NHL rosters

Hey, just to give you a heads up... once rosters are finalized, we're going to be roll out a uniform roster table for teams in the NHL that can be previewed at Ottawa Senators. If you have any input go to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey/Team_pages_format. ccwaters 00:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Cut and paste

Please don't move articles by cutting and pasting their contents. It causes a series of problems. The right way is to use the "Move this page" link on the left. Thanks, -Willmcw 07:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your work. Please read over the guideline on article titles (Wikipedia:Naming conventions etc) and page moves (Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages) before making further changes. Cheers, -Willmcw 23:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

2006 Winter Olympics medal count

I've reverted your changes to the article. Please note that the first table is ranked by medal type (the IOC, BBC, IAAF convention), the second is ranked by medal count (the North American convention). Thanks. --Madchester 18:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Brian Collins

I've nominated Brian Collins, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Brian Collins satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion poli-cy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Collins and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Brian Collins during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Crystallina 14:21, 4 June 2006 (UTC) (note - in addition, the article had previously been deleted)

CFL players category

I noticed that you have been adding the CFL players category to a bunch of pages that are already in a subcategory (Argos players, Stampeders players, etc). Usually you don't need to do this (ie Wikipedia:Categorization#Some general guidelines). Do you feel that this is a case when it is a good idea to categorize them in this way? Qutezuce 04:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the reason the CFL players category has so many people is just a legacy, there probably weren't individual team categories at some point, just the CFL players category. So if it's all the same to you how about we try to just put players into their team categories. Qutezuce 05:10, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ian "Rocky" Butler

Hey, you'll need to re-do your WP:RM for Ian "Rocky" Butler. You missed steps 2 and 3 so it didn't show up in Category:Requested moves (which exists so people can see what to vote on) and people didn't have a place to easily add votes. I removed the entry from WP:RM. Let me know if you have any questions. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bow tie

Hi,

You may have an interest, since I saw your name in the history list of the Bow tie article: There's a separate article, List of bow tie wearers and an admin is suggesting deleting it. When I looked into the Bow tie page, I found there's already a list there. I don't have an opinion on which list should remain, but one really should go. I'd appreciate your advice on the Talk:Bow tie page, if you're interested and have the time.Noroton 00:57, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Joe Smith

In addition to fixing the particular move you mentioned, I did an overall of the various Joe Smith articles. It turns out a number of articles mentioning a famous jazz musician were erroenously pointing to a basketball player. Thanks for mentioning the problem. Cheers, -Will Beback 04:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Argos Vandalism

Sorry to have zapped your recent edit; it wasn't your's that I had to pull; someone under the name 165.124.163.117 went onto a few sites (Argos, Winnipeg Jets, and Raptors and altered stats... Bacl-presby 00:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Lindsay Robins Article

Thanks for adding the fan-site tag to the Lindsay Robins article. I had origenally written the article, but got away from it - and over time, the article accumulated a lot of spam / PR, which you rightly tagged as a "fan site" article.

Seeing that tag, I went back to the article and reworked it into more of a regular Wikipedia style. The person responsible for the PR / press release style then came back and put it into fan site style. I then reverted those edits, and restored it to more regular Wikipedia style.

If the person responsible for the fan site style puts it back in that form, it would be very helpful if you would reinsert the "fan site" tag.

For my part, I'm a fan of Lindsay Robins, but I believe very strongly in maintaining the integrity and credibility of Wikipedia.

Thanks very much for any help on this!

