Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Lizard (talk) 23:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 Minnesota Vikings season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greg Zuerlein. 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.

Non-free rationale for File:Clemson Tigers logo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Clemson Tigers logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Marvin Lewis in 2017.jpeg


A tag has been placed on File:Marvin Lewis in 2017.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 04:41, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Quotations
Please don't change text within quotation marks - even to correct apparent errors - if it causes the quote to depart from the source material. You corrected a spelling at Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry‎, but the article text accurately reflected the source, and I changed it back. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 13:52, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, again, please don't add unsourced material to articles, as you did with this edit. If you think something in an article is misstated or needs to be fixed, find a source and include it.  Don't add something that you merely think is true, even if it seems sensible.  Thanks.  JohnInDC (talk) 15:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ben Coates, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 16:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Friend, you need to start taking greater care with your edits, and soon. I'm having to go in and revert or fix quite a few of them - and I'm not the only one who's having to undo your changes.  That alone should tell you that you are not going about things the right way.  JohnInDC (talk) 16:25, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

A belated welcome!


Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, RedsRock. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! JohnInDC (talk) 20:22, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.  Acroterion   (talk)   23:39, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This issue has been repeatedly raised here. Please stop adding obscure facts to articles without reliable sources to support them. JohnInDC (talk) 02:06, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 1998 Florida Marlins season, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 21:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2016–17 NFL playoffs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sunday Night Football ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/2016%E2%80%9317_NFL_playoffs check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/2016%E2%80%9317_NFL_playoffs?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

I've reverted your edit again, with the same comment this List article is not a controversy, while the 2012 NFL referee lockout article itself is already tagged as a controversy. UW Dawgs (talk) 19:21, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Non-free image use
Hi RedsRock. Not every image you see used on Wikipedia is licensed the same way and how a file is licensed pretty much determines how it may be used. Files licensed as non-free content are particularly tricky to use because each use of the file must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. The sports team mascot logos you're adding to individual season articles are licensed as non-free content. The non-free use of such logos is generally considered OK in the main article about a school athletic teams, but pretty much never considered acceptable for use in individual team articles. I've removed a few of these images per relevant Wikipedia policy, so please don't add any more to any individual team article if they are licensed as non-free. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:03, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Illinois–Michigan football rivalry
You recently moved Illinois–Michigan football series to a "rivalry" article. What was your basis for doing so? Where was this proposed move discussed? Cbl62 (talk) 21:26, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * (moved from my Talk page) I changed it to a "rivalry" page because I think it should be considered a "rivalry" instead of a "series".
 * The subject of the article is a historically significant series, but I have doubts as to whether it should be characterized as a "rivalry". Also, there does not appear to have been any discussion prior to the move.  Accordingly, I will revert the move.  You may open a discussion on the article talk page if you feel strongly that the article should be moved. Cbl62 (talk) 00:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your edit concerning the Ohio State-Northwestern game was changed back to Cleveland Stadium. There are some news articles about this.

Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Larry Hockett (Talk) 16:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Michael Irvin seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
