Page mover granted

Hello, Hey man im josh. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 09:53, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I’ve removed it on her behalf. new page uploaded soon Gmailuserwiki (talk) 12:46, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

@Gmailuserwiki, someone's request to remove content is not a valid reason to remove content. You're welcome to update the article and expand it, but there's no reason to leave the page blank.Hey man im josh (talk) 12:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Brady

Hello! Props to how well you are handling the deep conversations on the Tom Brady talk page. It isn't easy to have that deep of a conversation on a topic where there are different sides. Appreciate the great work on here as a whole. Red Director (talk) 13:44, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @Red Director, I appreciate when people are willing to work together from a neutral point. Thank you for noticing and for all the awesome work that you do on here! Hey man im josh (talk) 13:45, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Jersey number

Googling when I was reviewing the edit history I found this which suggests his Eagles number will be 23 now? Steven Walling • talk 02:31, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Steven Walling, thanks for reaching out and sharing that source, I was wondering where the number came from. Since he implies he'll be #23, and the Eagles list him as #22, it's hard to tell what his number will actually be. This seems like one of those situations where we're just going to have to wait and see what number he's wearing in practice since people making changes based on either source aren't technically wrong. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Well that worked itself out, he's now #23 on the Eagles website and someone must have just entered his number in incorrectly at first. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

This user is only being blocked for a week, despite being a clear and obvious VOA and should be blocked indefinitely. TheFishDude539 (talk) 16:16, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @TheFishDude539, this was adjusted by another admin pretty quickly. It's perm now. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

SD of User talk:59abcd

Hi, Just wanted to confirm why you put the SD tag on my user page. The image of the man is not myself - been on the Commons for a while and I just picked it up since looked so amusing. Also just enjoy the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic flags too so though it would be quite fun to have a bit of a silly tongue-in-check page! I have had an account in the past with over 10k edits but vanished it legitimately since don't have much intention to actually return to significant editing. 59abcd (talk) 17:19, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello @59abcd. I believe the message left on your talk page adequately explains why I nominated the page. Please see WP:NOTWEBHOST. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:28, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't really understand how it fails that. None of the content is mine - it's all from the Commons (and has been there for a while) and it certainly is not extensive (just a few pictures). 59abcd (talk) 17:32, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

It was primarily because your user page was not really related to Wikipedia in any way, but instead was expressing your personal views. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:18, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I think that changes need to be made

User:Hmlarson/Lorraine Hunt (footballer) should be merged into Lorraine Hunt (football) and UEFA Women's Euro 2001 Final should be merged into UEFA Women's Euro 2001 final what do you think? Dwanyewest (talk) 11:25, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm not really a great person to ask about this, as it's still something I'm gaining more experience in. I see that they've been proposed for merge as of now, so I'd just let that play out. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:22, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey man

Hey Hey!

So I noticed that you edited after my Beyoncé redirects that I made and I have concerns. In my opinion because "Cuff It", for example, is only one song its unnecessary disambiguation redirects don't also need to be 'R from songs'. Because its only one song, not three. Let me know what you think!😌

🤪I'm a Tree Critter (talk) 15:57, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Tree Critter, in my opinion, it can be both. I personally see no issue with a redirect having multiple tags. Thanks for reaching out to talk about it though, just in case I am making some kind of mistake =P Hey man im josh (talk) 11:43, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Taken Jersey Numbers (NFL)

I just want to let you know that you reverted my edits about taken jersey numbers, and just because that jersey number is from a team website, doesn’t mean it’s 100% true. Injuries are no exceptions for taken jersey numbers, because usually when they come off IR, they usually switch numbers unless the player that took his number has been waived or traded. One person can take one jersey number during the regular season, not two. Thank you for understanding. ReaganHoang10 (talk) 22:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@ReaganHoang10, regarding your claim of players usually changing numbers when they come off IR, that's completely untrue. Players on the main roster, including IR, have priority over practice squad players.

Team websites are ABSOLUTELY the most reliable for player numbers. I'm now very curious on where you would say is more reliable. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:49, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

How do we know? One time in 2021 Lynn Bowden Jr. was on IR for the Miami Dolphins and his number was #6, but it was taken by Trill Williams, so when he came off IR the next season, he switched to #3. So 75% of the time players switch numbers when their number is taken because they are injured, unless the other player that took the number gets waived, traded, or retired. ReaganHoang10 (talk) 14:52, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Where are you getting this 75% figure from? You have one example of this happening. I'll happily yield if you can find something official that states a player on the practice squad has priority for numbers over a player on IR. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:00, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

And preseason jersey number rules are different, because 2 players on the same side of the ball can’t have the same number, but in the regular season only 1 player can have a number. ReaganHoang10 (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Players on the practice squad are not considered part of the roster. Players coming off IR typically go directly to the roster or they end up being released and then added back to the practice squad. So players on IR are, essentially, on the regular team while players on the practice squad are not. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

The 75% part is approximate. And how do we know practice squad players could choose any number they want, despite the number being taken? ReaganHoang10 (talk) 15:02, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

It's unclear to me where you're getting this approximation from.

