August 2015

Hello, I'm Lord Laitinen. I noticed that you made a change to an article, John Steel (drummer), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Lord Laitinen (talk) 04:54, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft pick numbers

Most haven’t been announced. If you are adding a number (like you did to Robert Williams (basketball), please copy and link in the edit summary box the link to the source where you got that this would be the players’number With the team that drafted them less than 24 hours ago. Otherwise, it will be removed until announced by the team. Rikster2 (talk) 18:51, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Player's jersey number

When adding a jersey number to player's infobox, please provide a reliable source for that in the edit summary. In addition, do not add speculative jersey numbers when there is no reliable source. Just because "Player X" wore #9 jersey in the previous team, that does not mean that he will retain the same number in the new team. – Sabbatino (talk) 15:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2018–19 NBA season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Elfrid Payton (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.)

2022 retiremnents

why did you undo my changes the way i had it looked more organized also why did you undo the entire edit i think it looks better with saying exaple guy is running for senate in fake state as oppesed to just saying running for senate Cookiemonstericecream (talk) 17:28, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Literally every other House election page has retirements listed in alphabetical order by state, then numerical order by district. I understand the intent but there is an established organizing system. Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 18:46, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

oh okay thank you but why then does it not say "from fakestate" is that because of the system too? Cookiemonstericecream (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2022 Iowa Filings

Hi! I've been looking at the PDF that Iowa's SOS is providing for primary election candidates, but when I open the filing PDF, all I get/see is a one-page message saying "The Primary Election Candidate List will be available when candidate filing begins." (I tried both following the cited link thru Wikipedia and also going thru the SOS website itself). Is it possible we're somehow seeing two different versions of the same page?

I think so. Because when I do both those ways I see Bohannan’s filing come up Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 15:23, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2021 NFL season into 2022 NFL season. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CHI/PIT Source

As two parties were involved, we typically try to use a neutral source, instead of claiming the source from only one of the parties. –uncleben85 (talk) 15:47, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be better to include both the Chicago press release and the Pittsburgh press release from the nhl site? That’s how it’s done on the NBA trade page, and I think it’s a still little ridiculous for a source from NHL.com to not be considered adequate enough for an NHL transaction Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 15:58, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally we would get one from NHL.com itself, as opposed to one of the team run sites, but they don't do releases for minor trades. Or better than ProSportsRumours, a more major secondary source like Sportsnet or TSN - it's good to include secondary sources, not just all primary sources throughout the article, anyway. I don't think we need a second source from CHI either, though, the PIT one should be fine, we just typically try to centre on neutral sources. –uncleben85 (talk) 16:11, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks for letting me know! I mostly edit US election and NBA pages, so I have a lot to learn still about how the WP:ice hockey community works. Thanks though! Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 16:15, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing and the 2024 House election page

For about a month I’ve been trying to remove disinformation on the New York section and several administrators have been making up excuses to deny reliable sources in order to pretend several incumbents aren’t actually running, including the leaders of both parties (Johnson and Jeffies). If they aren’t running, then their pictures should not be up on the top of the page. Please respond on the page’s talk page.74.64.224.198 (talk) 13:22, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Look, campaign websites and endorsements don’t qualify as campaign announcements. That’s universal across ALL US election Wikipedia pages. Besides, New York filing opens tomorrow. All of this will be fixed once candidates actually file their petitions with the proper board of elections between April 1 and April 3. Hotpotato1234567890 (talk) 13:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
