Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Thom McDaniels, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike was added. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there. I've noticed that your recent non-admin AfD closures have needed to be manually reverted and closed again because they were not formatted properly. In the future, please check your formatting before you submit an edit, or consider using the XFD closer tool to ensure the process is automatically completed correctly. Thanks!

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits and using inappropriate edit summaries. Additionally, do not issue 'warnings' to other users based on your own misconceptions. For instance, contrary to your repeated assertions, 'per cent' is a standard two-word spelling and 'years his junior' is perfectly acceptable English.

​The spelling "per cent" is the traditional and preferred form in many formal style guides and dictionaries. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) lists "per cent" as the primary spelling, noting it is an abbreviation of the Latin per centum. Similarly, The Guardian/Observer style guide explicitly states to use "per cent" as two words and the Cambridge Dictionary recognises it as the standard spelling. ​ ​The phrase "years his junior" is a standard idiomatic construction in English where "junior" acts as a noun or post-positive adjective to indicate a relative age gap. Both Merriam-Webster and Oxford define "junior" as "someone who is younger than another person." This construction is used frequently in formal journalism and literature (e.g., "she was ten years his junior"). Grammatically, "years" functions as an adverbial objective to quantify the extent of the juniority, identical in structure to saying something is "five miles long" or "two inches tall. ~2026-23744-89 (talk) 14:07, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

That TA got blocked as you were making the report. TheClocksAlwaysTurn (The Clockworks) (contribs) 20:16, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Yea I ended up seeing that not long after I made it. Thought admins were just working that fast lol. Thanks for letting me know JLN2026 (talk) 20:17, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Please remember to substitute your user warning templates in the future by adding {{subst:<templatename>|<articletitle>}} instead of just the template itself. - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:50, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I would hold off adding poll winners to high school articles like we do for state championships without a consensus since poll winners in the playoff era do not count as state championships since the poll is done at the end of the regular season. I've added a section at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools#Poll winners to discuss it. --JonRidinger (talk) 23:29, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

No problem. Yeah thats something that should definitely be added. There are plenty of school thats I know who wants those pre-1972 polls up. JLN2026 (talk) 23:34, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Pre-1972 for football isn't an issue for me as those are typically counted by schools since there was no playoff. That was always a criticism of Massillon since, until 2023, all of their state championships were "mythical". It's also why I tend to avoid labeling sections as "OHSAA state championships" since many state titles for schools predate OHSAA or the playoff system. It's more an issue for football from 1972 on and with the sports where playoffs have existed for decades. Ravenna, for instance, I was just in their gym about two weeks ago and they do not recognize the girls basketball poll championship with their other team state championships (wrestling and golf) and individual state champions. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:20, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
