Team nicknames

Hello GS, I noticed this editor removing team nicknames from multiple articles. Many articles contain them and I've not seen any other editors removing them. I would say their use should be limited, perhaps to avoid repetition where it might otherwise 'jar', but has there been any discussion about this previously? Thanks, happy new year.

Your nonsense

You do realise that petty amendments and accusing regular contributors of vandalism and threatening blocking which quite clearly isn't vandalism but valid contribution in good faith is totally ridiculous and defeats the entire purpose of wiki. You do not own wikipedia.Zebroski (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Update

Hello there GS,

finally I am able to write to you, and it is as follows: I trust the fact I have not received one word of feedback in our last "run-ins" (for lack of a better word) in José Manuel García (footballer) and Beto Vidigal is NOT due to the fact I now edit anonymously and ceased to do so with an account. I believe you know who 85.242.133.151 is (AlwaysLearning), this is the same person but with a different IP because now I am editing from my place of work - both are static, by the way; regarding Mr. Vidigal, for example, the refs I used to source his Primeira Liga experience I had no idea they were unreliable, I added those in hundreds of articles on Portuguese footballers and did not once receive a notification on the error of my ways. I also meant to draw no blood in my summaries, some of them continue as piss-poor as always I admit it, but so does my respect for you and your work and the love for the project, please do not doubt this.

And, believe me, the contents in Raúl Llorente will be restored. Happy editing and regards --193.137.135.2 (talk) 10:21, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi there GS, how are you? Related to AL's content, it was 100% right, only lacking references (that I have added right now). Cheers, MYS77 ^✉ 15:43, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both, GS for your extra carefulness and User:MYS77 for your help. I was going to do the entire work, now all we need is a ref for his Atlético Madrid past. Cheers! --85.242.133.151 (talk) 15:44, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

MYS did 99,99999999% of the work, but i just added some more sources (his Atlético Madrid past, his international career). Sorry for any inconvenience --85.242.133.151 (talk) 16:13, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Jeff Mensah edit

I simply removed outdated information and updated the page match stats and career info. I will leave references for the edits in the future, and better explanation for removing or editing content.

Oi wtf did i do wrong u (Personal attack removed). I just added in the new club that he is joining and that is CONFIRMED and now say what will be blocked without warning. And ffs I didn't even vandalize his article. The clubs that he didn't play for was not I made it. It was long ago and you also change his apps, goals on the WRONG clubs or college he played for. And now u accuse me of putting them and saying that they are without relevant sources. I merely just added Warriors FC to his new club as it was CONFIRMED. His page was long but has only 3 sources, does everything that was said on the page need sources? CO16CO16 13:31, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

• Yes. This is an encyclopedia. And when you create articles, esp. BLPs, they need sources too. Drmies (talk) 05:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
• @CO16:, please stop using Hokkien profanity. Wikipedia is a collaborative environment and personal attacks are not tolerated. As for sources, yes you need to add sources for any content you add or edit. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:26, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Are you crazy?

What on earth are you talking about?. I corrected Sid Nelson because you are wrong. The loan ends in May 2017 and is referenced as such as per wiki policy. It is NOT ongoing after May 2017 and you have NO REFERENCE that it is ongoing beyond May 2017. Not only are you WRONG, you also then insult me for correcting YOUR ERROR. I see you are also winding up other contributors unnecessarily on minor points of other topics. I would change your amendment and flag it as the vandalism it is but I really cant be bothered with your pathetic nonsense over one dash that will be corrected in May anyway. Get a life you ridiculous dope. Pwimageglow (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

I don't believe you. Where is it agreed that is 'well established community consensus' ? Don't bother answering because I can't be bothered. Even if it was a consensus it's a WRONG consensus as it's unreferenced and if you want to waste you time over a dash then do something useful and address the fact that it's a WRONG consensus!. Do you not even realise your trivial point scoring puts genuine contributors off being involved in Wiki - or is that your objective, to only have your own personal edits on wiki. Your "stop editing like children" is your exact personal insult - now you moan about me having a go back. Don't message me again - you are ridiculous and I've better things to do.Pwimageglow (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh - and then you say 'please do not resort to personal attacks. More childish behaviour from you'. So personal attacks is ok from you but no-one else. Ridiculous.Pwimageglow (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

David Holt

Hi,

Can I ask please what your concern is? I ask since the only content I added was the remark re Holt playing in the 1962 Scottish League Cup Final. Everything else is already in the article such as in the stats summary. A source has been provided for the 1962 Scottish League Cup Final in that I included the link to that wikipedia page.

