Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Progressive Field may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

I will concede the point about the run-on sentences in the Utah Jazz article, but why do you insist on changing the wording, seen in this edit? Look at the Orlando Magic article. It says "The club is currently one of two teams in the major North American professional sports leagues to play in the city of Orlando (the other is Major League Soccer's Orlando City SC)." Now I know not to bring other stuff into this discussion, but the reason why I brought up the Orlando Magic article is because I was trying to model the wording in the first paragraph to be consistent with other NBA team articles, such as the Magic article. I don't want to get into an edit-war with you, and I certainly don't want to violate the three-revert rule, which will result in both of us getting blocked from editing (so I'll leave the Utah Jazz article alone for now), but I am hoping for input from other editors so we can reach consensus as to how the first paragraph should be worded in the Utah Jazz article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Streetsboro High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aurora High School. 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.

I agree with your concern that we don't want to just mirror someone else's (easily available) list. That being said we seem to have a new editor who is interested in contributing - and (rare among new editors) in learning about how the encyclopedia works. I'm wondering if there's any useful direction in which to point him? Maybe he just wants to do this one thing, I dunno, but I am going to think about this a bit and am soliciting your thoughts as well. Thanks! JohnInDC ( talk) 13:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Please stop redirecting unincorporated Ohio communities to the township articles in which they are located. There is consensus that these named communities are notable, even if they could be expanded.– Gilliam ( talk) 21:18, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
That's fine and understandable. I didn't mean to imply I was going around to every stub article and merging them. No time for that! This is all dealing with Portage County articles and all the pages I was merging simply had duplicate historic info (from the same source as the township article) and/or a mention of the former post office. That was it. I was surprised it was even an issue given how the names are treated historically (trust me when I say I've done a fair amount of research :) ) and presently (a case of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC). In all cases I have merged the post office information into the township history section, especially in instances like Mishler, Ohio or Freedom Station, Ohio where the "town" doesn't really exist anymore and virtually no info is available on it beyond a very short mention confirming it existed at some point. The Mishler one, for instance, isn't even mentioned in the 1885 history of Suffield. The 1885 Portage County history only mentions Mishler as "P.O. Mishler" under a bio for Joseph Mishler. No mention is made of the specific settlement at all and there's no indication one ever existed. My apologies for not being clear enough in my initial explanation. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 00:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
With this edit at Stow-Munroe Falls High School, you indicated that the full title of a linked article should be used whenever possible the first time it appears in another article. Can you point to a specific guideline which supports this, or is this based on consensus at WP:WPSCHOOLS? This is a general question and has nothing to do w/ the SMFHS article. Thanks.

Hi JonRidinger - here's why I made those changes.
The names of venues and sports teams tend to change because of sponsorship deals with naming rights, or moves between cities. A redirect provides a simple way to ensure that all links to an old name will go to the article under the current name. Piping an old name to the current name is pointless because if the name changes again, as it surely will, the piped name will itself become a redirect and the already trivial benefit of a direct link will be lost.
Here are some relevant extracts from guides to best practice in piping and redirects:

Hi Jon,
While it is true that the Big 10 does award co-champions, they did not do so for the 2016 season. Penn State was awarded the Big 10 East Division Championship outright as they had beat Ohio State during the regular season earning the tiebreaker. Penn State went on to win the Big 10 Title after beating Wisconsin in the Big 10 Championship.

Anaxagoras13, here is a link to the big 10 page, ( http://www.bigten.org/library/stats/fb-confsked.html#results) according to the official conference website Penn State has the neutral or tiebreaker game over Ohio State and is therefore ranked higher and won the East Division Title. Ohio State did not receive any kind of co-championship for the current season. There are multiple sources confirming this. Please show me official documentation to prove your claim otherwise stop changing the page to represent false information! -Machpro693 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Machpro693 ( talk • contribs) 17:54, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
