Brunson
Vandalism? Really? I just used the links which are used on most articles about basketball players, the team name and not one specific season link. And you template me with vandalism? Sorry, but you can't be serious... I'm not a newbie, so you could have just discussed it with me. (Sorry if it "sounds" rude) Kante4 (talk) 22:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- No response? Don't get me wrong but i would like to clarify the issue. Kante4 (talk) 09:31, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- The reason to have a link in an article is because the reader can find further detail about the topic at the link destination. For sports biographies, there has been no consensus on whether to use team season articles or just team articles. This lack of consensus to me is just the lazy way out. If you want to tell me that a player did such and such against a team, he did it against the players on that team in that season. Brunson did not debut against the Phoenix Suns, he debuted against the 2018–19 Phoenix Suns season. The former is an article about the history of the franchise with content that has captions about the Kevin Johnson, Charles Barkley and Steve Nash eras. None of those guys has anything to do with Brunson's debut. Brunson debuted against the 2018–19 Phoenix Suns season coached by Igor Kokoškov and a team composed of these guys. Why not send the reader to the link about the subject?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- I understand you but i think this needs wider discussion (WP:NBA), else readers think a team is linked over and over again. Still, why did you template me and acused me of vandalism? Kante4 (talk) 16:11, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- I think we have tried to have this discussion in the past, to no consensus. I am open to revisiting this. I have not had any problem with these links in a while. I may have been rash in tagging you.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:13, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- I guess there should be a discussion, as i have only seen you doing this. And yeah, no "may", you were wrong tagging me, but it's all good. Kante4 (talk) 11:33, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- Kante4, I don't see the confusion. If I am reading the 20XX-YY sesaon, the Suns would refer to the 20XX-YY Suns. The information about who he played against is only at the team-season article. No matter who is doing it another way, he did not debut against Nash, Johnson and Barkley. The prior discussion may have been at WP:NBA, WP:BBALL or WP:CBBALL. It was no consensus. I am not hearing your opionion. Do you feel that the he debuted against the Phoenix Suns or the 2018–19 Phoenix Suns? Feel free to open a discussion at one of those pages. You can probably ask around for the prior discussion.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- BTW, I meant open at one of the project pages above not a talk of either Phoenix Suns article.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:50, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

The Call of the Wild adaptations
So, why aren't the anime adaptations for The Call of the Wild not notable enough? I can make it more notable if you want. I mean, you guys already had the 1982 anime adaptation for White Fang, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.252.79 (talk) 00:41, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Cool Air
A tag has been placed on Template:Cool Air requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --woodensuperman 10:02, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
The Call of the Wild adaptations
Just because they're red links, doesn't mean they can't be on here. How are they not notable enough for their own pages. I'll create pages for them someday. Are you an admin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.252.79 (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Odd MOS question
Hi Tony, I have an odd MOS question and no idea where to go for the answers. I've run across a user who appears to be using emoticons as ref names, as per this diff. They show up in several other articles the user has edited, including Sadid-1. Is this a quirk of my browser (Amazon Silk, based on Android Chrome)? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 03:25, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
I have unreviewed a page you curated
Thanks for reviewing David Long (American football), TonyTheTiger.

Administrators' newsletter – December 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2018).
Administrator changes
Al Ameer son • Randykitty • Spartaz- Boson • Daniel J. Leivick • Efe • Esanchez7587 • Fred Bauder • Garzo • Martijn Hoekstra • Orangemike
Interface administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, the Mediation Committee is now closed and will no longer be accepting case requests.
- A request for comment is in progress to determine whether members of the Bot Approvals Group should satisfy activity requirements in order to remain in that role.
- A request for comment is in progress regarding whether to change the administrator inactivity policy, such that administrators "who have made no logged administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped". Currently, the policy states that administrators "who have made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least 12 months may be desysopped".
- A proposal has been made to temporarily restrict editing of the Main Page to interface administrators in order to mitigate the impact of compromised accounts.
Technical news
- Administrators and bureaucrats can no longer unblock themselves unless they placed the block initially. This change has been implemented globally. See also this ongoing village pump discussion (permalink).
- To complement the aforementioned change, blocked administrators will soon have the ability to block the administrator that placed their block to mitigate the possibility of a compromised administrator account blocking all other active administrators.
- Since deployment of Partial blocks on Test Wikipedia, several bugs were identified. Most of them are now fixed. Administrators are encouraged to test the new deployment and report new bugs on Phabricator or leave feedback on the Project's talk page. You can request administrator access on the Test Wiki here.
Arbitration
- Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee Elections is open to eligible editors until Monday 23:59, 3 December 2018. Please review the candidates and, if you wish to do so, submit your choices on the voting page.
Miscellaneous
- In late November, an attacker compromised multiple accounts, including at least four administrator accounts, and used them to vandalize Wikipedia. If you have ever used your current password on any other website, you should change it immediately. Sharing the same password across multiple websites makes your account vulnerable, especially if your password was used on a website that suffered a data breach. As these incidents have shown, these concerns are not pure fantasies.
- Wikipedia policy requires administrators to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.
Obituaries
- Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (Raymond Arritt) passed away on 14 November 2018. Boris joined Wikipedia as Raymond arritt on 8 May 2006 and was an administrator from 30 July 2007 to 2 June 2008.

Thanks for creating David Long (American football).
I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.
If a bit more prose could be added about his college career on the gridiron, that would be great, otherwise the page looks fine.
