Disambiguation link notification for March 28



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Thom McDaniels ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike ↗ was added. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Closing AfDs



Hi there. I've noticed that your recent non-admin AfD closures have needed to be manually reverted and closed again because they were not formatted properly. In the future, please check your formatting before you submit an edit, or consider using the XFD closer tool ↗ to ensure the process is automatically completed correctly.

Unconstructive edits



Please refrain from making unconstructive edits and using inappropriate edit summaries. Additionally, do not issue 'warnings' to other users based on your own misconceptions. For instance, contrary to your repeated assertions, 'per cent' is a standard two-word spelling and 'years his junior' is perfectly acceptable English.

​The spelling "per cent" is the traditional and preferred form in many formal style guides and dictionaries. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) lists "per cent" as the primary spelling, noting it is an abbreviation of the Latin per centum. Similarly, The Guardian/Observer style guide explicitly states to use "per cent" as two words and the Cambridge Dictionary recognises it as the standard spelling.
​
​The phrase "years his junior" is a standard idiomatic construction in English where "junior" acts as a noun or post-positive adjective to indicate a relative age gap. Both Merriam-Webster and Oxford define "junior" as "someone who is younger than another person." This construction is used frequently in formal journalism and literature (e.g., "she was ten years his junior"). Grammatically, "years" functions as an adverbial objective to quantify the extent of the juniority, identical in structure to saying something is "five miles long" or "two inches tall. &#126;2026-23744-89 ↗ (talk) 14:07, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Substituting templates


Please remember to substitute your user warning templates in the future by adding <nowiki>{{subst:<templatename>|<articletitle>}}</nowiki> instead of just the template itself. - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:50, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Poll winners



Hi there. I would hold off adding poll winners to high school articles like we do for state championships without a consensus since poll winners in the playoff era do not count as state championships since the poll is done at the end of the regular season. I've added a section at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools#Poll winners ↗ to discuss it. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:29, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

:No problem. Yeah thats something that should definitely be added. There are plenty of school thats I know who wants those pre-1972 polls up. JLN2026 (talk) 23:34, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

::Pre-1972 for football isn't an issue for me as those are typically counted by schools since there was no playoff. That was always a criticism of Massillon since, until 2023, all of their state championships were "mythical". It's also why I tend to avoid labeling sections as "OHSAA state championships" since many state titles for schools predate OHSAA or the playoff system. It's more an issue for football from 1972 on and with the sports where playoffs have existed for decades. Ravenna, for instance, I was just in their gym about two weeks ago and they do not recognize the girls basketball poll championship with their other team state championships (wrestling and golf) and individual state champions. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:20, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

:I reverted those edits back to the way it was, but did remove certain parts of the article that could appear AI generated.
:Nothing in that article was created with the use of AI. Please prove or be 100 percent certain before reverting factual and truthful edits, that were supported with sources.
:You removed several pieces of the article, which included recent manager changes and season results. I reverted those back to what they were before. JLN2026 (talk) 20:14, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Hubbard High School



Hi there, regarding the establishment year for Hubbard High School (Ohio) ↗, you changed the category and "established" date but didn't add any sources to back that up. Do you have sources that the school ''organization'' was established in 1920 (like as the result of a merger or offering 4 years instead of 3) and that the 1870 establishment was a different organization (like a private school or "academy")? My understanding from all the sources currently there (the 1882 ''History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties'' and others) and additional ones online is that 1920 is when they simply opened a new high school ''building'', but it was to house an existing school ''organization'', similar to how they moved to a new building in 1954 and again in 2010. If you have sources that specify what happened in 1920 was a new high school ''organization'' separate from what was established in 1870, please add them. Right now the text says one thing with sources and the infobox say another.

I ask because there are newspaper articles that reference Hubbard High School in Trumbull County prior to 1920. For instance, a 1910 article mentions 120 people gathering for a reunion of Hubbard High School, and a January 1920 mentions Sharon High School playing Hubbard in football during the 1919 season. Other articles from the 1880s and 1890s mention the Hubbard schools or "Hubbard public schools", including an 1897 article that mentions the graduation exercises for HHS. Nothing seems to indicate it's different from the current HHS. An 1896 map of Hubbard ↗ (page 3) identifies the "Hubbard Public School" with a separate building labeled as "Primary School", which suggests it was for grades besides the primary grades, including a high school.

A "union school" in the 1870s was simply a centralized public school divided into grades (rather the one-room school houses where students of all ages were taught together), so was quite often where public high schools were officially started. Niles, Kent, Ravenna, Cuyahoga Falls, and many other nearby towns also had union schools during the 1860s and 1870s and all housed their respective high schools until separate high school buildings were built. It was the late 19th century version of the modern K-12 building. --JonRidinger (talk) 21:04, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

:Not trying to sound like a jerk here, but do you typically follow other editors edits very closely? Seems like I’ve ran into you a few times already, correcting or changing edits that I literally just edited.
:Genuine question. I know Wikipedia is meant to be a collaborative space, but I just find it weird how quickly you jump to edit a page not long after I make a specific edit. JLN2026 (talk) 13:18, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

::You and I have many of the same pages on our watchlist (my account is set to automatically add pages to my watchlist when I edit them), since we both share an interest in high school articles and apparently live in the same region. As such, when you edit them, I see them on my watchlist. Every article you and I have interacted on was one I already had on my watchlist. I also check Wikipedia fairly regularly during the week when I am using a desktop, so obviously any recent edits are going to be right on or near the top. Edits I make are based on the Manual of Style, the various project guidelines, existing consensus, precedent, and additional sources I may have access to. Please do not take them personally. And yes, I also saw your edits on Lordstown High School (since I edited it myself back in December) but obviously didn't feel the need to make any changes.
::Note on Hubbard that I didn't just revert your recent edits there; instead I came here to ask if you had additional sources to clarify your edit summary that "''the 1870 Union School is not the same as today's Hubbard High School''" since the sources in the article give no indication that it's a different school. I spent time finding the history sources and expanding and rewriting that section ↗ to include more than just the most recent history, so yes, I'm curious if you have access to further sources. Your edit summary suggests you have additional information that I don't have access to, so I asked, and instead I get an accusation of stalking. You're welcome to visit my contributions page to see other articles I've been editing lately. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:22, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
