Hi How goes it? I see a SPA was in and removed sections that were largely unsourced from this BLP. They have an entry up at Coin. I don't know what they are doing here removing the stuff. Normally I wouldn't defend a SPA doing such a thing, but the article is largely unsourced. They can't sit with CN tags on them. The article is too old for that. Would you be up for sourcing them and putting them back in.  scope_creep Talk  16:16, 7 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I Completely understand your points and agree. Yeah I'll look start the task. Cheers, Paulpat99 (talk) 19:35, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

2022 team season pages
Hey Paulpat99,

Happy new year to you! Thanks for the help with the team season pages; I haven't been able to get to them sooner because I've been much busier with real life this year than last year, so the help is much appreciated. That being said, before you create the 2022 page for a particular team, can you perform the same end-of-season changes to that team's 2021 page like I've done for Trek–Segafredo, EF Education–Nippo, and Ineos Grenadiers so far? That would mostly involve grabbing references for results from those races' pages and updating the roster with any stagiaires. Also, please just make sure to remove any information that is no longer applicable for the 2022 pages (e.g., Premier Tech as a key sponsor for Astana Qazaqstan).

Cheers! Benjamin112 &#9742;  08:02, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Happy New Year to you also. Yes I'm  sure I can look at fixing the end of season for the teams. I apologise for the errors in the Astana Team I ended up quickly finishing ass it got late and decided I would fix in the morning so thanks for that. Thanks, Paulpat99 (talk) 18:23, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for adding refs
Thanks for adding refs, to some of the article lacking them. Material that is uncited may be tagged, or alternatively deleted - the burden to supply the ref is on the person re-adding it, which you have kindly done. Too many people treat wp as a repository for uncited information. They don't get to foist the responsibility for providing a ref on others - those who add it, should do so themselves. This is especially true with BLPs, though it is not limited to them. --2603:7000:2143:8500:514:437F:7C59:FB23 (talk) 18:04, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Tour of Southland
Hello @Paulpat99,

Congratulations on reaching 5,000 edits!

I'd recently expanded out the table for the Tour of Southland page, to include a column for countries, though you've reversed that edit. As there have been a small number of non-NZ winners of the ToS, I'd put in a countries column, as it would allow visitors to discern out that information. It's also in keeping with the table format used for the New Zealand Cycle Classic and REV Classic pages. I'm not clear why the ToS table should be handled differently to the ones at those pages. If you can enlighten me, please do! (Am fairly new to editing, hence the query.)

Also, the 1973 ToS winner, Michael Hughes, is notable for being the first Southlander to have won the event. It's on my ever-increasing to-do list to create a page for him. Just not sure how long before that happens though!

Kind regards Aerohydro (talk) 05:12, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @Aerohydro Cheers, I guess that to keep standard in NZ races it could be done however I'd recommend using Template:NZL than the way you had it before. I was more looking at damn okay the page I was looking at has it in this format then I apologize but the coding used in other pages is with Template:Cycling past winner rider. I will undo my revert apologies for any trouble caused.

Regarding Michael Hughes; is he notable in any other sense? Does he meet NCYC?

Cheers, Paulpat99 (talk) 06:04, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @Paulpat99 Thanks for reverting the page. Appreciate your doing that.  Going forward, I'll check the formatting provided by the templates, before doing similar editing.  (BTW, thanks too for fixing the tables at Le Race.  In my sandbox, I'd tried and tried to get the sorting to work, but just couldn't.  In the end just uploaded the tables as I had them.)
 * Mike Hughes, as he's better known as, wouldn't meet the NCYC criteria. However, post ToS, he had an interesting business history, which might help to make him eligible for inclusion.
 * All the best, Aerohydro (talk) 08:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Alpecin suplementary stats
Hi @Paulpat99, I saw you noticed my edit on suplementary stats of team so I wanted you to ask: Do you think I should also add Brabantse Pijl to the table? They have some great results there (win in 2019, second in 2020, top 10s in 2021 and 2022) so I think it should be written in the stats. Thanks in advance! Šimisborec (talk) 11:34, 30 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @Šimisborec You can add it if you want, I just saw that the race has been around a fair while and has some prestige so I believe it’s worthy of a mention. Also if you look at the List of wins by Quick-Step–Davitamon and its successors someone has added many one day races there. I guess with additional races it’s a team by team basis and yes Alpecin looks good for Brabantse Pijl. Cheers Paulpat99 (talk) 18:08, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Cycling Team Kranj
Hi. I relly dont understund how reference they need about new page for new team (you made red this) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cycling_Team_Kranj. I recieved this: '''This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. '''