I have tried to make a fully constructive edit. Indeed I am struggling to see how that cannot be seen as a constructive edit. I;d be grateful if you could please enlighten me to the contrary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.118.188.93 (talk) 10:45, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi again,

Re your reply:

"My concern is that you are not using any reliable sources to verify your claims. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a reliable source - you cannot use other articles as a source, it must be external. GiantSnowman 10:48, 16 January 2017 (UTC)"

This seems an odd remark, "Wikipedia is not a reliable source". I say that since I was under the impression the entire purpose of wikipedia is people use it as a reference point.

You are welcome to look at the page in question to see how long the content there has been accepted for. As seems to the case though you are insistent that the page in question is better without the constructively intended edit I made. That therefore seems to be the end of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.118.188.93 (talk) 10:55, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

El Troncal Airport

Hi GiantSnowman. I've recreated the El Troncal Airport page. It is typical of the 600+ small airport pages I've done, and the airport is listed in many of the major airport lists that we use. It has ID codes from both IATA and the UN's ICAO. I haven't seen the previous incarnation of the page. Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 19:27, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 19:47, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I have a problem, when I do edit count.

After clicking edit count on contribution page, a error webpage shows up. The webpage is similar to 404, but it says, "500 - Internal Server Error "Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 21:38, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

I think someone just fixed the problem. I now can access that page. Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 00:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Caolan McAleer

In the same way you should know how to a reference by now... people in glass houses, etc Salty1984 (talk) 21:57, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

This section is being made, since it is concerning another unrelated issue.

I am only writing this section just to inform you about a problem.

The Wikipedia article, List_of_Bollywood_films_of_2017, has a major formatting problem.

I tried to fix it to the fullest extent I could, with what I learned about some what of the simple stuff about Wikipedia editing, that I read about on Wikipedia. However the formatting issue still exists. The boxes(with the hide/show options(what are they called?)), that usually go on the bottom of the page, that show links to related topics, is coming right under the ==References== section title, regardless of how I place it (above or bellow) when editing. When editing it seems as if there are no references at all, however the references appear magically out of no where. They are not seen anywhere on the bottom of the page editing, the "Editing ..." web page, when editing, which is quite strange.

Before my edit, the section of the page where the ==References== should be located, the page looked weird and unorganized. I did not replace, the mere word "references" that was placed there before I even edited it, and put the actual ==References== section title, since, I did not know what was going on with the randomly appearing(when viewing)/disappearing(when editing) references.

Lastly some, of the references have red color font next to them, like "check| url value" or "missing or empty| title=". What do these mean?

Also, some of the movies listed under the unscheduled releases on the page have no sources listed next to their names. Should they be removed from the list?

Lastly, the last two rows in the unscheduled table have a problem, in the last column.

I know that this seems a lot, that i am informing you about. But the thing is I do not know much of this editing(code) stuff, as stated on top, I know only basic Wikipedia editing code. Not this complex stuff of tables, and those show/hide boxes. Aceing_Winter_Snows_Harsh_Cold (talk) 22:35, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Could you take a look at a sockpuppetry case for me? I suspect BoySteven of being a sockpuppet of AlexGerrard77 (talk · contribs). I've taken this case through SPI already. When the case was closed with no action taken, I appealed that decision to the closing admin, who told me, twice, that they'd have a second look, but then never got back to me. So now I'm looking for a second opinion from someone a little more familiar with football. I've detailed my evidence here and here. Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Lévy Madinda

Apologies for that removal, i was looking for a real ref instead of an external link (which is what NFT.com is) to source his debut for Gabon (thought it would be easy as he has played so many years in Spain now), found nothing.

