Flags in European current templates

edit

Hello there, I have been asked by another member of WPRL to widen the conversation on "Flags in European current templates", in the hope to gain a wider consensus. I imagine that this message may well never be read, dismissed, see me lose support, potentially gain some or take the discussion forwards. Please do take the time to read the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_league#Flags_in_squad_templates if you can, but the crux of my position is that the flags are prevalent elsewhere, are consistent with usage by the MOS, and their implementation for their rugby league national squad/team or representative nationality, is in line with their intended purpose. The crux of the remove side would be an IP editor may interpret a flag as indication of birth, give too much credence to the nation, and the decision was made previously. To remove them from all rugby league templates when there is a limited conversation would seem more than a little unfair I would say, hence the attempt to reach out. I'm quite happy to voted down, but would appreciate a few more voices to the discussion, else it would seem quite wrong to move from the majority into the minority.Fleets (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of New Zealand Kiwis coaches, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Maguire (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) 09:21, 13 January 2019 (UTC) - Link was fixed Rtande (talk) 18:57, 13 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Janna Vaughan

edit
 

The article Janna Vaughan 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. PamD 06:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Instead of the BLP PROD, which would have left the article visible for 10 days, I have moved this page to Draft:Janna Vaughan, as it has no text content and is therefore not suitable to be in the encyclopedia, even as a stub. Please do not start a stub unless you have time to add at the least a lead sentence, not just an infobox, telling us who the person is (and why there should be an article about them), and you have at hand at least one reliable independent published source which supports your information, to add to the stub from the very start. If you prefer to start articles without content and sources, please do so in your own sandbox or in Draft space, but not in the main encyclopedia. Thanks. PamD 07:08, 10 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Pam, I'll remember to move articles to a draft state next time. Rtande (talk) 15:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
