Why did you revert my changes? It says on Template:Infobox venue that the parentheses shouldn’t be around the years. SportsFan007 ( talk) 09:29, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
|tenants=
parameter only, while you also removed them for the |former_names=
parameter. I reverted your additions, because the format written in the documentation is not used anywhere so it is most likely obsolete. Therefore, you should ask about it at
Template talk:Infobox venue about the situation. In addition, you also removed the parentheses on the
Oakland Raiders' page, which is a
completely different template and nowhere does it state that parentheses should be removed there also. –

Hello I just wanted to clarify a few things. So Santa Clara and San Francisco don't count as the same because of the differences between city and location? Also, on the Detroit Lions, their win % for home NFC Championship games is .000, yet for the Seattle Seahawks, their win % for road ones are a dash... yet both are 0-0 never appearing.

Hi, regarding the revert of the Brisbane Bullets colours, the logo on their main page is no longer their primary logo (see the club's website and their Facebook page for examples, though both are variants of the new logo). I am yet to update the logo on the main page itself, which has slight colour changes with the previous logo. dylan.ingleby ( talk) 14:01, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi! You reverted in "Crimean Karaites" the names of two cities to the Polish transcription. Yes, there were two periods, when they were belonging to Poland, but also in other times to Ukraine/Ruthenia, GDL, Russia, Ausria-Hungary and now, they belong to Ukraine. You may be surprised, but the language of GDL, which is the time when The Lithuanian Karaites also settled in lands of modern Belarus and Ukraine, which were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania - was, in fact not Polish. In official letters prevailed Latin, and in court - yes, Ruthenian. Until 1400 under Vitautas Polish elements were rather small. So, if we are talking about the beginnings of Karaites - there were no Lwów and Łuck, there were Львів/Leopolis and Лучеськ/Luсeskas. Since, I see no reason to go to much later Polish names (neither to Austrian or Russian). In the English article would be better to use English names of these cities: Lviv and Lutsk. If you have other ideas, please let me know. Mykola Swarnyk ( talk) 09:16, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

What gave you the impression that it didn't apply to infoboxes? Is there a MoS page that I'm unaware of, because the linking subpage doesn't say anything in particular about infoboxes. — Xezbeth ( talk) 12:39, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are usually not linked". The countries are relevant to the subject and the infobox is supposed to summarize the subject, which is why it is best to leave the links in the infobox at Thrash metal. – Sabbatino ( talk) 12:55, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Dude. The all-time record between NYR and NJ was sourced information. Look at reference #1. I also added a note saying that the record DID NOT include the Rangers' combined record against the KC Scouts and COL Rockies. Only the record since the fall of 1982 (when the teams became geographic rivals) should be included.
By the way, I've had it with you reverting my edits and trying to start edit wars with me. Ever since I created this account, you have policed my reversions on several articles. And after reading your talk page, it seems this is a habit you have with other users as well. Cut it out, bro. You're no more important than anyone else when it comes to improving Wiki articles.

Hi! Blue-black-white never was flag of the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, because On 8 May 1990 Estonian Supreme Soviet (which was the first democratically elected one since wwii) passed an act about National Symbols in which 1. Decided to end the usage of the name Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic and from this day on use the name Republic of Estonia 2. End the usage of Estonian SSR Flag, emblem and anthem as national symbols.
And on 7 August 1990 Supreme Council passed an act about state Flag and Coat of arms 1. adopt the flag and coat of arms used until august 1940 as official symbols of Republic of Estonia.
So Estonian SSR name ceased to exist on 8 May 1990, the country used the name Republic of Estonia, but was still part of USSR, until 20 August 1991. Such an overlap where Estonian SSR used Blue-black-white flag never existed. Flag of Estonia has been heavily edited and needs clean up. Klõps ( talk) 17:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Sabbatino. My edit at the Alice Cooper (band) article was an accident—I was in a hurry forgot that there was another infobox in another section of the article (later in the article) covering the Spiders. I don't mind your correction at all, that's fine, but I do take issue with the WP:GWAR characterization. I've been here a long time, and have never engaged in Genre-warring in info-boxes, in fact infoboxes are pretty low on my radar of priorities—I focus more on content creation.
The additional infobox about the Spiders goes back to when the Spiders had their own article—the two articles later got merged. But, I do think it might now be a good idea for us to consider folding the two infoboxes together as one—under the title "Alice Cooper (band)". Other than the name change, the Spiders were the exact same band—they even had the same membership, and there were no interruptions in their chronology between 1964 and 1974. It might be best to present the story more as a contiguous whole rather than two stories stitched together. My mind has changed on this. I actually created the separate article about the Spiders years ago (when I was a new editor), but I now think to is better to present the history of the band as a unified whole. I know that the Super Duper Alice Cooper documentary presents the years as the Spiders as integral, even fundamental in the story of Alice Cooper, so having one box in the article may work best.

