Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, DarthOdious2002, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Seagull123! You might think that Wikipedia is near completion and doesn't need your help, but that's not true! Wikipedia may seem to be running smoothly on the surface, but we still have many backlogs and problems that need attention, and I would like to thank you so much for helping out. Here are some pages to guide you!

Wikipedia requires editors who can perform different roles - what would you like to do?

 Y Would you like to help to correct the spelling and grammar of some pages? Here's a list of articles you can copyedit! Here's a guide of how to do that.
 Y Would you like to update and increase the accuracy of some of our pages? Here's a list of outdated articles! Remember to cite your sources (This is a helpful guide to get you started).
 Y Would you like to help make Wikipedia better by fighting vandalism? You can and it's very appreciated! Here's a quick and simple guide!
 Y Are you a writer and would like to lengthen a few of our existing articles? This is a list of short articles.
 Y Would like to improve one of our articles in a specific topic and interest? Choose a WikiProject to join here!
 N Are you a company owner, employee, person, or writer paid to promote pages about you/your client's page or company? Please note that we are not a means of self-promotion. See our guidelines on autobiographies, notability and conflict of interest.

I still need more help!

  This wiki markup thing is too confusing to me! Don't fret, we have a user-friendly text editor known as VisualEditor. Simply click here, scroll down, tick the check box next to VisualEditor, and click save. If you need help, check out these ways:

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mark Noble. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

edit

  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Dimitri Payet. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Robbie Cowling

edit
 

The article Robbie Cowling has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Photographs of Robbie Cowling

edit

Although we don't normally solicit photographs here on WP there is a chance that you can get one from Robbie now that he has a WP article about himself. He appears to be very computer literate and will understand why we need a 'free' image of himself in order that we can add it to the article (providing he likes having an article about himself). As he doesn’t appear publicity shy, he 'may' welcome having his hansome mug-shot (of his choosing) added to the article. Being computer literate he should be able to email in a OTRS and upload an image or two... without braking out in a sweat. My thinking is, that should you email this request to Colchester United F.C. They will be be willing to run this idea past him as they too have an article. It will raise both their public profiles. Let me know if you follow this idea up.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mike Ashley (businessman), you may be blocked from editing. Govvy (talk) 19:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Mike Ashley (businessman), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Govvy (talk) 19:48, 3 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Robbie Cowling

edit
 

The article Robbie Cowling has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no apparent notability -- a borderline notable company and a 4th level football team is not justification for an article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Shamal George article, but I have found one and added it for you. Please try and remember to include sources yourself with future edits. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 11:36, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Released players

edit

In the English system, contracts end on 30 June (so players leave clubs on that date) and begin on 1 July (so players join new clubs on that date). Please wait until those dates before editing. GiantSnowman 07:27, 14 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited You Should See Me in a Crown, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Agatha All Along. 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.)
