Hello, I'm Eagles247. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kyle Juszczyk, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Eagles 24/7 (C)  23:55, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ryan Fitzpatrick, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eagles 24/7 (C)  03:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Dude, I am about to cite a source. I got the link ready. Expect it within the next hour, Eagles247. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 03:40, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Players cannot sign with teams until March 17 at 4PM ET, and you are supposed to include citations with your edits anyway. Eagles 24/7 (C)  03:40, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I forgot. Thanks! I am a very new user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's okay, I've posted a welcome message below with some helpful links for you. Eagles 24/7 (C)  03:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Eagles 24/7, I made a minor update to Kyle Juszczyk. I changed the wording of one of the sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The title parameter in references is just supposed to be a direct copy-paste of whatever the title of the source is, it's not your own summary of the article. I've fixed it here. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  03:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Eagles247, can you tell me when I can change Andy Dalton's team to the Chicago Bears? Also, please tell me how they would announce it. That's ok, somebody already did it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Teams will announce it on their official websites using language like "we have signed..." or "it's official". If they say "agreed to terms" or "reportedly", it's not. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  19:58, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Re:Emmanuel Sanders
The deal with Sanders doesn't become official until later today at 4:00 PM EST. Unless the Bills already announced the signing then Sanders is still a free agent. Agreed to and signing to are different meanings. Check Reliable sources for more info. Swagging (talk) 12:29, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * To reiterate the above, signings aren't official until teams announce them. I'm reverting your changes from today. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  19:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Teams announcing "reports" are meaningless
The Patriots announcing that "reports" exist about Bourne signing with the team is not the same as the team announcing the move. Please see WP:RSBREAKING and WP:SPORTSTRANS and carefully read the sources before updating articles. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  23:13, 17 March 2021 (UTC) Thank you for telling me.

Adoption
Unfortunately I am going to have to unadopt you because I have run into personal issues and must take a WikiBreak. I am terribly and sorry, but know that you can still contact me for any quick questions through email. bop34 • talk • contribs 02:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022
Hello, I'm Muboshgu. Your recent edit to the page Russell Wilson appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:06, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

A Nice Thing to Do
I wanted to say I appreciate your note on my talk. I see through your edit summaries you have ambitions of bringing the ACW article to GA status and that's a worthy (but daunting) goal. Edit summaries are a useful way to "swing your elbows" so to speak and make space for yourself on pagespace. For something as lofty as bringing a very visible core content area article to good article status, you'll need help from the entire talk page community so you might look on the talk page for others who've attempted this feat.

I see you've recently lost a mentor. If I can fill any gaps, please call on me. I've been around a while and maintain the Portal:American Civil War. Don't be shy about asking for help. That's exactly how I got started, working on the ACW page and asking others for help. Glad to be there if you need someone to answer your questions. BusterD (talk) 05:06, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Eric Berry
please stop changing eric berry to free agent. I understand that Berry himself has said within the last year that teams have reached out to him and that he wishes to play again. none of that matters until he is brought in for an official workout with a team. he has not worked out with/been a member of an nfl team in over one year, which is why we list him as former. This is a standard that we follow for all players, so please refrain from changing this again. Bears247 (talk) 01:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Uh we literally discussed last month. Seriously bro stop it. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 02:52, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi SteelerFan1933 - you're right, Berry himself states he's not retired. Just wanted to let you know that most are in agreement with you, despite a persistent editor. Hey man im josh (talk) 22:48, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Votes
On Wikipedia, we avoid voting. We discuss using words like support, oppose, keep, delete, but these are not votes; they are assertions. If I were to rewrite your proposal on T:ACW, I'd stage it as a survey, not a vote. Many users use the abbreviation "!vote" to represent voting behaviors. BusterD (talk) 23:26, 15 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Done! Sorry about that! Let's begin remaking the article to be a good article. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 00:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Please remember to sign your talk page posts
It's always a bad sign when any editor fails to sign their posts, since it's not particularly difficult. Users have been blocked for consistently failing to sign posts. Good communication with others is huge here, especially helping if there's any sort of disagreement. A person wants to know who to shout at... BusterD (talk) 02:13, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I thought my posts get automatically signed. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 15:04, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

