Hi Smitty Smitty! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like Cordless Larry ( talk).

Your recent editing history at 2017 Presidents Cup shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 20:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{ unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 20:11, 27 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Arizona Wildcats men's basketball, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Stanley Johnson and Derrick Williams ( check to confirm |  fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Ryan McDonough (NBA executive). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. General Ization ^Talk 16:12, 8 October 2018 (UTC) reply

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ryan McDonough (NBA executive). General Ization ^Talk 16:13, 8 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Please pay attention when warnings are posted on your Talk page. While you finally got around to including a citation for the content you were adding to Ryan McDonough (NBA executive), you could have been (and may yet be) blocked for persistently adding content without including a citation of a reliable source.

With this edit [1] you only changed the "through date" above the apparent citation:

! Institution || Location || Nickname || NCAA Team<br>Championships<br><small>(through November 19, 2020)</small><ref>{{cite web|url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/champs_records_book/Overall.pdf|title=Championships History|accessdate=December 3, 2017}}</ref>

You were reverted [2] with an edit summary of: rvt; citation says "CHAMPIONSHIPS SUMMARY THROUGH JUNE 22, 2020"

With these edits [3] you then restored the content in a similar manner.

• Your text of "(through date MM DD, YYYY)" must align with your citation. And that citation is dated to June 22, 2020.
• Your accessdate parameter (accessdate=December 3, 2017) of the citation should be updated to the date you reviewed the citation to update the table text, which in this case presumable would be "accessdate=November 19, 2020"

These edits have been reverted, but please do fix the above issue if you intent to readd. UW Dawgs ( talk) 20:07, 19 November 2020 (UTC) reply

Does the title column in the coaches table refer to regular season titles or tournament titles? I think we should try to make it more clear. The reason I changed it was cause it was ambiguous. GoWarriors151718 ( talk) 23:27, 21 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I updated some of the coaches stats in order for them to be accurate under the criteria given. For example, I put Craig Smith's (Utah coach) record at 0-0 because if you read the parameters of that column, it says that the records are only associated with the games played AT THAT SCHOOL and so it would not be accurate to have his previous records carried over unless we do that for all the other coaches as well. GoWarriors151718 ( talk) 00:12, 22 January 2022 (UTC) reply

May I assist with the day to day updates for this page please? I feel like I could take some pressure and responsibilities from you. I won’t do any updates on this page for the Arizona road games at UCLA/CAL/ASU. Thanks. GoWarriors151718 ( talk) 00:19, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Here’s the deal. I won’t touch this page. It was a foolish idea on my part to ask. As far as the standings go, let’s keep them the way that they are (me: 3 teams, their opponents +2 AZ games, you: the other 6 teams and 3 AZ home games). GoWarriors151718 ( talk) 01:59, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Sounds good. Your more than welcome to do any of the team pages except Arizona. Majority of them don’t get updated for several day. Or if you grammar errors, have at it. But PAC-12 basketball is all I watch, so I updated all this as the games end. Smitty Smitty ( talk) 02:01, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Okay. Thanks on the clarification on how you are able to update this stuff so quickly. I’m glad we were able to reach a resolution on this. I probably won’t check that much for grammar problems. And I look forward to this Tuesday. I hope and think it will be a good game. May the better team win. GoWarriors151718 ( talk) 02:10, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I'm informed that you've been "updating" some articles and templates before the game is even over. This is not acceptable. If the final bell/whistle/gong/foghorn has not sounded, the game has not ended, and you should not be changing articles to reflect what you are confident will happen. Don't assume you can always predict the future. We are not under a deadline here, and you will gain no appreciation or "street cred" from your fellow Wikipedians for being the first to change a template or article. We would rather be slow, but accurate. -- Orange Mike | Talk 19:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on 2024 Pac-12 Conference men's basketball tournament 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://pac-12.com/mens-basketball/standings#:~:text=If%20more%20than%20two%20teams,one%20team%20gains%20an%20advantage. 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.

However, when you're deleting the "college football" infobox template (which is helpful), you've been also accidentally deleting the other stuff that comes before the infobox too (like the "short description" line or the "use MDY" line, etc.) Can you please make sure you don't accidentally delete more than you intend to, like you've been accidentally doing? Thanks. Paintspot Infez ( talk) 02:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC) reply

An article you recently created, 2023–24 Arizona State Sun Devils men's basketball team, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.( ?) 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.

• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2014 U.S. Open (golf) and 2023 U.S. Open (golf) into another page. 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. _wjemather ^{please leave a message...} 21:41, 23 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello, I'm The Kip. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pac-12 Conference have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. The departures of Oregon and Washington have not been formally confirmed; please stop editing the page as if they have been. That’s not how it works here. The Kip ( talk) 17:47, 4 August 2023 (UTC) reply

You can unlock the page now & let people make the edits since the Big Ten just announced they are joining the conference. People were making all kinds of edits based on sources articles from major outlets but thanks for just singling me out. Smitty Smitty ( talk) 22:21, 4 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. estar8806 ( talk) ★ 16:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Hello! I'm Wjemather. Your recent edit(s) to the page 2023 Ryder Cup appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Specifically, there is no rush or deadline to add this information, so please take more care and ensure the information you are adding is correct (or at least follows the source). This edit was particularly careless. Thanks, _wjemather ^{please leave a message...} 13:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Please wait for things to actually happen before updating articles, as you did in 2023 Ryder Cup with the player records tables in advance of the singles being played. As per my earlier note above, please also try to ensure the information you add is correct (several player records were not).

Hi Smitty Smitty. If you're going to be making major changes to an article like Brent Brennan you need a source first and you need to include a citation for that source in the article with your first edit making changes. Not rumors. Not unconfirmed reports. Not "expected". I'd suggest reading WP:THEREISNORUSH for a longer discussion on this. Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 21:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Team announcements were made via social media. Should I link to those messages? Smitty Smitty ( talk) 21:35, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply

No, social media and other user-generated content aren't reliable. You can use a reliable source that has confirmed the news like this article. Daniel Quinlan ( talk) 21:40, 16 January 2024 (UTC) reply
