Discretionary sanctions notice: biographies of living persons and post-1992 American politics
Your recent edit introduced unsourced interpretation or analysis at Gina Carano. Please refrain from adding original research to articles. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 12:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

February 2021
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Gina Carano; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 13:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Women's Challenge Cup
Are you sure moving the article from RFL WCC to WCC was the best idea? Women's Challenge Cups appear in other sports e.g the Irish FA have one. While the men's Challenge Cup has, imo, a strong case for wp:Primarytopic, I'm not sure the women's Cup could make as strong a claim hence the disambiguation from the outset. Nthep (talk) 08:24, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Links to the primary topic of the mens competition, as being the same sport, we are not allowed to split them because of gender and talk of them as separate sports. So the overwhelmingly primary topic of the Challenge Cup (as a rugby league cup) lends weight to the move.Fleets (talk) 08:26, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Article move David March
Hi there. I see that you moved the David March article to David March (actor). This was an inappropriate move per WP:ONEOTHER. The rugby player is a very minor sports figure, and I don't think its in doubt that the actor should be the primary target to be located at David March with a hat note at the top of the page.4meter4 (talk) 23:49, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of the actor, and still very far from convinced that one is primary over the other. David March the rugby league footballer may well be a very minor sports figure is you look at his amateur rugby exploits, but 400 odd games of rugby league means that he does not go from the primary to secondary. David March should be a disambiguation page, else returned to the rugby league footballer, and the RM process looked at, as the move was highly contentious in the first place.Fleets (talk) 07:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

NOTW cites
Did you check any of the links to the deprecated news source you were putting into BLPs? Cos you were putting dead links in and claiming they were references - David Gerard (talk)
 * Went off the edit summary, which by your tone here, was potentially generic to both deprecated and non-deprecated sources alike?Fleets (talk) 10:23, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * So you're admitting that you were putting dead links to deprecated sources into BLPs, without at any point looking at what you were actually doing? - David Gerard (talk) 11:12, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Super League
Page views on Super League have grown by a factor 75 in two days. That means 99% of the viewers are currently looking for The Super League announced two days ago. We should guide them there, not to old proposals. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:47, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Those pages are being merged, with the Super League returning to the Super League.Fleets (talk) 10:54, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * A possible merge has been mentioned. It may or may not happen at an unknown title. Hatnotes can always be changed later. Why lead 50000 daily viewers to an article they aren't looking for? PrimeHunter (talk) 11:11, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If they arrived on a rugby league article, and the Super League is the rugby league competition, and not an association football one, I'm not sure how steering them towards the European Super League is a worse option than a planned league currently with the same name as the primary topic. Clarity is king.Fleets (talk) 12:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

European super league redirect
Hi. Can I ask why you reverted my change to this redirect? When I searched for those words, I was looking for some of the entries on European Super League, which is a disambiguation page; instead I was surprisingly sent to the rugby competition. It seemed obvious to me that the uncapitalised version of those words should redirect to the same place as the capitalised ones, so I retargeted it. I might not have done so if the redirect had a considerable history; but it was only created by you a couple of days ago, and is linked from no other pages.

Why do you believe Super League is the clear primary topic of the string 'European super league'? I'm well aware of the Super League, but I've never heard it called that, and the words 'European super league' don't even appear in the article. I would argue that, given the number of current and previous competitions called 'European super league' or something similar, there's no primary topic, and the disambiguation page is the obvious correct target here.

If you still don't agree, please confirm here or on my talk page, and I'll take it to WP:RFD for more input. Robofish (talk) 20:22, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * RL had the previous claim on the term, and I didn't see a reason stated for the move. Understand primary, but lack of rationale led to revision.Fleets (talk) 07:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

"European super league" listed at Redirects for discussion
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect European super league. The discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 April 22 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Robofish (talk) 22:01, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Unnecessary redirect
This is not a reason to use a completely unnecessary redirect. As I've said, it has no WP:RPURPOSE and would certainly be deleted if it wasn't for the fact that it's so old. If you continue with pointlessly illogical reversions such as this (New South Wales links to New South Wales), simply to make the location appear as one colour, it'll go to ANEW. – 2 . O .

