Rollback
[edit]Remember, it's for clear cases of vandalism, not undoing one's own edits (e.g. as was done here). Cheers, NJA (t/c) 07:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Re: Harvin
[edit]Yeah, but I think the NFL would have announced him as a starter instead. I think they're treating him as a replacement player/alternate. Pats1 T/C 03:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Re MOS
[edit]Hi!
1) All of the examples here omit the exact birthplace from the first sentence, so I think that's what we're supposed to do. However, you can mention the birthplace later in the article.
2) Nicknames can be bolded. See the Dr. Drew example here.
If you have any other questions, let me know! Zagalejo^^^ 22:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Tiebreaker
[edit]If you can find info on the broadcasters, absolutely, that's pertinent information. But quote sections really violate WP:QUOTE (admittedly an essay not a hard policy) which includes "Do not insert any number of quotations in a stand-alone quote section." More basically Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information. If there is a specific quote that is sourced and directly relevant to the subject, like the Rollins quote I've left in 2009 World Series, then awesome. But a general quote section filled with "XYZ HAS DONE IT! XYZ IS THE ABC CHAMPION" - [Announcer] adds nothing and are, at least here, unsourced. Staxringold talkcontribs 20:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
2010 World Cup
[edit]I do agree that some of the content – including the controversies, etc. – could be split off into separate articles, but I do not think that including {{footballbox}}es for the group games would be a good idea, as the article would get too big. The older World Cup articles do include them for the group matches, but although it may not seem like it, they are in the process of being migrated to sub-articles. – PeeJay 06:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Carlos Eugenio Simon
[edit]Hey, thanks for dealing with the vandal who keeps changing the links to Carlos Eugênio Simon. Does that guy not have a life or something? – PeeJay 20:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Niitty middle name
[edit]Hi, I am updating citations in the Antero Niittymäki article and I was wondering if you had a source for his middle name, since you are the one who added it? I tried googling but now it is just results of caches of the wiki article... Hazelorb (talk) 03:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well that site is cited on multiple Olympics wikipedia articles so I will use it! Thanks! I wish the Flyers had more material online. There are still 4 or 5 articles they deleted when they moved to nhl.com that I can't find anymore... Hazelorb (talk) 04:11, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Michael Beasley
[edit]I was able to get the profile link to show up by removing a few fields in the infobox: [1] (I don't understand why I had to do that; someone like User:LOL would know more about the technical details.)
As far as the high schools go, I don't think there's any consensus or consistency. I wouldn't mind if you included all six schools, but it's up to you. Zagalejo^^^ 03:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 28
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited Mathew Dumba, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Romanian and Filipino (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Park Ji-sung. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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.