In my opinion, you were correct in taking Bears247 to AIV to admin attention
Since you and I are working together as mentor/mentee, I'm not inclined to help directly. On the other hand, their determination and refusal to participate in discussing these edits seems to indicate they are not willing to apply WP:Civility in a reasonable manner. Let's see what an uninvolved admin at AIV thinks. BusterD (talk) 02:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks! SteelerFan1933 (talk) 04:19, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Admin User:ToBeFree says: this is at the wrong board. And they are correct, I guess. They'd prefer to see a report at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring or if nothing else helps, WP:ANI (which I'd call a last resort). BusterD (talk) 13:38, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, hi, thanks for the ping! Yeah, AIV is for clear intentional disruption (vandalism) and obvious spam, but this rather seems to be a case of stubborn disruptive editing, perhaps a case of failing to get the point, or at least a case of edit warring. I didn't just remove the report, though! I have blocked the user for three months from editing the page in question. They have not made any edit since, so we can only guess if that helps with any other problems. If disruptive behavior extends to other articles or returns after the block, the specialized WP:ANEW or the general WP:ANI noticeboards are good places to report this. Face-smile.svg ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:25, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok! Thanks! SteelerFan1933 (talk) 19:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * We appreciate the direct explanation, User:ToBeFree. Relatively new user SteelerFan1933 is trying to learn how to do the right thing in a difficult content area. Not all the rough is worn away yet. As one might expect, our SteelerFan is not lacking in WP:BOLD so we're off to a great start, but we're bound to hit the sides of the track from time.

free agents
i’ve noticed that when you edit free agent pages such as tim tebow and eric berry, you capitalize “free agent” in the lead. make sure that you are leaving both of those as lower cases. thanks Bears247 (talk) 20:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Can User:ToBeFree confirm this? Because you're the guy who got banned for 3 months from editing Eric Berry. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 23:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I don’t need to confirm this. go over and look at any other nfl free agents page. You will see exactly what i told you. This ban is pretty ridiculous considering Berry hasn’t played in 3 years. Bears247 (talk) 02:31, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Seriously bro I get it. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 03:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

I’d appreciate it if you made this change then, as I can not. Bears247 (talk) 13:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Reply bro SteelerFan1933 (talk) 15:05, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

i’m here man. Take a look at any nfl free agent page. “free agent” is not capitalized in any leads Bears247 (talk) 20:09, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok ok stop it or I will report you for not accepting that I understood. There must be a rule in Wikipedia somewhere that says you can't do this. Anyways, excuse me, I have to edit Encanto (film) now. Bye! SteelerFan1933 (talk) 00:26, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Bears247 has a specific block for Eric Berry, but that does not include Talk pages. David notMD (talk) 09:34, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

At this point i’m understanding that i’m not going to change the fact that berry will be listed as a free agent, but please list him as a free agent correctly or i’ll have to bring another user into this Bears247 (talk) 13:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok bro i'll do it or i'll report you on WP:Aggression or something. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 15:45, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * That's pretty inappropriate to threaten another user in that way. You've already made a complaint on an admin's page about this issue (35 hours ago), posted on the talk page, and then you make this comment on a user's page? That's ridiculous. Get a grip, let it go and keep it on Eric Berry's talk page instead of this user's page. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:09, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you talking to me or to Bears247 Hey man im josh? SteelerFan1933 (talk) 19:18, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Not to you, talking about Bears247. Hey man im josh (talk) 02:05, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I apologize if anything here i said came off as aggressive. I did leave a message on the eric berry talk page but after i didn’t recieve a response I figured I would bring it to his user talk page. This is just an issue that is still unresolved and i’m just here trying to get everything sorted out. sorry again if anything I said came off as an aggressive or threatening tone. Bears247 (talk) 00:19, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * At this point i’m understanding that i’m not going to change the fact that berry will be listed as a free agent, but please list him as a free agent correctly or i’ll have to bring another user into this Bears247 (talk) 13:28, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You said that, not me. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 14:47, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

yes i did. I’m just wanting berry’s page to be formatted correctly Bears247 (talk) 16:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Why are you making this talk page section so messy bro? Stop it. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 18:58, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Julio Jones GA review
Sorry to bother you but when are you going to start reviewing Julio Jones, it's been almost a week since you took up the nomination. NSNW (talk) 15:12, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Ill do it soon SteelerFan1933 (talk) 16:41, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Anyways how do I do it again? I seriously don't know as this is my first nomination. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 17:24, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Look at the Good Article Instructions in the GA page, it will tell you everything you need to know. NSNW (talk) 01:04, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Please stop by the page again to arrange for its deletion, as you had wished to do. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:39, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you send me the link? I cannot find the good article nomination page. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 00:06, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You should be able to find the location in your own contribution history. And it's on the talk page of the article linked... BusterD (talk) 00:10, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, I got it. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 00:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Félix Madrigal


A tag has been placed on Félix Madrigal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Happy Editing-- IAm Chaos  04:42, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I probably should have kept it at a Draft. It definitely needs more than 2 sentences of content. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 04:48, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