This is getting frustrating. I don't know what kind of references you can give for the new (2021) Conti team other than https://www.procyclingstats.com/team/ct-kranj-2022 https://firstcycling.com/team.php?l=29119 http://kklub-sava.si/ekipe/ List of 2022 UCI ProTeams and Continental teams

Citation needed for full name ...
Are you serious or what... Demanding "citaion needed" on a person's middle name has NEVER happened to me, I've been at W for 10 years, written over 150 articles, edited 1000's and never encountered this.

Do you really think that Gustav Johansson would lie about his name, should I have to get his birth certificate and show you???

If you don't remove it, I'll take this to the village pump, I've never on W seen anything more stupid. - Jonnmann (talk) 11:47, 3 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Jonnmann I do not appreciate your tone. I see your points however, where is the source located to show his full name? This is required under WP:Verifiability. Other pages do have the name linked with a source in the info box so I was just following what they did. If you can show me a source in the article that shows it then I will remove it. The source shouldn't be a user-made website WP:USERG. Although like you said it would be silly for him to lie about his name, but the first page on his website does not talk about his full name.

Team Redlands
Title sponsor is no longer Wildlife Generation, so that should go to past tense. Team Redlands has been the owner of the team since its inception. Reference is Team Redlands owner Danny van Haute. I have been media relations officer for the team for many years but was not for the past two years. Jefffrowe (talk) 19:05, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Jefffrowe Hey, do you have a source for which you have stated? Your comments show that you have information not publicly stated regarding the future of the team this must be verified (Verifiability) to show that it meets No original research
 * Saying that you know the team and have previously worked for the team is a Conflict of interest so you editing their page is strongly discouraged.
 * Team Redlands may be the owner company of the team. However, team pages are named as their uci name or if inactive then as their most recent team name, look at Katusha–Alpecin they use their last name although they were run under the Katusha brand only. Paulpat99 (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Source is Danny van Haute. Team owner.  Your formatting suggestion is fine.  Thank you. Jefffrowe (talk) 20:31, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Is the information published? If not it cannot be included in Wikipedia as it must be verifiable specifically the quality reliable WP:SOURCE "Source material must have been published, the definition of which for the purposes of Wikipedia is made available to the public in some form. Unpublished materials are not considered reliable." Otherwise sweet as, happy editing Paulpat99 (talk) 20:37, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Help out
Hey, could you help out at Articles for deletion/Davide Ricci Bitti? Got a real stubborn guy insisting on getting this deleted. Thanks, Seacactus 13 (talk) 23:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC).


 * @Seacactus 13 I can try. The issue is they changed WP:NCYCLING to make presumed notability about winners only, not participation. So the way to get them included is by winning a race or have enough sources to make them notable. I will do what I can to the article to help it out. But because of their stupid change about notability I think a few articles need beefing up. Paulpat99 (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I see he has a few wins in races but I cannot see what level of racing it is as older races are kinda hard to determine but here: GP Industria Casini, GP Industria Casini 2007 as per FirstCycling website. Paulpat99 (talk) 04:48, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Deleted articles
Kia ora Paul, I see that you've had a handful of articles deleted. Very annoying when that happens but also not unusual for new editors to experience that before you get the hang of WP:GNG. If any of those bios are something that you'd like to put further work into, I can restore those articles and move them into your user space. You can then work on the bios until notability has been met. Let me know if that's of interest.  Schwede 66  00:41, 13 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi as a new editor I was completely unaware of WP:GNG so I saw there were cycling articles so I just made them. As time has gone on I have learnt the significance of Notability and have put more effort into articles making sure that when I create them they are not just stubs but have some content. The deleted articles I believe will probably not meet notability either at all or for a long time so I see no need to restore them. Also with the recent change in WP:NCYC being from participation based to actually winning something there is less of a chance of that.
 * Thank you for putting in the time to check me out and giving me a few tips it is greatly appreciated. Paulpat99 (talk) 00:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Just hit me up with any requests beyond your permission level.  Schwede 66  05:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * BTW, I've checked with my neighbour and winning national champs has only started in senior years. Hence, I assume GNG won't be met.  Schwede 66  21:42, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Paulpat99! :) I added that "Leonard" in Jack Haig since I found this source, that it is clearly copy-pasted from an official standings, so even if it is rare to find other sources (but there is for instance a picture credited on Alamy), I assume it is correct to say that he has Leonard as second name.

