Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!
I can't tell you how happy I am to see your datestamp
I was afraid we'd lost you. You are so worth keeping. If I can ever be of assistance, I've got your back. Knowing you're editing again has already improved my day, and I just got up... BusterD (talk) 11:09, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'd been planning to come back once school was done for the year (and now it is) wizzito | say hello! 12:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- School is never done, my young friend. I'm old and I'm learning something essential every day, often about myself. I have recently been raised to the level of honorary jewish mother so if you need any kvetching, call on me. I am told by two experts I need to work on my passive aggressive skills. So enormously gratified you made the choice to continue to work in this sometimes random and intrusive place. We want you on OUR team. BusterD (talk) 12:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Inappropriate RFPP nominations
Just recently, you nominated about half a dozen articles to RFPP, none of which qualified per WP:PROT. Not one of them had more than a half dozen edits in the past month, and many less than that. None of those qualified for protection, as protection usually needs evidence of ongoing problems (such as rapid-fire vandalism, edit-warring, or things like that). Please don't make spurious RFPP requests, as it clogs the queue and wastes admin time. Thanks. --Jayron32 12:28, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mmh, I just saw them and expected to find this section here. [1] and [2] are indeed a bit outside of the discretionary range that one of the >1000 administrators could decide to answer with protection. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

. Bbb23 (talk) 01:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)- Not meritless. The LTA edited those pages that day. I might as well leave again if I'm being treated like this. wizzito | say hello! 18:04, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Please, please, please, don't leave! casualdejekyll 22:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- Not meritless at all. BTW, petulance is a bad look. Leave or don't leave, totally on you. It will always be your decision. I won't beg you stay. If you're not willing, then you shouldn't edit. We will welcome your return. On the merits, to my reading, an admin has become alert to your numerous unfounded protection requests (my opinion), and decided the best strategy was to prevent you from requesting for now. It seems extreme, but it is a very mild measure indeed. In the May archived requests I'm reading where User:Bbb23 or User:Jayron32 declined, I would have declined as well. When warned above by Jayron32, instead of typing an apology, you might have chosen to engage with a senior editor in order to learn more and thus improve your performance. In my opinion, page protection is a broad approach, not a targeted one. Sometimes it is more efficient to track and report an offender than to play whack-a-mole on individual target pages (especially when those pages wouldn't normally qualify for PP). Maybe talk to a SPI clerk like User:Tamzin. They can help you understand how they would prefer you to deal with LTAs. Take this as a well-earned tap on your hand, learn from your mistakes, then step away from the keyboard. Sleep on it, and when you get up, ask yourself why you choose to edit Wikipedia. Take a walk, check your email, but stew on the question. Then do what you choose to do, just like every single other wikipedian. BusterD (talk) 04:42, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Wizzito, listen to BusterD. You know, some of us have been editing for many years and we still have people coming to our talk page to complain about some mistake we made. The appropriate response is to consider the complaint, think back on why you did what you did, if you made a mistake, apologize and try not to repeat it. If you think you were in the right, then explain your decision in a clear, unemotional way. If you want to devote your time to a hobby where you will never be criticized, then Wikipedia may not be for you. We all get criticized, whether you're an admin, arbitrator or newbie. It's the nature of working together with a diverse group of people. I hope you reconsider and return. Liz Read! Talk! 05:30, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