I have tried two times and my request has been pulled off. Can you tell what should I do for granting administration rights. Ayyanali2100 (talk) 08:06, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Disruptive behaviour

The user slbEdit continues to revert my work and creating edit wars. I know you have warned him before but he didn't learn. He continues to disrespect the work of other wikipedians. In this page he reverted user Besteirense before he created a section on WT:FOOTY, where he was proven Besteirense didn't do anything wrong. He shows no good faith and he continues his childish behaviour. I hope he gets the one week ban as I did. Cheers mate. P3DRO (talk) 21:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

this one I put the mark in two SL Benfica matches and he reverted me without any explanation.

this one with user Besteirense Besteirense updated SL Benfica matches that were reschedule and added the report link to save time and edits.

the most recent I updated the national years according to ForaDeJogo. He reverted me with a stupid reason. P3DRO (talk) 21:17, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

I forgot this one. See for yourself. This was the last before you sespended me for a week. P3DRO (talk) 21:22, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Only now I have found that both of you have been talking on my back. |penmiss= is only used in penalty shootout, and that was already explained to P3DRO. I opened two discussions about match report links: one at the season article, another one at WT:FOOTY. Two discussions. If I remember correctly, I was reverted by GiantSnowman for changing the format in infobox footballer, just like I reverted P3DRO. P3DRO has removed sourced content once again, even after being blocked one week for the same reason. I reverted a WP:FUTURE edit made by @Besteirense:, although my edit summary could be better – hence my explanation in the article's talk page. This is not edit warring. SLBedit (talk) 21:20, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: slbEdit continues his disruptive behaviour and his constantly reverting of my work. here he is adding FALSE information. Amora FC did not won the Portuguese Second Division in 1991/92. The club won that tittle two seasons later and Jesus was not the manager. Portuguese 3rd tier was divided into three zones: North, Center, South. The three winners of this zones would play a play-off to see who was the Second Division Champion. Amora did not win, they came in 3rd place. This user is adding FALSE information. It was I who added that honour to Jesus' page seven years ago here but I added the "Zona Sul" (South Zone). But the winner of the "South Zone" is not a Champion, the winner does not receives any trophy. This user is starting an edit war again and he is adding lies, the source he is adding is unreliable and as factual errors. The reference says that "O primeiro clube que treinou foi o Amora, clube no qual alcançou o seu primeiro título, o de campeão da III Divisão" (The firt club he managed was Amora, the club where he achieved his first title, champion of THIRD DIVISION). NOT SECOND DIVISION, THIRD. The Portuguese Third division was the 4th tier in portuguese football. There is no record of Jesus winning any Third Division, Amora FC only won a III Division in 2000–01. Even if the source was reliable, which it isn't, the information slbEdit is adding in the page is WRONG. slbEdit has no reason at all, he is just edit warring again, as he always does. P3DRO (talk) 22:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

@P3DRO and SLBedit: your editing behaviour is appalling (both of you), with constant reverts of one another with little to no discussion on the talk page. Classic WP:OWN. You've both been blocked before, and if you go on you will both be blocked again.GiantSnowman 07:54, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

I have not reverted this user since I was suspended. I only report his edit wars. P3DRO (talk) 13:29, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

This user is constantly harassing me, every edit that I make about SL Benfica he edits after me, in the club season, a youth player, a former, player, etc., he is constantly following me, reverting my work and making edits behind my back. Must I remember you that you warned him before you blocked me one week? He continues his disruptive behaviour. He added unsorcered info into Luisão's and Pizzi's page. He added FALSE information about Jesus. He reverted my work about a Benfica youth player. P3DRO (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

here Another revert by slbEdit with a ridiculous reason: he claims there was no source when there was a source from Marítimo official website. Do the community a favour and ban this user for good. P3DRO (talk) 18:43, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, GS, I have a question. You deleted awards section of Piyapong Pue-on. Because of unref. Why do you keep award section of Drexell's Class? This rule applies to only footballers?Footwiks (talk)

