Hello, I dream of horses, and thank you for the welcome. I'm not exactly a new Wikipedia editor, but I have had a recent surge in editing activity. Did I do something wrong to bring myself to your attention? I already take care to do most of the things you suggested (e.g. making edit summaries, signing talk page posts). Ebbillings (talk) 15:39, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback on Death of Dan Markingson. My collaborator and I will try to follow your suggestion in August or September. Saenger (talk) 12:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Before you you put too much effort into that article, you should know that he does meet any of the presumed notability criteria listed in WP:NHOCKEY. From the sources he is listed in are all either stats pages (which give no notability for WP:GNG) or are WP:ROUTINE sources (non-independent, primary, or local coverage). He needs at least two reliable independent secondary sources to WP:GNG and I have found none. Yosemiter (talk) 14:19, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, Yosemiter. However, as far as I can tell, Meyer does meet WP:NHOCKEY criterion number three four, as he was named to the NCAA Division I All-American Second Team in 2001. I did quite a bit of searching to find that fact before I decided to proceed with improving the article. (I've also included a sentence and reference for that fact in the article.) If I am misunderstanding or misinterpreting something, please let me know. ebbillings (talk) 14:37, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Meyer was also named to the All-WCHA First Team in that same season, which also fulfills criterion number four. ebbillings (talk) 14:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Once I saw the NCAA Second Team, I started looking into it and it does (I was under the impression only First Team qualified) and was about to remove the Prod tag but you beat me to it. However, the WCHA First does not qualify, it must be NCAA Div I All American for criterion #4. Although he does meet the lowest standard for presumed notability, have you actually found any WP:GNG sources? NHOCKEY is for presumed notability, but does not guarantee it, the subject MUST still pass GNG. Yosemiter (talk) 15:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On 8 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in a recent court case, the Minnesota Supreme Court resolved a dispute between the state's legislative and executive branches for the first time in its history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The fact was ... that after his college football career, Psalm Wooching decided to pursue a professional career in rugby union despite receiving significant interest from NFL teams? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Psalm Wooching. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Psalm Wooching), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello Ebbillings,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Caorongjin and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Bill King (rugby league) for deletion, because it is unnecessary and disambiguates only a single page.

If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Caorongjin}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

The article Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton for issues which need to be addressed.

I see you recently accepted a pending change to September 1 that did not include a direct source.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline and the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 22:41, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
