  Hello, I'm Supercell121. I noticed that you recently removed content from Royal Rumble (2004) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Hello, I'm Jackfork. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dolph Ziggler, 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alexander Wolfe (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.)

Height and weight

For Kemba Walker you reverted his weight without an explanation. Per WP:NBAWEIGHT (and WP:NBAHEIGHT), the player's measurements in the infobox are usually listed according to their latest profile on NBA.com. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 07:59, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've undid your changes to Miles Bridges as you did not explain your edits in an edit summary, and the edit is unsourced as well contrary to his NBA.com profile. If you continue this type of disruptive editing without consensus, you could be blocked from editing.—Bagumba (talk) 08:11, 11 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Removing quotation marks

edit

Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Event, moves should be in quotation marks, not italics. JTP (talkcontribs) 17:43, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Please familiarize yourself with WP:DONOTFIXIT and WP:NOPIPE. Edits such as [1] violate those policies and are not helpful. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 13:19, 10 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

WP:ENGAGE

edit

You have been told multiple times about the quotes vs italics from moves. You have been told your edits for fixing links are incorrect. Yet when you look here [2] and [3] you once again made edits that went against what you have been told, and you failed to explain why. If you feel there is something others are missing you must communicate that and have a conversation. Under wikipedia policy you are required to WP:ENGAGE which you are failing to do. Should I see you continue to make these edits with refusing to communicate, I will be left with no choice but to bring you to WP:ANI, which will likely result in you being blocked. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 13:19, 16 July 2019 (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 Death Lineup, 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. Per MOS:SPORTCAPS, we don't need to capitalize generic English terms like "conference finals". We would with something like "Super Bowl", because the English words "super bowl" would not covey the same point.Bagumba (talk) 10:15, 5 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

"Eastern/Western conference finals". Does that look right to you? The name of one of the NBA's most important playoff series. You wouldn't type "NBA Finals" as "NBA finals", would you? Suburbain1 (talk) 12:06, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

I would not have change it unless it looked right to me. For example this New York Times article uses both "Eastern Conference finals" and "N.B.A. finals". Corporations (over)captitalize things for their own marketing. Wikipedia only needs to capitalize true proper nouns when the lowercase version would have a different (or no) meaning in English. One of your edits also introduced a mixed case of "Conference semifinals".[4]Bagumba (talk) 15:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Death Lineup.

  Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits.
