Jerome Brown's son

I can't find a source that says that this Dee Brown is Jerome's son. I don't think it would make sense that Jerome Brown had Dee when he was 13 years old. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is his son (born 1982). Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd think there'd be more citations, but the one from the Washington Nationals seems to support it. He would not have been 13 (born 1965), but young (about 18). MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 23:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, this Dee Brown was born in 1978 and Jerome would have been 13 years old. This Dee Brown (his son) was born in 1982, so Jerome would be 17. Please do not undo my edit until the issue is resolved here. Eagles 24/7 (C) 02:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. This seems to be him (and might be helpful): http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070318&content_id=1849584&vkey=spt2007news&fext=.jsp&c_id=was

Looked into this. There is no Wikipedia article on him. He plays outfield for the Winnipeg Goldeyes. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 17:15, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:51, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA reassessment of Bruce Hornsby

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns which you can see at Talk:Bruce Hornsby/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miami baseball

You do not need to add to the lead of every college baseball player from Miami that they played there. See WP:UNDUE. — KV5 • Talk • 18:43, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sentence fragments (including in image captions) do not end with periods. — KV5 • Talk • 19:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've fixed that in those places--and others. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 02:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Username concern

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (MiamiDolphins3) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it uses the name or URL of a company, group or product. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:53, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a username issue. Should I be blocked, too? Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:24, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created it before that policy existed, and I do not edit the Miami Dolphins page, so there is no conflict. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 00:05, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks, didn't realize that Sports teams are widely used by fans as user names. Sorry! --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UAA discussion confirmed username was not a problem. category of reported usernames removed.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited List of University of Miami alumni, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Texas Rangers (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.

College football team links in infoboxes for NFL players

Greetings, MD3. I have just reverted several of your recent edits to the infoboxes for several former Miami Hurricanes football players. Per the consensus of WP:NFL and the standard formatting for Infobox NFL player, we uniformly link to the player's college football team, not his university, in the infobox. Please feel free to link (once) to the player's university and college football team in the lead or main body text of the article. Thanks for understanding.

Photo Removal at Iron Arrow Honor Society & List of University of Miami alumni

Hi. I've reverted edits that you made, which removed photos on these 2 articles. Each of the photos you removed were of Miami alumni who were relevant to the categories listed. Can you please explain your rationale for removing them? You haven't offered an explanation and I'm sure you must have your reasons. I log-in even less than you do, so can I ask that you please hold off on reverting again until you review my comments on the UM alum talk page and I've had a chance to review your answer and respond there/here. Thanks. X4n6 (talk) 07:06, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I actually did offer detailed explanations on both edits. First, on the alumni page, you removed the photos, which fit the page and had been developed by multiple editors over years. The new page structure includes photos that do not really fit the page well, do not add to the look and feel of it, and are arbitrary. The other page is so small and already includes a photo reflecting that group that photos of individual members seem misplaced and are not really adding any value to an understanding of that organization. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 17:50, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Miami alumni article, please see my responses on the Talk page. Regarding your deletion of photos on the Iron Arrow page, those photos are illustrative of notable members. As such, they add significant value to the article. WP's style guide notes that: "Images are an important part of any article's presentation." In this instance, they illustrate that notable people belong to this comparatively little known organization. See WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE. X4n6 (talk) 22:16, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michigan Cyber Range, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Virtual server. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great catch. I've fixed it. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest, disclosure required

Hello, MiamiDolphins3. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mile2, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Help with Hansjörg Wyss?

Hi MiamiDolphins3! I'm hoping to make some changes to an article on a particular businessman, Hansjörg Wyss, and I'm looking for editors who might want to discuss my proposed edits. I found you while searching through WP:BIOG and thought Wyss might match your listed interests. Would you be willing to check out my note and let me know what you think? I should also note that I have a COI (disclosed on the article Talk page) and won't make any edits myself. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 17:34, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on this, it's come to my attention that you may have a conflict of interest of your own, so I think it might be best if I seek help elsewhere. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 13:03, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no conflicts. MiamiDolphins3 (talk)

Your Edits at List of University of Miami alumni

Hello MD3,

I am concerned with your wholesale removal of the new photos I've added to this article, especially in some cases, where your explanation is simply factually inaccurate, like saying Sylvester Stallone is not a graduate of the university, when in fact, he is. You and I have discussed the criteria for including photos on this page before. Please see the article's talk page and review the comments there to refresh your memory. The policies have not changed. I will be restoring all those photos, under the good faith understanding that you were simply mistaken about policies. Thanks. X4n6 (talk) 03:40, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

However, I will leave your alphabetization of all the photos in tact. That was a very good idea! Thanks again. X4n6 (talk) 03:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of University of Miami alumni

Hi MiamiDolphins3,

Many thanks for all the great work you've done on this article for a very long time. But I do have a concern about your recent edits removing all law school alumni. In my view, this is a mistake. The article doesn't say it's a list of prominent undergraduate alumni; and whether it's the law, med, engineering, grad schools, etc., all are graduates of a school of the University. So I believe we're going down the wrong road with this approach. See? Thanks. X4n6 (talk) 06:50, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's linked directly from the university page and the law school and med schools have separate pages. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 15:33, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. Not sure what you meant by it being linked directly from the university page. What is and where? Also, it's true the law and med schools have separate pages, but I think that misses the point. Alums of each school are still alums of the university. The university itself certainly takes that view, as you can see here. Therefore there's no reason why they can't be listed in both places here. X4n6 (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at a few alumni pages, and you appear correct. I'm going to restore the law and medical school alumni I originally removed. MiamiDolphins3 (talk) 18:34, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review and for restoring those entries. Also thanks again for all your solid work on the article. X4n6 (talk) 13:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