Michael Jennings (rugby league)
Hi Fleets. Regarding my recent edit at Michael Jennings (rugby league), nickname is no longer a supported Infobox rugby league biography parameter. It was removed in January 2018 (see also discussion here and here ). Because nickname is no longer supported, no value for it is displayed in the infobox. Also, articles that still use that parameter are included at Category:Pages using infobox rugby league biography with unknown parameters and Wikipedia displays this notice when the "Show preview" button is pressed for an article and the nickname parameter is used:
 * "Warning: Page using Template:Infobox rugby league biography with unknown parameter "nickname" (this message is shown only in preview)."

So, I'm going to remove it again. If you want to discuss it further, leave me a message on my talk page as I won't get any notification if you leave me a message here or at Talk:Michael Jennings (rugby league). Thanks. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 12:05, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Cited source, so work it into the article, make it part of the infobox, but removing the cited source does not help anyone, least of all the reader.Fleets (talk) 13:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The cited source does not appear to verify his nickname, but if I've got that wrong, I welcome fraternal correction. As far as I can tell, the source is not cited or used elsewhere in the article. Do you know of a source that verifies his nickname? If so, then you could work it into the article text. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 14:51, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Descriptions
Hello! Thanks for the information. I finished up working on those because it is a little confusing from an editing perspective. Sorry for the confusion. If I can assist with anything on my side, just let me know. It is not a bot. It is just me doing that by hand using the shortdesc helper function/gadget. Red Director (talk) 14:44, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I thinks it's pretty clear that he is sometimes called Phil as a nickname, but the field is for his NAME. A simple google shows much more common Phillip is. 23k google hits to 2. Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:36, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Given that his club called him by the name Phil, and I cited that club source, I was a little surprised to see it removed. I'm not looking to cause an argument, so have added the short version of his name, and the full version of his name as the same thing in both fields.Fleets (talk) 09:41, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I just checked their website which refers to him as Phillip many times. I'm sure they have on occasion called him Phil. That's how nicknames work. Doctorhawkes (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Not really much of nickname, but agreed both Phil and Phillip have been used.Fleets (talk) 09:53, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Right, but people don't agree with the way you're piping (effectively increasing the bunched-up blue, which isn't very helpful for readers). I'd hate to lose you and your good work. What about trying to compromise at ANI? If you're sanctioned it will do no one any good. You'll need to convince them you won't edit-war, which is just that you'll follow the site rule.

Team names in Info Box
Just a quick question, if the team name is Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles etc, why do we have to put Canterbury Bulldogs, Cronulla Sharks etc in the Info Box of players??. Couldn't we just wrap the text so it all fits in there?.Sully198787 (talk) 11:09, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I think people objected to the overly long full names that were seen to be excessively long for the infobox. I've got no great issues against the full name, but I can see where some people are coming from, as the South Sydney Rabbitohs is obviously a much longer name than the Wests Tigers. Aesthetic reasons would be my guess.Fleets (talk) 07:44, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:South Wales Ironmen rugby league players


A tag has been placed on Category:South Wales Ironmen rugby league players indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

Template talk:London Broncos current squad
Hello, Fleets,

You left a message on this otherwise empty template talk page that you wanted it "returned" to you. But I'm not sure what you want returned. Typically, if there is content an editor wants from a deleted page, you should either go to WP:REFUND to request it, if the page was deleted uncontroversially, or go directly to the deleting administrator (in this case, Explicit), and see if they will restore the content in User or Draft space. This message was ambiguous so it was not clear to me what you wanted done. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Harry Bardle


The article Harry Bardle has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Despite passing WP:RLN there no significant coverage to meet WP:GNG in independent reliable sources. Likely WP:BLP1E failure."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Blank lines
As we discussed here last year, requiring blank lines to be left in place in a template is neither necessary nor helpful, and certainly not something that ought to be used to justify reverting other edits or edit-warred over. Please stop doing that. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Again: adding blank parameters is not an appropriate cause for reverting other edits. If you really want to have the blank parameters, even though there is absolutely no reason to, you can add them back in manually without undoing other changes. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:15, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have zero issue with you do that.Fleets (talk) 15:40, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how the above was unclear, but there is absolutely no need to retain the entire line, and it is wholly inappropriate to revert solely because you want to have a blank line. If you want the blank line there, you can add it without undoing other changes. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:01, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

June 2022
Your recent editing history at Fallon Fox shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
