  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kawhi Leonard, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Same applies to LeBron James and Paul George pages. – Sabbatino (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Lonzo Ball, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:SPELL09, the numbers 0–9 are generally spelled out as words. Thanks.Bagumba (talk) 09:30, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

References

edit

Hey, could you please put the references in a ref template and not just bare links. Kante4 (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

I did it for you here. Kante4 (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages

edit

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 18:59, 17 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Modifying quotes

edit

Nice addition to Shaq–Kobe feud. A minor MOS point: When modifying a quote like your edit to add "(points)", MOS:PMC says to use brackets ("[points]") and not parentheses. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 06:51, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey, my fault. I missed that part that you added it. I read it this morning and thought it was not included with your edit, but it was. Sorry for that. Kante4 (talk) 13:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Madison Iseman edit

I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Madison Iseman. Unfortunately, IMDb is not a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles. (See WP:IMDB.) Please feel free to add a date of birth if you find it published in a reliable source. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Northwest Stadium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Noah Brown. 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.)
