Removal of offseason/free agency in 2024 Commanders season article

Hello fellow fan. I see that you removed the Offseason section from the 2024 Commanders season article and tagged WP:INDISCRIMINATE to justify the removal. I'm curious as to how the tables in the 2024 Baltimore Ravens season can remain if this is the case. This also applies to past seasons with the Ravens, 49ers, and Chiefs where player additions and departures are recorded and sourced, within similar tables I inputted for the Commanders, in their respective articles. Would this not provide more in-depth coverage of the 2024 Commanders season if offseason player movement was recorded and credibly sourced? Vataxevader (talk) 23:39, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is why other team pages include it. I simply don't have time to maintain 32 pages in addition to fixing all previous seasons as well. My issue isn't with it being sourced, it's how much of it is important enough to cover since some editors could cite and add every single transaction. If WP:NFL could come up with some written guidelines, it would help a ton. Maybe I could present something in the next few days. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 15:31, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Stop removing "career" from the "College career" headings please. This has literally been the standard for years, not sure why you are removing it all of the sudden. Yankees10 23:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Career" implies a relation to a profession, occupation, trade, or vocation, not amateur sports that can only be played by students. I'll stop removing them since NILs have blurred the line on the amateur part. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 15:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you always act as if the NAVGTR Awards never existed?

In the Sea of Stars article, I wrote that the game was nominated for "Gameplay Design, New IP" and "Game, Original Role Playing" at the NAVGTR Awards, as shown in the link here, but you always remove the evidence by claiming that the NAGVTR Awards are "not notable"! You always act as if the NAVGTR Awards never existed! If that's the case, then I suppose you'll want to remove the "NAVGTR Awards" section from the Video game award, since you claim that the NAVGTR Awards are not notable, so you'll wipe out all evidence of its video game nominations and winners through the years! You never care about the NAVGTR Awards' existence at all! --Angeldeb82 (talk) 16:35, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Angeldeb82 WP:VG/AWARDS, part of the manual of style, says to exclude awards from non-notable shows. This isn't about recognizing the existence of NAVGTR, but about the fact that NAVGTR is not a notable topic on Wikipedia per WP:N/WP:GNG. Please try not to be so defensive on behalf of a organization. -- ferret (talk) 16:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So that's it? Should I remove all the NAVGTR Awards nominations from all video game articles, including Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical? Angeldeb82 (talk) 16:58, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From tables, yes. They can remain in prose per WP:VG/AWARDS. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 18:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. BTW, Bringingthewood removed the awards from prose for no reason, so I restored them to prose again. Angeldeb82 (talk) 04:37, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Out of context

Hello, D93. Just didn't want you to take what I said in that edit summary, (J.J), out of context. This has been bothering me. I wanted to get the point across that your name should be the correct spelling. Don't poke the bear etc. Not that I had a gripe over a year ago and had to mention that. Hope you understood my intent. Good luck with what's going on here. Stay well, Bringingthewood (talk) 01:46, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it man, I really only care about improving articles and don't take things here personally. I can't even remember what gripe we had anyway. Let's continues to make NFL articles better; the draft is certainly going to keep us busy for a while. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 10:55, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Believe me, I mentioned about our interaction, (Chase Young - April 2022), only because I wanted to let this person know that others could have a dispute and eventually move on, like don't slip in jabs when not needed. When I said ******* name, I meant that I never played games, I remembered how to spell your name 'while reverting', not in a vendetta type way, lol. You guys seemed to be going at it and I wanted him to stop poking. Well, good luck with all that you're doing and hope the draft treats you well! Bye for now. John.

Second overall pick template/category

I don't see why the second overall pick needs it's own template/category. Being the second overall pick isn't nearly as notable as being first and not much different from being third or fourth. It's WP:TCREEP. Is the plan to do this for every selection in the first round? Yankees10 17:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion should be directed at the primary article, which I unsuccessfully nominated for deletion a while ago. As long as the article remains however, the templates and navboxes serve a purpose. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 17:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

D93

Hey, I saw you’re Dwayne Haskins comment and edit regarding Big Ten Most Valuable Player. I know now with that redirect MOS:NOPIPE applies to the way I piped the recent MVP winners. I was really just seeing if anybody would object to the naming, and nobody has. My question to you is, how exactly would I give my edit explanation for changing Chicago Tribune Silver Football on the older pages? I.e Dick Butkus, with no big ten pipe. Is there an article/link that would help, or just do what I did before and just explain in writing that its the most commonly used vernacular and understanding of the award. Centurion Seraph (talk) 17:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could just link back to WT:NFL discussion showing there is consensus for that format, either directly in the edit summary or the talk page if debated. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 14:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you D93. I appreciate the help. Centurion Seraph (talk) 17:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dota 2 FAC

Have you considered nominating Dota 2 as a Featured Article candidate? It's been in phenomenal state for years and it's mostly owed to you at this point. Also, I re-reviewed the closing reviewers' comments and, eight years later, I still feel like their rationale was full of shit & patronizing. BOTTO_(T•C) 18:08, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see you still around, I know you've always thought my work on the article was quality. In my head it's been a featured article this entire time, but I suppose it is a shame an overzealous reviewer prevented it from being officially recognized as such. I haven't really played the game since 2022 and it seems like nobody else has really heavily maintained it since then. But assuming that gets fixed by an active player of the game (that wouldn't be you, would it?), I can try to nominate it again. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of Dota 2, check out my latest contribution. I kind of like adding a bit more of the game's history, where we learn more about who it was pitched to and what led to Valve. BOTTO_(T•C) 16:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the removal of content from the 'Minnesota Vikings' section and other sections of the Rick Spielman wiki

