Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. JNW (talk) 23:28, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi OriolesMagic; I've reverted your most recent addition to the Redskins article in part because much of it was unsourced and appeared to be composed of original research interpretations, but also because it seemed too detailed a summary of individual games for an article that is essentially a historical overview of the team. The games are more appropriately covered at the article on their 2009 season. Thanks, JNW (talk) 23:50, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Washington Redskins season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Josh Wilson (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.

How do I put the direct link to Wilson's page? I'll edit it in if you tell me how.

I appreciate the commentary, but I feel obligated to post these, because the women's tournaments have been very neglected this year, so I am scrambling to type all these conferences up. I would appreciate help with sorucing. OriolesMagic (talk) 16:27, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Orioles1997

Category hyphenation
It's a small thing I know, but I assume you're creating articles such as 2020 West Coast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament off a template so you only need to fix it once. Note that categories such as use an MOS:ENDASH and not a hyphen, which means that if you do use a hyphen it breaks the link to the category. Also just in general, the rules are different for red links to articles and categories - per WP:REDNOT you should never leave a red link to a category, either create the category or don't add the link. Le Deluge (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

2022 WAC Women's Basketball Tournament moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2022 WAC Women's Basketball Tournament, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I put in the link to the women's basketball bracket, which is on the same page as the men's. That should be sufficient. OriolesMagic (talk) 18:46, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Crystal ball
The WP:Crystal ball problem in using "will be" instead of "was" in articles like you did here is that it can last that way for a long time. I've been fixing some that are many years old. If you're going to create articles with future tense, put them on your calendar to fix when the time comes. Better, just don't write about things that haven't happened yet.

 * Considering the fact that every men's division I conference tournament has a page, I think it is inequitable to delete the women's pages. Some random mod came on and undid a bunch of my work because it didn't fit *his* standards*.
 * I work hard to make sure that the women's basketball tournament pages are made and updated. I repectfully request they be improved, and not deleted. OriolesMagic (talk) 14:11, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Secondary to my previous post, I would like to note that I made the vast majority of the 2022 articles as well. The difference between last year and this year is that I was actually physically AT a tournament this year. I was able to better update the pages. I am perfectly fine with updating the articles in due course, but it will take me time. I find the lack of coverage for the women's conference tournaments to be insulting and always have. In 2014, someone made the pages for all the conference tournaments, and women's basketball started to get rightfully covered more on this website. I feel like deleting Division I Women's basketball conference tournament articles shows inequity and bias. OriolesMagic (talk) 14:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
