Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Your recent edit to the page Luke Gregerson appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:44, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Yovani Gallardo, 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. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 17:28, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Willie Gary (American football), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:32, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm UW Dawgs. Your recent edit appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Arizona Wildcats football, 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. UW Dawgs (talk) 00:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Davern Williams, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. UW Dawgs (talk) 00:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

What’s funny is everything that I changed on the Davern Williams page was accurate, and is currently how I left it with only minor, very insignificant changes. The page itself was uncited before I even made an edit, yet it’s only a problem when I specifically didn’t cite information on it, because you saw problems with previous edits I had made. It has never, nor will ever be my intention to edit any articles without the information I upload being accurate, so don’t single me out. This doesn’t have to be as big of an issue as you’re making it, so lay off. Yodel44 (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

You removed this citation to al.com from the article. Please don't disrupt Wiki by removing citations without providing a reason. Including an WP:EDITSUMMARY is also appreciated. UW Dawgs (talk) 01:00, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

& n d a s h ;

Thank you for all of your recent updates on college basketball results. However, please be sure to use – (& n d a s h ;) and not - (hyphens). I've had to come along behind you and change all the hyphens to dashes. If you don't know how to put in the dash, just type & n d a s h ; without any spaces and it will come out as –. Thank you.

Appreciate the tip, future edits will be done correctly. Yodel44 (talk) 05:16, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Ömer Aşık. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. As you were warned in the past, please do not make updates of unofficial trades based on WP:RSBREAKING news. —Bagumba (talk) 19:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

NFL Free Agency

Please stop changing the teams of players just because ESPN, your local news, or whomever is reporting it. Free Agency didn't begin until yesterday at 4pm ET, so any changes before then would not have been accurate or valid. After that time, you still need to wait for an official announcement from the team. News reports can be inaccurate and there is no rush to have the articles updated immediately. Doing so otherwise is considered a violation of our WP:BLP policy. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 14:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Logos

Hello. Please be careful when creating 2018 football season articles. You cannot use the main logo as you did in the 2018 Missouri Tigers football team and 2018 New Mexico State Aggies football team due to non-free guidelines. I have replaced them with the wordmarks used by the schools as well as the previous season articles. It is best that you just use the logo from the 2017 season articles as they are all public domain files that can be used. Thanks, Corky 20:12, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Joshua Frazier

Do not create articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative, unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Under section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy may be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The Ultimate Fighter

Hi Yodel44, Greetings to you. I have reverted your edit above. Please note that when a bout is announced in the press, it will be placed under "Announced bout" section. Once the bout is on UFC.com web site, then the info will be removed from the Announced bout section to the fight card section in Wikipedia. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 00:19, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dmitry Sosnovskiy

Hello, Yodel44. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Dmitry Sosnovskiy, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Dmitry Sosnovskiy to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

October 2018

Hello, I'm CASSIOPEIA. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, UFC 231, 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.

Dmitry Sosnovskiy moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dmitry Sosnovskiy, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 10:38, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Yodel44, As per WP:NMMA an MMA fighter needs to secure at least 3 fights under tier one (UFC/Invicta) to pass the notability requirement. At the present he has only one fight in UFC. When he has fought 3 fights in UFC then resubmit the page for review and we the reviewer will move to Wikipedia main space. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 10:42, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Dmitry Sosnovskiy

Hello, Yodel44. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Dmitry Sosnovskiy".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 19:54, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
