April 2017

Hello, I'm Sekyaw. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Alberto Del Rio, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Sekyaw (talk) 21:09, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cacau, 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. --Jaellee (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NBA trades/signings

The reason these aren't updated until reported by the teams is that the League has to review them and sometimes they don't happen (the league rejects them, somebody fails a physical, etc). Please don't update player articles until the deal is finalized (i.e. - reported by the team(s) involved). The news' job is to report signings as they happen to get the scoop. This isn't a news site, it's an encyclopedia so having these updated immediately is less important than updating them when the results are official.

Brazilian footballers named "Filho"

This comment concerns the addition of the {{Portuguese name}} template to articles about Brazilian footballers. I noticed this old change of yours to Saulo Ribeiro. Thanks for adding his full name, Saulo Mendonça Ribeiro Filho to the Infobox, as you picked up from the reference; that was helpful.

However, I just wanted to let you know that "Filho" literally means "son", and is used in the same way a person in an English-speaking country might use "Jr." (Junior) as a suffix after his name, to indicate that he has the same name as his father. So, his paternal family name is not "Filho", but "Ribeiro", I just wanted to let you know, because I notice you've edited a lot of articles about footballers. Going forward, if you run into more Brazilian footballer articles, if you could please take a few extra moments to check the reference, to see if the 'Filho' is a suffix meaning "Junior" or not, before adding the {{Portuguese name}} template so we don't misidentify their family name, that would be great. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 20:30, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Viktor Johansson article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. Giant Snowman 11:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
