January 2025

Hello. Please read what is already in an article before adding to it. In the article for Harri Heliovaara you added a citation from a source already used a few sentences earlier. It is fine to use a source in more than one place in the same article but you should ensure it is attributed once using the appropriate procedure Shrug02 (talk) 15:27, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the message, I repeated the source because it was separated by several sentences, and I am not sure how to attribute it if the sentences are separated. It didn't make much grammatical sense to have the sentences together. Is there some citation procedure I should be aware of? Sorry for any confusion. I did check the article before writing it, I'm fairly sure I wrote the edit that appeared several sentences prior. Jkitch503 (talk) 17:17, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

No worries. Yes there's a way to do it. If you look at the Harri Heliovaara article you'll see how I did it with the reference you used. It's quite straightforward. When I first started I spent ages looking for different sources to avoid duplicates then someone pointed out the way to use the same source more than once and it saved me loads of time. Just looking to pass on the knowledge in the spirit of cooperation. Best wishes. Shrug02 (talk) 17:37, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, always nice to learn something new. I changed the ref name to avoid any confusion (since ATP is a bit general). Love when I can find something to save a bit of time :) Jkitch503 (talk) 17:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

2026 Purdue Boilermakers football team moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to 2026 Purdue Boilermakers football team. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JTtheOG (talk) 19:50, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ola Adams (January 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SportingFlyer was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't think the sourcing here is quite good enough - it's either not independent or just an announcement that he's been hired, which is typically considered routine. Are there more sources out there?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit it after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ola Adams and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ola Adams (February 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Athanelar was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

You seem to be under the impression that you need to add more content to the draft to improve it, but that is not the case. You need to add sources that meet the requirements at WP:42. The run-of-the-mill coverage about mundane, routine details like transfers do not substantiate notability. You need WP:SIGCOV.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit it after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ola Adams and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2026-27 Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles men's basketball

A tag has been placed on 2026-27 Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles men's basketball requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Draft:2025 Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team

Hi there! I wanted to let you know that I've declined your speedy deletion nomination of 2025 Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team because your draft, Draft:2025 Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team, isn't quite ready for mainspace. Specifically, I noticed that it does not yet have a lead section. Please add this, then you can submit the article for review. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 11:55, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Drafts

Hello, Jkitch503, I'm Bearcat. Please note that pages in draft space, such as Draft:Bryce Lindsay or Draft:Samet Yiğitoğlu, are not allowed to be categorized alongside finished articles in mainspace, per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. The pages must stay out of any categories so long as they are outside mainspace, and this is not an optional rule that you're free to disregard or ignore.

You can provisionally list categories in your draft without affecting content categories by using one of the methods described here.

As the pages has had to be pulled out of categories multiple times each in the past three days, do not readd them to categories again, because draft and sandbox pages are not allowed to be in content categories. Note as well that there can be consequences for disruption if it doesn't stop, such as page protection or deletion and/or the temporary or permanent suspension of your editing privileges. Bearcat (talk) 03:42, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

My apologies. Wasn't aware that was what was happening. I'll leave as is! Jkitch503 (talk) 03:50, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
