Hello, I'm Non-dropframe. I noticed that in this edit to William H. Natcher Parkway, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —Non-Dropframe _talk 01:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

ADHS Talk

Hello, I'm Bitmapped. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Appalachian Development Highway System, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If you're going to change the distances, you need to provide citations showing the distances you're listing. Bitmapped (talk) 00:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I've put a message on your Talk Page.

Hello, I'm WashuOtaku and I recently reversed an edit on the ADHS page. As mention before, please provide adequate sources when making impact changes to the article. Implying a corridor discontinued or a mileage change need references that identify those changes; these can be news articles, government data or another valid source that is deemed creditable. Thank you. --WashuOtaku (talk) 03:25, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Uh, Go click the link to I-175, and you'll see that it was defunct, WashuOtaku ActivBowser9177 (talk) 21:49, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

US 127 in Michigan

Please don't restore the infobox. It's unnecessary. Furthermore, I-73 in Michigan is essentially cancelled, so while it may officially exist in federal law, it won't exist in Michigan ever unless something changes. If something does change, we can revisit the situation. Imzadi 1979 → 06:05, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for letting me know.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. –Fredddie™ 21:52, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Temporary suspension of United's EWR-DEL flight and it's quick resumption

I came to notice how abruptly you removed Delhi from the destinations list of Newark Liberty International Airport and United Airlines Destinations and Newark from the destinations list in article Indira Gandhi International Airport. For your kind information, United had suspended the Delhi flights only temporarily due to smog and this source which you provided had itself mentioned this clearly. Smog in Delhi was at dangerously high levels only for a short time. Various flights across the world are suspended temporarily due to various reasons. In Wikipedia, the destination of a temporarily suspended flight is not removed and instead a "temporarily suspended" is written in brackets after the name of destination in the table." Destinations are removed from tables only after their flights have been essentially suspended for a permanent time and there is no chance of their resumption in near future. You should be aware of these basic ethics followed in Wikipedia airport articles and also focus on improving your inappropriate edit summaries. Flights are not "killed" or "reincarnated" but are "suspended" or "resumed" or "commenced".

Nevertheless, the Delhi flights resumed even before you removed Delhi and Newark from the concerned articles, i.e. on Sunday itself. Check this source. Next time onwards, please take some time in checking things before making utterly non-sensical and illogical edits. Your edits can be considered to constitute vandalism and you may be blocked if you don't follow these guidelines and repeat your disruptive edits next time.

May 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Rob Ninkovich, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. I'm not sure where you got 6'3", but there are published sources which document him at 6'2". Tarl N.

May 2024

Please don't make unsourced edits to NFL player stats. The default source used for NFL player stats is NFL.com. Link is in the infobox directly to player profiles with their official stats listed. Hunterb212 (talk) 02:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Some of the heights given on NFL.com are just flat-out incorrect, such as Mario Williams' height being listed at 6' 6" by NFL.com despite pre-measurements indicating that he is 6' 7". Since the infobox used for NFL players simply asks for "height" and not "listed height" as for NBA players, the height given in the infobox should be as accurate as possible (while also being given to the nearest inch). Except in the rare event that a player has grown taller since entering the league, pre-draft heights are the most accurate height measurements of NFL players due to them being measured in eighths, therefore pre-draft heights should have a higher priority over NFL.com's heights when it comes to determining what height should be used for a player's Wikipedia page. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 03:01, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Well it's against Wikipedia policy to make unsourced edits, if you're going to change the stats you need to provide a source and inline citation. Otherwise we go with the default infobox source which is NFL.com. Hunterb212 (talk) 04:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Pre draft measurements do not somehow supersede NFL.com official measurements. Players measurements sometimes change and are updated when they become pros and join the NFL. Why go with outdated pre draft measurements over up to date current NFL measurements? That seems counterproductive to me. Hunterb212 (talk) 04:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Like I said, I am aware that some players grow after entering the league. Take Nate Solder for an example, as he was initially listed by NFL.com at 6' 8" after being measured at 6' 8¼" during pre-draft measurements, but was later re-listed by NFL.com at 6' 9". In situations like those, it is safe to assume that NFL.com is accurate. However, while players might grow, they cannot permanently shrink unless if they are somehow playing in their 40s or even older, as it is at those ages at the earliest when people in general start to shrink. As a result, if NFL.com's height listing for a player is shorter than what the player's pre-draft measurements claim, I think it is safe to assume that NFL.com's listing would be faulty and therefore the pre-draft measurements should be given higher priority. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 17:28, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Regardless it's against Wikipedia policy to make unsourced edits and the standard policy is to use NFL.com for stats and measurements. If you continue making unsourced edits and going against policy I'll have to report you to admins. Hunterb212 (talk) 19:09, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Then the NFL player infobox should state "listed height" as it is for NBA players, instead of just "height". If we just simply used "height", the natural impression is that the given height is the true height as opposed to "listed height" for NBA players, and NFL.com's heights can sometimes be wildly inaccurate as stated with some players like Mario Williams. Therefore, I disagree with the idea that NFL.com should be the only source used for player heights. ActivBowser9177 (talk) 20:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
