Your submission at Articles for creation: Martin Cimprich (Rugby Union) (April 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by DoubleGrazing were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable secondary sources. Currently no such source is cited. Also, please ensure that the contents are adequately supported by referencing. At the moment the first two paragraphs, and private personal details such as DOB, are unreferenced.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Martin Cimprich (Rugby Union) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Disambiguation link notification for April 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tom Lawday, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dorchester and England national rugby team. 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) 06:13, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on Neil Spence (rugby union)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Neil Spence (rugby union), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Dubai Exiles RFC moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dubai Exiles RFC, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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 "Draft:" 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.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:15, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Curtis82! Your additions to Dubai Exiles RFC have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 21:58, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Categorisation of articles

Hey, I see you've been busy creating a few articles on rugby union recently. Just so you know, the sport's main category (Category:Rugby union) is only for articles that cover the sport in a very general way and provide a foundational understanding of the sport. It's not appropriate to categorise individual players in that category, such as Alin Conache. Please remember this going forward. Thanks. – Pee Jay 13:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, will rectify. Thanks Curtis82 (talk) 06:28, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Benjamin Saunders (rugby union)

Hello Curtis82, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Benjamin Saunders (rugby union), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Benjamin Saunders (rugby union).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read.

Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Flags in infoboxes

Hi Curtis82, thanks for your edits on rugby union players and articles. They are much appreciated. One note of point though, please stop adding flags to infoboxes for player and other articles. It violates MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:17, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Rugbyfan22's comment and was about to post the same thing. Curtis82 (talk) would you, please, be so kind to remove the flag icons in all the articles where you added them to infoboxes? I already undid your edits to one player biography, before I discovered that you've added flag icons to many more articles in breach of MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. Ruggalicious (talk) 23:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curtis82, two months ago you were kindly asked to remove the flags from infoboxes where you had added them in breach of MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, as pointed out by Rugbyfan22. I notice you have not done this, so I'm asking you again to please remove those incorrectly added flag icons. Don't expect others to correct the mistakes you've made if you are aware of those mistakes. Thanks, Ruggalicious (talk) 21:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
