Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Big Brother 26 (American season), is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Aditionally, please do not delete comments in your talk page as they can be restored easily. Thank you.

Jesus H. Christ, do not go around issuing warning templates if you have NO FUCKING CLUE what you’re doing. The Big Brother article is not a discussion page, so this “warning”, like most of your edits, makes zero sense. The re-write that I reinstated at least didn’t sound like it was written by a mediocre fourth-grader with a tenuous grasp of the English language. And I know someone like you with a proven history of edit warring and sockpuppetry isn’t accusing me or anyone else of bad form. 😒😒😒 Bgsu98 (Talk) 22:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon 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. Jd101991 (talk) 15:52, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This one's not going to go any better for you than the last one did. 😂😂😂 Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The references are not formatted or listed well as per other Wikipedia pages (see Yuzuru Hanyu for good example of ref format). It also provides social media which are not reliable and independent, so I was wondering if there are more reputable sources. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚。⋆ 16:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, it looks like the reference section of every other figure skating article I've ever encountered, so I'm not sure what about it looks off to you. As for social media, while it's not ideal, it's also not verboten depending on the circumstance. However, the link you cited (WP:LINKSTOAVOID) does not address the use of social media as a source, but instead instructs us to not link directly to social media in the article (for example, a link to someone's Instagram profile in the External links section of their article).

Thank you!

I appreciated your supportive comment at ANI – I wasn't quite sure if I was overreacting to an empty threat which had already been reverted, and it was good to get some validation that my reaction wasn't over the top. bonadea contributions talk 09:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having also been on the receiving end of a death threat on WP (I mean, come on...), I know how unpleasant it can be, but I also knew an administrator would quickly take care of it. Should there be a similar occurrence in the future, please do not hesitate to contact WP Trust & Safety via e-mail so as to avoid publicizing something like that on a high-profile forum.

Strictly Come Dancing Average charts

Hi, is there any reason why you only removed the average chart for the 2024 series and yet they are still there for the other previous series? MSalmon (talk) 16:48, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They should be removed from all seasons. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to ISU Junior Grand Prix in Switzerland. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 07:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Skate America/WP:DE

Hello. A) It wasn't disruptive. B) Just mentioning WP:DE in the edit summary without explaining why is not good enough. I matched the table to previous events/articles, I did not see a discussion about a new format, and you removed reliable sources. - JuneGloom07 Talk 19:47, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia prefers secondary sources, which ISU results are not and SS results are. Additionally, why on earth would you revert to a previous format which requires additional effort to maintain? If five columns call for the text to be centered and two call for the text to be left-justified, then you set the table default to center and manually set the other two cells to left.

Need you help

Information icon Hello there, if you have time, can you help me edit ice dancer Michael Parsons and Caroline Green detailed results. I've already add some information. If you can help me it will be more better. Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 09:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to update those when I have a chance. Thank you for your effort in keeping these skaters' articles updated. The only thing I would ask is that you use the new style tables that we developed a while back. The older style tables do not meet Wikipedia's MOS requirements and will have to eventually be replaced. Adding old-style tables now just increases the workload. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:53, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree and I will using new style tables. I think it was perfect and easily to edit. Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 04:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
