editHello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to 2023 DC Defenders season, 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. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 01:20, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 2023 DC Defenders season, 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.

- Hello, I am removing the rest of the boxes because the other XFL teams seasons wiki pages do not have them, so I want to make them even. (i have ocd btw) Americanbagel1 (talk) 01:36, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Seems good. Just make sure to fill in the edit summary with this information next time, as your edits will be reverted if you remove large amounts of content without an edit summary. Parksfan1955 (talk) 01:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to 2023 DC Defenders season, you may be blocked from editing. ... discospinster talk 03:29, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, I am removing the rest of the boxes because the other XFL teams seasons wiki pages do not have them, so I want to make them even. A different user already approved about it so it's all good. Americanbagel1 (talk) 03:30, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- You still have to say so in the edit summary, which you have been informed about before. ... discospinster talk 03:37, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 14
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1983 Philadelphia Stars Season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jimmy Turner. 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.)

1983 Philadelphia Stars Season
editIt was because the table wasn't actually closed at the bottom (if you don't close the table, then the page doesn't know where the table is supposed to end, so everything after it screws up and acts weird.) I've fixed that, so if you see something like that again that's probably the cause. Bearcat (talk) 02:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

USFL seasons
editI replied to your message on my talk page. Also know that if you are going to take information from existing Wikipedia pages you must source the page in the edit summary ex. (information copied from the [[New Jersey Generals]] page, see that page for attribution.)- UCO2009bluejay (talk) 00:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Furthermore, please use lower case "season" instead of "Season." It is a style issue and it will affect infoboxes if you were to create 1984 seasons.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 00:39, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from New Jersey Generals into 1983 New Jersey Generals Season. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 22:47, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
1983 Boston Breakers season moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, 1983 Boston Breakers season, 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.Onel5969 TT me 11:21, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