FIFA official stats only

Hi GS! I respect stat consensus on English Wikipedia. So I report the article had wrong stats. Please check out and correct in List of international goals scored by Robert Lewandowski. These articles include FIFA not recognized stats (1 Goal South Korea vs Poland. 7 October 2011) This match was unoffcial match by FIFA. Therefore Not 85 matches-42 Goals, 84 matches-41 Goals is accurate.

Unofficial match information - South Korea 2 vs 2 Poland (7 October 2011, Seoul)

Goalscorers
South Korea:
Park Chu-young: 2 Goals / 1 match are already Excluded since that time - So currenct stats - 68 matches 24 goals is accurate
Poland:
Robert Lewandowski: 1 Goal / 1 match is Included - Not 85 matches-42 Goals, 84 matches-41 Goals is accurate
Jakub Błaszczykowski: 1 Goal / 1 match is Included - - Not 89 matches-18 Goals, 88 matches-17 Goals is accurate

South korean international related articles are accurate. So we need not to change. But We have to correct many polish international related articlesFootwiks (talk)

Hi GS! This match is definatley unoffcial match. There are also relible sources...

This match is unofficial match information - South Korea 2 vs 2 Poland (7 October 2011, Seoul)

This is south korean newspapers. Please use google translator [1]

Profile - Korea Football Association. Park Chu-young Stats. KFA didn't include Park Chu-young Goal and match [2]

Refer to this RSSF.... [[3]] These three matches are not recognised as full internationals by FIFA but they are official for the Polish federation.

Definately, Polish FA made a mistake.

You said to me that we only mark FIFA stats.

If you are busy, I'll correct them by FIFA offcial stats consensus. Footwiks (talk)

Recently someone has been proposing some of my articles for deletion because they do not play for national teams that are FIFA members.

English competence

Question for you. Just how bad does editor's English need to be, in order to be blocked for incompetence. Specifically, I'm asking about Das osmnezz. Their English is comprehensible, but bad enough that most of their edits require language corrections. And then there's the problem that they regularly revert the corrections. To be honest, I'm getting a little fed up with having to cleanup after them. Thanks in advance. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:13, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

What is your problem?

Why are you removing information on a page which has citations around to back up that information. An article should be about reading what's there. Including the citations available. You went to Ron Henry's page and started removing information without fact checking the citations there. It's not always right to remove content when you can simple fix the problems. That style of editing wikipedia is very negative and I hope you review articles accordingly including the citations in future. So can you please not take offence and be more aware of your actions.

Did you just remove all the work I put in that article just because I didn't add a reference? I know how to do it, I just didn't think someone like you would remove my contribution just because of a missing ref. I added a ref for the career statistics and updated them.

He hasn't played im the Liga I, he hasn't played for Dinamo either. Why isn't that category removed also? And the article you mentioned about references doesn't say anywhere that there must be spaces between de equals. The examples offered don't contain that spaces.8Dodo8 (talk · contribs) 18:45, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I understand. BTW, there is one thing that bugs me out for a while. A fellow friend who edits the wikipedia told that the clubs' names must be mentioned fully (RSC Anderlecht instead of Anderlecht, etc.). Is that correct? Because I did not see that on big player's pages.8Dodo8 (talk · contribs)

Disruptive behaviour by the same user

slbEdit continues to revert my work. He deleted the information about the current season of Benfica B 1 by saying "Season isn't over". To be coherent, I removed the information on S.L. Benfica's seasons page with the same argument he used. He reverted me without any logical reason 2. P3DRO (talk) 22:41, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: This user is reverting me in my own user page. Is this allowed? I had in my user page a thanks message from other user and he is reverting me. Do something please. P3DRO (talk) 19:44, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The user has no business editing your userpage at all, P3DRO, much less reverting you. I've reverted back and warned them. Bishonen | talk 19:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC).

