Lakers–Suns rivalry edits

Hi AlPhA, thank you very much for creating a page for the Phoenix/Los Angeles rivalry. A page dedicated to that was way overdue, so I was about to start creating one until I found yours. So I’m glad you volunteered to do it. Anyway, I made some edits to the opening paragraph. I thought I’d sneak in that factoid about the Suns and Lakers being each others’ nearest geographic rival (besides the Clippers for the Lakers), but I am aware that 375 miles would not qualify a matchup as a geographic rivalry in most parts of the country. Thanks again! Jewel15 (talk) 17:19, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lakers–Suns rivalry moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lakers–Suns rivalry, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lakers–Suns rivalry (August 29)

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

No changes made after this was draftified by another editor.

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 when they have been resolved.

Sources you can use for “Lakers–Suns rivalry“

Hey AlPhA mAlE, I see that your Lakers–Suns got axed because it lacked enough sources. Here, let me give you a hand with some sources. I wanna help you out with this because Lakers–Suns (hell, even Los Angeles–Phoenix in general) has enough history to have its own article...

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. The biggest issue is that it fails the guideline WP:WHYN, namely that multiple sources are needed "so that we can write a fair and balanced article that complies with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy ..." Otherwise, editors will just cherry-pick facts from routine coverage in recaps of individual games, as opposed to independent sources that look at the rivalry as a whole. Moreover, routine coverage liberally uses the term rivalry to manufacture hype. At this point, it looks like calling this a "rivalry" is WP:OR.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Los Angeles Angels. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:28, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I said in my edit summary, this change requires consensus, if you want it to stay. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 19:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with the changes that have been implemented. For the Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles and LA Angels wiki pages, the proper team logo is not used. The logos that you are using are wordmark logos that are used for the home uniforms and are not primary logos. When it comes to the Tigers, D-Backs, Blue Jays and Pirates, the insignia logos are not needed because the team logos have the same design as the insignia. And also, if you were to put insignias, you should using scalar vector graphics and not png. ThE AlPhA MalE (talk) 01:12, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Toronto Blue Jays. Please discuss on the respective talk pages regarding the cap insignia removal. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:06, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
