issues resolved on ANI are primarily behavioral issues).

On to answering your questions. First off, you should be able to participate in discussions about you, except in this case, you were unavailable due to something on your end. At ANI they usually do not take action unless the accused responds to it (unless it is a serious issue). They can keep the thread open if it is a big deal, but since no-one did, one can think that it was not.

For the reply that you added, I've restored it in a collapsed section, for record's sake.

If you want to start a new thread/topic on ANI, you could, however I wouldn't recommend it. Instead, I would suggest following the process of

dispute resolution

, and ask for additional outside opinions (not from an administrator's noticeboard, these are primarily for instances involving administrators, or requiring intervention from them).

Administrative discussions are automatically

revert

their changes, and often the archive is protected to prevent abuse. To clarify, what you did was not abusive. It was just a mistake, and that is OK.

To conclude:

1. When a discussion is archived, it is not meant to be discussed further. It is essentially closed, unless one un-archives it. (Such action is probably unnecessary in this case).
2. To resolve the current issue, you should continue discussing on the talk page. If you feel this is not working, you may follow the
   dispute resolution process
   .

If you need further help, let me know, otherwise, you can ask at the

teahouse, or just use {{help me}} followed by your question. Cheers -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 00:15, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply

There are

warning templates that are used to warn editors about the nature of their edits. There are four levels, representing the nature and repetition of the offense. Users are usually blocked after repeating their action after a level 4 warning. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 00:18, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply
