Super Bowl XLVIII
Your definition of "pertinent" is what I have a problem with. Although Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopaedia, and therefore is not bound by the restrictions of limited space, it is also not an indiscriminate collection of information. I appreciate that the stats table you refer to is not a "long and sprawling list of statistics", but just because the NFL records a statistic, that doesn't mean we have to include it on Wikipedia. The stats you added to the Super Bowl XLVIII article don't seem to be as essential as the others in the table. I'm happy to listen to other voices on the matter, though, and if a consensus emerges that those stats should be included, then of course they should; I just don't believe they should according to Wikipedia policy. – PeeJay 09:22, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:Basketball's triple crown
Template:Basketball's triple crown has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. —Bagumba (talk) 15:04, 11 September 2015 (UTC) The reason I put it in is because the page for each of the seven players discusses a 'Triple Crown' and I feel there should be a link from one page to each of the others.

Citation issue
Hello,

Quite a while ago you added references to Spizer, 2004 on The Beatles page. It was tagged recently because it didn't have the full citation. I found another Spizer, 2004 on Introducing..._The_Beatles for "The Beatles Are Coming! The Birth of Beatlemania in America" and copied that across. Could you confirm that is correct citation?

Pretty sure it is correct, but I don't have it...

--John (User:Jwy/talk) 02:57, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry I do not have any of the references to Spizer. Mine are to the Wallgren book.

When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,.

The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.
