editHello, I'm Dl2000. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ospreys (rugby union) 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.

Ben Cambriani moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Ben Cambriani, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. And could we at least have a decent lead? Sam Sailor 05:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 29
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sale Sharks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert du Preez (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.)

Your draft article, Draft:Aneurin Owen (rugby union)
editHello, Rugby madmun. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Aneurin Owen".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Lapablo (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

editHi @Rugby madmun:, you keep removing players that haves sources on List of 2020–21 Pro14 transfers without any explanation, as you have done here, here, here, here and here. You seem to be of the opinion that players who have been promoted from a club's academy to that same club's senior squad should not be included. however, if that is your opinion, you should seek a consensus either on the articles talk page here, or perhaps on the WikiProject rugby union talk page here, rather than making a unilateral decision with no explanation that goes against the current accepted criteria for the page. Unless you can achieve a consensus with other contributors, I will continue to undo your unexplained removals and treat them as vandalism if necessary. MunsterFan2011 (talk) 10:52, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi mate @MunsterFan2011:. No need to get angsty about all of this, we're on a transfers page for Pro14 clubs. You have directed me to contributor pages, which I was previously unaware of, so in future will try to reference it, but again, it isn't that deep, mate. Furthermore, I have cited reputable sourcing for the addition. Hope this helps, it's not meant as a slight to anyone - especially you - just thought I'd look after my teams transfers. Best
- Hi @Rugby madmun: You haven't explained why you are removing perfectly acceptable additions to the article, which have sources backing them up. Until you can explain why you are doing this, a feel I have little choice but to treat your unexplained removals as vandalism, as I said before. Brushing this off as "no need to get angsty" does not help your case. MunsterFan2011 (talk) 09:38, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- @MunsterFan2011: As to my previous message, chill out. We're editing A TRANSFERS PAGE FOR THE PRO14, which I imagine only the most devout followers will ever visit, I hardly believe any of these viewers will be getting as worked up about whether Rio Dyer was signed from the academy or not. I removed them as these players have been present in the Dragons starting line ups for the past 2 seasons, are also already included on the Dragons squad on their wikipedia page , it's hardly news that they're now members of the Dragons squad on professional contracts is it? I really hope that you're under the age of 12 years old to care so deeply about something as trivial as all of this. Have a great week.
- Again, you are completely missing the point. Just because you deem this page to be trivial, that does not mean Wikipedia does. Are you new here? There are policies and guidelines that must adhered to. This ensures the validity of the information we are presenting. By removing sourced information, you are in breach of those policies. If you can't adhere to them and follow process like everyone else, this is not the site for you. If you believe players who are in a clubs academy and have been promoted to that clubs senior squad do not constitute transfers and, therefore, should not be on this article, you need to seek a consensus to support that opinion; this is how Wikipedia works. If you refuse to do that, I have little choice but to continue to treat your reverting as vandalism and, if necessary, report you to an administrator, in which case you could find yourself blocked. I have already explained to you how you can seek a consensus. I am more than happy to help you further if needs be, but I would advise you to not tell people to "chill out" or say things such as "I really hope that you're under the age of 12", as this will not help your case at all. Also, please end your message by using four tildes, as required by Wikipedia:Signatures. MunsterFan2011 (talk) 18:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

editPlease stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Christian Pulisic, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 00:55, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
What was disruptive about updating his statistics from today's game? There was no 'disruptive editing'. Mattythewhite
- Because you added statistics that were incorrect: they were already up to date as of yesterday's game. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:28, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Avoiding links to disambiguation pages
editPlease take care not to link to disambiguation pages as you did in this edit: check that all your links go to the page you intended.
There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 19:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
