Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Nikita Kucherov, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
I would like to alert you that your edits seem very similar to those of an IP editor who was temporarily blocked (twice) from Wikipedia for being uncommunicative, not following Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and adding unsourced content. This user received more than seven warnings. If you exhibit this same behavior, it is likely that you will be blocked from editing.
As a friendly note, dates on Wikipedia usually follow a specific format defined in WP:MOSDATE. You should not mention the year in every sentence within in a paragraph. It should just be mentioned once unless it's absolutely needed in specific circumstances. This may also save you time. Thanks! -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 03:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did the things you told me on the Stamkos article. I added his middle name adn I described how media outlets have described him as a prolific goal scorer and how his leadership has been praised by lots. I cited everything too. Tell me what you think. Gymrat16 (talk) 00:43, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I like the additions. They are informative, sourced, non-biased and add depth to the article. I will try to fix the reference errors later. Keep up the good work. And thank you for your efforts. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 00:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I edited some things on the Daniel Sedin page like make headers next to the respective time spans and took the advice you gave me make them as short and sweet as possible and make sure they are unbiased and also did one or two more sentences with cited resources so hopefully you like them if you check them out Gymrat16 (talk) 19:25, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
for 2000-2006 I said "early years" then from 2006-2010 I said "Rising team success" and for 2010-2013 I did "Stanley Cup Final appearance, back to back presidents trophies and second lockout then for 2013-2018 I said "Later years and team difficulties" hopefully that sounds good Gymrat16 (talk) 19:27, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bickell
Regarding this edit:[1] Do you have a reliable source that confirms Bickell met Hossa when he worked for the Sens? The source mentions he met Vermette, but there's no mention of Hossa. It's possible given he says he was 16/17 at the time, which would have been around the time Hossa was on the team. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 03:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Responding to your query on my talk page, I deleted the block quotes for the reasons stated on the Ovechkin article's talk page and because they came across as turning that section into a string of praise for him. (Full disclosure: I’m a Caps season-ticket holder, so I’m certainly happy to see Ovechkin get positive coverage, but I try hard to be neutral on Wikipedia.) A string of block quotes like that interrupts the flow of the text. I also note another user made a comment on that talk page citing the Wikipedia Manual of Style regarding block quotes and noting that the majority of them were too short to merit block quote treatment under that guidance. 1995hoo (talk) 01:46, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I get it but if it’s ok I am gonna add back just some not all just some cause it’s ok to have some especially if it is documenting something. Like I’ll re add the Johnson quote, stamkos quote, Jon Cooper quote, Orpik and bishop then done. That shouldn’t b too much or too little Gymrat16 (talk) 01:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Other comments further up your talk page have advised you that it is not acceptable for you to insist on getting your way. See, for example, the comments from User:Wracking from this past May. The appropriate course of action is to discuss the matter on the Ovechkin article's talk page. The appropriate course is not to say, in effect, "I’ve decided these edits are OK and therefore they stay." I’m not going to revert you at this particular time because it’s 10:40 at night and I’m getting ready to sign off, and I’m also wary of running up against WP:3RR, but tomorrow if I have time I may closely check out your block quotes again and I may delete them (one at a time, explaining why in each edit summary) if they don’t satisfy MOS:BLOCKQUOTE, which I encourage you to read. Also, kindly note that quotation marks are not used at the beginning and end of a block quote, as stated in that MOS instruction. 1995hoo (talk) 02:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And what will that do? I agree that there were too many quotes but I was only gonna restore like 2-3. 2-3 isn’t bad. We want to show proof of how well documented his shot is right? That’s all I’m trying to do Gymrat16 (talk) 18:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With all due respect, what matters is whether there is a consensus as to whether, and to what extent, the material is appropriate. