2019 English Football League play-offs moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2019 English Football League play-offs, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, you can move the article back to the mainspace. SSSB (talk) 18:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks, at last someone has noticed the data sort values I started implementing. It only took 7 GP. I was starting to get worried that id have to do this for the rest of time. thanks again for the attention to detail. SSSB (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Just one thing. When you insert data-sort-values make sure that you use " rather than “ otherwise it sorts by quotation marks as I use have already used the former. SSSB (talk) 12:05, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Its important to make sure that you use consistent quotation marks, otherwise it will sort by the type of quotation mark. Therefore if someone has already started putting in data-sort-values make sure you use the same quotation marks. Thanks, SSSB (talk) 08:36, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

2019 British Grand Prix

Please use the preview function and do the whole article in one save instead of 100 little saves adding only a few words at a time. Wikipedia is not a news source. Do it once and do it right. There is no rush. It is is not a race against other edittors. --Falcadore (talk) 15:36, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

I was dealing with vandalism and when I was doing large edits they didn’t count as “Error. Edit not saved” happened over and over again. JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:51, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

So if I do large edits they don’t save due to other edits (mostly vandalism) making them not save JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:51, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

2019 Belgium Grand Prix, Verstappen retirement

Hi. Having watched some footage on Sky Sports F1, I changed Max's reason for retiring as "Collision damage/suspension". But someone has gone and reverted it to "Accident", which it certainly does not look like that to me since he had no control over the crash. I don't want to start an edit war, but what is you're opinion on the matter? 80.192.54.128 (talk) 15:30, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

BOLD CHANGE

I will not edit war. JamesVilla44 (talk) 12:53, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Sorry - that's confusion due to WP:EDIT CONFLICTs. I was trying to revert the other editor who is edit warring, not you - but you kept making tiny edits and conflicting with me. Could you please make your small edits again now that I've done that. Unfortunately you made so many little edits in a row that I can't redo them all individually. I think, in the end, the effect of the edits of yours I reverted was only a change to a link to Iraq war, and I wasn't sure why you needed to WP:PIPE that, so I left it for you. Thanks, and sorry for the confusion/inconvenience. -- Begoon 13:01, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Iraq War has been removed? JamesVilla44 (talk) 13:06, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it's not in the lead any more - I didn't notice that. It's part of the large addition one editor was repeatedly adding despite the disagreement of four other editors who asked for it to be discussed on the talk page as they didn't consider the edit as a whole WP:NPOV - so your minor stylistic change got swept away with it. -- Begoon 14:31, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I was editing someone's edit war then JamesVilla44 (talk) 14:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- yes, basically, in the middle of it... Your stylistic change was to a part of the disputed, repeatedly reverted content at the same time as I was trying to remove it again, as not having consensus... -- Begoon 14:50, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Minor changes?

Hi James,

I see that you do not seem to use the Help:Minor_edit tick box much for your edits: I use it a lot. The reason I mention it is that I expect people are usually content with your changes and your use of the tick box would help me and others. As the Help page says, 'Logged-in users can set their preferences not to display minor edits.' I do this as it saves me time by reducing the number of changes I have to review on pages I watch. However, you know better than me the extent to which your edits give rise to opposition, so up to you, of course. Jontel (talk) 09:39, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:JamesVilla44/sandbox/2

Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at User:JamesVilla44/sandbox/2. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Bait30  ^{Talk 2 me pls?} 02:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Combining small edits into one single edit

Hi James, Thanks for your edits, particularly to Tamworth railway station. However, the number of edits that you make in a row could feasibly be combined into one single edit - when using source mode, you can click on "Preview changes", which will not publish the changes, but shows you what they look like if they were to be. If in visual mode, you can switch to source mode at the top right of the editing box and click that as well. Doing so will be of benefit to users who watch these pages, and their watchlist will be a bit less clogged with your changes, when they are all contained in one single edit. Hope that makes sense, and thanks once again. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 06:44, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Once again, please note my concern - ten edits to Stoke-on-Trent railway station is blindly excessive and clogs up other editor's watchlists. Please try to combine edits into one large one as much as possible. I know you're doing good work, but please bear this in mind. As I suggested above, use the "Preview changes" button in source mode to your advantage. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 15:43, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

understood JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

@Mattdaviesfsic Note that three of those edits were labelled as minor edits and most of the work was done in one big edit. (+1,325) JamesVilla44 (talk) 15:59, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

I'm very aware of that, but my point still stands. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Hijacking this topic to once again ask you to be mindful of this, as you are doing it again right now at 2023 GB3 Championship. Adding the results of 25 drivers in 25 edits helps no one, just take the time to do it in one big edit. Thank you, H4MCHTR (talk) 14:06, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Marston Vale Line

You have been adding text to the station articles like The typical off-peak service is one train per hour in each direction between Bletchley and Bedford which runs on weekdays and Saturdays but at the same time you have updated the service box like

Preceding station	National Rail			Following station
Bow Brickhill		London Northwestern Railway Marston Vale Line Monday-Friday only		Aspley Guise

So which is it? Mon-Fri or Mon-Sat? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 00:34, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

The typical service is Monday to Saturday hourly.

But the service being operated for the rest of the year is a weekday only limited service. JamesVilla44 (talk) 12:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

I suggest that one or other needs to be changed and add a footnote if appropriate. As it stands, it looks like a silly oversight. IMO, per WP:NOTGUIDE, the Monday-Friday only needs to say Monday-Saturday only, since that is the contractual service. Is there a BRP on Saturdays? --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:58, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
