MMA stuff
Hello,

In case you aren't familiar with it, the consensus of the Wikipedia MMA community WP:MMA is that we do not put flag icons in the tables of results. Here is the quote (which you can find at the link above):

"In the column Opponent, do not add flag icons before the name of the opponent...."

File source problem with File:Old Lansdowne Road.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Old Lansdowne Road.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Guinness Pro12 Logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Guinness Pro12 Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Leinster Rugby
Hi there, can you please explain this revision? Do you really think that Leinster played against actual big cats, rather than a South African rugby team? On top of that, you are also reverting changes to link to actual articles, rather than redirection pages. What exactly is your logic behind that? Thirdly, you are adding information that are not verifiable. Please have a read of WP:VERIFY; it clearly states no original research, which is exactly what you're consistently adding. If you have a reliable source that can back up your changes, please add it in. If not, please refrain from adding in unverifiable information. Thanks, TheMightyPeanut (talk) 01:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, I think you might be missing the point of what is trying to achieve. James Lowe is not technically part of the Leinster squad yet, as his contract with Leinster doesn't begin until he's finished his Mitre 10 Cup duties with Tasman in New Zealand, which I think is later this month. As he is still contracted to Tasman, he cannot yet be a Leinster player. This may seem like a minor detail, but Peanut's point is that the source used to show who is in this seasons Leinster squad does not (yet) include Lowe, meaning that by including Lowe in the squad at this point, before he has actually joined Leinster, unverified information has been introduced to the article. As soon as Lowe has joined Leinster, it would appropriate to add him to the squad, with a note saying he is not yet on the website until such a time that a profile has been created for him. Does that make sense? Peanut isn't picking on the Leinster article, or yourself, they're actually doing a really good job of ensuring that the sources used to show which players are in which squad are strong and accurate.


 * Also, you need to be careful when you revert changes, as you've accidently reverted necessary changes to team and league names that, otherwise, would lead to redirects or, in the case of Cheetahs, to an entirely incorrect page, such as you have done here. I will leave it to yourself to decide if you want to revert your own changes, or wait for another to do it instead. MunsterFan2011 (talk) 06:13, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi LeinsterLad, thanks for finally adding a reliable source in this edit. However, the edit summary is not the correct place to do so. Please have a look at citing sources on how to add inline citations. I've added that into the article, as well as readded an explanatory note. Thanks, TheMightyPeanut (talk) 22:58, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Any interest in working to improve Leinster Rugby rivalry articles?
Hi LeinsterLad, great work on Leinster Rugby and related articles. As you see from the previous note, several Irish rugby rivalry articles are up for deletion, including three Leinster rivalry articles:


 * History of rugby union matches between Leinster and Connacht
 * History of rugby union matches between Leinster and Munster
 * History of rugby union matches between Leinster and Ulster

Any interest in working to improve these by adding text and citations re the rivalry? I've already made some improvements to a couple of articles, but could use some additional help if you have the time and the interest. The Leinster/Ulster article probably needs the most work right now, but feel free to work on any that interest you. Thanks! CUA 27 (talk) 21:48, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