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "And what will that do?," but I guess we'll find out. 1995hoo (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok well please write back what they say. I understand and agree that we don’t wanna do too much but those quotes by Brent Johnson and Brooks Orpik were pretty reasonable and I think should be displayed. The other previous ones aren’t relevant I agree but yah I hope what I’m saying makes more sense now Gymrat16 (talk) 19:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand why some might think this is sockpuppetry cause I have been very active but this is my ONLY account. I do not have multiple and if we can work something out that would be great because I want to be a good figure in the community not a bad one and I am sick of being portrayed as a bad one. Maybe I have been a little too active but it is because I like to share my knowledge with the rest of the world and if I get unblocked sooner rather than later, I promise I will try hard to practice better self control and maybe not type as much Gymrat16 (talk) 01:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did NOT do anything wrong. Over the last 4 ish months I have had my own wikipedia account and I mostly decided to use it to show my knowledge about certain things and help out and contribute to the community. However, the last couple days, I have been harassed by multiple accounts and been accused by them of "sockpuppeting" even though I don't think I am. I have followed most if not ALL the rules of editing articles on wikipedia such as citing, no spelling errors, trying to keep headers not too long or too short and citing nearly every sentence I write. I have really tried hard to follow and comply with policies and I have been confronted repeatedly of not doing so recently. I am a big NHL fan and like other people, I have made some sentences or headers for certain athletes in the NHL like Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman, Sedin twins, Anze Kopitar, Bryan Bickell, Corey Crawford, Jonathan Toews, Andrew Shaw, David Pastrnak, Jamie Benn, Nathan MacKinnon, etc and when doing so whether it is a header title or a sentence added, I have tried very hard to make sure I am following the rules and policies and I felt like I was doing a decent job. Another thing I have been confronted about for certain guys is like using terms like "stardom" with certain people even though that term has been used by multiple other people on multiple other articles and I ask Why is that such a big deal if I do it? Why do you care if I use but not anyone else? Why am I the only one getting chewed out on something that wasn't even started by me? Most of these things were written by OTHER people not me, I am simply just contributing alongside them and why is it whenever I try and compromise with people, it always ends their way and never with mine in the littlest way? Again, I joined wikipedia to show my knowledge at things and to contribute within the community and wikipedia should be inclusive to all and people should be able to write whatever they want as long as it is true and they are following the rules and guidelines of wikipedia.

Please respond ASAP and consider unblocking me if possible and give me a chance to be better at maintaining self control because the only reason why this ever happened is because I think I got too excited ans started doing too much at one time and I promise if I get unblocked I will try harder to take it easier, thanks.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
I am not doing this from multiple accounts. This is my only account I have on wikipedia. I am not a sockpuppett. Some of the things I have seen on wikipedia in recent weeks have had a lot of mistakes and typos in there so I was simply just fixing them and also I add small sentences now and then WITH citiations. This is my only account on wikipedia I do not have multiple accounts and I am not trying to "abuse" nothing. All I have done recently is edit a couple mistakes and correct them and add small details that stand out to me and probably would to others if they were to see them Gymrat16 (talk) 01:15, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
The Arbitration Committee has decided to unblock you in accordance with your appeal. Based on the evidence you have supplied by email, we are satisfied that you are not the same person as Moka Mo. As discussed by email, please view this as an opportunity to make a fresh start. The editors involved in you being blocked were acting in good faith and do not have access to the information you provided us. Any editing that suggests that you are pursuing a vendetta against those editors is likely to result in you being blocked again but I will let he blocking admin know that you're not who they thought you were. If you need help with anything, you're welcome to ask me. Otherwise, happy editing. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?19:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thank you very much for hearing me out and hopefully yes everyone can be more peaceful now. All I want is for users to talk to me about any edits I might make rather than revert for no reason since I believe everyone deserves a second chance and that healthy communication is important. Talking to them about this and saying that would absolutely help the chances at that being reduced and increase the chances of me getting taken seriously since I am usually a pretty easy person to get along with I think. 164.76.13.235 (talk) 19:29, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A kitten for you!
Welcome back. Good luck on your Wikipedia journey ahead. Thanks.
