Hi, I have just joined wikipedia and I was interested in making a couple of edits. I am not linked with Oscar248. I have an interest in athletics, so I am keen to expand the coverage of athletics on Wikipedia to represent the sport more comprehensively. Ambrose2015 (talk) 00:53, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, well then it would be great if you could explain how and why as a brand new editor the first two things you did were make your way to an Administrator's noticeboard and a Deletion discussion to advocate for Oscar248. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 00:58, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking through the categories linked with athletes and I came across Alex Gurteen's page and found he subject of the article created that article. I was intrigued by his bizzare 'third person' edits and saw Oscar248 was messing about with WP:NAFD so I decided to create an account and warn him about his actions.

I noticed only three reverts were made, not four, so Oscar248 should not have been on the administration noticeboard. Additionally, I believed that the Alex Gurteen page was notable due to the reliable power of 10 source backing up his running races. As a runner myself, I know that the league he one is fairly competitive. This is why I believe the page should be kept. I appreciate more sources are needed for verification.

Yeah, sorry, but that's really not very believable. You might want to read WP:DUCK. I'd suggest as a brand new editor you would be better off spending your time improving existing articles to familiarise yourself with wikipedia's policies and style, rather than backing up an obscure, non-notable, and self-promoting editor. I guess we'll see ... Cheers, Melcous (talk) 01:26, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to improve wikipedia by expanding coverage of athletes (a subject which i am strongly interested in). I do not appreciate being branded not only a sock puppet, but a timewaster as well, just after joining wikipedia. I do not think Alex Gurteen should be editing his own article, which is why i am prepared to step in and add some more sources. Ambrose Arnold.

Yet fetched up not at a well known or well traversed page (Such as Usain Bolt) but at an obscure AFD. It is hard to see how you could have just stumbled across this if you were looking at athletics.Slatersteven (talk) 13:34, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not Oscar248 nor do I know Oscar248 personally. Ambrose2015 (talk) 10:40, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Based on the timing of your arrival and your editing pattern, it seems extremely unlikey that you are not a sockpuppet or meatpuppet of Oscar248. Number 57 13:00, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
