25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm C.Fred. <del>Your recent edit(s) to the page :2022 NRL season ↗ appear to have added incorrect information,</del> so they have been reverted ↗ for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source ↗ or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. ''Please explain this edit ↗, particularly where you change the location of the fixtures. It looks like you bolded the away games instead of the home games.'' —'''C.Fred''' (talk ↗) 03:37, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

:I think I may have misread the fixtures table. Consider this message a formal cancellation of the warning above, especially now that the IP is blocked for edit warring to insert their self-admitted original research. —'''C.Fred''' (talk ↗) 04:46, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I will only say this once please stop undoing my edit on the NRL page please. You can contribute elsewhere. Thank you BGetmefood (talk) 16:02, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
