User:Delldot/Rectangular receptacle with sand in

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I agree that you handled the Lookinhere situation poorly, so I'm very glad to see you acknowledge the errors and have learned from them! Not to be an ass and continue to harp on something you've already admitted fault with, but there were other problems with your handling of that situation you didn't mention. Why did you revert a good faith edit rather than just converting it to the cite.php format yourself? At the very least, you could just have added the ref tags around their citations. And this was a brand new user, is it really fair to expect them to understand a procedure that even gives seasoned editors trouble? heh, and their sockpuppets too. How would you approach that editor now if you had it to do over? Would you use templated messages? How about offerring to help? Also, what is your understanding of a policy or guideline about the way to cite sources? Is cite.php required? Again, I'm very glad you learned from this experience and have owned up to your mistakes.
