I've started a new section at the existing noticeboard discussion, to discuss whether your autopatrolled right should be revoked: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Autopatrolled. I encourage you to post there (and if you wish in the existing discussion of which you were notified above by Fram, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Joe Roe) on the issues raised.

Autopatrolled user right revoked

Hello. I'm afraid I had to revoke your autopatrol perm per concerns from multiple users. See my note here (permalink). Thank you. El_C 16:11, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I read that you feel low, and even like leaving us. Please reconsider. I don't look at ANI if I can avoid it, and perhaps do the same. If you didn't know enough about sources and copyright so far, perhaps learn it? I suggest create articles in draft space - just place Draft: before the article name - and have someone look at them, until you feel secure again? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you, I will think about it. Moondragon21 (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

I've long realized that even a minor sanction, like a brief p-block or a single perm revocation, often causes a fair bit of distress to the recipient. A thing which took me a while to become cognizant of, maybe since I've never been subject to it myself. A problem, however, arises when a perm issue gets raised by multiple parties, but remain without a response by the holder of said perm —even if only to provide a brief note of an intent to respond at some point— all while they continue editing, is that there no way for anyone to tell what is happening and why.

So, lacking that, uh, 'omniscience,' the appearance is that these aforementioned concerns are being willfully ignored. Even if the underlying reasons are in reality more nuanced. But I'd posit that re-gaining this perm back should not be a Herculean task. Identifying areas of improvement, alongside a decent AfC record (which need not happen instantly), in time, ought to make it a viable undertaking.

So, I echo Gerda, as I usually do, in hoping you don't feel too discouraged, but instead try to view this minor setback as an opportunity to learn, overcome, and grow. HTH. Best wishes, El_C 17:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
