Howdy. If there's a grudge match between you & @Mandruss:, at Trump's talkpage? Than so bet it. But, will you please stop repeatly removing the 'bullet point' from your posts? Read up on MOS:LISTGAP. -- GoodDay (talk) 14:00, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

@GoodDay: Hello. This a collaborative editing project, I do not hold grudges. My edits were made with the "reply" tool. They are marked as such in the revision history. None of the indentation is manually added or removed. Please see the MediaWiki DiscussionTools page and bring any concerns you may have about the tool there. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 15:10, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Just don't delete the bullet pts, again. Please. GoodDay (talk) 15:18, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

@GoodDay: I am not manually adding or removing any of the indentation/ bulletpoints. The tool handles that, as it does when I'm using it to reply to you here. I will continue to use it as it's more convenient than manually editing talk pages. If you have concerns with the tool, it would be better to discuss them at MediaWiki rather than on my talk page. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 15:27, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Stop using the tool & post manually. GoodDay (talk) 15:29, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

@GoodDay: I will continue to use the reply tool, as will many other editors. Again, if you have concerns with the tool, it would be more appropriate to discuss them at MediaWiki than on my talk page. Thanks. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 15:33, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

You're refusing to stop using it? GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

@GoodDay: I'm using it right now and it seems to be handling the indentation well. It's also more convenient than manually editing talk pages so I will continue to use it for that reason, yes. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 15:40, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

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

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) 13:37, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM. Thank you for your work on Michael Brennan (golfer). Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Nice start! Please add footnotes to the few sentences that do not yet have. Thanks and have a good day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Mariamnei (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

@Mariamnei: Hello. Can you specify which sentences you were referring to? You added a banner tag but no Template:Citation needed tags. The article is sufficiently referenced in my opinion, but I'd be happy to address any specific concerns you have. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 20:33, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out to me. These are the sentences that I see now still need sources:

• In his first high school match, he shot a round of 70 at South Riding Golf Club.
• He also won the Middle Atlantic Amateur in 2018 and 2019, as well as the 2019 Virginia State Amateur.
• He closed with a 66 to win by four strokes over Rico Hoey.

Since it falls under Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, we need to be extra careful to have sources for every claim. Mariamnei (talk) 08:01, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

@Mariamnei: Those sentences are supported by the inline citations:

• "In his first high school competition last month, Brennan shot a 70 at South Riding Golf Club" – ref #7

• "Won the Middle Atlantic Amateur in 2017/2018/2019...Virginia State Amateur 2019 Champion" – ref #9

• "Brennan, 23, shot a final-round 5-under 66 ... winning the Bank of Utah Championship on Sunday by four strokes over Rico Hoey" – ref #5

Per WP:CITEDENSE, we can have multiple sentences supported by the same reference. We do not need to duplicate the reference at the end of each individual sentence. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 19:14, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. You are correct, although it wasn't clear to me that the following sentence was always part of the same fact. Have a great day. Mariamnei (talk) 12:02, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

On 1 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ben Hogan Golf Company, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I found some pics on Commons and made a new category, Category:Andy Sullivan. These are the same guy, right? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:35, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: Hello. All four of those images are of the golfer, yeah. He does look quite different in the no-beard, hatless one to the others, so I understand your uncertainty.

Pvt pauline (creator of two of those images) uploaded many photos of golfers 10+ years ago, a lot of those probably don't have specific categories on Commons.

From the first listed contribution here, I see Sihwan Kim has multiple Commons photos , but no specific Commons category. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 10:31, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Done. Commons actually suggests that if a person has a WP-article, a Commons-category should be made even if there's only one pic atm. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:53, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Btw, making a category on Commons is pretty easy: Add a redlink to one pic, go to that link, and add some categories and perhaps a Template:Wikidata Infobox, which usually adds some categories automatically. You only need the qid parameter, add the qid from Wikidata there. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:01, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: There may be dozens of categories which could be created from Pvt pauline's images in that case. Admittedly I'm not enthused about adding categories for the likes of Chris Moody - and David Lipsky (golfer) - , but it's terra rossa if you're interested in that sort of digital gardening.

Pvt pauline appears to have passed away a few years ago unfortunately, but she seems to have made her own categories for the photos over on her nl-wiki user page if that's any help. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 11:19, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

You realize that by chasing old articles to make reverts that only you are doing is disruptive, right? You're doing nothing to improve articles (the total opposite actually) and blatantly changing stuff because you're mad at the other discussion. Please focus on what's important, otherwise this behavior can fall into disruptive/edit war actions. Thanks. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 13:15, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

@Gsfelipe94: Hello. The edits were made with clear rationales. Your reversion reinstated an unverified claim. The reference provided does not state 32nd visit to Canada or 6th to Vancouver. If content is to be restored, it should at a minimum be supported by a reference. Also, please read WP:AGF and do not claim other editors make edits because they are "mad". I am feeling calm.

Since I have reduced the protection on UFC Freedom 250 to EC for the duration per discussions with Nswix (I was never consulted, much less informed of, the two RFPP/D discussions) so editors can post the properly-sourced results of concluded bouts, I ask that as one of the editors whose edit-warring necessitated the full protection, you refrain from editing the article in any way during the event. Daniel Case (talk) 18:46, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Hello. I don't think full protection was necessitated by my actions, as I was actively discussing the changes on the talk page rather than editing the article in the time between the final edit to the article and the page protection. Anyway, enough nitpicking from me lol. It's no problem for me to not edit the article during the event and EC protection should allow relevant updates to be made while filtering out the vandalism that happens during high-profile UFC cards. Thanks. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 20:13, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Due to the frequency of your editing, I can't spend the time checking edits to see who is responsible for adding the names of minors to articles of golf players, but I see your name in each edit list. If it isn't you adding this information, apologies. If it is, please stop. Have a read of WP:BLPPRIVACY. Seasider53 (talk) 15:52, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I checked and the most recent name at Scottie Scheffler was not added by myself. From memory I did not include the name of the subject's child In the most recent golf biography I wrote (Stuart Grehan) although the name appeared in RS. I generally do not add names of golfers' children in articles, but I also generally do not revert other editors if they add names supported by RS. When removing them, "... per WP:BLPNAME" is enough; it doesn't need a remark that the content's presence in the article was "Amazing". This is not a brightline/amazing BLP violation, it's a matter of editor discretion with a preference towards exclusion. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 20:45, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