@Bishonen: thanks for stepping in - shame it's fallen on deaf ears. I already warned SLBedit to leave P3DRO alone which they completely and disruptively ignored - I think a block is in order, but what's your view? GiantSnowman 21:09, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I think so too. To repeatedly remove a wikilove thing, that P3DRO has been given and wants to keep on his userpage, is quite a disagreeable thing to do, too — worse that ordinary reverting and the like. You'd better do it. I just warned him, not realizing he'd already been told, so I don't think I should block. Bishonen | talk 21:52, 23 February 2017 (UTC).

Dynamic IP disruption

Hi. A dynamic IP starting at 2a02:c7f:5405:1300 has been disruptive on articles related to Tranmere Rovers and reverted multiple times by multiple editors. For example look at Ritchie Sutton history.

Around 15 articles, there are 11 players + 3 subs playing each game and the editor updates all that has been playing that match. Qed237 (talk) 19:53, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

I would say about twice a week, the problem is that I can not be online all the time so everytime he does it it takes a day or to before I can revert, and to block him then is no point, he will just have a new IP next time. Qed237 (talk) 20:07, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Matt Ward (Football Coach)

Hi GiantSnowman, apologies if this is not correct place to contact you. September 2016 you deleted the page Matt Ward (Football Coach) as it did not cover certain guidelines (not being an ex-professional player or Head Coach of a professional team). He has now been signed as a Head Coach of a professional team. Please can you advise where to send you the evidence to this?

The headline of the previous deleted page now comes up in google search under 'wikiwand' by google searching 'matt ward football coach deleted wikipedia page'. Also I believe it shows on your deletion records when this article was originally deleted and why.

The coach in question has passed on to me an immigration letter from his new employers stating his function as Head Coach and of which team. If this is not sufficient then I can wait until the news is officially made public. Really appreciate your guidance and patience with this, as I'm still learning how to fully use Wikipedia. --Ianlogan77 (talk) 15:41, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Familiar names within boldnames

Template talk:Largest cities of Paraná

Hi GS, see my post at the above page regarding reversions to the format of the table. I think the citypopulation source is better as it clearly lists the cities in order and does not require original work by the reader. The reverted box format is more appropriate as it doesn't include meso-region, for which there's no indication of notability (all red-links). Can you consider, and change back if you feel appropriate, as don't want edit war. I would be happy for current format to remain if there was a way of removing meso-region, but this may not be possible (you looked at it previously). Thanks.

FPL Additions

Quick heads up. I've reverted your most recent edit here, since you appear to have made the same mistake I almost did. Das Osmnezz's first edit to the list which was reverted by Fenix Down added the Gabonese top flight to the non-fully-pro list, while the second added the top league in The Gambia. On top of that, the source added is pretty unambiguous saying Of course, there are several African countries where professional leagues do not exist such as in the Gambia where footballers still must first be employed on other jobs and play football recreationally. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Removing infobox parameters

No, and I'm rather surprised you might genuinely believe I'd say something as silly as "keep all possible parameters just in case an editor needs to use them in the future". I'm saying specifically that removing |death-date= and |death-place= – basic parameters that are certain to be used, and in the case of an 83-year-old probably sooner rather than later – is pretty pointless. Matter of interest, why do you remove them? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Plenty of editors do "include them in every infobox, and just have them blank for God knows how long". Just as they do with other basics like |height=, |image=, |youthclubs=. Personally, when creating a new article about a living person, I generally don't include the death-related params (I didn't create the Newman article). But I genuinely don't see the harm in their presence, and I do see a benefit in making it easier for basic parameters to be updated correctly when the data becomes available (or necessary) if the potential updater doesn't have to go searching for how to do it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:35, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Trust you are well. Thank you for correspondence regarding Siyabonga Nontshinga, the team I added to his page is one me and him played for, not professionally. It was at Nelson Mandela Metro University in Port Elizabeth's Residents League.

