Padilla

How do you know that there will not be a US Senate special election in California?

Because Alex Padilla is chosen to run in the 2022 US senate election for a full 6-year term. ApprenticeFan ^work 03:09, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

• That doesn't mean he also won't run in a special election or that that won't be a special election. Please cite a reliable source in the article. Thanks. —GoldRingChip 03:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in 2000 United States gubernatorial elections, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Shadowrvn728 (talk) 00:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

ITN recognition for 2021 Australian Open

Edit summary

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!

Tennis qualifications for 2020 olympics

Hi! Good job with the qualification list. I just wanted to know what criteria are you using for declaring that a player has qualified, because I believe that a lot more of men tennis players are already qualified, since they cannot be surpassed by enough players in order to be out of the 56 ranked places of qualification. Also, it may be detrimental to discard at this stage players under criteria B (like Paula Badosa in women's singles as an example) since they could still get dispensation to play.

Resolving our differences

To @ApprenticeFan:,

Early last month, I did the work of changing and updating the American Idol articles and its colors and I had done them while because I have my time available because of an week-off from a hectic schedule I had prior to the editing, and I know that I wasn't that perfect, but I acknowledge some of the edits and I came to finish the job while you are busy. I'm also didn't aware that you are no longer a fan of The Apprentice (that time was due to some help but I still did myself) due to the name moniker and you prefer to stick to the name as it is because you prefer that way (and I will not mention that ever again). Now that everything has set aside, I think we should consider things settled and we should resolve the matter in the nicest way possible? I won't ask the same question again but I will be happy to help out in the future because we do share the interest of television, just to let you know. I guess we could let this slide and consider this as helping one another?

Please do reply once you see it because as an acknowledgement. Thank you. TVSGuy (talk) 15:38, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

2021_BNP_Paribas_Open

Hi there, I understand why some players have multiple collections of points dropping, but why do some players have multiple collections of points adding to their score for week of 2021 BNP Paribas? Surely for that fortnight that’s the only tournament they’re going to be able to add points? I’m curious. If you could explain (in the article or here) that would be super. Thanks. Tobyjamesaus (talk) 12:04, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Because the 2019 points had already reduced by 50 percent, but the ladies points will remain till November 8 as in case, it will be dropped including the tournaments were held in 2019 but did not hold this year including Asia. ApprenticeWiki work 12:08, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your response. I understand the dropping points; it’s really clearly written in the article itself. My question is points won. It’s not clear how/why some players add multiple scores. Ie. Rublev. 10+90. I assume 10 is from the tournament itself and subject to change but from what is he adding an extra 90? Another case, Sonego 10+13? Another case Khachanov? Etc

If you could explain multiple points won? That would be awesome. Thanks Tobyjamesaus (talk) 06:09, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

• • Hi User:ApprenticeFan, not sure if you got my response from 14 September. If you don't know the answer to the question, that's fine, just let me know and I can ask someone else. Thanks.Tobyjamesaus (talk) 10:27, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Miss Universe 2021 map

Hello! Thank you for making the results map for Miss Universe 2021, I just had two things about it. Is there any way you could separate Northern Ireland from Great Britain in the results? The highlight for Great Britain is currently representing the United Kingdom, while Northern Ireland competes as part of Ireland at Miss Universe since it is Miss Great Britain and not Miss United Kingdom. Secondly, could you change "Top 11" to "Top 16" in the results key? I would change these all myself but I don't know how to work with these maps. Thanks! { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 11:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (as Great Britain) but unlike Miss World has England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland competing separately. ApprenticeWiki work 11:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Great Britain and the United Kingdom are not the same thing. Great Britain refers to Scotland, Wales, and England, while the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland. In Miss Universe, Northern Ireland competes with Ireland, as you can the Irish representatives from both 2021 and 2020 were from Belfast in Northern Ireland. Also, could you please ping me with your responses here so I know when you answer? { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 11:45, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Your signature

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font> tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. As explained at WP:SIGFONT:

<font>...</font> tags were deprecated in HTML4 and are entirely obsolete in HTML5. This means that the popular browsers may drop support for them at some point. Wikipedia is already preparing for this by delinting code project-wide through Linter. When support finally is dropped, the tags will be ignored in all signatures; any properties such as color and font family will revert to their default values. For this reason, it is recommended that you use <span>...</span> tags and CSS properties instead.

I have prepared a replacement signature string for you. You are encouraged to change

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:00, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

2022 French Open – Women's singles qualifying moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 2022 French Open – Women's singles qualifying, is not suitable 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, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creep^Talk 12:50, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Is this important?

Is this information important? If so, why not add it with a proper source instead of hidden text? It seems odd to me. Cheers, SVTCobra 02:57, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

July 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2022 Winter Olympics. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:17, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

List of Miss Supranational countries Edit Invitation

Hello, I'm User:Canny Yeohmanly. I invite you to edit List of Miss Supranational countries page, because I see many of your contributions to editing articles related to beauty pageants. The page table has not been updated to the last version, after the Miss Supranational 2022 competition. Hope your contribution can help--Canny Yeohmanly (talk) 08:58, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

TAR Canada Map

On the map for TAR Canada 8, Akimiski Island is coloured in when it should not be; it is part of Nunavut, which was not visited. 96.48.233.241 (talk) 03:36, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

The Amazing Race 33

Thank you for adding the contestants table to The Amazing Race 33. I took the liberty of making just a few modifications. The red background looked very harsh for the four contestants who couldn't resume the race, so I replaced it with a more neutral gray. Bgsu98 (talk) 16:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Your signature and linter errors

Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:ApprenticeFan|<span style="color:indigo;">'''ApprenticeWiki'''</span>]] [[:Special:Contributions/ApprenticeFan|<sup style="color:#919191;">'''''work'''''</sup>]] ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature.

