Hi there @R2025kt, I've reverted your edit at List of CNN personnel as the person you added does not appear to be notable - no Wikipedia article. Knitsey (talk) 14:12, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. What's happening with Wikipedia at the moment? Just asking. I hope it's nothing bad.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Dave Brandt (sportscaster), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 02:06, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a draft article from my sandbox about WGAL Dave Brandt. I managed to use it in my own words and cited sources along with checking over the wordings I used using Grammarly to be more clear and concise in my own wordings. I hope it works. See what you think.
David Leroy "Dave" Brandt Jr. (February 8, 1919–June 10, 2007) was an American sports broadcaster, host, and reporter. He was notably known as the pioneer of sports on both radio and television, and one of the founders of WGAL, which signed on the air in March 1949, and subsequently moved sports from WGAL radio to WGAL–TV. He inspired future generations of local sports broadcasters who followed in his footsteps.
Early Life
Born in Marietta, PA, and as a native of Marietta, he was the son of the late David E. and Beulah Mae (nee Dyer) Brandt. For most of his life, Brandt considered sports his favorite leisure activity, participating as a spectator and observer. He graduated from Marietta High School. As a player, manager, and coach, he loved baseball (which he would take with his future career at WGAL, which became his forte). After graduation, he entered Elizabethtown College, where in his second year as a sophomore, he expanded his reach with sports by applying for a job on WGAL radio (then WLPA, now WRKY-AM) in Lancaster to be a sports broadcaster. After auditioning successfully, the station manager hired him to be one of its full-time announcing staff and he broadcasted all types of sports, particularly introducing a 15-minute news segment Brandt on Baseball and news for three years until being drafted into the U.S. Army in June 1941 and was overseas until his discharge in 1945.
Career
Brandt returned home to his roots in Lancaster, rejoining the WGAL Radio staff and resuming his duties as a staff announcer, sports director, and, for a short time, as a farm director. In March 1949, television came calling when Brandt took all his duties in sports from WGAL radio to the day WGAL-TV was founded becoming one of its pioneers and founders and became its very first sports director in history where he continued his 15-minute segment Brandt on Baseball after broadcasting the first live shot on WGAL Channel 4 which would later become Channel 8. He considered it his "sports desk". In addition to covering sports frequently, he served as a quizmaster host for the game show Stump Your Neighbor. Throughout his time at WGAL covering sports, Brandt interviewed so many famous sports figures. Most of which were local.
One of his other contributions to sports was when he founded and coached the Red Rose Softball League in 1964. He even managed another team that he named the Channel 8 Cardinals for eight years. In 1975, he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. A year later, in 1976, he was presented with the George W. Kirchner Memorial Award for his commitment to sports at the Lancaster County Sports Hall of Fame.In 1997, he received the J. Freeland Chryst Award.
Brandt retired from WGAL in 1982 after 45 years in sports broadcasting, 33 of them spent at WGAL-TV as sports director.
Personal Life
He married Phyllis Yeagley in 1951 and they settled in Lancaster, having two daughters, Sally and Ann E, but one of their daughters, Sally Marie Brandt, died in 1972 unexpectedly.
Death
Dave Brandt died of natural causes on June 10, 2007, at age 88. His influence and legacy at WGAL in sports are carried on through future generations of WGAL sportscasters. Nine years after his passing, he was posthumously inducted into the WGAL Hall of Fame in December 2016 along with other WGAL pioneers and founders who shaped the foundation and legacy of WGAL.

Information icon Hello. Your recent edit to WGAL appears to have added a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:48, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WGAL. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:01, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at WGAL, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Notice

The article Ron Martin (journalist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only uses primary sources from his employer. Nothing else found about this person in a Google search, unable to show independent sourcing needed to show notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Joe Calhoun moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Joe Calhoun. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Mekomo (talk) 04:24, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Joe Calhoun. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 05:14, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mike Hostetler, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 21:45, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at ABC News (United States), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Why did you remove references from the article? Wikishovel (talk) 16:05, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was because of the number order they were in because those number references were out of order. R2025kt (talk) 16:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of articles have references that might appear to be numbered "out of order", but that's normal and not a reason to remove them. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:18, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Next time you want to fix the order of references, ask at the Wikipedia:Help desk or the Wikipedia:Teahouse for help. Wikishovel (talk) 16:19, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Steve Patterson (journalist) when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:02, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Joe Calhoun (September 1)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Rambley was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Much of the article is unsourced. The entire early life section is unsourced and huge chunks of later paragraphs are unsourced. I am also dubious of the tone used throughout; known for his accurate and insightful forecasts and Joe looked back on his extraordinary career and how his mentorship built a successful weather team of young weather broadcasters are not very neutral to me.

Advice

[edit]

Hello, R2025kt,

I've been looking over your account tonight and thought I'd pass along two pieces of advice. I see you are working on a lot of drafts. That's great but you might not want to submit them multiple time (5 times on one draft) in the same day. Seeing the same draft with little change being made to it can lead an AFC reviewer to reject the draft instead of decline it. Once a draft is rejected, it can not be submitted again, ever. It's good to keep in mind that there are not an unlimited times you can submit a draft for review, they more you submit a draft, the less likely it will be to get approved. That's not written in policy, it's just an observation from editing here for 13 years.

Secondly, I don't recommend to post notices in an AFD discussion identifying you as the article creator and saying that you really don't want the article deleted. Personal opinions like that do not matter to the closers of AFD discussion and other participant who are trained to focus in on sources supporting claims of notability in the article subject, not whether or not an editor would "like" or "dislike" if an article is Kept or Deleted. Personal appeals are not effective in a deletion discussion, the only way you can sway participants is by finding more and better sources that show significant coverage of the subject. Good luck and do not get discouraged by articles being deleted or drafts being declined...it's part of the journey that one travels when you go from new editor to being an experienced editor and most longtime editors can sympathize with the disappointment you might be feeling. It can help to pay a visit to the Teahouse which is where I would go when I was a new editor and frustrated with all of the rules and guidelines. I really appreciated the support that comes from Teahouse hosts and if it wasn't for them, I would have stopped editing many years ago. Liz Read! Talk! 07:41, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I submit a good notability page of WGAL Joe Calhoun from a draft article? Draft: Joe Calhoun. I think it's ready and I think I've added enough. I managed to take out some words that were too wordy and I've added enough references to establish notability. I'm trying to do a draft article right for WGAL Joe Calhoun like I successfully did with Jim Sinkovitz of WGAL. How do I do what I did for WGAL Jim Sinkovitz that I'm missing on WGAL Joe Calhoun draft article?

Notability, citation needed, etc.
