Important Notice: Your 2013 Arbitration Committee Election vote

Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis

Number of Democratic and Republican Governors

Why did you revert my January 11 change of the number of Republican and Democratic governors from 30 and 20 to 29 and 21, respectively? Terry McAuliffe (D-VA) was sworn in on that day, replacing Bob McDonnell (R-VA), decreasing the number of Republicans from 30 to 29 and increasing the number of Democrats from 20 to 21. The reversions now make the pages reflect the pre-11th party division instead of the post-11th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingOfTheLiberal (talk • contribs) 00:55, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

My apologies, I didn't realize McAuliffe had been sworn in than. I had looked to verify your number on the map of governors and that was not what it showed so I removed it. Clearly the map hadn't been edited yet so my bad. Toa Nidhiki05 01:52, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Touching base about Health issues in American football article

Hey Toa, I just wanted to touch base with you briefly about the Health issues article. I've been in touch with the NFLPA, and let them know that the article has been nominated for good article status. They indicated that they'd like to take another look at the content of the article and see if they have any more suggestions, but because the article is going to be in flux while editors look at it, they'd like to wait until the nomination/peer review process is complete. So, I'll be monitoring the feedback that editors are posting on the Talk page, but I'm unlikely to reply unless you specifically ask something of me, since the NFLPA wants to pause here for the moment. But do let me know if you need a hand!

Also, in case you're interested, I've just posted a note over at Concussions in American football suggesting some edits there.

Cheers! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 18:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey again Toa, hope you're well. I wanted to let you know that I have a handful of additional comments from the NFLPA about the Health issues in American football article that I think will improve it. I'm still working on putting things together, but I should have some suggestions up on the Talk page later this week.
In the meantime, I'm wondering if you might be able to help out with the edits to the Concussions in American football article that I mentioned above? I've had a bit of trouble tracking down an editor to help in the aftermath of the Super Bowl—everyone seems so busy! If you have a second to take a look, though, I'd sure appreciate it! Cheers, ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 21:14, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Sure! I'll give the concussions article a check in a bit. I have the Health issues article on watchlist so I'll check for those when you add them. :) Toa Nidhiki05 21:21, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Great, thanks! As you'll see on Concussions, ZappaOMati helped with two of the four things, but I don't think he saw the other two. Cheers! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 22:32, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Hey again, thanks for taking a look—I see your comment on the Concussions Talk page, but it doesn't look like either of the updates were made. Can you take a look again? Thanks! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 20:25, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it appears that my edit didn't save for some reason. Should be fixed now. Toa Nidhiki05 20:32, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
No problem, thanks so much! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 22:04, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Better source request for some of your uploads

Thanks for your uploads to Misplaced Pages. There is an issue with some of them, specifically:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the images because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves. Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:15, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

American Football

In response to your comment, any "edit war" was started by your decision to "undo" what were in fact very minor (and needed) edits to the page without actually reviewing what was edited. As just one example, the article referred to the Point After Touchdown as the "try," but did not also refer to it as the "conversion," which is a commonly used term and also has a link to a separate page within Misplaced Pages. There is no reason for you to object to the addition of a few words that would assist in introducing a reader to the overall understanding of the game.

I have reviewed your contribution history and note that you rarely actually perform any "editing"; most of your "contributions" are either adding huge chunks of text to a page or "undoing" other peoples' work. This is a sign of arrogance and the erroneous belief that you "own" or are "in charge" of a particular page. However, you are not. Pressing the "undo" button is the lazy man's (or woman's) method of editing and is explicitly disapproved by Misplaced Pages's Reversion Policy:

Don't revert an edit because it is unnecessary — because it does not improve the article. For a reversion to be appropriate, the reverted edit must actually make the article worse. Misplaced Pages does not have a bias toward the status quo (except in cases of fully developed disputes, while they are being resolved). In fact, Misplaced Pages has a bias toward change, as a means of maximizing quality by maximizing participation.
Even if you find an article was slightly better before an edit, in an area where opinions could differ, you should not revert that edit, especially if you are the author of the prior text. The reason for this is that authors and others with past involvement in an article have a natural prejudice in favor of the status quo, so your finding that the article was better before might just be a result of that. Also, Misplaced Pages likes to encourage editing.
Don't revert a large edit because much of it is bad and you don't have time to rewrite the whole thing. Instead, find even a little bit of the edit that is not objectionable and undo the rest. (To do this, you can use the "undo" button, then type back in what you want to keep). As long as you keep one significant element of the edit, it is not a reversion. If a supporter of the reverted edit wants to save more of it, she can re-edit in smaller pieces and the article can converge on a consensus version that way.

You are clearly violating multiple points in this policy and you have not engaged in any effort whatsoever to specify what you believe is the problem or to FIX anything. You have provided no constructive comments or given any examples. You should therefore take your own suggestion and open a dialogue on the talk page, as I have no idea what you are concerned about, except your own ego and your apparent belief that you are able to dictate content.

--BenEsq (talk) 02:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Get off your high horse. You haven't even bothered to look at my editing at all, because if you did you'd frigging see I develop articles that are of poor quality in the sandbox, and then bring them through a peer review process. You know what peer review involves? Having others check your work to make sure it isn't crap. Since you seem to just know 'so much' after popping up out of nowhere, I'm rather surprised you've never heard of the bold, revert, discuss cycle - instead of reverting back and demanding material be done your way, you should go to the talk page and discuss it... that is what the talk page is for, discussion.
As for your edits, I am reverting your edits because they are not improving the article. Making two-sentence paragraphs and adding unsourced information is not useful and ruins both the writing flow and style of the article. Similarly, your edits to the special teams section were reverted because they were not good writing and, more importantly, they were not cited. This may be a shock to you, but in a high-quality article information should be directly supported by an internal citation. I did in fact keep a portion of your edit, which was moving around the line bit, because that was genuinely useful... but you clearly didn't notice or even bother to look at what I did, you just saw that I changed your work and pressed 'undo'. Maybe if you were willing to talk instead of revert, your edits wouldn't be being reverted. Toa Nidhiki05 03:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

DYK for List of National Football League season receiving touchdown leaders

Updated DYK queryOn 25 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of National Football League season receiving touchdown leaders, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Michael Jackson once led the National Football League (NFL) in receiving touchdowns? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Misplaced Pages's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Fantasy football

You deleted my fantasy football addition to the NFL page on the basis of relevance. Why don't you think it is relevant? Isn't it necessarily relevant given that the NFL is an association that offers fantasy football, among other offerings? Fantasy football's significance vs the sport itself can be debated, but not the relevance. In terms of significance, I think it's just additional information that is worthwhile given the online format of this encyclopedia.

What's your reason for believing fantasy football is not relevant to the NFL.Gchuva (talk) 15:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

recent revert

Maybe you are not aware, but user Tarage moved my comment around and placed it out of the context. it was a reply to the later comment. Not sure why you reverted my correction... 202.8.75.186 (talk) 03:40, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Move it back if you want but the talk page is not a place for soapboxing or fringe theories, hence why I have collapsed them. Toa Nidhiki05 03:42, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sports Illustrated Appalachian State-Michigan.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Sports Illustrated Appalachian State-Michigan.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Misplaced Pages (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
