Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Scrubbbo. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Murph9000 (talk) 09:03, 12 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Snowstormer. I noticed that you recently removed some content from 1946-47 Detroit Falcons (basketball) season without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to 1949–50 Anderson Packers season. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:16, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Inappropriate usage of Navbar-header

edit

  Hi, please do not use {{Navbar-header}} within articles. It is not intended to be used directly within articles, and generates entirely inappropriate / incorrect VTE links. Its intended use is only within templates. The way you have been using it ends up being confusing and unhelpful to people trying to edit the tables / boxes, directing them to entirely the wrong place with the result of protected edit requests being left on unrelated template talk pages. VTE links should never normally be required for content which is directly in the article itself. Thanks. Murph9000 (talk) 10:12, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop continuing to use {{Navbar-header}} within articles, as you did with this edit to 1992–93 Washington Bullets season. The "v · t · e" links that it is generating in that usage are entirely unhelpful, inappropriately linking to a template which has absolutely nothing to do with the tables you are adding. That template is not suitable for use directly within articles, it does not work properly when used like that, and is not intended to be used in that way. Placing those links on content within articles actually makes things more confusing and difficult for editors. We welcome constructive contributions, but continued insertion of unhelpful templates could end up being considered disruptive editing. Thanks.

Please stop your disruptive editing. I've asked you nicely to please stop using {{Navbar-header}}, but you have ignored my requests without any reasonable explanation (or even a basic response). Wilfully generating invalid links, which could never be valid, after the problem has been brought to your attention, is disruptive. I'm now telling you that you must stop, that your edits contain inappropriate content, and that the result is disruptive. You can very easily fix the problem, by just omitting the template that causes the problem. If you continue to make disruptive edits, you may be blocked from editing.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1951–52 Minneapolis Lakers season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frank Saul (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.)
