Hi Mk8mlyb! I see you've reverted a couple of attempted merges of the opposite field page. Could you voice your opinion over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball#Proposed_merge:_Opposite_field_into_Glossary_of_baseball? We'd love to know your thoughts! Thanks.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Garry Templeton, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 05:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in 1984 San Diego Padres season, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, please follow MOS:EGG regarding intuitive linking. Thanks! —Bagumba (talk) 01:46, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Tarl N.. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Super Bowl XLVI, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. See also WP:NPOV Tarl N.

What do you mean, I needed sources? I get the somewhat flowery writing, but most of the info I put on there didn't need to be cited. There's something called observation and comparison. In fact, I calculated the 2007 New York Giants' strength of victory all by myself. Mk8mlyb (talk) 04:20, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
(both of whom they had lost to in their first two games of the season by ten points or more), to get to Super Bowl XLII, all while being just as favored to lose, and after looking very unimpressive at times during the regular season (despite their 10-6 record, generally considered playoff-caliber, they had a point differential of +22, went 3-5 at home, and had a strength of victory of just .375).
I calculated the 2007 New York Giants' strength of victory all by myself.. That is original research, and is prohibited. See WP:OR. Tarl N. (discuss) 04:35, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Further conversation from other talk page:
Really?! You're telling me the point differential has to be cited? All I had to do was look at the standings to find that out! You mean I have to put THAT as a citation? GRRR! This is frustrating. Can't people look at it for themselves? It's not rocket science! But whatever, I'll take a look at it. Mk8mlyb (talk) 04:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Please read the Wikipedia polices listed at the welcome page linked above by another editor. In theory, ALL statements in Wikipedia must be cited. This generally means that any given sentence should have a citation, as opposed to every word. If you are producing sentences which require citations from multiple sources, you are engaging in synthesis, not reporting. Please read WP:SYNTH.
What I am observing is that your edits reflect addition of emotional content, intending presumably to make it more exciting to read. That's not what Wikipedia is about. And again, I notice you removed some text from the article I complained about, but you have still left a mass of uncited flowery text. I'll revert the entire set of edits from the past several days if I have to.
In case you aren't aware of where to look for Wikipedia policies, I'll include the standard welcome text below, which has pointers to the policies and procedures. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 04:58, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Look, pal, I'm just following what I see on the page, okay? If you read the articles, they have the same stuff throughout. All I'm doing is staying consistent. Look at the playoff section of the 2007 season article. Mk8mlyb (talk) 05:02, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey! I put some sources on both articles. Is that enough? Mk8mlyb (talk) 05:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Generally, citing youtube is a lousy idea. The videos are subject to being removed, you almost always run into WP:PRIMARY, as well as being a pain in the ass for anyone to find what you are claiming is cited. At one point, there was a bot which went around deleting citations pointing to youtube because they were almost all garbage. Again, the idea of Wikipedia is not for you to decide to say something and then find references to back it up. In writing about a subject, it should be researched, and the most salient information put in the article with pointers to where it came from. Your edits directly violate at least WP:V, WP:TONE, WP:NPOV and WP:OR. Tarl N. (discuss) 06:09, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to 2011 New York Giants season, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

The AFC and NFC are now artificial constructs within the NFL....and the number of teams in the NFL is ephemeral. Possibly appropriate under 32, but not 16. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:59, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tom Brady; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. —Bagumba (talk) 03:42, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 05:14, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
Incidentally, I had edited Montana's article the other day, adding a cite for some of his SB records. The source stated that Montana "generally was regarded as the most accomplished QB in NFL history". Would you be interested in helping to spruce up Montana's article w.r.t. GOAT claims? Also, Jerry Rice is constantly having IPs add that he is the greatest, while one registered editor has been regularly reverting it, presumably because of stickum. I'll need to dig into it more, but I don't recall it really changing his stature as the GOAT WR.—Bagumba (talk) 17:29, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
Your edit was a good start, but what happened to the division winners was much worse it was the first in league history. Deadman137 (talk) 04:04, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jaws (franchise), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thriller (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.)
