PETEYTHEREF

A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, PETEYTHEREF. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

March 2014

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Andrew Bynum‎‎ does not have an edit summary. Please discuss the specific edit at Talk:Andrew_Bynum#Role_with_Pacers.—Bagumba (talk) 20:24, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

The edit summary appears in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! —Bagumba (talk) 20:24, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Andrew Bynum, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 21:14, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Please wait for confirmation

The ESPN source you provided says "a source told ESPNBoston.com's Gordon Edes." That's not sufficient confirmation. That's an unconfirmed report. We're not breaking the news here. We're waiting for it to be finalized. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

It's a credible source - the day you don't think ESPN is credible is when you need to quit your day job!

Gary Kubiak verifiability

Hey, I saw your edits in pending changes. Looks like you're doing some up-to-the-minute editing with the news. As a matter of procedure I'm waiting for a solid reference before I approve it, though. I don't want to revert but somebody else more trigger-happy might, just to have a clean list. --Anon423 (talk) 21:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I approved the article since I realized it was just because of the one IP editor. Still, references please. --Anon423 (talk) 21:15, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

December 2015

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Todd Frazier, you may be blocked from editing. Cubbie15fan (talk) 17:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Todd Frazier, 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. Cubbie15fan (talk) 17:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

I hope the USA today is a good enough source for you Cubbie15fan!!!

The scope of a media publication does not matter regards to making a change. Instead, review an official team source prior to making a change, such as the team's official Twitter account or transactions page. Hope this helps to clarify things. Cubbie15fan (talk) 17:53, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

John Parry edit

I don't understand why my edit on John Parry ( ref) was taken down. I said that there was a petition set up to have an official investigation into the game. When ever I try to cite the link it says its blocked. I can't even tell you what is is. So, got to Care 2 petitions and type in bengals in the search box. Then click onto what it shows.
