Do not be so aggressive towards newcomers like that, Marioisawesome118 has only been here for six days, with only seven edits to their userpage. Welcoming the user and recommending to contribute elsewhere to the Wiki, like the mainspace, would of been sufficient. Suggesting a protection of their userpage is far too soon (I reserve this for users who have been around for at least a month, while showing little to no effort towards contributing elsewhere, or for those who won't stop editing their userspace). | |||
Also, when warning someone about something, explain what it is they are doing wrong, and why the Wiki doesn't allow it. Simply saying "Don't do X/Do X" doesn't help a new user much, and the lack of explanation can make them see the Wiki in a negative light. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:53, 18 September 2011 (EDT) | |||
