Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Little League elbow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ulnar collateral ligament. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You added this, but an IP stated it's not Bret Saberhagen. Googling the subject, I also see that it doesn't look like him.

Thanks for your addition to List of biblical place names in North America. I want to explain why I reverted your edit. I have watched that article for a white, and often people add Biblical place names, where the actual place isn't actually named after the Biblical place. I checked the articles for some of the names you added, and there was no mention of the place being named after the Bible (though many were). You also added some red links, which would require at least a source to support their entry. If you look back through the article history you will see the you re-added many of the article names I had previously deleted. Would you mind re-adding the names of places that are in fact named after the Biblical place? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:43, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further to what I wrote in my edit summary, I find it interesting that the Health equity article itself has a tag cautioning that the "examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject". Suppose readers of the Yinshu article were to have read the old revision: would they be inclined to think that the writer(s) of the Yinshu were promulgating the same concept of "health inequity" as modern researchers? On the contrary, the concept of health equity (as is set out in the article) seems to focus on access to modern healthcare (it was far too long to read properly, but I don't see any historic examples), something that the Yinshu clearly does not concern itself with (if "healthcare" was even a concept in ancient China). Even the most blindingly obvious things here require citations, never mind a loaded concept like this that goes beyond describing and quoting from the source material. If you don't have a reference for that, I will go ahead and remove it again, pending a third opinion, for being blatant original research.

Hi, Dennis, I pinged you for your take on assessing Mets-related articles for the Mets project. In case, you haven't had the time or seen it yet, here is the link. I do look forward to your take. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Denniscabrams,
I reviewed this PROD and wanted to highlight a couple steps that you didn't take care of properly. First, any time you tag a page for deletion, and especially a PROD, you should leave an edit summary detailing what step you took. This is important for PRODs because if the tag is removed, an admin needs to be able to see that the article was already PROD'd once and this is seen by looking at edit summaries in the page history. So, the typical edit summary is "Proposing article for deletion" or even just "PROD".
Second, any time you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/TFD/etc.), you need to post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. You can not skip this step. This process is made easier if you make use of Twinkle, a common editing tool and set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator". Then, if you use Twinkle to tag a page for deletion, Twinkle will post these notices for you. If you choose not to use Twinkle, then you need to find a template to use or just write the notification yourself. Please do not omit these steps in the future if you tag a page for deletion consideration. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, thank you for your work on this page. I do think some of the entries you added need to be removed - if you look at the deletion discussions for the page (there have been several), the one thing that is most important to the page (besides sourcing), is to keep the scope of the page manageable. For this reason, including every athlete who has been convicted of drunk driving, or simple assault is not a plausible option. In general, it's been kept to athletes who have been sentenced to prison (as opposed to a short stint in jail). The general purpose of the article is to list athletes who have engaged in deliberate criminal behavior (or at least very seriously negligent) as a means of reference. Let me know what you think.

On 10 July 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Brewer Hicklen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Brewer Hicklen), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Could you please take a look at Colton Cowser and Mason Martin? I cropped the photos to try and make them look better as they were very small and you could barely see the photos. When I use chrome or my phone, the new cropped photos look fine, but when on safari they look overly large and blurry. I've seen you uploading a lot of photos for players so I figured I would ask you. If they look blurry on your end, I'd take tips on how to fix it because I'm not sure what else to do to make them look normal. Thanks! –Malmmf (talk) 17:19, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ezequiel Tovar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://mufcarena.com/where-is-ezequiel-tovar-from/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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.

Hello, Denniscabrams. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Murder of Zymere Perkins".

Hello, Denniscabrams. I noticed that your recent edit to Andy Carter (baseball) added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 01:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Denniscabrams, I just saw your edit summary, and wanted to apologize for my vague explanation. What I meant by "photo doesn't work" was that the image was not displaying properly in the article, and was appearing as a broken link. I've run across a lot of editors who will add a file to a page without uploading it properly, so that's what I assumed happened when I saw the broken file from your edit. It appears that either you uploaded it in your second edit, or it just took a little while for Wikipedia's system to process the photo, because the image is displaying properly now. So sorry for the confusion! Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 14:17, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's very helpful to other editors if you use an edit summary to say what you are doing. If you're removing something from an article, it's even more helpful to say why you are removing it.
I reverted this edit, because it didn't seem correct. It's possible you have a good rationale for it. If so, a short explanation in the edit summary would have made that clear and might have avoided the revert. -- Srleffler (talk) 23:17, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Lin Chih-sheng a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Ngayaw Ake. 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.

Thanks for uploading File:Washingtonville Central School District logo.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 15:25, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
