Minnesota Meetup
 2009 Proposed date: Saturday, October 10. Details under discussion. Please share this with anyone who may be interested.  Delivered by Jonathunder (talk) 15:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Remember, it's for clear cases of vandalism, not undoing one's own edits (e.g. as was done here). Cheers, NJA (t/ c)  07:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Harvin
Yeah, but I think the NFL would have announced him as a starter instead. I think they're treating him as a replacement player/alternate.  Pats 1  T / C  03:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Re MOS
Hi!

1) All of the examples here omit the exact birthplace from the first sentence, so I think that's what we're supposed to do. However, you can mention the birthplace later in the article.

2) Nicknames can be bolded. See the Dr. Drew example here.

If you have any other questions, let me know! Zagalejo^^^ 22:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Tiebreaker
If you can find info on the broadcasters, absolutely, that's pertinent information. But quote sections really violate WP:QUOTE (admittedly an essay not a hard policy) which includes "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section." More basically What_Wikipedia_is_not. If there is a specific quote that is sourced and directly relevant to the subject, like the Rollins quote I've left in 2009 World Series, then awesome. But a general quote section filled with "XYZ HAS DONE IT! XYZ IS THE ABC CHAMPION" - [Announcer] adds nothing and are, at least here, unsourced. Staxringold talkcontribs 20:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

2010 World Cup
I do agree that some of the content – including the controversies, etc. – could be split off into separate articles, but I do not think that including footballboxes for the group games would be a good idea, as the article would get too big. The older World Cup articles do include them for the group matches, but although it may not seem like it, they are in the process of being migrated to sub-articles. – PeeJay 06:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Carlos Eugenio Simon
Hey, thanks for dealing with the vandal who keeps changing the links to Carlos Eugênio Simon. Does that guy not have a life or something? – PeeJay 20:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Niitty middle name
Hi, I am updating citations in the Antero Niittymäki article and I was wondering if you had a source for his middle name, since you are the one who added it? I tried googling but now it is just results of caches of the wiki article... Hazelorb (talk) 03:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well that site is cited on multiple Olympics wikipedia articles so I will use it! Thanks! I wish the Flyers had more material online. There are still 4 or 5 articles they deleted when they moved to nhl.com that I can't find anymore... Hazelorb (talk) 04:11, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Michael Beasley
I was able to get the profile link to show up by removing a few fields in the infobox: (I don't understand why I had to do that; someone like User:LOL would know more about the technical details.)

As far as the high schools go, I don't think there's any consensus or consistency. I wouldn't mind if you included all six schools, but it's up to you. Zagal e jo^^^ 03:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. When you recently edited Mathew Dumba, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Romanian and Filipino (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

February 2015
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Park Ji-sung. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 06:59, 19 February 2015 (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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