Hey man, could you add the section that you deleted back? I have a source, I just didn't get to it today. The players I mentioned are indeed generational talents. In addition, what source would I have to cite to say that JJetas is a generational talent? Have you watched the man play or seen his stats?? I'm willing to compromise and say that "Rick Spielman drafted several All-Pro players" or something like that. Also, the attendance of a High School is significant for Personal Life. I really don't understand why you deleted that. Shaw092002 (talk) 03:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: disregard what I said, your revision was good and allowed me to do something better imo. appreciate it. Shaw092002 (talk) 03:54, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hitoshi Sakimoto

Regarding Hitoshi Sakimoto page that you've removed Wizardry: Prisoners of the Battles / The Five Ordeals, how's these games lack an article or third-party citation? Please look at citation 5 site and search the word "ウィザードリィ", he was actually involved in those games and the soundtrack (ウィザードリィ外伝戦闘の監獄 & 五つの試練 Audio Collection). Gamerhenky (talk) 09:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He only did the ending theme for Prisoners of the Battles and a town theme for Five Ordeals according to said OST. As Sakimoto maintains a comprehensive worklist on Basiscape's website, I removed non-notable/minor entries from the list that lacked third-party reliable sources per WP:NOTDB. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 15:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the creation of an article for Lance Newmark

Hey,

I just wanted to know if there has been anyone who was started on a draft to create an article for Lance Newmark. He's served as an executive in the NFL for a long time and has a high-ranking position with the Commanders, which should make him worthy of an article, right? MuteebKhann2003 (talk) 22:44, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to make one when he was first hired but I remember not finding much despite his long history with the Lions. Maybe newer sources can help now? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:46, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your removal of a redlink

At [1] I restored the redlink that you deleted from the Overwatch article. I checked the Wikipedia help pages, and in WP:RED it's clear that redlinks are useful (as pointers to where new articles should be created about notable subjects) and they should only be deleted by another editor "if you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on that subject."

Your rationale had nothing to do with the notability of the subject, who is an award-winning author with many books, but just said "no reason to have a redlink here. if an article is eventually created, then it can easily be re-linked". According to consensus Wikipedia editing guidelines, that is not a good reason to remove a redlink. In fact, the guideline says "(Red links) are not only acceptable, but needed in articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it."

The reason I had added that redlink was because (in editing a different article), I was inserting wikilinks for various authors who were finalists for a writing prize. This one author, out of many, didn't yet have a Wikipedia article, even though I found numerous articles that already referred to the author or their books. Since I was already looking at the Overwatch article that referred to the author (and contained a paragraph about one of his books), it was easy to spend a minute and insert the redlink here too.

Please don't delete redlinks unless there is a good reason to do so. Thank you. Gnuish (talk) 07:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you planning to make an article on her? The same guideline states red links should only be added "to indicate that a page will be created soon or that an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable." Being a finalist (not the winner?) for a writing prize (how prestigious?) doesn't necessarily indicate notability and thus article creation. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 13:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the discussion! I am not immediately planning to make an article on Nicky Drayden. She qualifies under the guideline you quoted because "an article should be created for the topic because the subject is notable and verifiable." If you click the redlink above and then click "search for an existing article" you'll find twelve Wikipedia articles that mention this author in relation to her work. The editors who put her into those articles thought she was notable. I do too. WP:ANYBIO says any person is notable if "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times". She won the 2018 Compton Crook Award, and was a finalist for the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for Speculative Fiction, both of which are established, multi-decade, significant awards, one for gender-related fiction and the other for debut novels. Here's a review of one of her novels in reliable source Kirkus Reviews; there are more. After looking at her mentions, do you agree? ~ Gnuish (talk) 06:53, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for linking the awards, she definitely qualifies for a potential article with those. I only questioned it because I've seen people make the same exact argument based on fan awards from blogs. I still personally think redlinks should only be used when an article's creation or a redirect is imminent (within a week or so), as it remaining one for months defeats the whole purpose. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 00:03, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RLCS: Final Scores and Flags

Hello Dissident93, concerning the RLCS Article: I understand that the player Names are too much for Wikipedia (not my Idea, just continued it). But I think we can have the final Score, it isn't too much information and does not widen the table too much, also it is not a lot of maintenance work. I inserted the flags since RLCS is more and more about regions battling each other. In the end, tournaments are always a matter of pride, and though eSports is not necessarily a common Sport, statements such as "take that, Europe!" (Announcer during Karmine Corp vs G2) make it a matter of national Pride. Also, concerning inappropriate flag use, tournaments are the one occasion where they really fit in (and are used in the correct way). Thats why I propose we add Flags in the RLCS Table. I personally also think it's visually more appealing. Joko2705 (talk) 15:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:WORDPRECEDENCE, the players/organizations don't represent nationalities in the RLCS. The scores can be re-added though since they are allowed on other sporting pages. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:52, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
