Proposed deletion of Jay Kennedy-Harris


The article Jay Kennedy-Harris has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. —— Mel bourne Star ☆ talk 22:49, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Goulburn Valley Football League, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Blake (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.

 * Hi, I saw that you posted on the bot's talk page that you didn't understand the message above. I suggest you click on the link to Mark Blake. As you will see, there are a number of notable people by that name. You probably meant Mark Blake (Australian rules footballer); if so, you should edit the article Goulburn Valley Football League so that a reader who clicks on that link will see the article about the right Mark Blake.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 00:07, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

You don't have to save the page after every tiny edit, just use the preview button.


 * Thanks for letting me know not to sound rude or anything I do it on purpose because I want to get my edit count up but if it illegal or something I'll stop


 * Thanks

your multiple editing practice
Hi,

The following users have already mentioned this to you: DS, myself, The-Pope and Melbourne3163. Your practice of multiple edits for simple changes is distracting to other user's editing of Wikipedia. You have asked for explanations and have received them:
 * 1) It confuses users who are editing the page at the same time as you, as my confusion was when we edited Dayne Beams at the same time and you had only updated his game count and not the stats update time, and therefore I almost added an extra game to him.
 * 2) The number of edits a user has is almost meaningless. Nobody looks at this number, and a user's quality isn't judged by the number of edits, but rather by the quality of the edits.
 * 3) It floods the watchlist and the recent changes list and makes it harder to spot if other users have made inappropriate edits.
 * 4) (adding this one now) Micro-editing takes more time, which you could use for other things, such as bettering a larger number of articles.

We would all very much appreciate if you desist from this practice.

Thanks,

--SuperJew (talk) 17:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I fully support all four comments. Cheers, Melbourne3163 (talk) 22:03, 15 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Following up from your answer on my talk page, Yes we would like you to do the whole stats change in one edit. In one edit change from "Player with X goals in Y games as of round Z" to "Player with X+1 goals in Y+1 games as of round Z+1". Also, it is bad form to delete other users' posts from your talk page, unless you are archiving them. --SuperJew (talk) 05:13, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

a helpful suggestion
I also noticed you're using your user page to experiment with articles and such. There is a sandbox area (you can access it at the link in the top row next to the links to your user page and talk page) which is intended exactly for those experiments. It would probably be easier and more organized and then you can use your user page for stuff about you. --SuperJew (talk) 05:17, 16 May 2014 (UTC)


 * you use the sandbox area exactly as any page - just editing. It is simply a page within your userspace specifically for test edits. You don't have to use it, I just thought you might find it better then test editing on your user page. for an example you can see how I used my sandbox by looking at its history. --SuperJew (talk) 08:58, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Big list of players
Hi there, I just found the Template:AFL Players list that you made. Like a lot of your edits, I'm not really sure what you are trying to achieve. Whatever it is, it should not be in template namespace & until it is completed, it should really be in your sandbox or draft namespace. Regards The-Pope (talk) 14:55, 27 May 2014 (UTC) I'll put it in my sandbox.

Dustin Fletcher talk page
I'm not sure why you want a daily count down on Talk:Dustin Fletcher over 80 days to Fletcher becoming the fifth oldest AFL player. How does a daily update help the discussion of how to improve the article? I'd suggest you take a quick look at WP:Talk and decide whether 80 daily updates fits in with that policy. Perhaps it would be easier, just as effective and more in line with WP policy to simply note on the talk page that on a certain date the article needs to be updated for the milestone?Wikipeterproject (talk) 19:27, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:AFL Players

Mass unnecessary edits
Hi Jack. Could you please stop making multiple edits to the one article when you could easily do it with just one edit?

Hey,

Really appreciate your help keeping Collingwood player pages updated on stats (especially Bucks, as I seem to keep on forgetting to update him).

Would greatly appreciate you picking up the tab on keeping the players' stats updated and also keep the season page updated.

 * Interesting that you interpreted my comments above as me being able to take abuse, rather than as a warning to stop abusing people. I think you need to realise that it doesn't matter how good YOU think you contributions are, nor how good we think SOME of your contributions are, if you can't treat this as an encyclopedia, not a forum/twitter/facebook etc, then you'll keep tripping up and getting blocked.  Think of this as the library, or your granny's house, not your mates place or the footy.  Take your 24 hrs to think about that, and hope you grow up a bit when you return.

Vandalism of List of Australian supercentenarians
Your recent multiple edits of this article are annoying as there is no need to save a dozen edits whenever updating a Wikipedia article. Furthermore, you have not provided and supporting evidence to show that the six living Australians claiming to be over 110 years old actually as old as they claim to be. Without verification they will remain on the unverified list.Crveni5 (talk) 11:19, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Your recent edits of the Australian supercentenarian article shows that the article was modified by you in a piecemeal manner, not because you fixed errors you claim you made.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page List of National Basketball Association career rebounding leaders has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Baby miss fortune 11:02, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
