Dioxen11[edit]
FYI, you welcomed this user (with a welcome message of "Thank you for your contributions") after they were warned for the only edit they had. Perhaps you need to slow down. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 22:03, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- I dream of horses Thanks for the message. I saw that warning from Materialscientist and I thought that Dioxen11 could use the welcome/guide to find the teahouse. Dioxen11's edit was not vandalism, and Dioxen11 appeared to be an editor who needed guidance. They were never welcomed and Materialscientist advised them that they needed to

. I hope that helps explain. Bruxton (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)- I dream of horses I received your welcome when I started editing. It was helpful and I made use of the Teahouse. So my idea in handing out the welcome was if someone is fumbling around or getting reverted maybe they just need help or direction. I just wanted to say I got the message about me handing out the welcome template. I will slow it down or stop altogether. Have a great week. Bruxton (talk) 22:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's probably better to give more individualized help in this instance rather than giving out a welcome template. Templating doesn't always make sense. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:07, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- @I dream of horses: I appreciate the advice. Bruxton (talk) 23:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Tragedy by the Sea[edit]
On 13 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tragedy by the Sea, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Tragedy by the Sea (pictured) shows a man and a woman standing beside the ocean a few minutes after the couple's young son went missing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tragedy by the Sea. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tragedy by the Sea), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for a moving story! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks, I was so struck by the image and loss. I can see that kind of tragedy sells as it got close to 42,000 views. Bruxton (talk) 15:03, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Don't bite the newbies :)[edit]
Hi, Bruxton! I noticed you draftified the Latvia (1918-1940) article six minutes after it had been created by a user with fewer than 30 edits. I wanted to send you a friendly reminder that as part of NPP, we should "wait at least an hour before nominating an article for deletion, blank-and-redirecting it, or moving it to draftspace" unless the article is attack page, has a severe copyright violation, or is blatant vandalism (see WP:NPPHOUR). Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:06, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. I checked their talk page and the fact that they had 22 total edits. All three of their article starts were sent to draft. It seemed prudent to have them work on this one in draft space. I understand the concern though. Bruxton (talk) 03:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Significa liberdade: forgot to ping. Bruxton (talk) 03:19, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
