Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Brian Boland (footballer) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

editThanks for creating the article. What is your source for his DOB? It isn't in any of the sources, either his UVA or SC profiles, or anywhere else I can find on the web. I also see no confirmation that High Point is his POB. It's definitely his "hometown," but need a reliable source for this. Rikster2 (talk) 12:07, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Never mind, found it on draft express. Place of birth still not confirmed. Rikster2 (talk) 12:14, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for April 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Carlos Rodon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:44, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Invitation to the African Destubathon
editHi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Eclipse13. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Sophia Smith (soccer), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
Thank you + invitation

Ways to improve Nick Abruzzese
editHello, Eclipse13,
Thank you for creating Nick Abruzzese.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
I see you have created a lot of articles about athletes. The most recent two I've reviewed have been about hockey players. Unfortunately, they do not meet the criteria for notability and will be deleted. Please refer to WP:NSPORTS for the requirements we use. There are a lot of athletes out there and we can't include them all.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Cliffsteinman}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
The article Mitchell Chaffee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Appears to fail WP:GNG via only WP:ROUTINE-type coverage (a few college game mentions and recent transaction) and fails WP:NHOCKEY (Hockey East First All-Star Team is not equivalent to First or Second Team All-American in NHOCKEY#4).

Ice hockey notability guidelines
editCan you explain how the articles you've been creating meet Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Ice_hockey guidelines? I don't follow ice hockey closely, but the few that I've looked at don't seem to meet any of the criteria. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