 * I agree with what @NapHit has done. Adding the group sets and frames is not relevant. An average reader would not have any idea what the significance is. Knowing the teams and times is more relevant though. Unfortunately the French and English wiki differ quite a lot. From what I’ve read the English wiki has stricter standards and rules.

 * @LarryBenjamin123 You will just have to wait. Adding prose or details about the actual race will make it more likely to be accepted. Paulpat99 (talk) 23:57, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Team Sky
Hello kind stranger! It has now come to my knowledge of what happened when I tried to create a "Team Sky" wikipedia page. Forgive me as this is my first time contributing on Wikipedia. I do apologize for what I did, and please know there was no ill intent behind it. However, I do want to keep the page I created up, and I still want to use "Team Sky" in some form in the title of the page. Would you be so kind as to instruct me how to re-open the page with a different title? I could discern that it is a sport karate team in the title, if that's what's necessary.

Once again I apologize for what I did to your page, but I ask of your aid in restoring mine.

 * For starting your article use this guide here Articles for creation. There is a step by step guide on how to do it. Step 1 is checking your topic is notable, all pages must meet WP:GNG. Paulpat99 (talk) 06:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Zero edit summary revert
You made a revert here that seems inappropriate. Did not leave the appropriate edit summary. Please self-revert. Or explain. Keep in mind wp:burden.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kuwait_Pro_Cycling_Team&action=history 2603:7000:2101:AA00:91CA:6C52:F374:E0CF (talk) 09:08, 21 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Here as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nice_Cycling_Team&diff=prev&oldid=1191053532 --2603:7000:2101:AA00:91CA:6C52:F374:E0CF (talk) 09:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You said as per your summary it is not current so you deleted it. The pages do not represent the current situation they all state a situation in the past. I reverted them all on the same principal so only included one edit summary.
 * Your first link you posted you deleted a rider who rode for that team in 2022 so I reverted your edit. Your second edit the same thing. The team is from 2017 and those riders rode in 2017 see the sources in the article to verify. Paulpat99 (talk) 09:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Where did you see the title of the team section designating it as "in the past." And in any event, if lacking RS support, I'll add that it is inappropriate to restore without an inline citation to an RS that directly supports the contribution. I saw sections lacking RS refs. Are you saying that each of them in fact had an RS ref - and I missed it? If so, I'll take another look. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:91CA:6C52:F374:E0CF (talk) 09:25, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Read where it says the team existed in 2017 and was disbanded in the same year. Your edits were for the wrong reason hence the revert. Paulpat99 (talk) 09:28, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Normally on teams the convention I am familiar with is we designate the year, or current, or current is presumed (though it is rare). In any event, I'm happy to delete again with an indication that I am challenging per wp:or, and ask that it not be restored without the appropriate inline RS ref. Unless - as I said before - the section already has an inline RS ref. Nice Cycling Team does not seem to have any ref, RS or otherwise, in that section.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:91CA:6C52:F374:E0CF (talk) 09:40, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The team ONLY existed for 2017 so the squad there will only be the 2017 squad. All articles you have deleted stuff from now have appropriate sources on them showing the roster. Paulpat99 (talk) 09:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Unreferenced articles February 2024 backlog drive
MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Welcome to the drive! Searching bicycle incategory:"All articles lacking sources" (link) gives an alarming number of bicycle related articles that are totally not cited, which you can cite them right now as a practice for the drive. You can take a look at the detailed instructions section on the drive page. Anyways, good luck on February 1! You will need it. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 02:20, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

After the sports career
Thanks for your swift reply. Thought I'd post here as it's nothing to do with that particular bio. Personally, I like working on sports bios when the person later has an interesting professional career. My best work in that area would be Lucien Brouha.  Schwede 66  21:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Usage of Ct
Hi, Ct has been moved to UCI team code per discussion at Template_talk:UCI_team_code. For future cycling related articles and/or edits, please use UCI team code as Ct will be usurped for Contentious topics as a redirect. All present usage of Ct in the mainspace and most, if not all, in the other namespaces has been updated to UCI team code. – robertsky (talk) 01:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
