Hello

Thanks for helping to update the swimming articles.

• Due to concerns over libel and WP:BLP, articles about living people need sources to be attached to the data eg Blair Evans
• As far as editing goes, there are some conventions/English usage that are used, which saves one from having to fix up afterwards
  • Sections aren't capitalised except the first word and proper nouns, so "Personal life" and "Medal success"
  • Freestyle, Fly, Medley etc are common nouns
  • a nonbroken space is used between numbers and units (nbsp;) in 54.26 s and 100 m freestyle
  • Try not to use flamboyant newspaper language such as "grabbed", "took down" or make editorial qualifications such as "gutsy" etc without a source or clarification on why it was such.

Thanks, happy editing YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 07:33, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

October 2010

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Kudpung (talk) 13:13, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Kudpung (talk) 13:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gennadi Touretski

The article Gennadi Touretski has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Longest reigining heavyweights

Hi, sorry about the lateness of this reply. I just wanted to thank you for fixing my mistake on Evander Holyfield's belts on his longest title reign. By the way, you're a fan of Vic Darchinyan too, right? Wishing him luck against Moreno, and, hopfully soon, against Mares and Donaire. God bless. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 00:56, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, December's going to be awesome :P. Who are you picking for Alvarez-Cintron, Wlodarczyk-Green, Darchinyan-Moreno, Agbeko-Mares 2, Cotto-Margarito 2, Klitschko-Mormeck and Froch-Ward? I'm picking Alvarez (Rising star and Cintron has been losing lately), Green (Wlodarczyk struggles with elite opponents), Darchinyan (Has a huge experience advantage, good with non-aggressive opponents and has been training with Lightweights. Moreno has been picked by Top Rank and The Ring experts as a future top 10 p4p, this will be a big win for Vic), Mares (ref just dosen't care about Abner constantly low-blowing everyone...), Margarito (Depends on how Cotto does in the early rounds, though), Klitschko (Easy win), and Froch (Carl's too quick and powerful for Ward to try and win on points). --TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:44, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Minor edit

You seem to be marking every edit you make as a "minor edit". This is misleading and bordering on disruptive. See WP:Minor edit for when it's appropriate to mark an edit as minor. DoctorKubla (talk) 06:57, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Djokovic season article

Just an FYI, per Tennis Project Guidelines, Novak Djokivic does not yet merit a 2018 seasonal article. He will if he wins a Grand Slam tournament or reaches a top 5 ranking. We had to wait last year to create Federer and Nadal articles for the same reasons. Serena Williams, Murray and Wawrinka also must wait. You can copy the info to your sandbox in hopes that he will soon reach the needed requirements. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
