Hi Pmaster12! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. |
UDFA/FA bios
I appreciate the hard work you have been putting in but is it possible you can slow up a bit with creating an article for every player on the roster? Some of them didn't even make it past rookie minicamp and won't make it out of training camp (Lanier Coleman, for example, has been bounced around since 2009 and has yet to latch on anywhere as of yet). Unless they have had a considerably notable collegiate career, it's best to wait on creating an article for them until they actually make the opening day roster. -- The Writer 2.0 02:02, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Please don't forget to include Categories in articles
Hello, several of your new articles were filed in WP:UNCAT because you did not include a WP:Category for them. Please do include cats in the future, as not doing so makes your article hard to find and makes more work for the cleanup crew. Do not use huge broad categories like Category:Football or Category:Maryland, but go specific; check out some well-developed articles for famous football players to get some ideas of how categories are used. They're not like YouTube tags with just general words, they're a very tight multi-filing system. Thanks! MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles
Hello,
I'm writing again to express my concerns. While your contributions are indeed appreciated, the rate with which you are creating articles that are non-notable is alarming. Players such as Patrick Scales, Roosevelt Holliday (who was released a mere days after being signed), Jeffrey Shugarts, and others who you have created articles for the New York Jets team do not meet WP:Athlete. I'm asking you to please be a bit more selective when it comes to creating articles. Thank you. -- The Writer 2.0 22:59, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Football biographies
I see that you've still been creating articles about New York Jets players who don't meet WP:ATHLETE after The Writer 2.0 left you the previous message. Please stop doing this - the articles will only get deleted or merged, and if you keep doing it I think it would count as disruptive editing, which you could be blocked for. Let me know if you have any questions about WP:ATHLETE, and I'll walk you through it - just leave me a note on my talk page. Best — Mr. Stradivarius 07:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Talkback
Message added 07:09, 5 August 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Administrators' noticeboard thread
Hi Pmaster12. This is to let you know that I've opened a thread at the administrators' noticeboard asking for advice about some of your football biographies. Have a read through it and feel free to post there as well. If you're not familiar with any of the jargon I've used just ask me on my talk page and I'll explain it. (Also, Misplaced Pages:Glossary might be helpful.) Best — Mr. Stradivarius 05:40, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've closed the thread down now, as I got the advice I was looking for, and the administrators' noticeboard isn't the place for deciding content decisions such as whether to delete articles or not (that's what articles for deletion and deletion review are for). I did notice your post about readers wanting to read about "a certain individual that they admire", though. I see where you're coming from here, but unfortunately this kind of argument doesn't usually carry too much weight in deletion discussions. See the essay "arguments to avoid in deletion discussions", and especially the section on "it contains valuable information" for the general attitudes towards this.
There are many different views about the deletion of articles, and you are not alone in wanting borderline ones to be kept. However, for better or worse, we as a community have worked out guidelines about what to keep and what to delete, and those guidelines can't be overruled by any one editor. In this case the guideline is WP:ATHLETE - if you can prove that the pages you've created have passed this guideline, then we can keep them with no problem, If they don't, then they will most likely deleted. That is just the way this community works, I'm afraid. Even if your articles get deleted, though, you can still put them on another wiki or on a blog, etc., so they don't have to be gone for good. If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to ask. — Mr. Stradivarius 20:14, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Taylor Stockemer
The article Taylor Stockemer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evidence of meeting WP:ATHLETE was released way before training camp, unremarkable college career
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Secret 17:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