Another article I added to was as per subject heading. Siyabonga Nontshinga being a notable resident of Despatch. Now I am from Despatch and some of the people listed aren't even notable in there own homes...

Siyabonga actually played for Bafana Bafana.

He should definitely be on that list, unless his removal has been racially charged?

Please explain to me how replacing the sentence "Carreiro was born in" with "Carreiro grew up in" constitutes "unconstructive" "vandalism"!!! Since a considerable number of Canadian soccer players grew up (and learned to play the game-) in a place different from their place of birth, it makes sense to stress his upbringing in MB as it's unusual for a top class soccer player. The Winnipeg Free Press link mentions he moved to Toronto only at age 16 so I have mentioned this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlindroo (talk • contribs)

Efc1878

Hi. Are you currently active? I need an admin to take a look at Efc1878, I can give you more information if you have the time to take a look. Qed237 (talk) 19:38, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

This has already been solved by Anna Frodesiak who gave him a message at his talkpage but I will give you an explanation anyway.

Basically Efc1878 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) has been editwarring earlier at multiple Everton players, for example Tom Davies (footballer, born 1998) and he was blocked twice for it. First he was block for the initial edit war (see here how Mattythewhite updated infobox and timestamp before Efc1878 changed it here just like he did on many other articles). This eventually led to an edit war over timestamps and the editor was blocked for 24 hours.

Then when his first block expired he immediately made the same edit he was blocked for (actually first as an IP here and then when his block expired here). The IP is confirmed after he edited here at Footballproject talkpage as IP but signed with his username (with an incorrect timestamp so it could look like he posted earlier than other editors above him). The fact that he resumed with the exact same edit after a recent block, had him blocked a second time (now for 72 hours).

However this has not stopped him and he did it yet again, but he did it included in an other edit (an attempt to hide it?) which you can see in this diff at Séamus Coleman. After that I gave him a final warning at his talkpage, since it was discovered a long time after (about a week) I thought I could not go back to AIV but best to warn again first. He responded by copying the warning I gave him and added it to my talkpage. He even copied my signature and just changed it to his name. Then he also reverted me to insert his timestamp again.

So to summarize, he has been blocked two times for edit warring after inserting same timestamp over and over again and that does not stop him from doing it again. A clear case of edit warring. Qed237 (talk) 10:38, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Héldon Ramos

Hi there,

You removed the 'Honours' section from the Heldon Ramos article as a winner of the 2014–15 Taça de Portugal. He played for Sporting in that cup season: see match report here or just the statistics table on the player's page.

Is there some formal agreed-upon-by-community criteria for adding a competition to 'Honours' you were following when you deleted it? If so, can you point me to that criteria? Thanks.

Geregen2 (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Ok, so no specific criteria then, I re-added with a reference. Geregen2 (talk) 19:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Community guidelines, don't dismiss them - definitely, but which guidelines? That's what I asked originally, I went through WP:FOOTY and associated talk pages and I couldn't find a specific guideline about this issue. As per Soccerway not listing it, TheFinalBall aka ZeroZero which is way more complete specifically for Portuguese statistics, does list this as a title he won on his Titles page, so without the guidelines there's no definite answer. Geregen2 (talk) 20:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Well, then it seems to be basically impossible to ever fill the "honor" section for cup competitions-winning players who didn't play in the final of the said cup then. I just spent 10 minutes trying to find out a reliable source stating which players received a medal for winning the 2015-16 FA Cup with Manchester United, I couldn't. FA website doesn't list them, ManU site doesn't list them, newspaper coverage doesn't list them. This is the biggest national cup competition and one of the biggest clubs in the world - and there is no reliable sources. Adnan Januzaj is listed by soccerway as the winner of that cup, even though he didn't play a single game in the competition. Why? I don't know. I am sure the search would be just as futile for Coppa Italia or Copa del Rey etc. That's not very promising...Geregen2 (talk) 20:59, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Nigeria national football team