If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 20:26, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey, your signature's not changed.

<font>...</font> tags were deprecated in HTML4 and are entirely obsolete in HTML5. This means that the popular browsers may drop support for them at some point. Wikipedia is already preparing for this by delinting code project-wide through Linter. When support is finally dropped, the tags will be ignored in all signatures; any properties such as color and font family will revert to their default values. For this reason, it is recommended that you use <span>...</span> tags and CSS properties instead. For usage examples, see Wikipedia:Signature tutorial § Real-life examples.

It would be appreciated if you can change your signature to the one above. Thanks. Sheep (talk) 12:45, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

OK and done. Sorry for your appreciation and it works properly. It's now fixed. Font via code replaced by span. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 12:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

TAR - Express Pass

I don't personally think the Express Pass needs to be reflected in the results table, but I could see someone wanting to quickly check to see what leg a team used their Express Pass on, rather than have to scroll through the episode summaries. However, the orange is not a suitable color, per MOS:ONWHITE. I have gone ahead and switched to purple, which is on the list of suitable colors. Please check out this table: The Amazing Race 17#Results to see how it looks, and I will continue to switch over to purple as I edit these seasons. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:34, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive and illegible edits

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Cpotisch (talk) 09:08, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

These edits ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) had atrocious grammar and spelling issues, while these edits included wholly unsourced changes to content ([6] [7] [8]). These are just a tiny, tiny sample of the many edits you have made in the past week alone that have been littered with these issues. You have also been warned about this numerous times ([9], [10], [11][12]). It would also appear, per this past revision of your talk page, that you were in fact blocked for this issue. Please screen your edits for grammatical errors before publishing them, and make sure that they are well-sourced. Remember that competence is required to edit Wikipedia. Cpotisch (talk) 09:24, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I am very sorry that I did not know what I have happened. English is not my first language although I am understood it that I memorize any English words. I hate to get warned and I have never blocked on Wikipedia before. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 11:25, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I understand that English isn’t your primary language, but that doesn’t change the fact that you need to be able to write grammatically correct sentences to edit the English Wikipedia. Also, you absolutely have been blocked in the past (here and here) so don’t be dishonest. Cpotisch (talk) 18:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Both are IP addresses, the account in itself hasn't been blocked [13]. I have also been frustrated with the lack of competence from this editor. I think its about time this is addressed. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:47, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Definitely let me know if you see further disruptive edits and/or want to take it to ANI. I’ll back you up. Cpotisch (talk) 01:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at The Bachelor (American season 27). Your command of English is not strong enough to add text in English Wikipedia. This is being discussed at ANI, as you know. While that discussion was going on, you edited the article in the exact same manner that was reported to ANI. Please do not add text to Wikipedia articles in English. bonadea contributions talk 11:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I am sorry that I did not really disrupt plot summary. I was able to have my summarized on the first episode of The Bachelor. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 11:11, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Your response here is not possible to understand. The plot summary you added (and restored after it had been removed by me) is not possible to understand. I do not think that you want to be disruptive. But editing articles to add text that is impossible to understand is disruptive. --bonadea contributions talk 11:37, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't really understand what I have did. I don't violate my edits through the plot summary rules that would be a proper Wikipedian. Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother have good episode summaries. I hate going suspended to make with assume good faith. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 11:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@Bonadea: can you back me up at ANI, where I've raised these concerns. I see no reason why this user can be trusted to keep editing. Cpotisch (talk) 13:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Salvio ^giuliano 14:00, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Unblock requests

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I have been blocked by Salvio giuliano (talk · contribs) to make my privileges to continue editing in Wikipedia. I am an active user for almost 18 years and had never been blocked before. I will make civil and please let unblock my account to continue my contributions that I use to. I am totally frustrated for NOW. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 14:04, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Wow, WP:TOOSOON. This doesn't come close to addressing the demonstrated WP:CIR concerns. It's unlikely you'll be unblocked until you demonstrate a substantial number of edits on a different wiki. Those edits should be in English and should consist of several hundred edits over at least six months. Be warned, the strong belief is that you are currently not capable of doing so. No offense intended, it's just that your demonstrated ability to communicate in English is simply not strong enough at this time. Yamla (talk) 14:07, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I have to agree with Yamla. Your unblock request demonstrates some of the core reasons why you were blocked: severe grammatical errors. With all respect, your English is so bad that your editing was far more frustrating to everybody else who had to clean up your messes that your block is to you. We have to go with the greater good and what is best for Wikipedia. Until you can demonstrate better skill in English, the community will almost certainly keep your account blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 14:12, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

It is been not more than 10 minutes I was disabled my editing. I didn't do vandalism, I never took sock puppetry. I hate to stay I am not a bad person. I hate being warned that I don't violate edit war.

My usual contributions that I edit are Grand Slam (tennis), beauty pageants and reality television.

ApprenticeFan is my one and only account in Wikipedia. Can I create another one if possible that my current account gets blocked? ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 14:16, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

No, most certainly not. You must not create another account. See WP:SOCK and WP:EVADE. You are blocked. You personally. Until the block on this account is lifted, you are not permitted to edit Wikipedia. --Yamla (talk) 14:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry Yamla, I forgot to add the {{unblock}} template that I have editing contributions to do. ApprenticeWiki ^contribs 14:19, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Honestly this is a hilarious reply. Your editing was disabled because you are blocked; that is the definition of "blocked". The fact that you don't know that is once again an indictment of your language difficulties. Furthermore, no one accused you of sockpuppetry, yet here you are literally voicing your intention to do sock puppetry. And the very fact that it's only been 10 minutes is part of why you almost certainly will not get unblocked. Cpotisch (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
