A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
For your recent work on sporting events articles. Rosiestep (talk) 02:03, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Wow! Many thanks! This is really nice! Great to start my cleaned talk page with a barnstar. :-) Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 07:29, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wang Haibo

The article Wang Haibo has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Racing drivers

I have to admit I am a bit confused by your recent streak of article creations regarding drivers who participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I have no problem with short stub articles, but the ones you are creating barely even seem to qualify as that. There is absolutely nothing to them besides a birth date, a nationality, and a profession (many of whom probably had other professions are gentlemen drivers), and a few occasional categories. The source you are using, DriverDB.com, even gives more information on where drivers have raced, particulars on series they participated in and when they participated in them, as well as results. Heck, we even have a Le Mans template that could easily be filled giving information on when certain drivers ran at Le Mans and for whom, all of which would be easily obtained. I'm sorry, but if you have a source that you are using to create these Name-Date-Nationality-Race Driver stubs that offers more information, why not take the extra second to add that information so that the article is more than 10 words in length? Surely quality is far preferable to quantity? The359 (Talk) 21:54, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Iryna Gayvoronska

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Iryna Gayvoronska requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Abody97 (talk) 11:14, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Date of birth missing category

Hi! I've just modified the categories in Alfonso Stoopen one of the article you created. you used Category:Date of birth missing instead of Category:Year of birth missing. Category:Date of birth missing should only be used when the year of birth is known, but not the day and month. The description in the Category gives a more complete explanation. Similar comments apply to the corresponding death categories. As you create a lot of sports biographies I thought that I should flag this to you. --Quiet Editor (talk) 18:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Team stats

They are useless and pointless info, at least in that form and in that page, so if you really want that info put it on the national football team page or on the season of national football page and please think about a layout which can be understandable, that colors are quite incomprensible. Stigni (talk) 11:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Here we go again: link to disambiguation page

Can you explain to me how I can solve links to disambiguation pages as the one in this template: Template:Canada FH Squad 2008 Summer Olympics. The template links to Canada national field hockey team, but I still don't have a clue how to fix this. As this happens more often, I like to learn the trick to fix it myself. The Banner talk 22:22, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi! No problem! I have corrected the link by adding a line with "gender", this now shows the correct link. I hope this helps? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

football infobox

I see you ran out of Olympians to create articles about. Could you use the current football infobox, {{Infobox football player}}. Please don't tell me you are trying to catch Blofeld's current record. Bgwhite (talk) 07:43, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi! No, there are still enough Olympians, but doing the same all the time is borring... Football is also of interest!? And yes, I will do so - using the current football infobox - and no, I will not try to catch him... Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 10:24, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve Leopold Czejka

Hi, I'm Olowe2011. Doma-w, thanks for creating Leopold Czejka!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The page you created, Leopold Czejka is very short. It would be ideal to expand it further. If you need assistance with this please don't hesitate to contact me on my Talk Page.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 13:58, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

U.S. Olympic swimmers

Greetings, Doma. I've been working on the series of U.S. swimmer asrticles, too, since the Olympics in August. I've been trying to standardize the formatting of all 600+ of them, and systematically layer in the various references that are available while adding the a sort minimalist substance to each of the article regarding their college and Olympic swimming careers.

Tonight, I noticed that you've started creating new articles again, filling in the missing athletes from the team roster navboxes. Glad to see that you're doing it, but I need to ask a small favor: could you please use the American-style MDY dates in the lead sentence birth date parenthetical and persondata template? These are, after all, American athletes, and it will save another editor the time and trouble of making the change later. Thanks, and keep up the good work. Regards, Dirtlawyer2: Olympics (talk) 03:15, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I will try to remember! :-) Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 22:06, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm MattAster. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Rudolf Droz, and have un-reviewed it again. If you've got any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Thanks, MattAster

Speedy deletion nomination of Rudolf Droz

Hello Doma-w,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rudolf Droz for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, MattAster (talk) 20:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Willy Krauß or Willy Krauss?

Hi Doma-w. Have a think about it, and then lets talk. --Shirt58 (talk) 13:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I think it is easy, the correct spelling is Krauß. German footballers should be also shown with their correct spelling, like e.g. Category:Latvian politicians? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 13:25, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Heads up

You create a lot of stubs from sports-reference.com pages. Try using their information more efficiently. A characteristic example, Cyro Delgado. His full name is Cyro Marques Delgado, and he is known as Cyro Marques, i.e. there was a high probability that someone would create Cyro Marques and then collapse your stub into a redirect. If you took his full name from the source and placed into the lead then wikisearch would highlight your stub. Names are important – they are misspelled and mistransliterated (at sports-reference.com too).

  • Take complete name string from sports-reference.com for the lead – many people are known by their nicknames rather than full names, and sports-reference.com usually lists both variants;
  • add original name, e.g., as Oleksiy Stepanovych Barkalov (Ukrainian: Олексій Степанович Баркалов; born ... in ...) – "wrong" transliteration hides names;
  • use proper page titles in your reference instead of generic "Olympics";
  • add birth place where available;
  • add little details, e.g., that he won a bronze medal in the 4×200 m freestyle relay at the 1980 Summer Olympics, not just "competed in the 1980 Summer Olympics and in the 1984 Summer Olympics"
  • mind that sports-reference.com uses transliteration instead of English in the location of the Games; for example, Moskva, instead of Moscow (or Москва if they wished to stick with original names); München instead of Munich, etc.

This is all so easy, and will improve your work. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 03:40, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Gordon Morrison

   Perhaps you are being overly timid in creating bios: Gordon Morrison was a Rdr to a fic-char, and i've converted it to an no-primary-topic Dab; if someone shows evidence that there is a primary topic, it can become a Rdr to the skier or (again) to the fic-char. But even in that case, there has to be a HatNote Dab wherever the Rdr points: so that users don't have to do a search to find the skier's bio, as it seems was the case when you were done).

2001 International Formula 3000 season

Perfect? Did you even read the WP policy document I recommended to you? Also the "for years" defence has never been considered acceptable, it also suggests that the article has just escaped appropriate scrutiny "for years". Two tables is excessive, three is misunderstanding what Wikipedia is for.

The reason why Formula One articles do not have tables for race results and a separate table displaying points is because it is excessive statistics. I invite you again to have a read of WP:NOTSTATS.

Also reverting a change three times in 24 hours is a violation of three-revert rule, a violation for which you can have your editting priveleges suspended. If you have a problem with an article change, don't revert it, discuss it. Revert it after the discussion if that is the conclusion of the discussion. --Falcadore (talk) 14:22, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

June 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2001 International Formula 3000 season. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:46, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Can you do Wikipeida two favours?

a) Have a read of Wikipedia:Your first article.
and
b) Never again create a single sentence article.
