Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Dr Clyde Crashcup, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as File:Vancouver Venom jersey.jpg, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Vancouver Venom jersey.jpg

[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Vancouver Venom jersey.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/fpldj2/info_needed_north_american_league_199596/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

North American League (hockey) moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, North American League (hockey), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Teamball

[edit]

Hello. You add information about the National Teamball League in the article Handball in the United States. But what has Teamball with handball in common? In my understanding this are two differed sports.--Malo95 (talk) 09:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From what I understand, teamball was an "Americanized" version of team handball, with a smaller ball and a faster-paced game. There's very little information available about the NTL; I remember watching it as a kid growing up in suburban Detroit. (I even tape-recorded the intro of the only televised match!) Dr Clyde Crashcup (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer I did also some digging and you are right it was similar to handball. Could you write in the article a sentence that teamball is based on team handball but not exactly the same?
I found in the newspaper Charlestown Patriot and Somerville Chronicle some information about the Boston Comets and two games in February. In conclusion there were more then the one game which you menioned. 25 January 1979 Page 12 and 8 February 1979, Page 8
I'm not able to link the documents directly because the document host is registered as spam at wikipedia. Malo95 (talk) 13:30, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great find! I'll update the article as soon as I can! Dr Clyde Crashcup (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Important Notice

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

1982 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships

[edit]

I don't get it, are you mentioning the USA finish because they were the host, or are we describing the finish of all the teams. During the group play era of the juniors the USA were the 6th best nation, it is not particularly notable.18abruce (talk) 16:39, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sixth place seems pretty poor for a host team. But whatever. Dr Clyde Crashcup (talk) 17:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose you could say that a team that had Vanbiesbrouck, Chelios, and Housley may have expected to do better but I have never seen anything that even commented on their performance at that tournament.18abruce (talk) 17:28, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I should have started by thanking you for the added content on this page and the world championship page, it is appreciated.18abruce (talk) 18:22, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, is there a source for the information about Lewis's ERA which you added to List of Major League Baseball players with unidentified given names? It would be helpful if you could include it in the article if so. Thanks. Hatman31 (talk) 01:58, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to New York Golden Blades, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Echoedmyron (talk) 23:48, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Baynes Barron edit

[edit]

I have again reverted your addition of unsourced content to Baynes Barron. Your edit summary that accompanied restoration of the text in question says, "It's mentioned in other Wikipedia articles". However, content in each article has to have its own citations. If the other articles that you mentioned contain adequate citations for the text in question, you can include one or more of the citations if you wish to restore the text. If the text in question is not adequately sourced, then it should be removed from those articles. Wikipedia itself is never an adequate source. WP:USERGENERATED Eddie Blick (talk) 02:59, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an appropriate source for Wikipedia? Well, okay, then. Dr Clyde Crashcup (talk) 15:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, unfortunately it is not appropriate. The problem is that anybody can add anything to a Wikipedia article. Without a citation, we have no way of knowing whether the content is correct.
Another section that deals with not using Wikipedia as a source is WP:CIRCULAR. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:52, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pete Compton

[edit]

Please read WP:BURDEN (All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution) and MOS:WEASEL (Claims about what people say, think, feel, or believe, and what has been shown, demonstrated, or proved should be clearly attributed.) Every statement added to an article that is likely to be challenged/questioned must be cited. Entire sections risk being removed as they are completely unsourced, but especially lines that are straight-up opinions, or a source is mentioned but not presented or cited correctly:

  • "Sporting Life magazine once described Compton as "a good-natured, easy-going Texan"." (What issue? please cite the specific edition and page number of Sporting Life)
  • "He is the only player in MLB history with the real first name of 'Anna'" is WP:ORIGINAL unless backed up by a reliable source.
  • Words/phrases like "Unsurprisingly," "quite fitting," "Compton could hit," and "his defense was questionable" would be words to avoid.
  • The entire line about Lou Proctor the phantom ballplayer needs to be backed up by a reliable source.
  • Lines like "This would be Compton's biggest impediment to becoming a major league star..." Again this needs to be cited. It might be one's opinion that this why he didn't last in the majors, but it needs to be attributed to a reliable source in order to be presented as fact here.

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Pittsburgh Canons. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. In this case, because you were clearly correct that the title was a misnomer, I have gone ahead and carried out the page move. signed, Rosguill talk 05:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