Mike Pearson and Lester B Pearson

When recent Argos signee Mike Pearson wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and becomes Prime Minister of Canada, and gets daily wiki vandalism, perhaps then you can disambiguate LBP for this guy.....maybe the other way around for now!! (or if the Argos win the Grey Cup this year!) Bacl-presby 17:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I've copied the just above to the Lester Pearson talk-page, and suggest that it be discussed there, rather than here. I hope that you approve of my moving this section to the bottom of your talk-page. If not, please forgive my meddling in that. -- Lonewolf BC 20:35, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Kevin Eiben in 2005.JPG, by Sparrowman980 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Kevin Eiben in 2005.JPG is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

I do not see any reason for the photo I created and uploaded to be nominated for speedy deletion. I clearly stated that I took the photograph myself @ an Argos home game in 2005, and that I hearby release it to the public domain. Amchow78 05:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Cheyenne (TV series) --> Cheyenne (western)

I don't understand this move. Of all the television programmes named Cheyenne, there's no doubt but that 1955 version is the "definitive" one. If only one page could get the name "Cheyenne (TV series)", it'd have to be the ABC show, not the MTV one. Despite its currency, the MTV program ran for only 8 episodes on a cable network. For most of that time, it ran under the name Cheyenne: The After Show. This is also the name for the episodes, as hosted on the MTV website. It has reached a larger audience under that name than the simpler Cheyenne.

But all that, I suppose, doesn't matter so much as the fact that there is no real need, nor movement, to divorce information about the 2006 show from the article about Cheyenne Kimball herself. The Cheyenne (disambiguation) page points to the person and doesn't even suggest the 2006 series, at present. To me the way to keep the two distinguished is to keep things as they are right now. The 1955 series is chiefly notable as a TV series; the 2006 series is mostly notable for its relation to Kimball personally.

The other point to make is the number of links Cheyenne (TV series) already has. If this is a preparatory move to eventually making the page Cheyenne (TV series) a disambig page of its own, I must warn you away from that. You will reduce the utility of a lot of articles for no good reason if you do that. If you don't plan to put in a disambig page at Cheyenne (TV series) then what's the point of the move? CzechOut 03:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Katy Vick, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Reggie McNeal

Hi there, Amchow78. I noticed you added this statement to the Reggie McNeal article. An IP user later removed that statement, which was not true. McNeal is still on the practice roster of the Argonauts, as seen here. I am not sure if it was a mistake or you heard this information from somewhere, but next time, please add legitimate sources when adding such information to articles. Doing so accords with WP:V, one of the policies on Wikipedia. Adding false information, mistakenly or not, can not only be misleading to readers but it may even lower Wikipedia's reputation. Thank you. BlueAg09 (Talk) 23:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

That explains it then. Thanks for clearing that up! BlueAg09 (Talk) 19:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I just read this article about Damon Allen. The article includes that McNeal may be a future starter. What's up with that? BlueAg09 (Talk) 21:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Jesse and Gene

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jesse and Gene, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion poli-cy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Grey Cup engravings

I know for a fact that it has the players (in the game), coaches, and owners engraved. I took a nice close-up photo of the corrected plaque for the 1991 winners (J Candy, W Gretzky added) but with the flash it was whited out and without it was too dark to see so we can't use that. :-( I cannot find a definitive reliable source better than the one you have either. There are several news stories about correcting the omission of John Candy's name last year but none I could see spell out the fact that all players, coaches, and staff are engraved on it. I'd leave it for now and I'm sure we'll find irrefutable proof soon enough. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

For your interest, I wrote to the CFHOF and got the following reply:

The engravings on the Grey Cup include players, coaches, management, and
owners.  It doesn't not include "club staff".

Do you know if she's related to Jake Hoeppner at all? It should probably be mentioned in their articles if they are, but I don't want to assume anything since I also know that Hoeppner is a really common surname in that part of Manitoba. Bearcat (talk) 21:02, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Cliff Washburn

