==Concern regarding ]==
] Hello, Middle 8. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that ], a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months ], so if you wish to retain the page, please ] again&#32;or ] that it be moved to your userspace.


If the page has already been deleted, you can ] so you can continue working on it.
==COI==
I know you assert you have no COI, but that is troublesome view. Your livelihood depends at least in part on the acceptance of acupuncture, so adding content to the article which gives the appearance of validity is absolutely a conflict of interest. You have a vested interest in the content of the article, in a way a medical doctor would not. A doctor generally has no especial interest in whether treatment A or treatment B works, as long as she can choose either, so has no direct dependence on the validity of treatment A when writing about it. A provider of any specific alt-med treatment, by contrast, absolutely does have a vested financial interest in the content of the article. <b>]</b> <small>(])</small> 10:43, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Middle 8. It has been over six months since you last edited the ] submission or ] page you started, "]".
== Hatting ==


In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia ], the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can ]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Hatting your own content and then adding comments before the hat is disingenuous. It makes it look like I commented after your final comment. Do not do that again.] (]) 04:40, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
:@ ]: You're referring to . I certainly didn't mean to imply that you commented after my final comment. Nor, FWIW, did I believe I was collapsing the text over anyone's objections, since I was changing my mind and conceding your point. No disingenuousness intended whatsoever -- I do not play such games -- just trying to thread it readably (and I thought the dates and my comment being right at the top of the collapsed section made it obvious). Anyway, more than fine to put the comment in chron order. You're also of course free to de-collapse it as well, although I don't think it adds anything useful to the page at all. I regret my role in this mini-drama, and again, my edit wasn't meant to cast your edits in a bad light at all, and I hope nobody took them that way.


Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. <!-- Template:Db-draft-deleted --><!-- Template:Db-csd-deleted-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">] ]</sup> 04:33, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
:While on the subject of article talk: Several of your comments go too far in ] (e.g., , ), which, like our little side discussion, isn't generally helpful, especially on article talk. Making too big a deal of one's objections to another editor's edits, and trying to spin that into a general narrative that they're a bad editor, is an old game (], #1), and while sometimes effective is likely to be seen through and can boomerang on the accuser. Plus it's just low class. My point is that some of your comments, whether you mean them that way or not (I take no position on that, at this time), could be taken that way, so, word to the wise.
:Fine by me, ]. FWIW, although I created the article, it was not as a draft (I think it might've been a redirect ]). It was significantly changed by other editors, thereby bringing about the current situation. They're the ones who would benefit from the above message, FWIW -- it does no good here (but no harm either, of course; no worries). Kudos for helping maintain WP, and happy editing! --] <small>(])] • ]</small> 08:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

  • If you leave a message here, I will reply here unless you state a different preference or ping me. Likewise, if I comment on your page, I'd just as soon keep the thread there, if you're OK with that. It's much easier for me to keep conversations in one place.

Concern regarding Draft:List of Better Call Saul characters

Information icon Hello, Middle 8. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:List of Better Call Saul characters, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Your draft article, Draft:List of Better Call Saul characters

Hello, Middle 8. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Better Call Saul characters".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Misplaced Pages, and happy editing. Liz 04:33, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Fine by me, Liz. FWIW, although I created the article, it was not as a draft (I think it might've been a redirect here). It was significantly changed by other editors, thereby bringing about the current situation. They're the ones who would benefit from the above message, FWIW -- it does no good here (but no harm either, of course; no worries). Kudos for helping maintain WP, and happy editing! --Middle 8 (s)talkprivacy 08:36, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
