Recent edits to Grant Hochstein

[edit]

I noticed you have been recently editing the Wikipedia page on Grant Hochstein. Some of your table edits have been factually incorrect (e.g., reverting his 2017 Rostelecom Cup placement to "TBD" after I already updated it) and distorting the "Competitive highlights" section (e.g., putting incorrect column sizes for his junior career). I am not sure why you are doing this, but if you need help or can clarify why you are doing this, please leave a comment here before editing again. I do not want to have to continually revert your edits.

Additionally, I believe you have been trying to add a "Detailed results" section for the page, but you have been using a table from another source (likely from a Russian figure skater, as some of the entries indicate Russian nationals instead of U.S. nationals). It is fine to go to other pages and refer to them for templates, but please do not drag-and-drop all the irrelevant information and edit each entry one-by-one. If you want to add a "Detailed results" section, please do so after experimenting on your userpage's sandbox. You can save and make edits on your sandbox until all the information is correct and applicable to a given skater. Personally, I have not been keen on making a "Detailed results" section for Grant Hochstein as he has not won any major international medals.

I hope this feedback was helpful. If you have any questions or want clarification on anything, leave a comment.

Again, I noticed you've been editing the page on Grant Hochstein and have made some incorrect edits, again, on the "Competitive highlights" section. I'm not sure why you are altering the junior results table, nor do I know why you have changed his Rostelecom Cup result back to "TBD" even though the event has already passed. I will be reverting your edits soon, but in the future: 1. Avoid incorrect edits; 2. Try to avoid successive edits (i.e., editing multiple times in a row), as it makes fixing things easier should they go awry; 3. Leave an edit summary with everything, even if it's a minor thing; 4. Make tables consistent in their date format, since it appears your "Detailed results" have just been pulled from random skater pages without editing for consistency.
Don't be afraid to leave a comment if you need help. But again, I do not want to have to continually revert your edits.

Additionally, only one line break before/after new sections. Multiple line breaks make noticeable gaps that should not exist on pages. If you check the revision history of pages you have been editing, you can see the issues I have rectified from your edits (and again, please leave an edit summary for most everything you do).
Can you please at least comment here to acknowledge that you are aware of certain editing practices/tips? I know you are trying to help, but it is not helpful for others to have to monitor your edits after making the same repeated mistakes.

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm BeywheelzLetItRip. I noticed that you recently removed content from Michal Březina without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —Bey WHEELZ Let It RIP! 01:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notes on editing figure skating articles

[edit]

I wanted to leave you a few notes about editing Wikipedia articles related to figure skating. I have heavily edited these articles for a few years and primarily update tables/scores, which you seem to be attempting to do. However, you have been making multiple and repeated errors that need to be addressed, and it has become tedious for me to rectify/undo your mistakes:

1. Personal bests are listed on each skater's official ISU page. Just because a competition is international doesn't mean it qualifies toward a skater's personal bests, which you tried to do with the free skate score of Richard Dornbush.

2. I already said this in a previous comment, but I'm not keen on adding a "Detailed results" section for skaters who haven't medaled at major international competitions (e.g., Olympics, Worlds, Europeans/Four Continents, and the Grand Prix Final). There are already a sizable number of pages with "Detailed results" sections that are worth maintining and take a decent amount of time to upkeep; trying to maintain a scores section for not-medaled skaters seems a bit superfluous, and the already-useful "Competitive highlights" table normally suffices for these skaters.

3. General formatting/editing tips that I've already mentioned that you continue to not do: avoid successive editing and try to use your sandbox before importing larger edits; only use single line breaks before and after sections; be consistent with date formatting in tables; leave an edit summary with all your edits.

I would like to maintain these pages without unnecesary revisions, but you have been making it difficult to do so. I am sure you are only trying to help, but your edits are getting to the point of disruptive editing, as it is not helpful to have to monitor your edits after making the same repeated mistakes. Please leave a comment here or at my usertalk (linked next to my signature) before doing further edits, so I can at least have acknowledgement you are receiving this feedback.

November 2017

[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Michal Březina, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. —usernamekiran(talk) 02:52, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sean Rabbitt has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
