I gave you clear and obvious (visual and audio) "evidence" that Clive Griffiths called games for the Major Indoor Soccer League but because it was on YouTube, you write it off as "not enough" (as if I'm totally making what I posted about Clive Griffiths and the MISL up). And even without that, there are detailed summaries of the television and radio coverage provided by the Los Angeles and Wichita teams in their individual Wikipedia articles, that I incorporated in the list. Also, there is "notable" coverage of Bob Carptener's MISL broadcasting career:

I work extremely hard trying to put this list together and find as many reliable sources as I can possibly find, and I'm not going to let you junk it just because you personally don't get it. I don't understand why you're so up in arms with me having to prove that Clive Griffiths broadcast games for the MISL. You might as well also do that (and be so knee-jerk) with just about any other broadcaster of a major professional sports organization like Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Hockey League, the NBA, etc. It seems like you're taking things from an English perspective in that you've likely never heard of the MISL (an American based professional football league), thus from your personal perspective, things like Clive Griffiths broadcasting games for the Kansas City club isn't "notable" enough for you.

Media coverage for the MISL has been acknowledged here:

This would be the final year the MISL would have games aired on network television, CBS broadcast Game 4 of the championship series live on May 25.^[1]

And here from the year prior:

Not all news was bad. The Force and Blast routinely drew strong crowds, and the new franchise in Tacoma nearly made the playoffs. The MISL drew 2.5 million to their games, and another 300,000 attended the playoff games. One game was televised on CBS (Game 3 of the championship series on June 2), as well.

And the year before that:

The MISL continued to make inroads on national television. While the spring would see the end of the league's two-year deal with the USA Network, CBS would broadcast a playoff game live from Cleveland on May 7 that drew an estimated four million viewers.

And here's some sources of USA and CBS broadcasting the MISL in the '80s:

• https://www.prostamerika.com/2020/03/11/nwsl-signs-broadcast-deal-with-cbs-twitch/238430/

As well as coverage on the Hughes Television Network circa 1979:

• https://www.nytimes.com/1979/03/20/archives/indoor-soccer-losing-money-gaining-confidence-goal-is-to.html

And even ESPN:

• https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-11-14-sp-29411-story.html

And since I had previously mentioned Los Angeles and Wichita:

In their inaugural season, the Lazers games were broadcast on Cable Radio Network. Beginning in the second season, Bill MacDonald asked Buss and Weinstein for permission to broadcast the Lazers home games on KBOB radio in Pasadena. MacDonald's family agreed to purchase the air time, and MacDonald's long running career was launched.^[2] During the 1983–84 season, the Lazers made the first entree into the television arena by broadcasting a few games on the Lakers and Kings KCAL 9 television network. Chick Hearn, the Lakers broadcaster, and Bob Miller, the Kings broadcaster, shared the play-by-play responsibilities. During the 1984–85 season, the Lazers began to broadcast their games on Prime Ticket, which was the regional sports network created by Dr. Jerry Buss for Southern California. This first Lazers broadcast was only the second event to have ever been aired on the Prime Ticket Network. Joel Meyers, a new and upcoming telecaster, joined MacDonald to become the dynamic team that announced every play from then on for the Lazers.^[3]

The Wings would appear nationally on the USA Network, ESPN, and CBS.^[4] Their first local television contract was with KSN-TV (NBC) and announcer Dave Armstrong in 1981-82. KSN would continue to broadcast the Wings through the 1985-86 season. Other announcers included Craig Bolerjack, Mike Kennedy, and Steve Dennis. Former Wing Joe Howarth and Director of Media Relations Steve Shaad, respectively, would serve as the color commentator for several of those seasons. The 1986-87 season saw KAKE-TV (ABC) take over the broadcast. Mark Allan would be their announcer through the 1988-89 season. The Wings would have no television contract thereafter.^[5] KFH Radio (1330 AM) would broadcast the Wings from 1981 through 1986, with first Bruce Haertl and then Jim Hawley announcing. Steve Shaad, Blake Schreck, and Klaus Kollmai served as color commentators on the KFH broadcasts. In 1986, KRZ (1240 AM) took over the radio broadcasting, with Dave Phillips as announcer. As KNSS, they would continue to broadcast the Wings through the 1989-90 season. Phillips would be the voice of the Wings with KZSN (1480 AM) through the 1993 season. Steve Dennis took over KZSN's announcing duties in 1994 and continued through the transition to KFH in 1995-96. Former Wings goalkeeper Kris Peat served as announcer in 1996-97. In 1997, Rob Barzegar and KQAM (1480 AM) became the Wings radio broadcaster.^[5]

I notice Ellie Nesler had been deleted. I found some news articles about her case and would be interested in making another attempt:

• "Ellie Nesler killed son's accused molester in courtroom shooting". Denver Post. 2008-12-29.
• Thurber, John (2008-12-30). "Ellie Nesler dies at 56; woman killed her son's accused molester in courtroom". Los Angeles Times.