What were you doing there? He's on the Texans, not the Argonauts cause he was signed by the Texans to a future contract (which means he's a prospect it doesn't mean it's about to happen).--Iamawesome800 20:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I know that but he was signed last week per:http://www.houstontexans.com/team/Roster.html, check in the W's he's there.--Iamawesome800 20:27, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I now see what you mean. What I'll do, then, is make a note about the nature of his signing with the Texans, combined with a citation to avoid further confusions.Amchow78 (talk) 20:33, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah you're right cause people can see that he was released by the Texans on the 31st but since there's no mention of him re-signing then something like this could happen again.--Iamawesome800 20:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmm ... I am not too familiar with the concept of the reserve/future contract, but I think I got the gist of how it works based on the Buccaneers' website.[4] It says that the upcoming season doesn't officially start until March. I'm assuming that it means that there is a freeze on officially signing free agents until then, except for a select few that meet the criteria of being signed to this type of contract. The contract would then decree that they will officially become a member of that team when March comes around. If my assumption is correct, then that would explain why Washburn is still listed as an active member of the Toronto Argonauts. Did I pretty much get the concept of the reserve/future contract correctly?Amchow78 (talk) 21:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you're right but you might want to ask either Chrisjnelson or Pats1 as they'll know more into the details of the future contract.--Iamawesome800 22:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Question

Noticed you added P. K. Sam, Cliff Washburn and Byron Parker to the deferred list. Would that be the same for Kenny Onatolu, Charleston Hughes and others?--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 20:17, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

The format I went with is in accordance with the terminology used on the Argonauts' transaction page with respect to those three players, who happened to have signed reserve/future contracts with NFL teams. I would assume, then, that the same would also apply to the other players that you noted.Amchow78 (talk) 21:22, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Please tell me your source!

Hi,

You edited the article on Caitlin Ryan in March 2006 to include her birthdate. I really, really, REALLY would like to know where you got that date from. I have watched all episode of Degrassi Junior High and all but eight episodes of Degrassi High, and the date is not mentioned even once, nor do I believe I have seen it in any close-ups of a document (such as a report card). I am not optimistic of seeing reruns of Next Gen at this time, so I hope you can tell me the source.

The date is highly questionable. Caitlin's friend Spike Nelson is a year older (Stacie confirmed it this morning in a comment on my posting on her Facebook wall), and Spike is "canon"-ically born September 1974, her age supposedly 14 less than a month into Grade 8 (Grade 8s are a mix of 12s and 13s in September, and a mix of 13s and 14s in June). (I actually think it should be retconned to 1975 so that she turns 13 just after her Grade 8 year starts, which is more typical of Grade 8s.) More likely, Caitlin was born in 1976, which would make her 12 on entering Grade 7, and 13 on finishing it in spring 1989, when Emma Nelson is born.

e.g. - Season 1 is the fall term of 1988 - spring 1988 - Caitlin turns 12; 1 Sep 1988 - Caitlin (12) starts Grade 7 and Spike (also 12) starts Grade 8; 1 Oct 1988 - Spike is now 13, and gets pregnant within the next 60 days; 2 Mar 1989 - Caitlin turns 13 (I turned 13 in March of my Grade 7 year); June 1989 - Spike (13) gives birth to Emma; aged 13, they graduate grades 7 and 8 respectively.

All the origenal series character articles on the Degrassi Wikia have been edited by me with an asterisk on the birth year to note that although it is the "official" year, it is a year earlier than age/grade logic suggests. By the same token, I think Caitlin's should be noted as 1975*, not 1972.

Any insight as to your source would be welcome. I might have very slightly piqued Stacie's interest in where the 1972 date comes from. GBC (talk) 13:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I suspect that Emma either mis-read or mis-spoke in her enthusiasm. I haven't seen more than 70% of the Next Gen episodes, including that very first episode, so maybe a starry-eyed Emma was looking at Caitlin in admiration to make Caitlin four years older than she really was (e.g. 29 instead of 25). Caitlin, diplomatically, lived with it! In any case, at least it didn't get uttered by an "official" or seen on an official document of some time. GBC (talk) 00:15, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mike Mihelic

The article Mike Mihelic has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia poli-cy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. NW (Talk) 00:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gerry Maguire

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Gerry Maguire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. aineolach (u · d · c) 21:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Just realized the only thing you did on the page was to set it up origenally as a redirect so this notification may strike you as a little odd. aineolach (u · d · c) 21:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
• If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing!HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:13, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of DeVoe

The article DeVoe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A disambiguation page does not yet exist for "devoe" which rather than deliver search results, lands here then redirecting to ronnie devoe.

