To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes

Hello, Bgsu98,
Regarding the categories you tagged, categories can't be deleted until they are emptied. Otherwise they leave red link categories which are not permitted. Please do that first before tagging a category for deletion. This is part of the CFD process. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information; I did not mean to make anything difficult. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Re: Apology
[edit]Bgsu98,
Thank you for the apology!
(Though you forgot an edit summary...)[FBDB] It takes a level of kindness to apologize to someone after snapping at them for unrelated reasons, so I commend you for that. Happy editing!

Merano Ice Trophy Event
[edit]@Bgsu98Dear Friend, my name is Ekaterina I’m the organiser of the event Merano Ice Trophy Memorial Martina Barricelli. I had no idea that our event has a Wikipedia as I found it yesterday. I appreciate you giving the attention to our event but we have nothing to do with Merano Cup so could you please let me correct the page or maybe you could just delete the results of Merano Cup and the external link of Ice Club Merano because this is not us. This competition is dedicated to our colleague that have past away so this event is very personal to us and we would not like it to be confused with Merano Cup which doesn’t exist for years. I’ve already sent an email to Wikipedia and they told me that this is a conflict of interest. Thank you for understanding. You can check my name in the event’s announcement so you can trust that I’m the real organiser. Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 13:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Ekaterina Ivleva, it looks like the results up through 2017 are for the Merano Cup, and since 2022 are for the Merano Ice Trophy. Are you telling me that these are two separate, unrelated events? Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- That’s why we called our event Merano Ice Trophy Memorial Martina Barricelli so it’s different from Merano Cup Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your quick answer. Yes exactly ! Merano Cup was organised for years in November, we are organising our event after the Europeans and before the Worlds. Next season we will have our event 2 weeks before the junior worlds. We are ASM skating club and Merano Cup was organised by Ice Club Merano and they are not existing since 2019. Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 13:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I will return the article to the original name Merano Cup, and then spin off Merano Ice Trophy as a separate article with the results from the last two years. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your effort and for your passion for our sport ! Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you have any links for any news articles, etc. regarding the Merano Ice Trophy, please let me know. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- All I have is in Italian , could be useful anyway ? Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Si, io posso usarli. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Perfetto ! Nei prossimi giorni mando tutto ! Grazie ! Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Edits on Amazing Race Canada 10
[edit]Please don’t revert editors changes without consulting first. If you fail to follow this Wikipedia already knows and they will be talking to you. If you have a problem, reply to this message. Jd101991 (talk) 00:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- What in fuck’s name does that even mean? Who is “they” and why will they be “talking to” me? That greater than/less than icon you keep trying to use is wholly inappropriate as it has been used to represent the Yield on the results tables of previous seasons. User:Xoruz found an appropriate icon that actually looks like an A. He is very good at this, by the way; so I would follow his lead. You have been reverted by two different editors now (Xoruz and myself); any further attempts by you to revert to that < will constitute edit warring. Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- So since you reverted it I’ll give Wikipedia the go ahead because I sent an message and they responded and they will talk with you. Jd101991 (talk) 00:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- And you said he’s good at this??? He took all the info from my group and copied and pasted before I had the chance to. Jd101991 (talk) 00:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, you go ahead and do that, champ. 😂😂😂 Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg/80px-Wikipedia_New_page_reviewer.svg.png)
Hi Bgsu98, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
- Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
- If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
- If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies
You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Hey man im josh (talk) 22:00, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
TFL notification
[edit]Hi, Bgsu98. I'm just posting to let you know that World Figure Skating Championships cumulative medal count – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for August 16. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 21:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Drum and Bugle Corps Edits
[edit]I am not sure what motivated you to go through and delete repertoire and score history pre 1972 for a bunch of drum and bugle corps but this information is all verified and sourced for every page. You can't unilaterally make a decision that "we" aren't going to acknowledge information past a certain date. Odysseymsc (talk) 14:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't do anything unilaterally, champ. All of the former DCA corps are now under the umbrella of DCI, which means their articles are going to be adapted to match the format of the existing DCI articles. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:35, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User Deleting Historical Information. Thank you. El_C 14:46, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