My understanding is that it's unusual for a murder case to get that level of a national coverage. Also her crime, that she killed a person who had allegedly victimized her child at a courtroom would be unusual under any stretch of the measure. There was also a television film based on the case: "Judgment Day: The Ellie Nesler Story" WhisperToMe (talk) 16:01, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

• Yes please! I would really appreciate it! WhisperToMe (talk) 18:21, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Is is notable enough for the opening sentence of the lead? I would say it would be more appropriate for the club paragraph, and noting when he became captain. In any case, we shouldn't be using the personal pronoun whom to refer to a football club. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi I’m Jackies niece I have a couple of photos of my late uncle would they be able to be put on wiki Lauram231 (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Why do you revert my changes to links his Le Havre career to the corresponding Ligue 2 seasons in his stats table? But for the youth team and when he is at Quimper, it is linked to the league season pages and not the club season pages. This makes no sense. There is no particular need for those Le Havre seasons to have their own page as it wouldn't be more than a stub. Plus those Ligue 2 seasons are not linked anywhere else in his wikipedia article so it actually is a good thing to link to them there.Rupert1904 (talk) 13:44, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey - I saw your note, thanks for writing back. That is really my point though. Those Le Havre seasons are not really notable just as the Quimper seasons are not notable. People haven't even created articles for many of Lyon's title winning seasons so it seems like these could all be red links forever. Rupert1904 (talk) 14:34, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi GS. I'm confused at your reversions of the above template. The first one, OK, I had removed Julien Lamy who is still contracted until 30th June, and I appreciate that. The second reversion was just of loan players, who have returned to their parent clubs, or returned from clubs they were loaned to at the termination of those seasons. Both your reversions reintroduced factual errors (Barlaser was recalled in March, Hastie in January, Tilt was allocated number 23, Southern-Cooper is now recognised as Cooper, and Gratton has been added to the squad as a pro)

Can you help me understand this please? Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 09:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Apologies, please disregard this. It appears I imagined a second reversion. Sorry. Gricehead (talk) 09:58, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Title: Revered changes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%C3%A1%C5%A1_%C4%8Cern%C3%BD

Hello GiantSnowman, I am Tomas Cerny and I teach at Baylor University, the current Wiki page on my name is misleading since multiple individuals have the same name. I believe I have the right to add there the famous opera single and myself next to a sportsman. Please explain what did I do wrong when adding there a list of 3 people with that same name on the given page.

If you suggest me following this approach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smith e.g. Tomas Cerny (soccer player); Tomas Cerny (opera singer) pages, I can do that and am open to advise on the best practice. Should I create a new page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomas_Cerny_(professor) (or computer scientist)? If so should I then fix the (soccer) page as well?

Here is your message for the reference.

Hi Tom. Do you meet the criteria at WP:NACADEMIC for an article? If so I'll be happy to start one for you. GiantSnowman 10:39, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello GiantSnowman, I believe I do, here a few examples:

• I have 500+ citations to my research articles
  • I have published most of my research towards Aspect-oriented programming based User Interface design

  • Google Scholar with 500+ citations has 90 peer-reviewed research articles and H-index is 14
  • Scopus with 250+ citations has 71 works and h-index 10
  • ResearchGate tracks 100 research items with 650+ citations
• I have an international research project funded by NSF see
• I was conference co-chair of the largest ACM SIGAPP this year ([]) group https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2020/organization.html

• I established and chaired the first Czech Upsilon_Pi_Epsilon chapter
• I opened the Red Hat open sources lab at the Czech Technical University, see
• I chaired Czech ACM SIGAPP chapter 2014-2017
  • no longer listed on ACM but can be seen here

Please let me know if this is sufficient, thank you Tomcerny (talk) 10:58, 25 June 2020 (Central Time)

In a medium-to-high citation field like computer science, this citation record is almost surely not enough for WP:NPROF C1, and I don't see any other WP:NPROF criteria that are likely to be met.

