File source problem with File:LT General William Boykin.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:LT General William Boykin.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Better source request for File:Delta C Squadron Somalia Sept 1993.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Delta C Squadron Somalia Sept 1993.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited History of the United States Army Special Forces, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Presidential Unit Citation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Unexplained Removal of Content

Hi, I was curious why you recently tried to remove numerous paragraphs on the SEAL Team Six page, specifically the entire section about controversies surrounding the team. It is a well sourced section with sources you can check yourself by clicking the numbers at the end of sentences. Removing content you simply don't agree with or don't like is not allowable under the Wiki guidelines.jlcoving (talk) 13:09, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to United States Navy SEALs. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 08:05, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Notability (sports)

You appear to be adding Template:Notability to the articles of many professional sports players and similar. Please review:

Wikipedia:Notability (sports)

• WP:NGRIDIRON - Which states American football/Canadian football players and head coaches are presumed notable if they -- Have appeared in at least one regular season or post-season game...
• WP:NOLYMPICS - Which states Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the modern Olympic Games, including the Summer Olympics (since 1896) or the Winter Olympics (since 1924)...
• etc

Per above, plase stop tagging these articles with NOT. Template:RefImprove might be an appropriate alternative in some cases. UW Dawgs (talk) 21:33, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I just came to second UW Dawgs point. I know it's annoying but playing one game in the NFL does pass our notability criteria. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:50, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

I've opened a dicussion (and pinged you) around these edits at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League#Notability in NFL player articles. Please join that discussion. UW Dawgs (talk) 02:00, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

If you truly believe these articles fail our notability criteria, take it to AfD. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Playing in 1 nfl game or professional sports game qualifies as notability for wikipedia???? No chance. Give me a break. All our military veterans serving 1 day in uniform active duty shall all get a Wikipedia page.

Did you even read the links we showed you? Yes, playing one NFL games does qualify as notable for Wikipedia. Please stop tagging articles for notability issues. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Again, bring them to AfD if you wish to gain a community consensus. It will be speedy closed as keep due to WP:NGRIDIRON. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 02:33, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

inaccurate information brought by unreliable sources on technical information. Bilcat is not supreme ruler. Bilcat's is incorrect in editing. Fact check technical information.

Sorry, you can't remove information from a generally reliable source such as Aviation Week with some discussion, and without other reliable sources that back up your claims. The proper way to handle a dispute like this is for you to open a discussion on the article's talk page, and present your reasons there. If other editors agree with your reasoning, the material can then be removed. However, continuing to remove information the way you've been doing it is disruptive, amd could result in your account being blocked to prevent further disruption.
