Bluing red links

Please stop creating redirects like Siege of Damietta (1799) ↗. It is not ambiguous and should not point to a disambiguation page. Or like Hugh II Embriaco ↗. That link should remain red so long as Hugh is notable enough for an article. Srnec (talk) 00:42, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Srnec}} Nothing bad happened! You can still remove the redirect by writing about those topics, start a stub then others can expand! Axios512 (talk) 11:23, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

::But now I do not even know there is no article unless I actually click the link! There is nothing wrong with red links. Srnec (talk) 20:14, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
::I have nominated the Mazyadid redirects for deletion. Srnec (talk) 14:10, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

:: Yes, something bad happened. Before, there was a red link so a reader who was interested in the topic knew that we needed an article on it. Now there is a blue link that deceptively points to a disambiguation page. On top of that, there are now two links on the disambiguation page that point back to the ''same'' disambiguation page, taking readers in an infinite loop. Please delete both the 1732 and 1799 redirects! --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:20, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Kvinnen. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :2025 Homs bombing ↗ without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page ↗. Thanks. ''signed'', Kvinnen (talk ↗) 21:04, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Alec Penstone ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you. '''Zackmann''' (Talk to me ↗/What I been doing ↗) 00:20, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi! I'm really appreciating your contributions to the newly made Vulkangruppe article, but please make sure to include edit summaries ↗ with your edits. It only needs to be a few words explaining what you just did. It helps other editors know what you're doing and why, and can help avoid any misunderstandings. Kvinnen mentioned this a week or so ago, and other editors will continue to bring it up. Beyond this, thank you again for your very helpful contributions!!

Introduction to contentious topics

{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to ''' living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia articles''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia ↗;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines ↗;

follow editorial and behavioural best practices;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system ↗.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. }} Generalrelative (talk) 16:37, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you.  Giant Snowman 21:32, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Messi

Hey there! Since we have a disagreement at Career of Lionel Messi ↗, I wanted to reach out and start a conversation. There are a few reasons I made the changes I did:

# Secondary sources are almost always preferable to primary sources. Therefore, while official FIFA updates are not poor sources, it's preferable to use independent news publications for facts. If you like, we can include both types of sources.
# The record "oldest South American player to score in the knockout phase" is not notable enough for inclusion. It's a very niche statistic that is only interesting to die-hard fans of football and/or Messi. That's what I meant by "excessive detail". We have to write Wikipedia articles for a general readership, not just fans. If you disagree, and feel strongly that this record is notable enough for the average reader, let's discuss this particular point on the talk page with other editors.
# I feel we should mention that Messi extended the records for most World Cup goals and match wins. Please let me know if there's a reason those should not be included.
# "Round of 32" doesn't communicate that this round is a knockout round. People who are unfamiliar with the World Cup and/or tournaments in general will glean less information from "Round of 32". We can try to incorporate both terms if you like.

I propose this new version:

In the first knockout round against Cape Verde ↗, Messi scored in his eighth consecutive match in a 3–2 victory, bringing his career tallies of both World Cup match wins and World Cup goals to 20. He was named Man of the Match.

Please remember to assume good faith ↗ towards your fellow editors. I know your intention is to make Wikipedia better, and that is my intention as well. The edit summary for your revert was disrespectful, and I hope you will approach a revert discussion differently next time. We are on the same team. 😊

Please let me know your thoughts, and I hope you have a great day. OrdinaryOtter (talk) 03:13, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

:{{ping|OrdinaryOtter}} Thanks for reaching out and for taking the time to explain your reasoning. I appreciate it.

:I don't see primary and secondary sources as being in conflict here—they both verify the same factual statements, and official FIFA statistics are valuable for records and match data.

:Regarding the statistics, I generally prefer to include explicitly sourced milestones where they're supported by FIFA. Beyond their encyclopedic value, Wikipedia is widely used by search engines as a reference, so omitting well-sourced factual records isn't always beneficial. That said, I don't have a strong objection to your wording overall, and I thought your proposed version read well.

:The only part I wasn't comfortable with was adding "now". That wording is problematic because Wikipedia generally avoids time-dependent language unless it's necessary, as it quickly becomes outdated. There is also a well-established style that's used consistently across thousands of athlete articles, especially high-traffic pages like Messi's, where achievements are presented without temporal qualifiers such as "now."

:I also think the "Man of the Match" sentence reads more naturally when it's tied to his statistical achievements rather than standing alone.

:Perhaps we could merge the two versions like this:

:In the Round of 32 against Cape Verde, Messi scored in his eighth consecutive match in a 3–2 after-extra-time victory, bringing his World Cup tallies to 20 goals and 20 wins in 30 appearances. He also became the oldest South American player, at 39 years and 9 days, to score in the knockout phase, surpassing Obdulio Varela's 1954 record, and was named Man of the Match.

:Thanks again for opening the discussion, and I hope we can find wording that we're both happy with. Axios512 (talk) 09:36, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply, and for offering another version. I feel that the adjective "after-extra-time" is a bit long and clunky. It also feels unnecessary to mention if a victory was achieved after regulation time unless there is a specific reason to do so. I think we should add the word "career" for clarity regarding his all-time records. The "oldest player" record feels like an outlier to me—I did a thorough copyedit of the entire page recently and this record feels much more niche than the other records mentioned. That said, I'm okay with letting it remain if you feel it's important. Can we shorten it slightly by omitting Obdulio Varela? I would propose the following version:
::In the Round of 32 against Cape Verde, Messi scored in his eighth consecutive match in a 3–2 victory, bringing his career World Cup tallies to 20 goals and 20 wins in 30 appearances. He became the oldest South American player, at 39 years and 9 days, to score in the knockout phase, and was also named Man of the Match.
::Thanks for collaborating. 😊 OrdinaryOtter (talk) 10:25, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

:::{{ping|OrdinaryOtter}} On the "after extra time" point, that detail is typically included in match reporting because it's part of the official result context—especially in knockout-stage matches where regulation time ending level is a meaningful distinction. It helps standardize the phrasing across similar athlete and tournament articles.

:::On the "oldest South American player" record, I would prefer to keep the reference to Obdulio Varela. In record-based statements like this, naming the previous record holder is generally considered important for context, since it clarifies what exactly was surpassed and when the benchmark was originally set. It's the same reason we usually say someone "surpassed X's record from [year]" rather than just stating the new record in isolation.

:::So overall, I'd suggest sticking with the current fuller version rather than shortening it further, since it aligns better with how similar records are typically documented across football articles. Appreciate the collaboration as well. Axios512 (talk) 10:51, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the feedback. I will edit the page with the version you suggested, adding the word "career".
::::I'm curious to hear what other editors think about a few of the points we disagree on, so I'll make a post on the talk page. OrdinaryOtter (talk) 11:13, 4 July 2026 (UTC)
::::Hey, just letting you know that I did a copyedit of your most recent additions to Career of Lionel Messi ↗. Please take a look and let me know if you have any feedback. OrdinaryOtter (talk) 21:01, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
