Disambiguation link notification for July 31 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Madison Capitols, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tim Sweeney. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hockey on the ice listed at Redirects for discussion edit
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hockey on the ice. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. . Right now this links to bandy, which is quite ridiculous if you ask me. Hockey on ice is ice hockey, and the redirect should justifiably go to that page.

Adding references can be easy edit
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.
Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
- Then click on "Templates".
- Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
- Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
- Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
- Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
- Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
- And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.
- 7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.
You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 18:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Mongolians in Normandy edit
I looked at your edit of the article Langing in Normandy: you introduced new ridiculous mistake: Mongolia was never a part of Soviet Union. (Look at the map where Mongolia is). I repeat that "Conscripts from Monglia" is nonsense, because Mongolia was never controled by Germany to perform conscription there. I can imagine that some Mongolian person volunteered to German army (which is highly unlikely, and in any case exceptional) but then one probably can find a person of any nation whatsoever in the German army.
"Mongolian decent" (as you wrote in my talk page) is even a greater nonsense than what you wrote in Wikipedia. First of all "people of Mongolian descent" is not the same as "Mongolians", or "volunteers from Mongolia" or "conscripts from Mongolia". Second, who cares of the "descent" of any person in this context? I bet that in any large unit of German army there were people of Jewish descent. But to write that they were "jewish colunteers" or "jewish conscripts" would be complete nonsense.

- Hi, Pym. I think you should look up exactly what Ostlegionen consisted of and then read the citations I included, which include examples of Russian and Mongolian troops, many who were POWs captured during Germany's battles with the Soviet Union (which is also very interesting). As for Mongolia ever having been a part of the Soviet Union, it was protected from Japan during World War II and did have a Bolshevik government installed. But it may be better to just word the sentence differently since not all Ost troops were from Soviet-controlled areas anyway (Eastern Europe and East Asia, for example).
