Why on earth did you relist this? Spartaz Humbug! 09:35, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ceradon!
You seem to have jumped into AfD pretty heavily in the last couple of days. Which is good! AfD could use all the attention it can with the massive amount of nominations per day. However, you seem to be trying to get involved in quasi-administrative tasks such as relisting and closing debates, which isn't so great given your inexperience. If you don't mind, I'll try to give you some pointers in the most respectful way possible, and then ask that you refrain from the admin tasks until you've built up some more solid experience at AfD by restricting yourself to !voting.
First, per WP:REDIRECT, a debate generally shouldn't be relisted more than twice without good reason and accompanied by a relisting statement (i.e. relisting to raise consensus on a redirect/merge target after rough consensus is established to do so, or because an editor has recently found a bunch of new sources on the subject.) A discussion with little-to-no discussion after two relistings should generally be closed as no consensus with no prejudice against speedy renomination; this is to keep AfD from getting bogged-down with low-traffic month-old discussions. You should also not !vote on AfDs that you either have relisted or will relist. As you are WP:INVOLVED in the debate, you are no longer a neutral party and therefore incapable of carrying out a relist without introducing bias. Although this should go without saying, this should especially apply to closing debates (even though you technically didn't execute the deletion, you are still involved and should let a completely uninvolved party complete the process.) Per WP:BADNAC, Non-admin closure is not appropriate in any of the following situations: (1) The non-admin has demonstrated a potential conflict of interest, or lack of impartiality, by having expressed an opinion in the discussion or being otherwise involved, with the exception of closing their own withdrawn nomination as a speedy keep when all other viewpoints expressed were for keep as well.
On a related note, you should generally not try to close AfDs unless an obvious consensus has been achieved and you have the technical ability to do so yourself, meaning closing as delete. (The latter is currently being debated but still very contentious.) An administrator closing discussions is a matter of judgement about a rough consensus in the discussion. As a non-admin, you don't have that trust vested in you by the community; thus, you shouldn't make any closures where judgement and evaluation of consensus is required. Per WP:NAD, Extra care should be taken if a closure may be controversial or not clearly unambiguous. With the understanding that the closure may be reversed, non-admins should generally avoid closing such discussions.
Finally, and I mean this respectfully, you just don't have the experience at AfD to be able to close discussions knowledgeably. For example, you don't seem to entirely understand the requirements to speedy keep, including your own nominations. Of your twelve delete !votes on closed discussions, only half of them closed as such. All of these things, combined with your lack of understanding of closing guidelines, illustrates that you are new to AfD, and inexperienced.
None of these are bad things! The only way to gain experience at AfD is to !vote at AfD and view plenty of deletion discussions. However, I really hope you agree that relisting and closing discussions isn't for you yet. I'm not trying to condescend whatsoever, but those are roles that are better left to admins and experienced AfD editors. I really hope you stick around AfD, but your best area of productivity right now would be in participating in discussions, not maintaining and closing them.
Please read the pages I've linked you, and let me know if you have any questions. Best,

Cerabot appears to have made an error detecting the creator of an article that was subsequently renamed. Details. Mitch Ames ( talk) 12:34, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Cerabot presumed that I created Floyd Smith (doctor), while I just moved it. The creator is EtienneDolet.-- The Theosophist ( talk) 13:21, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Re:
It is not helpful for DYK to know who the original page creator is on a 5x expansion, since the DYK nomination only concerns the 5x expander. The original page creator is never notified of the DYK nomination, only the 5x expander. If the latter editor is blocked, the DYK reviewer will spot that pretty quickly. Yoninah ( talk) 13:26, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
Why are these notices even being made? My DYK nom was also flagged, and there is absolutely no reason to notify the person who created the article 6 years ago. Anyway, I completely rewrote the article. I'm really confused. – Maky « talk » 18:25, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is deliberate, but the bot notified me as a page creator despite the fact that I just moved the page- the article had existed for a while at a title with alternative capitalisation (as is now common in bird articles). J Milburn ( talk) 18:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
On Template:Did you know nominations/Dr. Floyd Smith, the was not created by The Theosophist, it was merely moved to a new name [1]. Can I remove that comment? Étienne Dolet ( talk) 20:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I don't want to start any sort of argument with you, and of course you are correct that there are many possible factors for them not contributing any further. But I would just like to clarify a point in case we come across each other again. I said that I thought the swearing was unnecessary "in the circumstances". I know that wikipedia is not censored, and I am ceratinly not troubled by swearing myself. I just thought it was a bit unwarranted towards a new user.
Now, if you had told someone to "fuck off" after they stuck their nose into an issue that was already a couple of weeks cold, I would totally support you on that. :)
Finally, I hope that you can see the amusement in this happening on a page concerning a television show called "Total Drama".

Hey Ceradon! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers
I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/
Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Thank you for your review. We made corrections based on the feedback of the first reviewer by adding several more secondary reliable sources to the manuscript. We were disappointed to now get different reasons for a rejection, even though we made merely minimal changes to the text between the first and second submission. Can you be more specific what you mean by "reads more like an advertisement" (I read the hyperlink and the NPOV)? There is no attempt to sell anything on this page, we point out the notability of Joseph Maroon based on his athletic and neurosurgical career. Joseph Maroon's name has even been published on the Wikipedia page of the National Fitness Hall of Fame, which so far is an empty link. Any specific feedback on what you find inappropriate in the language is much appreciated.

The album BridgeCity is proposed for deletion.
However, I request it be considered to remove this proposed deletion by yourself. The album has been reviewed by a professional review site ( New Release Tuesday) and its release was given coverage by a few professional music sites (like Jesus Freak Hideout). I've seen plenty of articles much worse off than this, with less coverage and sources to boot, yet they aren't being threatened.
