Hello, RandomEditsForWhenIRemember. I noticed that your recent edit to Borough of Eastleigh added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions.

Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 20:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Sumanuil, in this case there'd just been an issue uploading that image to wikicommons which I hadn't noticed before I'd edited the Eastleigh page. The image has been uploaded now so I've reverted your change, thanks. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 08:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Another pro wrestling article

Hello. I remember you did an awesome work with the Hulk Hogan article. As you know, there are many articles focusing on week per week TV plots. Would you take a look on the Kurt Angle article? I have tried to summarize, but I have seen a lot of his career (specially, TNA) it's hard to trim. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:04, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Hey @HHH Pedrigree , sounds good - I should be able to start taking a look at Angle's page tomorrow. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 19:43, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

.Thanks. I like to read interviews and add to the article. However, since I followed many of their careers, it's hard to summarize. I think "Oh, I remember this, it's important" with every line. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:56, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

No worries - I wasn't watching TNA at the time, and I would probably struggle in the same way with editing someone like Rollins' entry.

I've had a crack at the section now, roughly halving the word count. There's more to do on that page, but I think the TNA section should only need minor edits. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 10:21, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Japan Cup

On 12 January 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Japan Cup, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that, to help the 1989 Japan Cup winner Horlicks overcome homesickness from traveling to Japan for the race, her trainer used a dressing mirror to make her believe she had a stablemate? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Japan Cup. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Japan Cup), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Gog the Mild (talk) 17:06, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Fantastic news - delighted this got through! - SchroCat (talk) 22:38, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you both, that's very kind of you! :D There was definitely a point a few weeks in where it was going to time out, so I'm thrilled this managed to get over the line in the end with your help and patience. Onwards and upwards to the next one! RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 23:38, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Well, it was good enough a few weeks ago to start FAC when I did my PR on it, but RoySmith’s review was excellent and really added a layer of polish to the whole thing. I look forward to seeing you at FAC again! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 01:12, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Happy to have been of assistance. RoySmith (talk) 02:13, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Orton

Hello. First, it's sad to see a GA being demoted. However, you know, pro wrestling articles are hard. Anyway, while I think the article will lose the GA category, I tried to summarize the career. Since you did the same with Hulk Hogan, would you take a look on the article and summarize it? Thanks HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:51, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Hey, yeah that'd be no problem, I should have time to look tomorrow! Agreed on the GA front - I don't like getting a page demoted but as you said earlier, there's so many wrestling pages that got rated GA years ago and then slowly got bloated because they updated week-by-week. Plus stuff gets reverted a lot - I've given up trying to edit Seth Rollin's page now since usually by attempts to trim get changed back within a day or so.

Nice work on the lede by the way, that looks a lot better. RandomEditsForWhenIRemember (talk) 12:58, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, it's harden when Orton has a 20+ years career with WWE and has been a main eventer most part of the time. Also, the project thinks that every PPV match is notable, but that's how we end with +12.000 words. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 13:20, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

story · music · places

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Since late June or early July of last year, there has been a marked increase in the amount written on this website about Japanese horse racing, for reasons that are a mystery to all. As someone who's also fallen headfirst into the horse racing world recently, I'd like to present for consideration an article on the Japan Cup, the premier international invitational horse race in Japan. While still fairly young compared to many other big horses races ("only" 45 runs) there's still a rich history here that has been well covered by news reports and other sources, which I hope leads to an entertaining read. The article itself mostly focuses on the race's history and some of the knock-on effects that it's had on the world at large, as well as the challenges the Japan Racing Association has faced in keeping the race attractive to international racers."! - Enjoy your first TFA day, and those to follow! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:22, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
