Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Seven-ball, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 16:09, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just want to let you know that my information is correct, and I did provide a photo on how to rack a game of Seven-Ball with a standard Fifteen-Ball triangle rack (which I took today as I was playing it). I also thought that the information on playing with the leftover balls when playing on a coin operated Pool table is useful too; I will provide photos at a later date.

Just a quick update, I've now supplied the photos I've taken showing the examples of how the leftover balls can be used when playing Seven-ball on a coin operated Pool table; I had a mothballed Pool table in the garage that's going up for sale soon.

I undid your edits to Seven-ball as your photos by themselves are wp:Original research. Your edits need to wp:Cite a wp:reliable source. Content on Wikipedia needs to be wp:verifiable (WP:V)See help:referencing for beginners. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 07:17, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your edit as it was unhelpful what you've just done. Please stop removing my changes that I did to improve the article. But I have now added a source as there is a video on YouTube showing the Seven-ball Final that shows a triangular rack being used for racking up the balls on 7-ball Pool. I hope that this will be okay. Samnewplace (talk) 08:51, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, I have now added my sources that show a standard Fifteen-Ball triangle rack being used to rack up a game of Seven-ball Pool; the two sources are YouTube videos that show the referee using the Fifteen-Ball triangle rack to rack up a game of Seven-ball Pool at the start of the match, one shows an unused object ball being used in the apex corner, and the other shows the cueball being used in the apex corner, before being rolled off after the triangle rack is lifted.

Notice of edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Seven-ball. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Your "added my sources" implies the sources are wp:self-published. As editors on Wikipedia are anonymous (unless you go through the trouble of getting a verified account), the quality of material on your YouTube account is unknown. Therefore, wp:V is not met. You need to wp:cite a wp:secondary source (or tertiary source) supporting your edits. If you want to reply to an editor, use Help:Notifications. Adakiko (talk) 19:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Saratoga Pool moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Saratoga Pool, 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.

Concern regarding Draft:Saratoga Pool

Hello, Samnewplace. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Saratoga Pool, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:01, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Winning Lines, 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. Neverrainy (talk) 23:37, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Neverrainy, the source is reliable because I added a link to the video on YouTube showing The National Lottery 10th Birthday Celebration, in which rounds from various lottery gameshows were made into one big special quiz show. Please stop undoing my edit. Here is the link to it if you haven't seen it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nm3WgJgJfT8 Samnewplace (talk) 08:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Neverrainy, I've added another source to go with the YouTube video, this is from BBC programme Index: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/61d7eda2238146c5acd423c6a5fd6f44 Samnewplace (talk) 08:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