Usually the goal is to avoid it in case a practice squad player is elevated to the main roster. However, because of pre-season roster numbers, sometimes players end up keeping the same number until they are called up. Also consider that there's a very large price to pay for players to change their jersey numbers. Players on the regular roster, and IR, will usually have jerseys for sale whereas practice squad players are much less likely to have them for sale. This makes it easy and free for a practice squad player to change their number while players on the regular roster cannot do so without a heavy fee associated with it. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:08, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I don’t know where you got that from. ReaganHoang10 (talk) 14:54, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

User:ReaganHoang10

I see you've had some problems with this editor as well. The "reliable" Twitter account this editor is referencing is this one. You're an experienced enough editor that I'm sure you can see it's clearly not reliable. I actually advised that editor back in July on my talkpage to stop using this Twitter account and they apparently didn't get the message.--Rockchalk717 04:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Rockchalk717, yes, I've had problems with them using reliable information. Oh great, a Twitter account, which is not considered a reliable source, and only had 768 followers. That's definitely not something I'd trust over a team's website. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:51, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Yeah exactly, and the editor doesn't seem to be understanding the point I'm making either. I'm hoping eventually that changes.--Rockchalk717 19:29, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

How is being correct not constructive?

It was one change to one player on Arizona's practice squad. It was one minor correction as Andrew Brown is a 3-4 defensive end Sagatorium (talk) 14:14, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

That was the third time you made that change after I reverted it with an explanation and sources. I provided multiple sources for Andrew Brown's position but you have failed to provide any. You did not communicate, you just kept making the change while I tried to tell you why that change was wrong. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Christian Henson

Would you please take a look at these edits? Sort of seems like some whitewashing. Claiming it's blp issue, but I think wp:TWITTER should apply as it Henson's own tweet(s). Henson's Twitter account was closed, but found archival hits Wayback Machine here The "J.K. Rowling" tweet here. Didn't find anything about the "Graham Linehan" tweet. Thanks Adakiko (talk) 19:57, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

It appears you are offline so I've asked Deepfriedokra. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:09, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Adakiko. Honestly, I'm glad you asked Deepfriedokra, because I'm not entirely sure on this one (I don't claim to be an expert). It's definitely something I'll follow to see the outcome of to better educate myself. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:13, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @TheEpTic, thank you so much!!! It always feels good when people notice and appreciate the battle being waged against vandals =) Hey man im josh (talk) 14:48, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello

Sorry to disturb you I didn't understand your point.I mean why shouldn't we blank it when the discussion has already been concluded??Is there any rule like that. If there is any rule then can you please share it to me. I joined Wikipedia just few days ago so I do messed up some things with my knowledge. That is the reason why I blanked it so that outsiders don't see it. Bheri Giridhar Kartikeya (talk) 14:24, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Bheri Giridhar Kartikeya, the common practice is to archive a discussion instead of deleting it. See WP:ARCHIVENOTDELETE. Per WP:TPO, you shouldn't delete other user's talk page posts but you're welcome to delete your own when removing them doesn't break up a conversation (such as when someone replied to your comment).

The idea is that someone else may come along wanting to start the exact same discussion as what was deleted, or may find an explanation as to why something is the way that it is. By leaving previous discussions you allow for other users to catch up or base new discussions on results of old discussions. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:32, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay thank you bro Bheri Giridhar Kartikeya (talk) 14:33, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Actually I am the one who created that topic so can I delete it or should I leave it like that???? Bheri Giridhar Kartikeya (talk) 14:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

In this case, because you asked a valid question and someone replied to, I'd leave that for others to see in the future. The two lines which someone did not respond to I would say isn't a problem to remove. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay Bheri Giridhar Kartikeya (talk) 14:40, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Changes at Lloyd Folkins

With this edit, you are correct in that Piffled used a weak argument for removing the material. However, the material in question was weak to begin with, having no sources whatsoever, so I would agree with its removal regardless of the family's concerns. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @WikiDan61, I agree that the unsourced material being removed isn't an issue, which is why I didn't revert it when they only removed that material. I was reverting because they were blanking the entire text, not just a portion. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:38, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, so I was adding some evidence to the article Cockatoos.

It was not inappropriate, it wasn't intended to advertise, it was intended as proof to a statement I have added Shannonkramer (talk) 18:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Shannonkramer.

Judging by your edits, I think it would do you a lot of good to read Help:Referencing for beginners. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
