Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Remove link from Cruz article

The link was to his profile on the Olympic site. That would seem appropriate 75.111.110.224 (talk) 04:16, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Replied on talk page, since user as an IP user and wouldn't receive the ping. Zerbu 💬 04:20, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Please don't perform non-admin closures as speedy delete

At Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Erlo1783. According to WP:NACD: "Non-administrators should limit their closes to outcomes they have the technical ability to implement; for example, non-admins should not close a discussion as delete, because only admins can delete pages." That means speedy delete is not an option available for non-admin to conclude. I should add that closing such a formal process with such little participation a mere five hours after request is also improper according to policy. By so incorrectly closing you prevented others from participating during what would normally be a 168-hour process. For these reasons I suggest you avoid performing non-admin closes in the near future. If I can be of any assistance, please call on me. BusterD (talk) 09:49, 23 February 2023 (UTC) "

@BusterD Sorry, I won't do that again. I assumed closing would be proper since the page had already been speedy deleted, but the discussion wasn't closed. Zerbu 💬 13:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
I'm sorry. I failed to see something significant. The admin's speedy preceded your close. I apologize, you have done nothing incorrect. BusterD (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
No worries! If something like that happens again, I'll explain in the rationale that the page is already deleted. Zerbu 💬 20:40, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Linking the activity or sysop acting is always useful. Saw an unrelated but insightful comment from you this morning. Very much appreciate your WP:BOLD style. Don't be shy if I can be of service. BusterD (talk) 23:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