Hi Sabbatino. I noticed you are well versed in upgrading the quality of NFL logos, so I have a request to ask. Let's get the stacked wordmark royal blue version I uploaded to File:LA Rams wordmark.svg (it's an official variant and the only one that can be used against a white/transparent background like wikipedia. The sol yellow version would be too hard to see with a white background for obvious reasons.) and have the quality of it upscaled and moved to File:Los Angeles Rams wordmark.svg.-- GalaxyFighter55 ( talk) 00:41, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
I've found a better quality version ( https://content.sportslogos.net/logos/7/6446/full/5909_los_angeles__chargers-wordmark-2020.png) of the Los Angeles Chargers wordmark that can be turned into a vector SVG.-- GalaxyFighter55 ( talk) 01:52, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I am wondering why you removed my COVID-19 mention from the Rudy Gobert article's intro. The reason why I placed it there initially is because his COVID-19 diagnosis is, needless to say, an important part of his life, as well as to the history of the NBA (side note: I am glad he has been cleared). The NBA season was suspended in reaction to his diagnosis, before anyone else's in the NBA world was known, and I don't have to explain how huge a deal the season suspension is.
I know that Wikipedia is not a news site per se, but his Covid-19 diagnosis had a direct and indirect impact on multiple professional sports leagues, and was felt globally; such will be regarded as true in the historic rendering of Covid-19's impact on the sports world. Therefore, while I don't fully understand why you took my addition to the intro away, I would like a fuller appreciation of your reasoning that is contrary to mine, if possible.
Cheers.

I noticed in other pages regarding this language the "i" with the pitch accent marks are soft dotted. In the "Lithuanian language" page, these accented "i" retain their dots and are hard dotted. I changed all instances to the counterpart that replaces the tittle since I find that totally unnecessary.
Anyways, I bet the rarity of these letters means there are no dedicated typeblocks for these characters, so the press relies on putting the accent on top of the "i" hence preserving the dot. This also happened in Vietnamese, where "ỉ" (which is far more common) retains its tittle while the other variants with an accent above does not, maybe because the hook above is novel at that time. Is there an official rule regarding the treatment of the tittle when adding the pitch accent of an "i"? --MULLIGANACEOUS-- ( talk) 23:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
Most of them. Including Lithuanian Orthography and Wiktionary. --MULLIGANACEOUS-- ( talk) 23:27, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Furthermore, where is the source of the official dot-retaining rule (besides Unicode) upon accenting an "i"?
There is no dotless "i" in Lithuanian so ì, í, ĩ, and their ogonek counterparts are completely correct as well. --MULLIGANACEOUS-- ( talk) 02:32, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Quite surprised that some sources state that the hard-dotted accented "i" is the correct way to write such an uncommon letter. Maybe because "i" already has a dot and is to "ė" and not to "e". There is no dotless counterpart of "i", in which Turkish makes a clear difference.
I am wondering, how closely is this hard-dotting rule followed? In my opinion

