[edit] January – April 2007

[edit] Jose Parica

I reverted your edits to Jose Parica because they were rather sudden, en-masse, and unexplained. The edit to the points/games/matches passage on my reading makes even less sense than the original, yet is equally unsourced. Please clarify what the intent was. You reverted the 2005 deaths category, but did not cite a source for doing so. And despite edit summaries explaining precisely why the birth place missing, etc. categories were present, you reverted those (to refresh: they are there as a flag to WP:CUE to edit the article to have standard birth/death format at top of article (e.g.: "Jimbo Doodle (born 30 February 2010 in Psychoville, Texas, USA; died 31 February 2050 in Happytown, Botswana) was a...") Doesn't mean the article provides no information on the flagged topics, just that something about these articles is broken with regard to the flagged topics. If you disagree strongly about this latter matter, I can probably be dissuaded, but remain highly skeptical as to the removal of the death year category and the points/games/matches edit without further clarification. Please respond at the article talk page. This is just a courtesy copy.— SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 04:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cue sports edits

You've made a lot of interestingly-detailed contributions lately to pro pool player articles, but none of them are sourced. This means that unless someone else sources the material it will be deleted. Please provide source citations, or you are honestly wasting your own and several other editors' time. If you don't know how to cite sources, I'll be quite happy to give you a quick tutorial, or in the interim you can even just post source-related material on the article's talk page and someone will handle it for you. I don't mean to discourage you in any way; rather to encourage you to edit Wikipedia in a way that will make lasting contributions rather than temporary changes someone will just revert later. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 02:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to "Jose Parica" and other biography articles

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Jose Parica page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Please stop adding unsourced, opinion-laden material to these biographical articles. Your edits are increasingly violating Wikipedia policy with regard to biographies of living persons and are otherwise violating WP policy about the need to provide citations to references. I will be very happy to help explain these matters to you in more detail and help you get up to speed on them, but you appear to be ignoring all attempts to contact you and discuss the matter, either here or on article talk pages. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 19:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

PS: Thank you for providing some sources last time you edited Alex Pagulayan and Rodolfo Luat. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 20:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
PPS: You seem to be slipping again. The vast majority of your substantial edits over the last few days have been unsourced. I'm serious that this material is fairly likely to just get deleted if you don't provided sources, or by random luck someone else can and does do so. Sources are really important here. I and others greatly appreciate the time and detailed effort you are making; I just don't want to see it all be in vain. There are many Wikipedia editors who delete unsourced information on sight, especially when found in biographical articles. I'm usually not one of them, but there are thousands and thousands of editors here.  :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 02:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please use the edit summary feature

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. . Because you are using an IP address instead of a real user account, it is very difficult to distinguish your edits in the article edit histories from those of probable vandals when you don't leave a detailed edit summary explaining the changes or additions you've made. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 02:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Research and writing ideas

Since you are working so much on the player biographies, if you can provide sourced basic details that are missing this would be very helpful. Many, many player bios have no birth date or birth place information, for example. The addition of title wins is of course also great, and you've been doing a lot in that regard. If you are up to it, writing some basic articles on actual tournaments sorely needs to be done. See Cue sports at the 2006 Asian Games for a really great example. The Mosconi Cup and WPA World Nine-ball Championship articles and their sub-articles are also very good models. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 02:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to the Novuss article

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] Please use edit summaries - it is one of the ways we tell good edits from vandalism

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 00:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Fern

It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Fern. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. >Kamope< Talk · Sign Here 12:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to carom billiards

Your edit to the article without sourcing confirms what others have been telling you about the need for those sources. A quick search established that Hoppe did set that record, but in 1910. It was eclipsed in 1923 by Roger Conti who ran 642 playing 18.2 balkline (see Conti sets French Record of 642 in 18.2 Billiards).--Fuhghettaboutit 14:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please use meaningful edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an informative edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.

Just putting "Contribs" as an edit summary is non-informative and makes your edits look like probable vandalism. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 11:02, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your March 1, 2007 addition of unsourced information to the Marlon Manalo article

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 12:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits (March 24, 2007)

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed.

[edit] Thank you for your message

Dear User, Thank you for the message in my userpage, I said possible vandalism because, your edits, if improper, could be treated as vandalism and you could be blocked from editing in Wikipedia. It was a friendly warning, not a malicious one, I really appreciate your contributions. All the best wishes, cheers.--Cyril Thomas 13:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of characters in Camp Lazlo

Stop Stop reinserting the images on this article. They are no good, and some of them are sideways. The Prince of Darkness 14:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to List of characters from My Gym Partner's a Monkey

Much of what you're putting back into this article was taken out because one-time characters, very minor students and possible future characters are just that, minor. If they do reappear with speaking roles then add them but don't revert edits done to clear up fancruft (which due to their non-notable status makes those characters you wish to add fancruft). If you continue to re-add previously deleted content without fair reason as to why, you will be given a final vandalism warning. --treelo talk 13:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page protection

Just to let you know, adding {{sprotected}} or {{protected}} to a page is only a means for an admin to notify users that a page is protected. This does not actually confer protection to the article. If you need help protecting a page, please contact an admin or request it. Thanks! --  Netsnipe  ►  13:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2007

[edit] Please stop adding redundant categories

Doing this:

[[Category:German pool players]]
[[Category:European pool players]]

is a mistake. We do not add redundant, more general categories to article that already have a more specific category. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 16:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for That!

I just wanted to say "Thank you" for putting up that banner in Iggy Arbuckle's article. Now someone with the authority is bound to notice that the article desperately needs images! Wilhelmina Will 21:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flags and nationality

Hello,

I know you had good intentions, but a policy exists about the use of flags in infoboxes which dictates they should never be used for several reasons. The policy is found at WP:MOSFLAG. -- Jza84 · (talk) 12:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
