[edit] Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pickleball, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Blogs are not reliable sources. Meters (talk) 20:31, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Will do. Thanks 24.116.108.66 (talk) 20:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- See WP:RSSELF. That's a personal web page, but it's possible it is usable anyways, if the person is considered to be an "established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." In any case, a "top ten" type list such as the one I removed is really not something that Wikipedia should include. Meters (talk) 21:05, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks SLMags (talk) 21:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Since I'm not an expert in the field of pickleball, I probably won't edit this page anymore unless it's grammatical. Thanks SLMags (talk) 21:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to chase you away. Your USA Pickleball ref is a great source and we can mine it for more material. I rewrote what you had to remove WP:POV, and I tidied up some WP:MOS issues (most of which were not your doing in the first place). Encyclopedic statements about how many players there are and how many venues are fine, but unsourced or improperly sourced claims with vague terms such as "extremely popular" and click-bait lists not so much.

Service learning programs moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Service learning programs, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:36, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- I accidentally posted it live so I will return it back to my sandbox. I'll be returning it to my sandbox once I figure that out.@DaxServer 24.116.108.66 (talk) 18:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
