Ways to improve Jennifer Hoover
[edit]Hi, I'm Newrunner769. Rileywc, thanks for creating Jennifer Hoover!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Put some info in the article, not just the table.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Newrunner769 (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 9
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jennifer Hoover, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wake Forest. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Joe Tartamella
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article Joe Tartamella has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Happy Squirrel (talk) 15:41, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Birthdate
[edit]Thanks for creating Katie Abrahamson-Henderson I see you included birth date of December 20. I think her birth date is December 23. Please let me know if you have conflicting information.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:22, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Moore birthdate
[edit]Thanks for creating Wes_Moore_(basketball). When you created it, you included a birth date of February 15, 1964. I think he was born April 22, 1957. I've changed it; please contact me if you think my source is incorrect.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:05, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Please be careful with birthdates
[edit]I'm happy that you are creating so many articles that are needed. However, I've noticed that you are not getting the birthdates correct in many cases. See the two sections above and I've corrected others such as Teri Moren. I'm curious how you find birthdates. You might try this site, which has a pretty good track record.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:29, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Rileywc. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, David Six (basketball), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:42, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