Hi, I've noticed of your reversions of my edits on 1991 NBA finals and Chicago Bulls, where you summarized "a scan from a magazine is not a proper image". That means that scanned images are not suitable for being used on this project? I don't think so.
Moreover, I've never heard of a single edit reverted because of that, so your "reasons" to override my changes seems to be inaccurate, unless they are based on a manual of style that I don't know yet. Otherwise, I think it should be discussed in other place to hear feedback from other users that help me to clarify your assertions. - Fma12 ( talk) 15:47, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

You recently reverted and deleted much of the Kerry Kittles page. That's a shame because it was all accurate.
One thing that was actually slanderous was a reference by a Hoya website and you left that up.
I'll try to fix all this with as many cites as possible but the way it was done makes me think you are a bot and not a person as the info about his career was mostly common knowledge for fans of his teams.
Let me know what you need to be improved so this doesn't happen again.
Thanks. -MVicious
@Sabbatino Thanks for the info. Obviously I don't know how to do some things yet.lol I'll look into that and hopefully remember as I don't plan on doing too much more editing.

I saw that you edited the New York Islanders article to reflect that Nassau Coliseum is now their sole home arena. While I know this is correct, since Bettman announced that the NHL regular season is over, I just want to make sure that it is OK to edit further articles. For example, List of National Hockey League arenas still lists Barclays Center as one of the Islanders' arenas. I would be happy to help and go through these articles.
Also, it might be more accurate now to change the lead sentence in the New York Islanders article from "based in the New York metropolitan area" to "based in Uniondale, New York." Antenn050 ( talk) 20:12, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

You said so here. It depends on some things, seems like for example language. For example in Finnish, home team's number is listed before guest team's. If we for example have the match between Slovakia and Germany so, that Slovakia is the host and the home team:
Same thing with the Finnish ice hockey league, "SM-liiga", where the host city is the home team. Let us take Rauman Lukko from Rauma and Porin Ässät from Pori as examples with Lukko as host and home team. Then Lukko's number is listed first:
But this is Finnish way to list numbers. Is that "bigger first" always in English style or does it depend on some things?-- 176.93.171.2 ( talk) 22:33, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

I saw that you undid my 'aistis' edit in Balts eiki. Why? You stste that it's just a theory, but I constantly hear people saying `aisčiai` being `baltai` synonym. Even our history teacher said same thing. And even people either say `When were aisčiai been first mentioned?` or `When were Balts first mentioned?` and both of them have the same answer.
You can also check these: http://zodynai.igloro.info/sinonimai/ais%C4%8Diai/ https://lt.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/S%C4%85ra%C5%A1as:Sinonimai/lt/baltai/dkt https://www.lietuviuzodynas.lt/sinonimai/Baltai

Just to clear the air:
I don't appreciate you calling my edits "disruptive", as that clearly wasn't the intent.
All I wanted to do was highlight the championship season (and what's wrong with adding a little color to a boring chart?), and make a note about why the 2019-2020 season was cut short.
A disruptive edit is one with an obvious intent just to cause trouble, and my edits do not fit that particular bill.
It's not worth the trouble to go back and forth, so I'll leave it be, but don't just willy-nilly throw out terms like "disruptive edits" when you know that wasn't what I was trying to do.

There hasn’t ever been a consensus or even a convention to keep free agents on rosters once the free agency period starts - these players aren’t on those rosters unless they re-sign. I usually wait a while to remove them so the early free agent signings happen since a number of players re-sign, but we are a week and a half into free agency and teams are signing new players, etc. it doesn’t make sense to have a roster showing 25 players, some of whom are part of last year and some of whom are new for 2020-21. Besides, the official rosters often don’t get cleaned up by teams until right before the season starts - numbers are wrong, officially signed players are missing - we have probably a half dozen players still showing on team pages who have already started seasons in Europe for example.

I noticed you updated the template to accommodate the change in URLs for box scores. Wondering though if you think it's worth removing the need for team abbreviations from the id parameter because I have found that as long as the numbers are all correct, assuming no other part of the URL is wrong, it will link to the game.
For example, all of these links send you to the league's regular season opening game:
