Disambiguation link notification for March 31
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited WrestleMania 31, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pat Patterson. 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.

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. Tabercil (talk) 22:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Sanity
[edit]Per consensus at [1], do not use unusual capitalizations unless they're near-universally used by independent sources, as that shows how it is used in general use, not promotional ones owned by a company, which have a self-promotional purpose. I know copy-paste comment While ESPN, F4W, Sky Sports, Slam Wrestling do use capitalizations, other sources, like pwinsider, pwtorch, prowrestling.net don't. Due to sources bring mixed, we default to standard capitalization. Nickag989talk 18:38, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Nickag989: Do we have a consensus? All I see is one guy claiming a very questionable use of WP:MOSTM, which while being the official policy IMO is not particularly useful here since we're not talking about corporate brands, we're talking about a pro wrestling team and characters on a TV show. It also implies that for some reason we should discount official WWE sources, which to me is bizarre to say the least since that literally is the official source on this matter and resource we use for ring names, match results etc. And even if we are using WP:MOSTM, I would consider the overwhelming array of sources using the captalization to be enough to satisfy that, certainly seems weird that you would have three individual reporters from relatively small websites using improper capitalization and that being able to overrule WWE on what their own characters names are, as well as much larger and more reputable sources like ESPN, Wrestling Observer, Sky Sports etc etc. Also, the WWE roster template that you reverted literally has reDRagon, with that capitalization, right next to SAnitY. So yeah, maybe we should properly attempt to find a consensus on this because it's pretty ridiculous to continue using the improper capitalization IMO. Dannys-777 (talk) 19:51, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- The "Yeah yeah, mainstream websites are more popular than any other pro wrestling sites unless WWE" is still an understatement. However, even some of them, like uproxx, and forbes are still using the default capitalization. Nickag989talk 20:13, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Nickag989: The official source and the majority of third-party sources use SAnitY rather than Sanity but that's not the point, the point is that using WP:MOSTM in this way is not helpful because it means that we end up with a minority of unaffiliated third parties effectively telling WWE and the wrestlers what their own team is called. At the end of the day if WWE bills the team as SAnitY then that's what it's billed as, they are the ones who make the decision, not some random guy writing for pwtorch.

Orphaned non-free image File:South Wales Ironmen logo.svg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:South Wales Ironmen logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Steve Cutler (disambiguation)
[edit]A tag has been placed on Steve Cutler (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
