Disambiguation link notification for January 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of basketball arenas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bar. 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.)

Lillard

Hi there. I modified your edit to Damian Lillard. The community is being more stringent on sourcing for "greatest in history" claims, especially in the lead. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association § Request for Comment on use of the term "one of the greatest" in player articles. An WP:EXCEPTIONAL claim requires backing by "multiple mainstream sources", not Basketball Network. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 05:18, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks. (although in my defense I did not say he is "one of the greatest" but rather that he is "one of the most prolific", which is more objective and pretty true, given he is 4th on the all-time list). But I get the point about not using "in history". That's fine. One thing that did get lost was the note about his shooting range (the basketballnews.com citation), something that I think most people would agree is also noteworthy about him (his penchant for taking very deep 3s). But it doesn't need to go in the lead. Maybe it can be added elsewhere. Thanks again. NameNotUsed20 (talk) 15:28, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you can find sources for what was written, I was mostly tweaking it since it wasnt currently supported (and it's highly visible in the lead). Thanks for understanding, and happy editing. —Bagumba (talk) 15:40, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NameNotUsed20! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Apocalypse Now and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Marcus Markup (talk) 10:19, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem. My main issue was that the description on the Redux page was so brief. Thanks NameNotUsed20 (talk) 13:54, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was too harsh. We all come here to edit in good faith, and I need to stop barking at people. Cheers. Marcus Markup (talk) 16:11, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Appreciate the post NameNotUsed20 (talk) 16:46, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Northern Nevada Correctional Center. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. The4lines |||| (talk) 18:01, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:32, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note and reminder. While I had cited that source, I can see that I did not paraphrase quite enough. I have updated that page. If you want to check it that is great, and/or let me know if any other issues. Thanks. NameNotUsed20 (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's much better. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:27, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