Sorry about the edit I made on stephy Mavididi, the last time I edited the synopsis and I didn’t put some kind of citation I got a warning. And I’m on mobile so i can’t keep editing through the whole article. So I usually try to find two sources (to use in different parts of the article) if I edit the synopsis which I usually don’t. Also, I don’t know how to use the same citation for two places in the same article so that’s why I did what I did. Sorry! Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

You stated explain “integral”, so I removed it, and added the goals that contributed to the title. Not mentioning the league title and his contribution to that is not encyclopaedic. Barton Dave (talk) 21:06, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Mentioned validation for “decisive” on my talk page: see the sources. It’s not saying he was “decisive” to the league title, rather those specific games. I’m not arguing with you as ultimately you were correct in removing what I’d first added (the integral claim had previously been added by someone else). His contributions away from home were particularly notable throughout the season, and did contribute to the title. Barton Dave (talk) 21:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

An IP who claims to be the man himself is repeatedly removing the section covering the confrontation with Mark Stein, objecting to the fact that Stein claimed he attacked Gannon because Gannon racially abused him. No doubt the recent Black Lives Matter protests have drawn attention to it and he's sensitive about it as he is still in management. the Stoke player Mark Stein assaulted an opponent, Jim Gannon, because he had called him 'a short, ugly, black, bean-headed twat'. Stein's reaction was hardly surprising - seems a pretty solid source to me. But I don't know how the source of the article himself complaining about it affects things.--EchetusXe 10:21, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

GS, I know you do a great deal of football related articles. Football/soccer isn't my specialty but I came across Marinaro's article and it had two categories in it, Sportspeople involved in betting scandals and Association football controversies but there is nothing in the article to back them up so I removed them. I did find this old edit where mention of some controversy was removed from article. As the source for the controversy appears to be some forum(The link is dead now) its removal may have been proper. I'm just bringing this to your attention if you might want to fix things up. Should Marinaro been involved in some controversy, and it can be properly referenced, it can go back in the article....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:18, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

I'll certainly admit I don't have any documented evidence that he has a Dutch passport,and I'm not going to argue over the cats. But if we assume he moved to Holland with his dad, or soon after that was around 1980 when he was 2, and Jimmy managed over there until 1999, by which time Scott had started his own career - in Holland, where he continued to play - so although born in England to Scottish parents, his life is almost entirely Dutch. That was my reasoning behind it. Re HotCat, i haven't been able to work out how to do multiple ones and have been too irritated at my ineptitude to work it out, instead ignoring it.

• There is an open request for comment to decide whether to increase the minimum duration a sanction discussion has to remain open (currently 24 hours).
• Speedy deletion criterion T2 (template that misrepresents established policy) has been repealed following a request for comment.
• Speedy deletion criterion X2 (pages created by the content translation tool) has been repealed following a discussion.
• There is a proposal to restrict proposed deletion to confirmed users.

I'm force to edit on my mobile at the moment, and I did include a source (but not in line). So I'm sorry for that, I do usually include sources.

But could you please verify if the edit is legitimate before just reverting?

Also do you have any kind feedback on how to deal with this kind of Situation. Ceres-Negros recently ended all contract with their players on June 1 due to the pandemic and a new management took over and renamed the club as United City FC. which are re-signing most of the players who left.

So basically I suggest to treat the players as free agents unless re-signed.

Also how do we treat players who are eventually re-signed too especially mentions of the old and new name of the club in the article body and the infoboxes? Hariboneagle927 (talk) 11:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Vasilis Dimitriadis article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 10:20, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

-But I did put a source right at the end (https://www.aek-live.gr/o-vasilobilaros-forese-ton-dikefalo/) either you didn't notice either you didn't understand the language I will assume the last. I did translate the most important parts from Greek to English for the article to be improved. I don't see what's the problem there since its all justyfied. In conclusion I expect from you to make my improovements permanent if there isn't further problems. User:BEN917

Hi there, I see you removed the "Continental" column from Christy Manzinga's Career statistics. As the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players shows the use of this column for players who've played in continental/european games, and a format you suggested i should use for career statistic tables, i'd like to know why it's been merged with the "other" column? --Dave logic (talk) 10:33, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi! As we know, there is a consensus to use WP:KARLSRUHER for naming of german-language clubs. But one user started edit war and changing Wolfsberger AC name to Wolfsberg in this single article. I wrote him in edit summaries and his talk page that he should start the discussion on WP:WPF, but he refuses to reach new consensus and keeps reverting my edits. Also he already had discussion about this in December 2019 here and didn't gain any support. Alex (talk) 10:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm not going to get involved in an edit war, and he is right in saying that WP:KARLSRUHER is just an essay. I think we need a RFC at WT:FOOTBALL to get a binding decision. GiantSnowman 10:43, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

