User talk:Lincoln Owl

Welcome!

Hello, Lincoln Owl, 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 Callum Howe, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! JMHamo (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Callum Howe

The article Callum Howe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Has not made his first team appearance yet

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. JMHamo (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have this ready for when he does make his debut. So you don't need to waste time on this article. It's already prepared. Cheers.--Echetus Xe 14:42, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox dates

Hi, when updating infobox stats you should update the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats, by adding five tildes (~~~~~), which generates the specific time the update was made. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 22:44, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you make sure you use 5 tildes, rather than 4 please? Otherwise, it also adds your username (as it did on this edit). Thanks, Nzd (talk) 09:33, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018–19

Er... I imagine the new article you created, 2018–19 was supposed to have a more descriptive title? Could you either move it there or let me know what it should be and I can make the move? Thanks! Richard ⁰⁶¹² 08:52, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 2019–20 Lincoln City F.C. season

The article 2019–20 Lincoln City F.C. season has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Currently this article does not convey any information which warrants a seperate article on the subject. Further the article is unsourced and appears to fail WP:SEASONS at this time.

Final warning

You have been warned multiple times about your long history unconstructive edits, including adding unsourced information to BLPs.

2020-21 Sheffield Wednesday

Please stop reverting my edits to the top scorer section of the infobox. Please refer to the club seasons template on wiki project football and you will see players names should be included. Rupert1904 (talk) 21:39, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No response? I started a discussion on wikiproject football talk page so you can reply there and explain your edits.Rupert1904 (talk) 14:12, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at 2020–21 Sheffield Wednesday F.C. season shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Giant Snowman 15:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, Thank you for creating Billy Brooks (footballer). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Billy Brooks), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 16:44, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Korede Adedoyin

Firstly, playing in the EFL Trophy against a Premier League U21 team does not confer notability. Secondly, there were two drafts of Korede Adedoyin, so I am unsure why you created a mainspace article rather than moving one of them?! I have merged the three versions at Draft:Korede Adedoyin.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oisin Gallagher

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 Oisin Gallagher 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Rio Shipston moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rio Shipston, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rio Shipston (February 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by InterstellarGamer12321 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the sources in the article do not establish notability: they are primary sources or WP:ROUTINE coverage of the subject. Make sure to add secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject before resubmitting. This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON where the subject may become notable in the future but is not notable now.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Rio Shipston and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Adam Alimi-Adetoro moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Adam Alimi-Adetoro, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It should have at least 3 of those. Please remember that routine sports coverage does not satisfy GNG, and that interviews, being primary sources, do not go to notability either. 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.

Standard layout and formatting of career statistics tables

Hi Lincoln Owl. For footballer statistics tables, please use the standard table layout and formatting as outlined at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players. It is the result of past discussions of the community of football editors at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football.

I've made necessary changes at Dylan Duffy in this edit.

Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:15, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gentle reminder. The table at Anthony Musaba didn't use the standard table layout, I fixed that. Robby.is.on (talk) 14:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Durrant moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sam Durrant, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It should have at least 3 of those. Please remember that routine sports coverage does not satisfy GNG, and that interviews, being primary sources, do not go to notability either. 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.

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Lincoln Owl!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

About Draft:Pierce Charles

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Pierce Charles a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Pierce Charles. 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. Thank you. — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 10:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 15:07, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