Per my interpretation upon perusal of WP:NOTGALLERY, this refers specifically to externally linked media and images. No reference exists governing the existence of internally generated reference items, such as which you removed from the Nigeria national football team page. In addition, precedent exists for similar, and more substantial sections, on other national team pages:

Germany national football team
England national football team
Brazil national football team
United States men's national soccer team
Portugal national football team
Colombia national football team- History of the Colombia national football team

These are a portion of examples obtained after only a few minutes of searching. If you believe that this is incorrect, then I suggest addressing this on WikiProject Football where this issue can be clarified and consensus can be reached, at which point this can be removed from every national team page which contains such sections. Until such time, the edits on the Nigeria national football team should be left alone. I obviously have no issue with adherence to Wikipedia Policy but only if there is a clear consensus as to how those rules are interpreted and fair, universal application of the statutes. Should this policy be applied across the board, then I have no problem adhering to the will of the project. I will not do so while this interpretation is inconsistently enforced and no consensus exists as to the composition/limits that the sited rule encompasses.

Feel free to express your viewpoint to me on my talkpage, or at Talk:Nigeria national football team where I have left a similar comment with more clarification on my stance. However, as I stated before, this topic should be formally debated on the WikiProject Football page so that it can be applied universally. Thank you. unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 22:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for replying on my talk page. Again, I have no problem if my interpretation is found to be invalid, but I do take issue with selective enforcement of policy if such is the case. This is especially so when this is done prior to gaining a consensus as to the precise definition of said policy. If this is your interpretation, I feel the need to question why the first page to find edits is the Nigerian team page when more trafficked pages, including in the nation where you currently reside, might have been perused first. What concerns me is that arbitrary interpretation and enforcement of a rule might only affect pages which have fewer dedicated editors and thus fewer voices to argue an alternate opinion. I feel that changing the article before acquiring outside opinion and not making such deletions universal across WikiProject Football runs a risk whereby certain pages exist under a separate set of guidelines from the rest of the project. Wikipedia guidelines highlight consensus (WP:Consensus) for this very reason. Respectfully, I do not agree with how you are choosing to address this for the reasons that I have stated above, but will make requests for and await additional input on the matter.

I would suggest that you also take a look at WP:SSEFAR which is part of the same link that you sent to me. It expresses within Wikipedia guidelines reasons for why existing precedent should not be easily dismissed. unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 15:12, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Goya/Carta

I guess that means it did not happen then since it is not on Wikipedia?  MPJ-DK  11:58, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

• Ah but that was not your initial statement at all.  MPJ-DK  12:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

• Ah so where in No mention on Goya article about Carta, and vice versa... are you mentioning sources and so on? and then denying it moments later? That is not really helpful and I think I've had enough of this conversation, go do what you feel like you have to do but at least be clear about it instead of lying.  MPJ-DK  12:12, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

• What are YOU on about? If a source is needed it would have to be found OFF Wikipedia, nothing on Wikipedia can be used to source statements on Wikipedia. Come on now, it is only one of the fundamentals of Wikipedia that Wikipedia is not a source for Wikipedia.  MPJ-DK  14:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

• So again with the "not mentioned", your message seems to be mixed here since you denied originally making the same statement. I tire of trying to chase down your circular arguments so I just took it out again. But you really should be clearer in your communications so that perhaps.the nect editor.does not just throw his hands in the air and walk away from an attempt at a logical conversation.  MPJ-DK  14:08, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

re: Nigeria national football team kits

I apologize if my linking you on the requests to the discussion was problematic. It is not my intention to cause disruption. I generally spend most of my time on Wikipedia creating tables and making edits that are generally either well-received or low impact enough that I don't have to interact with other editors on a regular basis, so some etiquette can be lost on me. I included your name because I had wanted to remain transparent and allow you to be aware of whom I had contacted. I will avoid that practice in the future. unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 06:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

On the topic of WP:NOTGALLERY I would like to begin to rewrite the section in question. So far consensus does not appear to support the assertion that this rule applies, but in the interest of harmony I would like to move forward with a compromise solution that would improve the article in a manner that all can agree upon. For that I would like to have your input. If you have any opinion on how the article can be improved please contact me on my talk page or WP:FOOTY. unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 06:43, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Notability

Hey, just a quick check on international notability. Would players from the Mayotte national football team and Réunion national football team be notable? They are in the same situation as nations such as Tahiti and Martinique, but do not get to compete in OFC or CONCACAF tournaments. Are competitions such as the Coupe de l'Outre-Mer, Triangulaire and the Indian Ocean Island Games organised by a body reputable enough to warrant notability?

