Draft articles
Hello, Nythar,
You are a new but, apparently, very active editor. I'd like to ask you to give more leeway to articles created in Draft space. Please do not be eager to tag them for deletion unless there are major issues like copyright violations or BLP-violating content. Draft space is an area where we give editors, especially editors new to content creation, more space to create and develop articles as they learn about Wikipedia standards and policies. Issues that would cause a page in main space to be tagged for speedy deletion are tolerated in Draft space.
If you are doing page patrolling, it's much more important to find mistakes and errors in main space articles than examining drafts which are likely to have mistakes until they are receive AFC approval. It also can be very discouraging for new editors to try to create an article in Draft space only to find it tagged for deletion. Thank you for understanding. Liz Read! Talk! 02:57, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

User talk warnings and undoing edits
Hi User:Nythar! Before putting a warning on a user talk page, try to check if it was your undo/rollback that got through. I undid an edit by the user AkshayKrishnang, but you were the one to put a warning on his talk page: User_talk:AkshayKrishnang. It's not a huge deal, but it can be confusing for the User getting warned. Thanks! --Kvoou (talk) 08:45, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Kvoou: Thanks. The anti-vandalism tool RedWarn is confusing sometimes. Nythar (talk) 08:48, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
Removing thread from talk pages
To Nythar: You have removed threads from several talk pages. This goes against Wikipedia policies (see WP:TPO). I have restored some of them. Please stop, and self-revert the inappropriate deletions that I have omitted. D.Lazard (talk) 04:44, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- @D.Lazard: What "deletions" are you referring to? Those were archived. See Help:Archiving a talk page. And why are you returning threads from 2013? Nythar (talk) 07:06, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
- To Nythar: In your edit summaries, there is no indication that these are moves, nor any indication on the new place of the threads that you have removed from the talk pages. In other words, what you did has exactly the same effect as a deletion, since an archive that cannot be consulted is not an archive. Also, it may exist wikilinks to the removed threads, and you action makes them deadlinks. Please, read Help:Archiving (plain and simple) and WP:ARCHIVE, and fix your edits accordingly.

- @D.Lazard: One of my edit summaries on Talk:Point (geometry) says Removed 2 threads to Talk:Point_(geometry)/Archive 1. Also, what does "what you did has exactly the same effect as a deletion, since an archive that cannot be consulted is not an archive" mean? I added an archive box. Please clarify.
