This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Natural World episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Atkins (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Can I ask what you think it adds to TV show articles to quote an unexplained chunk of viewing figures from 2002? If a series was a channel's most popular show in one week in 2002 then it'd be more helpful to the reader to state that in prose, although even that seems potentially trivial in isolation, as it may just have been a slow week. Coronation Street's section on viewing figures is a good example of what an encyclopedia can usefully say about viewing figures for a series, using secondary sources to help determine which aspects are worth writing about. --McGeddon (talk) 15:51, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at BBC Sport. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. –Davey2010Talk 19:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at BBC Sport shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. –Davey2010Talk 19:33, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited European Scrutiny Committee, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages JP and KSG (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

[edit]

Please stop adding unsourced and unexplained content, as you did to List of BBC newsreaders and reporters. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please do not revert correct reversions when you are not quoting sources, as required above. You have a poor record on Wikipedia, please consider improving your "contributions". Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 12:41, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of BBC Sport Team for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article BBC Sport Team is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BBC Sport Team until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. – PeeJay 21:56, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OLY post nominal

[edit]

Please refrain from adding the OLY post-nominal. This is non-standard and is POV pushing by pushing the Olympic participation and draw undue weight to that aspect of the athlete. Please do not add it again and please remove it from articles you may have added it to. Sparkle1 (talk) 16:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