I note that the 2011 Pacific Games seems to be a similar tournament to the above listed (as it was ultimately NOT qualification for the World Cup, nor sponsored or endorsed by FIFA or any other continental governing body), and players at the Pacific Games are eligible for pages, regardless of their teams being FIFA members.

For any regular mod, a list of the current squad should be more than enough, if they're in the current squad they've won the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.133.240.26 (talk) 21:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Except it's not an assumption. I've submitted a link with the current squad of the club. If a player is in the current squad of a team (any team) why wouldn't he get a championship medal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.133.240.26 (talk) 21:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Franz Dienert

Hello

Why did you delete my changes in this article?, He was born on 1 January 1900 and died in 1978, is evident that he died at 78 years old, even if he died on 1 January 1978, because he bornt in the first day of year. So, don't have sense put 77 or 78 years old.

Sockpuppet

Hi there GiantSnowman,

I'm almost certain that this user Notyetmyboy is a Sockpuppet of slbEdit. The modus operandi is the same, he only contributed in pages related to SL Benfica, he was only active when slbEdit was not editing and he stopped editing when slbEdit started to edit again. Also, the user name is a clear provocation. I once called him a boy because of his behaviour and he was suspended for one month, thus the username: "not yet my boy". Is there a way to confirm my suspicions? P3DRO (talk) 09:42, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hubert Butler (footballer) / Herbert Butler (footballer)

Hello GS,
I recently created a page for 1920s Palace player Hubert Butler. Today I found on checking the category for another player without an article that there is already a page for 'Herbert Butler' (ref'd to Joyce). Clearly the same player, Dob, PoB, appearances all tally. Purkiss/Sands (CPFC 1905–89) and King (CPFC 1905–2011) have him as Hubert, as do CPFC here. Would the best way to resolve be to merge Herbert to Hubert, keeping the former as a redirect? (If Joyce has it wrong would be valid search term). Could be that the creator of the earlier page misread it...I don't have access to a copy of Joyce. Eagleash (talk) 22:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Template:Edinburgh City F.C. squad

Hi GiantSnowman, roughly this time last I created a squad template for then-newly promoted Scottish League Two side Edinburgh City F.C., which was deleted after a discussion. One year on, I now wondered whether you thought it would be worthwhile re-creating the template? With almost half the squad having Wikipedia articles, as well as having notable players such Craig Beattie and Derek Riordan, I believe that a template for the club would now be more useful. Just wanted your thoughts on the issue before moving forward. Thanks :) Exxy (talk) 13:57, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I had thought about that, however, there have been a number of occasions where teams (Montrose F.C. is the team that springs to mind) have had perhaps only 2 or 3 bluelinks and these haven't gone through the PROD procedure. I'll create the article now though, and will gladly take part in a discussion in future if anyone feels the template isn't necessary! :) Exxy (talk) 22:17, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Neal Patterson

Hi, I work for Cerner and noticed that you edited Neal Patterson's Wikipedia page (https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Neal_Patterson) earlier this afternoon. Mr. Patterson was co-founder and CEO, so if you wanted to note his death on Cerner's Wiki page (https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Cerner), please feel free to do so. You could also note that Cerner vice chairman and co-founder Cliff Illig has been named as chairman and interim CEO.

Here's a link with more info: http://globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/07/09/1041782/0/en/Cerner-Announces-Passing-of-Chairman-and-CEO-Neal-Patterson.html