In this edit, you wrote On 22 December 2010, Datsyuk suffered a broken wrist in a game against the Vancouver Canucks, causing him to miss the next 19 games cited to this source, which says nothing about missing the next 19 games, and couldn't possibly have since it was published the day he got injured. The bolded text is unsourced original research which is a violation of WP:No original research policy. When you add material into an article, it's important to ensure that the source you provide supports everything in the passage the citation is attached to. I've seen editors get blocked for this type of unsourced editing and original research if it becomes an intractable habit, and it would be unfortunate for that to happen to you. Left guide (talk) 23:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks for letting me know. If you want, I can research some articles that give this story out and cite them so that way it can stay and policies can be maintained. Obviously citations are very important so people will be incline to believe what they are reading so I will make the neccesary adjustments to that sentence Gymrat16 (talk) 00:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that would be good, but more importantly this should be a lesson to have all the pertinent citations installed in the initial edits, or to simply omit the unsourced material. A reminder every now and then isn't the end of the world since people make mistakes, but in the long term, users are expected to regulate their own edits to ensure policy-compliance. Hopefully over time you will improve in that manner. Another suggestion would be to use your sandbox to draft and save this type of material until it's properly sourced, since sourcing policies generally don't apply there. Left guide (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
absolutely we are all human and when an error is made there are multiple options available to fix them thanks again for alerting me on this error Gymrat16 (talk) 01:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that. It said the city and I tried to change it to the name of the arena. But it isn't called PNC Center anymore so I tried to use the RBC Center thing that shows the name at the time but when you click it it shows the current name Gymrat16 (talk) 14:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you see the Bobrovsky save?
Just wondering. Quite an incredible save to preserve the eventual victory for the Panthers against the Lightning. I saw it plastered all over social media, so I figured it was a pretty big deal. Some of the sources have dubbed it the "save of the playoffs" or the "save of the year". It also made its way into mainstream non-sports journalism, which seems unusual for an individual save. Would you be interested in adding sourced material about it to the Sergei Bobrovsky article? I thought you might be, especially since you've recently edited that article. If not, I'll try to get around to it at some point. It's certainly worthy of inclusion either way. Left guide (talk) 20:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yessssirr I did incredible save. I certianly wouldn't rule it out I mean I would have to look deeper into it but could be worth some time 100% Gymrat16 (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2 Edits from Winnipeg Jets and Retirement section in Rick Bowness article
Hey Gymrat16, I got a couple of edits that you could take advantage of from the Rick Bowness article, especially in the Winnipeg Jets and retirement section. They are......
'"He is a finalist for the season's Jack Adams Award for "the NHL coach adjudged to have contributed the most to his team's success."' Instead of "he is," should be, he was a finalist.
"He finished his coaching career with 2,726 games, the most in NHL history, and is also one of three head coaches (along with Scotty Bowman and Pat Quinn) to work in NHL in five different decades." There should be a "the" after the Pat Quinn bracketed part which should say, to work in the NHL in five different decades.
i don't remember doing such thing on the bowness article but i appreciate you bringing this to my attention so i can be mindful in the future Gymrat16 (talk) 15:46, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If I am wrong tell me, but per this and previous edits, I get the impression that you think that the author of these warnings is a human, but if you look at the signature it says, "DPL bot", which as the name might suggest it is a robot, that is, not a human. The Blue Rider03:43, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
um ok. I guess i mean i personally thought the seeding was reasonable thing to say since their are 8 seeds that make the playoffs (counting the 2 wild card ones) but i guess not Gymrat16 (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Corey Crawford
Hey Gymrat, hope all is going well. The only thing I could not verify in the Crawford article is the following: "he recorded his first career playoff assist on April 19, in game four in a Blackhawks 7–2 win on a goal scored by Brian Campbell becoming the first Blackhawks goaltender since Dominik Hasek in 1991 to record an assist in a playoff game." The statement includes a gamebox that Crawford registered a secondary assist, but it does not mention anything about Hasek sadly. Can you find a reference for this? Hence why I added the failed verification tag, which means the text could not be directly verified by the provided source. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 01:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