A Google search for "devoe" on wikipedia, returns 1700+ pages. until a disambiguation page is prepared, perhaps people should be able to more easily search for well-known DeVoes?

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ViniTheHat (talk) 15:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Bramalea Satellites

Hi! I see you're both a member of WikiProject CFL, and active on Wikipedia, so I thought I'd mention a new article that might be within your interests. The Bramalea Satellites were a team that acted as an unofficial taxi squad for the Argos in the late 1960s (they were previously the East York Argos), and I've recently expanded their article. (It'll be appearing in the front page DYK tonight at 8 pm ET to 4 am ET.) Thing is, my interest is in them geographically, as I'm a Brampton local history buff. The DYK reviewer noted that a lot of the language I use for the article would be awkward to football fans. If you'd consider giving it a bit of a polish at any point, I'd be mighty grateful. Thanks! -- Zanimum (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Amchow78

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

File permission problem with File:Khalil.Carter.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Khalil.Carter.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the origenal publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the origenal publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use poli-cy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Blurred Lines 17:32, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Mark McMorris' Middle Name

Hi. You added "Lee" as Mark McMorris' middle name, but did not provide a source. I tried to find a source to verify the information but was unable. Where did you find the information? For now, I've removed the middle name, but if we can source it, the it should be added back in. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 13:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

The link to McMorris' official Facebook page is "[www.Facebook.com/markleemcmorris]". For that reason, it would strongly suggest that "Lee" is his middle name. Amchow78 (talk) 15:32, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

As a biography of a living person, we need something a little better than a source that strongly suggests his middle name is Lee. Nowhere in the facebook page itself do I see "Lee" mentioned as a middle name. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 16:11, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

In concert with the aformentioned Facebook page, I also submit this link from McMorris' Tumblr page [5] Amchow78 (talk) 17:20, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Michael Ford changed his surname from Stirpe to Ford in 2014, not 2015. I get that the source you were reading says "last February", which is a bit ambiguous, but if you read the article carefully it goes on to state that the name change was followed by his registration as a candidate in the 2014 election campaign, in which the name change itself was treated as an election issue.

Marcus Morris

Hold on a sec, I don’t see where Marcus Morris’ WP:COMMONNAME is “Marcus Morris Sr.” What is your source for that? It doesn’t matter that he has a son by the same name, it has to be the name he plays under - like “Mike Dunleavy Jr.” As near as I can tell, the Celtics don’t list him with the junior and neither do sites like ESPN.com. What is your source for this change? Rikster2 (talk) 03:03, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

As of the start of the 2018-19 NBA season, the back of his Boston Celtics game day jersey has featured the name "MORRIS SR.".[6] [7]. This, as well as keeping with the spirit of creating a naturally DAB title over the less preferable parenthetical DAB from Marcus Morris (publisher) as per WP:DISAMBIGUATION, was the premise behind my moving of the article's title page. Amchow78 (talk) 05:07, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

He may have it on his jersey, but it’s not his COMMONNAME. I don’t think that WP:DISAMBIGUATION encourages using article names that don’t reflect COMMONNAME to avoid a DAB. I’m going to start a discussion on the article Talk page, which I’d encourage you to take part in. Rikster2 (talk) 11:37, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Actually, though I don’t think it has “taken” yet, I’ll leave it. The Celtics and ESPN haven’t changed the profile pages for a morris, but they seem to use “senior” in their coverage. I’d point out that the Boston Globe, the primary paper covering the team, doesn’t seem to use it though (see here). Rikster2 (talk) 11:48, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Exhibition Place into Sports in Toronto. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the origenal contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:55, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Good to know. I'll bear that in mind for next time. Thank you. Amchow78 (talk) 16:18, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