This is edit warring
This page history (that you yourself brought to RfPP) says you're at 5 reverts. So that's a blockable offense, even if you are edit warring with someone who gets themselves blocked as well. If someone came along and blocked you I could not blame them. You do not cover yourself with glory when you act almost as recklessly as someone who is clearly not here to build an encyclopedia. Remember that any admin can make such an assessment and you would have no legs to stand on. Another issue: this is NOT a page protection issue. You should take edit warring to the WP:ANEW venue. Please take this as a lesson. BusterD (talk) 02:34, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have over-reacted a bit. Your reversions were good edits. All of them. The blocking admin endorses your position. I can admit when I'm wrong. But still, if you get into 3RR even for the best of reasons, be aware that things spiral out of control. I'm anxious NOT to see you blocked. We should talk more about how to better to use the noticeboards. I see you dealt weakly with a sock puppetry issue last week and we didn't talk about it. At your convenience. BusterD (talk) 03:14, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry about any inconveniences. I just wanted to make sure that UglyDolls was not the picture for the featured wikipedia article. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 03:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * What sockpuppetry issue are you talking about again? I can't quite remember what it was. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 03:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The edits being reverted were obvious vandalism, which falls under WP:NOT3RR. The process SteelerFan1933 was generally correct, although vandals are typically reported to WP:AIV after vandalism past final warnings, not just at first sign of vandalism. And we'd like to see warnings from the Template index/User talk namespace/Multi-level templates family as opposed to hand-written ones, especially until you gain more experience in this field. As BusterD said, no need to request page protection since this was one isolated vandal. This edit summary is borderline disruptive, however, and I suggest you keep edit summaries (and discussion posts) on topic. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b>  (C)  12:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, got it. I'm relatively new, so sometimes I go off the rails. I was right in reverting the edits to Coropuna but I got mad and edited the UglyDolls wikipedia page. On top of that, my edit summary was just some lyrics by a fictional person who isn't even in UglyDolls, Mirabel Madrigal (She's from Encanto, as you probably already know). My first edit to the article was disruptive and I would like to apologize. I will not do this disruptive editing again. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 16:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello! I saw and appreciated your edits on Encanto. I wanted to stop by and request that you make sure your edit summaries are clear and understandable. For example, "Removed the Thousand Days' War link because it was based on WP:OriginalResearch" is a clear, useful summary, thank you! But, for instance, "Made some edits I forgot to make earlier" is very vague and not really a sufficient explanation for removing two sourced sentences. There are others, but I don't need to list a ton of edits here for you to get the idea :) I strongly recommend taking a look at Help:Edit summary for further information, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Aerin17 (t • c) 04:02, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Got it! Thanks! SteelerFan1933 (talk) 04:17, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Cory Littleton, 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 your sandbox for that. Thank you. <b style="color:#004C54">Eagles</b> <b style="color:#004C54">24/7</b> (C)  21:39, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Ok, got it! SteelerFan1933 (talk) 22:37, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Pamzeis (talk) 14:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of John Johnson (safety)
The article John Johnson (safety) you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:John Johnson (safety) for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. —  Ghost River  18:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Dude! Before you nominate another page to GA, please consult me. I have no interest in being gatekeeper, but I do want you to experience some success in the reviewing process. In the case of this nominee, it appears to be a quick fail to my eyes as well. Let's choose an article about a person who interests you, get it to at least B-class, then submit to GA. I'm here to help. BusterD (talk) 19:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the idea! It was a week ago, but I believe that I want a successful good article, maybe something like Encanto later on when it is good enough. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 19:08, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * I like Encanto; I can see you're playing nice with folks trying to improve it. Good for you. IMHO, it's easier to build your first GA when it's less visible. I like one of the sports figures you've put up. But tell me first, why is Encanto only a C-class? In your opinion, what basic information is missing which would bring it up to B-class? This is not a trick question. What do you see missing? BusterD (talk) 22:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe you've avoided my question. I've asked you to identify why the article hasn't been rated "B" class. Is there something missing? How would you know? This is not a test. If you aren't sure, where would you look? If you haven't already, go over to WikiProject Film/Assessment. The criteria for each kind of rating are clearly listed under each type. Read that. Then come back and re-read Encanto. What is missing in the article? When was the last time it was rated? BusterD (talk) 16:42, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I have zero clue why Encanto isn't B-class. Sorry for avoiding your question. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 18:43, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Encanto should definitely be a B-class article. SteelerFan1933 (talk) 18:44, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Declarative statements don't help us improve pagespace. Let's use the criteria written in the B-class assessment table I linked. BusterD (talk) 19:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)


 * B-class criteria (evaluating Encanto film article):
 * 1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. (yes or no)=
 * 2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. (yes or no)=
 * 3. The article has a defined structure. (yes or no)=
 * 4. The article is reasonably well-written (yes or no)=
 * 5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. (yes or no)=
 * Write your opinion after the equals sign in each numbered criteria. We'll talk when you're done. Don't worry about signing here; it's your page, you can do what you want.

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter
The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * 1) Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
 * 2) 🇨🇽 AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
 * 3) Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
 * 4) Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
 * 5) Vexilloid of the Roman Empire.svg Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
 * 6) Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
 * 7) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
