[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add content to Wiki pages, particularly biographical ones, as you did at Nile Ranger, without citing a reliable source (in accordance with the large red notice at the top of the edit window). Please see WP:RS and WP:REFB for more information.
Here are a few good links to getting started :-

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or you can type {{helpme}}
on your user page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Eagleash (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dwight Gayle, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:37, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Conor McLaughlin, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:28, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Harry Toffolo. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

[edit]This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Ryan Brunt (footballer), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Unsourced content. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:38, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
The article Manny Parry has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has 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/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

The article Manny Parry has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

SportingFlyer talk 11:39, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Disambiguation link notification for August 6
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2017–18 Bristol Rovers F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kyle Bennett (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:47, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:James Morton (footballer, born 1999), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:23, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:James Morton (footballer, born 1999)
[edit]Hello, Jacobbowless. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "James Morton".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 15:25, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
