Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mars Hill University into Mars Hill Lions. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 23:38, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will do! I apologize for not following this rule up until now. I will do it from now on. — Wmtribe2015 (talk)

Creating categories

Hi, when creating category pages, every such page needs one or more parent categories - but that parent category cannot be the name of the same category, see WP:CREATECAT and WP:CAT#Category tree organization. I have had to fix up a number of your category pages, including two that you created today - Category:2020–21 NCAA Division III men's basketball season and Category:2021–22 NCAA Division III men's basketball season. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You've done it again, with Category:Lindenwood Lions women's basketball. Please be careful. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:19, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

College athletic conference maps

Greetings. I personally want to thank you for your contributions and efforts when it comes to put and create those maps of the current (and sometimes defunct) college athletic conferences within the United States, regardless of any level (either the NJCAA, the USCAA, the NAIA or any of the 3 divisions of the NCAA alike). Keep up the good work. :) jlog3000 (talk) 22:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. S Philbrick (Talk) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1956 NAIA Football National Championship

Hi, an article you created in 2015, 1956 NAIA Football National Championship, is discussing the same game as an article created in 2007, Aluminum Bowl. There should only be one article about this contest. As the Aluminum Bowl article was the first of these articles created, contains more detail, is more widely linked, and includes citations, I propose changing the 1956 NAIA Football National Championship article to be a redirect to Aluminum Bowl. If any concern or alternate suggestion, please let me know. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 04:42, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asterisk in

Hello there. I created 1997 NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament. What is the purpose of the asterisks (*) in the 1996 NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament and all the other articles? I did not add it to 1997 because I do not know what they are used for. I assumed it meant the winning team but that was not always the case. - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 19:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey There! Thank you for flagging this -- the asterisks on the teams mark the hosts and the asterisks on the scores indicate overtime periods. I borrowed them from some of the other Division II and Division III tournaments but forgot to notate them on the D3 tournaments. I will go back and add them.

Preference for sentence case in titles

What is your argument in favor of sentence case for article titles such as NCAA Division I women's golf championship? Is the argument that a specific event such as the 2023 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship would be title case while a reference to a non-specific event would be sentence case? A non-specific reference to the NBA Finals would be title case rather than NBA finals and this seems similar. Dbferal (talk) 07:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! The main reason I made the switch over was that all of the NCAA basketball and football championships and seasons were moved over to this sentence-case format, so I followed suit with all of the NCAA championship pages that I maintain or created. I don't feel strongly in either direction, and I generally agree that it makes more sense to keep them as all capitalized, although I also figured I'd follow the lead of the other NCAA champs pages.

1950 NCAA gymnastics championships

Hello and thank you for your contributions in early NCAA men's gymnastics. I've been going through the 1938 through 1949 editions to add more information and sourcing to what you've already provided. I did notice one previous miss ... there was attribution to Henry Crown Field House for the events that Chicago hosted whereas newspaper reporting from the events credited that to Bartlett Gymnasium.

I've made my way now to 1950, where there seems to be little recorded via newspapers of the event. Do you have any references that would indicate Gillis Field House as the host for the 1950 NCAA gymnastics championships? It's fairly well established that it was held in West Point and hosted by Army, however I couldn't find an exact location on a brief once-over.

Thanks for laying a lot of this groundwork. I hope to continue on through present day. GauchoDude (talk) 15:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! That's a great question. I don't remember exactly, but I believe I may have seen them in an old 1950s-era NCAA printed record book at my college library back in 2015-16. Either way, I would trust your newspaper sources over whatever I referenced, especially since I don't think I'll be able to find those old books. Wmtribe2015 (talk) 00:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Keystone Academy

Hello Wmtribe2015, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Keystone Academy, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keystone Academy.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
