Since I've been monitoring it, yours is the first (other than mine) edit on List of American football stadiums by capacity from a registered editor that hadn't confused attendance and capacity. Thank you. Sumanuil ( talk) 23:28, 3 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Haha no problem. I've been around college football too much to not know the difference. Thank you!-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 21:17, 4 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Please stop trying to move these pages by cutting and pasting. That is not how pages should be moved. If you think these need to be moved and can't properly move them yourself, please see the instructions at WP:RM. And please note that as a previous discussion for this precise move failed to establish consensus, this cannot be done as a technical request but should have a new discussion to establish new consensus. olderwiser 19:27, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply

User talk:Bkonrad I do appreciate you reaching out to me however I believe that there should be a new discussion. The comments on that talk page date back almost 8 years ago to 2010. I have started a new discussion at the talk page of FSU (disambiguation). Feel free to comment.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 19:32, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply
Yes, I indicated a new discussion is needed. You might want to review the instructions at WP:RM for how to have the discussion listed at WP:RM for the attention of any interested editors. olderwiser 19:37, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply
I tried to set up the discussion. If I did anything wrong in trying to get this to the discussion page let me know. Thank you.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 20:01, 5 December 2017 (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. Lithopsian ( talk) 19:56, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply

It is very distressing that you continued the edit war after starting the move discussion. Any further edits to implement this move before consensus is obtained will likely result in an immediate block -- and I strongly suggest you let someone else implement it if consensus is for your suggestion. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:18, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Yes I'm done trying to revert it. I'm trying to start the discussion now.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 21:45, 5 December 2017 (UTC) reply

February 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.

You know better; cut it out. ElKevbo ( talk) 17:09, 3 February 2018 (UTC) reply

Sorry and will do.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 18:40, 3 February 2018 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gun laws in Florida, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hillsborough County ( check to confirm |  fix with Dab solver).

LGBT culture in Miami moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, LGBT culture in Miami, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. ( ?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed ( verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Regards, SshibumXZ ( talk · contribs). 05:54, 23 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Sorry about that! I definitely should have made it a draft. Thank you for helping me out with that. I thought I would have enough time to finish it but I didn't. Will do!-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 16:24, 23 October 2018 (UTC) reply
SeminoleNation, no problem; the article looks very good now, though, so, well done! Regards, SshibumXZ ( talk · contribs). 16:46, 24 October 2018 (UTC) reply
I do have a question though SshibumXZ...How do I get the article out of being a draft? Someone commented saying it was good enough to accept. I cleaned up some promotional things in the article and it's still pending review. Who exactly needs to approve this?-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 20:17, 24 October 2018 (UTC) reply
SeminoleNation, you submit it for review. But, as your draft as already been published, I would like think that you already know that. Drafts are approved by AFC reviewers, in your case it was Bkissin. In the main namespace, a new page patroller/reviewer reviews the page (an AFC reviewer—even if he or she possesses the new page reviewer right—usually doesn't review the page. So, in this case, I have already reviewed LGBT culture in Miami, so, nothing further needs to be done. I bid you a very good day and happy editing!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Miami into Music of Miami. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 21:48, 3 November 2018 (UTC) reply

Oops. Sorry I didn't know. I moved that content because it was out of place. I thought it would be better on the dedicated page for that topic.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 02:03, 4 November 2018 (UTC) reply
And again on Government of Miami-Dade County, copied from Government of Los Angeles County. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 16:07, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply
I promise I'm not doing it intentionally. I forgot about leaving that attribution comment. I will follow this next time. Again, sorry about that Diannaa.-- SeminoleNation ( talk) 17:26, 8 November 2018 (UTC) reply

Regarding your edits to Tallahassee and Leon County that I removed – I appreciate what you're trying to add, but the edit to Leon County refers to it as a city twice. For both of them, most of that paragraph is unsourced, and the "this is likely due" sentence would seem speculative, even with a source. I suggest finding sources for the information you added, and making the Leon County paragraph more specific to that jurisdiction. Starrfruit ( talk) 00:39, 4 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Copyright problem icon Your edit to Critical race theory has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Florida International University! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{ cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. This is particularly important because bare URLs are not permitted at GA status. Please make an effort to use citation templates when adding new citations to the FIU article.
