Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2019–20 Blackpool F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Howard (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:50, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

2019–20 Reading F.C. season Edits

Hi there, I understand the removal of previous team from trialists, but not the removal of column for released players new teams, as this is relevant information. --Dave logic (talk) 07:39, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Infobox heading

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:40, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I think you might be misinterpreting what the MoS requires.

The MoS says specifically "If a person is known by a nickname used in lieu of or in addition to a given name, and it is not a common hypocorism of one of their names, or a professional alias, it is usually presented between double quotation marks following the last given name or initial" (my highlighting). Joe Lane's given names are James Charles, so the nickname Joe isn't a hypocorism of either of his given names; if one of his names was Joseph, as at Charles Joseph John Hart, the Joe wouldn't appear.

If you think it's me that's wrong, please could you explain why, and perhaps we could get further opinions if necessary. Thanks, Struway2 (talk) 09:49, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

That makes sense. What should happen at, say, Ted MacDougall though? Not everyone knows that Ted is an hypocorism of Edward. - Seasider53 (talk) 11:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Footnote d at MOS:NICKNAME refers to Hypocorism#English, and advises treating anything listed there in the first two subsections, "Shortening, often to the first syllable" and "Addition of a diminutive suffix" as likely common hypocorisms, but the third subsection, "A short form that differs significantly from the name", as likely not common. However... Ted appears in both "shortening" and "differs significantly" subsections, which implies that it comes down to common sense/personal opinion: if you think Ted would be widely recognised by English speakers as a common hypocorism of Edward, then treat it as such. Some of the names listed there I've never even come across, let alone recognise as a common shortening of anything. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Griestal-Strauße, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Zeughauskeller moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Zeughauskeller, does not have enough reliable sources and citations as written to remain published. Travel guides are not reliable sources for establishing notability. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Released players

Players will not be released until their contract ends on 30 June. They remain with their clubs until that date. GiantSnowman 16:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Please also note that, as far as squad templates are concerned, players retain their squad numbers until such time as new numbers are announced. That is the way we have always done it. GiantSnowman 16:51, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi - just a note to kind of apologise for doing this. I see you're having a number of articles nominated for deletion above - I'm sorry to be doing it to you again, I can't imagine it's much fun. I hope that folk are able to dig up some sources that would establish notability, and will happily withdraw if they are able to. If you ever want to have a chat about notability, sourcing, or what a reviewer is looking for when they come across a new article, drop me a note.

Orphaned non-free image File:Wolfe's Neck Center.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Wolfe's Neck Center.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:38, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Rangers F.C. badge

Hi mate.

Wanted to thank you for uploading the new version of the Rangers badge.

Just wanted to ask if you could make a couple of adjustments.

It needs a version uploaded without the blue box border if possible.

And it needs a nfr rationale for the main page but also the Rangers F.C. Under 20's and Academy page and the Rangers W.F.C. page.

Sorry to ask this as I appreciate your hard work. I'm useless at image uploading etc.

Redundant?

Hey there. I noticed that you reverted my edit on COVID-19, due to the term "close" being redundant. What is redundant about it: it is usually acquired in closed proximity. I Binged it so that I know the meaning of "redundant": it is "not or no longer needed or useful; superfluous." What is superfluous about the term "close"? Also, if that needs to be erased, then you should erase footnote A. Can you please clarify? Thanks, from GeraldWL 14:54, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

August 2020

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please read this carefully:

The community has allowed the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a set of rules designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. In these areas, administrators can impose sanctions for edits which violate the purpose of Wikipedia, our conduct rules, or our policies. Sanctions may include editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned if he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This message is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in a topic area in which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in this topic area, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. If you have any questions, please contact me or another editor.

When your bold change of "in close proximity" (a term of art) to "in proximity" was reverted, your next step should be to go to the article talk page and discuss it. Instead you decided to edit-war your preferred version back into the article. That is not acceptable conduct on an article subject to general sanctions. Please take this opportunity to self-revert your second edit and engage in discussion. Failure to do so will leave you open to sanctions. --RexxS (talk) 20:42, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Information icon Hi Seasider53! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. RexxS (talk) 20:46, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

🙄 Seasider53 (talk) 21:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Please pay heed to this. I've just reverted your removal of newly added sourced material to the Edinburgh article as you incorrectly marked it as a minor edit and gave no explanation for your action in the edit summary. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:29, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Okay, will do. - Seasider53 (talk) 11:34, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
1. reversion of unxeplained, unsourced alteration, which at least that editor didn't mark as minor and I gave an edit summary giving the benefit of the doubt re their GF. 2 IP sockpuppet of persistent, warring, banned user 3. ditto 2.
None of my edits spuriously marked as minor.
Do not come the smart individual. Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:57, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Despite promising, you are persisting with incorrectly marking non-minor edits as minor. Was the promise as disingenuous as it might have appeared? Why are you doing this? It's not as if you don't know now. People may think you are trying to avoid scrutiny on significant changes. Have you actually followed the links to see what count as minor edits? If in doubt, do not mark as minor. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:22, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
I might add that, aside from the edit at Edinburgh I had no dispute with the edits themselves, just the marking of them as minor. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:04, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
Please take this seriously. I am within an inch of blocking you for disruptive editing. You may only mark an edit as 'minor' if it could never be the subject of a dispute. Adding an infobox has been the subject of continual dispute for years and has resulted in two ArbCom cases. I don't disagree with any of your edits, but you must make them available for review by other editors by not marking them as minor. --RexxS (talk) 19:09, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Ways to improve William Fraser (architect)

Hello, Seasider53,

Thank you for creating William Fraser (architect).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Find A Grave is not considered to be a reliable source so the article needs other references from reliable sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

John B123 (talk) 16:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Notice

The article William Fraser (architect) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article appears to have been copied and pasted without attribution from Draft:William Fraser (architect). See also the comments of the reviewer of the draft expressing concerns about copying.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. If there is a problem with William Fraser, architect, can I help sort it out, since I wrote the original draft? Prior to your involvement, I had talks with a couple of other editors, which I thought had been adequately addressed. Most recently (earlier this week), Calliopejen1 told me that William Fraser "qualifies for an article" and asked me to address issues raised by Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which I thought I had done sufficiently. I believe you did most of the next stage of editing on the page and when I saw yesterday that the page had gone live I was thrilled and thought you had done a sterling job of editing it. If there is anything I can do to address Robert's concerns and save the article from being deleted, I would be more than happy to assist in that. Please advise. Thank you, and all the best.Ian.fraser1 (talk) 20:54, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Template:Blackpool F.C. squad

Please do not remove squad numbers or organise by position; the old squad numbers remain valid for our purposes until the new ones are announced. GiantSnowman 16:18, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

I note that this series of changes were all marked as minor, despite being repeatedly notified not to do this unless it is appropriate. If you are somehow struggling to understand WP:MINOR, please play safe and do not mark any of your edits so. Some editors have preferences set that minor edits not be listed in their watchlist, so, as another editor warned you above, to incorrectly mark edits as minor may appear to be an attempt to avoid scrutiny. There are numerous instances above of the questioning of edits that you have made, which is not necessarily a problem, but should reinforce to you that your edit was not minor.
