Disambiguation link notification for July 13[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1997-98 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Billy Thomas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

August 2013[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give 1988–89 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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, 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. 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Duplicate articles[edit]
Hi Mcade2010
I see that you have been creating articles on basketball team seasons, but I am puzzled why you have created duplicates.
e.g. 1967-68 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team was a duplicate of 1967–68 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team (the latter one uses an endash in its title)
Per MOS:DASH, the endash is the correct form to use, and the hyphenated form should be a redirect. Since both cover the same topic, I have redirected 1967-68 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team to the endashed 1967–68 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team.
I have found about a dozen similar duplicates in the last 24 hours, which I think have all been your work. In each case, I have redirected them. Please, if you create any, can you avoid creating duplicates? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:56, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Big Nine/Ten[edit]
You've changed the name of the conference in 1941/44 team season articles from Big Ten to Big Ten. Per WP:COMMONNAME, we have maintained those previously with the "Big Ten" name as that is how the conference was commonly referenced at the time. Do you have some contrary evidence to support your change? Cbl62 (talk) 20:59, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- It's been quite some time since I looked at this, so my memory may be faulty. Please let me know your thoughts on "common name". Cbl62 (talk) 21:03, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- I redid my searches which confirm my statement above. The evidence in contemporaneous source is clear and overwhelming that the conference was known as the "Big Ten" during these years. The "Big Nine" moniker did not come into common usage until later. Can you please revert your changes? Cbl62 (talk) 21:06, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
