[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Sekyaw. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Alberto Del Rio, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Sekyaw (talk) 21:09, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cacau, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NBA trades/signings

[edit]

The reason these aren't updated until reported by the teams is that the League has to review them and sometimes they don't happen (the league rejects them, somebody fails a physical, etc). Please don't update player articles until the deal is finalized (i.e. - reported by the team(s) involved). The news' job is to report signings as they happen to get the scoop. This isn't a news site, it's an encyclopedia so having these updated immediately is less important than updating them when the results are official.

Brazilian footballers named "Filho"

[edit]

This comment concerns the addition of the {{Portuguese name}} template to articles about Brazilian footballers. I noticed this old change of yours to Saulo Ribeiro. Thanks for adding his full name, Saulo Mendonça Ribeiro Filho to the Infobox, as you picked up from the reference; that was helpful.

However, I just wanted to let you know that "Filho" literally means "son", and is used in the same way a person in an English-speaking country might use "Jr." (Junior) as a suffix after his name, to indicate that he has the same name as his father. So, his paternal family name is not "Filho", but "Ribeiro", I just wanted to let you know, because I notice you've edited a lot of articles about footballers. Going forward, if you run into more Brazilian footballer articles, if you could please take a few extra moments to check the reference, to see if the 'Filho' is a suffix meaning "Junior" or not, before adding the {{Portuguese name}} template so we don't misidentify their family name, that would be great.

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people.

Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 11:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Casper Tengstedt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Viborg. 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.)
