If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 02:45, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Music wikiproject

Hi! I can't give you much advice on the Alternative Music wikiproject itself, as I stopped being heavily involved around 2008 when I (sadly :P) got a full-time job. It seems as though the alternative music crew lost steam around 2012, but there are plenty of other current active projects. My advice would just be to look at articles for your favourite musicians / bands / topics and see if there's any flagged issues to address (they'll use link to some wiki guidelines or policy that you can work off). I hope you have fun editing Wikipedia! - Phorque (talk) 11:16, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of current members of the United States House of Representatives, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Highland, Indiana. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned refs on Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district

Hey, I noticed you added some recent results to the article Wisconsin's 2nd congressional district. I appreciate this - however, you didn't properly copy the references from whichever articles you copied from, so they show up as citation errors. Would you mind fixing this? (also, please keep in mind that you should generally mention which articles you copy content from within your edit summary, when copying within Wikipedia) Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 02:37, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in your edit of 04:28, 25 January 2021 of Maryland's 2nd congressional district, you introduced three named references not defined in this article. Please fix. —Anomalocaris (talk) 17:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Examples should specifically be attributed to sources that do not fall under self-sourcing examples. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited that are not a primary source, and that discuss the example's significance in the context of the topic of the article. Thank you. -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:55, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the rosters but they were not done properly as you can see when you check how the other ones were formatted. I will get to it later on. Kante4 (talk) 15:44, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Washington's 3rd congressional district.

Hello AmeriMike, I noticed you've re-added Marie Gluesenkamp Perez to the "List of members representing the district" section in Washington's 3rd congressional district. However, we're not supposed to add these new members until they've been sworn in (on January 3) since they have yet to take office. Also, Beutler is listed as the incumbent in that list at the same time, which obviously is not the case. Thanks, Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 16:31, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Augusthorsesdroppings10,

I was following the precedent set by other district pages, which also list incoming new members, but understand if you want to remove her until January 3rd. AmeriMike (talk) 00:42, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Christina Vidal edit

I have reverted your addition of an unsourced date of birth to Christina Vidal. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published, non-primary source. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:46, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Christina Vidal and the accompanying citation to IMDb. That source is not reliable. Please see WP:IMDB for comments about it. You might also want to read WP:USERGENERATED to see names of some other Web sources that are similarly unreliable. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:41, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ice hockey rosters at the Winter Olympics

Hello! Can you add all the shirt numbers for the players in Ice hockey tournaments at the Winter Olympics from 1984 to 1994 and also how many games they played, how many points they ended up with, penalty minutes and so on. And also the playing positions they if they were goalies, centres and forwards. 80.212.169.202 (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I left any rosters without jersey numbers, that's because I wasn't able to find a reliable source for the numbers (it seems like you have for Norway -- assuming that has numbers for other teams I'd be happy to add them if you can forward your source along to me). As far as I can tell, with few exceptions, I already list their positions. And as far as stats go -- those aren't listed for any of the Olympic hockey roster pages, or any of the roster pages for international team sports competitions like Olympics basketball, the WBC, World Juniors, etc. So unless you want to completely overhaul how that's all done I'm a little confused by the ask here. AmeriMike (talk) 16:43, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again! It is possible to find team roster data in the official Olympic reports as such. It is also possible to find the numbers at Olympedia. 80.212.169.202 (talk) 16:57, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
