When and when not to use the "Citation needed" tag

Hey there – with all due respect, I know you're trying your best to improve a bunch of articles, but there are times when the {{Citation needed}} tag is needed, and others where it isn't. On the occasions where I've pulled you up on it, such as summarising statistics and All-Australian selections, they aren't required, so please refrain from adding the tag when it isn't necessary. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 09:42, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been looking to see if there's anything on Wikipedia to indicate that anything like an All-Australian selection or a statistic wouldn't need a citation, and the only thing I could find is here, where it actually says that one of the few things that citations are specifically needed for is for statistics. TripleRoryFan (talk) 09:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Just thought I'd offer another opinion seeing as you're new to Wikipedia. I'm not really sure where that was pulled from but statistics 100% have to be cited (even to AFL Tables is fine). If it's an article about a BLP, then essentially everything will need an inline citation. The amount of vandalism I see where someone is listed as an AA during the season or a day or two before the ceremony further shows the need for a citation for verification. A piece of advice though is if there are multiple {{citation needed}} tags, then perhaps do a {{BLP sources}} or {{moresources}} tag instead (if not doing so already). But keep up the good work elsewhere. Thanks, Flickerd (talk) 11:28, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a useful tip

Hi mate, thanks for all the great work you're doing with player articles!!! Try, however, not to change and replace the bowling and batting data in the info boxes, and if you do, make sure you don't get rid of the role or unlink the bowling syle.

Disambiguation link notification for December 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Michael Neser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Australia A (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your recent corrections

Just wanted to know why should articles related to Australian Big Bash League need double pipes to link with these articles. Why are they stylized like this? E.g. [[Australian Big Bash league season|BBL|17]] instead of [[Australian Big Bash league season|2017-18 season]]. Pkbwcgs (talk) 13:38, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pkbwcgs (talk · contribs) I've been doing it like that because it's concise and a lot of media refers to the seasons by BBL|04, especially the sources that I'm getting information from on cricket.com.au and from the advertiser. I'll try to avoid double piping by using {{!}} instead of |. TripleRoryFan (talk) 01:21, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
Ceranthor, Numerounovedant, Carbrera, Farang Rak Tham and Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Australian ODI players

At some point between 25 Feb and today, you made an edit to the page List of Australia ODI cricketers. Unfortunately, before your edit a vandalistic edit was made so that some bogan could pretend he'd made 15,000 runs for Australia when he does not exist. I have reverted everything up to then so, if you wish to make your edit again, please do so. 79.71.9.109 (talk) 20:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
