Hi there!

Hi Destiny, I see you've been updating a ton of Badgers articles lately. I just wanted to let you know that if you're a Badger fan feel free to add {{User:Dainomite/userboxes/NCAA-Wisconsin}} to your User page. If there's anything else I can help you with please feel free to ask. Cheers! And keep up the good work! — dain omite 14:35, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Destiny7awaits, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Nigel Hayes has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 19:49, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nigel Hayes

The article Nigel Hayes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:TOOSOON. At the moment, he does not meet the WP:NOTABILITY criteria

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wisconsin Badgers schedule

I guess I'm just curious why you reverted my edit on 2014-15 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team, when all I did was add the background to the conference tournament header to make it uniform with literally every other team's page. Skudrafan1 (talk) 20:56, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:2014-15 Big Ten Conference men's basketball standings

Hello there. You reverted my edit to {{2014–15 Big Ten Conference men's basketball standings}} with no stated reason. The Week 18 AP Poll, found here, moved Maryland up to #8 and dropped Ohio State from the rankings. So I'm not trying to start an edit war, and I'm assuming WP:GOODFAITH, but I will be reverting the template back to my previous version. Please let me know if you have any further concerns regarding these edits. WantaghNY (talk) 23:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind You took care of this. My apologies for bothering you. WantaghNY (talk) 23:54, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

This must be a mistake as I have been editing on this site for a few months now. I read the sock puppetry page and it sounds like I am making edits that some other user was making and now I am being confused with the previous blocked user. No problem, mistakes are made so I am asking please remove this block so I can continue to edit my favorite team, the Wisconsin Badgers. GO BADGERS!!!

Obvious sockpuppet account. only (talk) 02:15, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