It's an essay, noone denies that, but that essay is used for naming of German and Austrian clubs for many years now so that's current consensus. Wolfsberger AC name was used everywhere in English Wikipedia since club got it so that's the consensus. And he just changes name in one single article. There definitely should be consistency. I don't ask you to get involved in edit war, but some help in resolving this would be appreciated. Alex (talk) 10:50, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Peter Gwargis is Assyrian. I'm not sure why you keep adding in the fact that his parents were born in Iraq. There are Assyrians from several middle eastern countries but they are still Assyrian. There are several different ethnic groups in Iraq. There is no Iraqi ethnicity either. He was born in Australia and raised in Sweden. He was not born in Iraq. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolguy2525 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Why do you keep adding in the fact his parents are from Iraq and adding a link to "iraqi descent" players? There is no such thing as Iraqi descent. If he was BORN in Iraq then it would make sense to add it but he was born in Australia and raised in Sweden. He is an Assyrian-Swedish football player. Coolguy2525 (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

There is NO such thing as Iraqi descent. Iraq was a country drawn up by people which had land with several ethnic groups. Arabs, assyrians, kurds, turkment, yezidis. These are ethnic groups. Iraq is a nationality. The source says he's Assyrian and his parents are from Iraq. Of course it will say iraq. There is no Assyria anymore. The page is about Peter not his parents so it should only have information about peter. He doesn't even represent Iraq for football. Anyways I have left the fact that his parents are Iraqi so you stop crying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolguy2525 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey! Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to say that I didn't appreciate the way you said "absolute nonsense" in the edit summary when you changed the word "Continental" to "Other". Not saying I disagree with the change, I agree with it, but you don't have say it like that. This is what I put in every article I create. If it is wrong, there are nicer ways of pointing it out, especially for future editors who might be new to wikipedia. This is just for future. Appreciate the change otherwise. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:27, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, totally understandable! I usually use my template when creating all player articles and I try to change things based on who the player is and where they're from. Changing from continental to other is not something I am used to so happy to note that down for the future. For Indian players who are notable enough for a page, they will generally always been in the I-League or ISL which has a path to the AFC CL or AFC Cup. Anyway though, thank you for explaining. Have a good one! --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

On 19 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Matt Smith (footballer, born 2000), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Arsenal footballer Matt Smith won an FA Cup winners medal without having made his debut for Arsenal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Matt Smith (footballer, born 2000). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Matt Smith (footballer, born 2000)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi! I've been a bit rusty with keeping up-to-date with my similarly Colchester United-centric 'to do' list. I used to peruse your page regularly to see which players you had lined up with articles at the ready, awaiting their professional debuts! I thought I'd just pop by and leave a friendly message for an update to Matt Weaire. I try to avoid creating any pages for players that you've already made a template article for, so I just thought I'd add that Matt Weaire has joined Leiston on loan if you were interested. Keep up the good work!

Continues with the taunting (i used to use the summary they just used there once in a while), at Álvaro González (footballer, born 1990). Sincerely, if you as an English speaker prefer their version, please do re-revert and sorry for the inconvenience.

I apologise for reverting the IP (originally did not intend to do any of that, but it was stronger than me), it will only fuel their hatred i suppose. Do re-revert if you think my action was unwarranted, even though pretty much anyone who comes in contact with this person is applying WP:DENY at this point. --Quite A Character (talk) 00:42, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Hiya, I had him in my sandbox at User:Govvy/Samuel Shashoua I can see that MYS77 copied the code from my user space instead of moving the article out to main space because the first three access dates on the sources are exactly the same. I find that incredibly irksome! Maybe you can have a word. Govvy (talk) 11:53, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy: Had this guy in my Google Drive (where I create and save my drafts) since his signing for Tenerife in 2018. Just because my refs are the same as yours, it doesn't mean that I've copied your work. And maybe you should've put this at Draft:Samuel Shashoua instead of leaving in an user space? How could I know that you had a draft on him? MYS77 ^✉ 14:54, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy: Aside from three refs from the same website, and one sentence that is similar, the rest of the page is completely different than your draft. It's more complete, it has more references and it covers his career in a more complete way than your draft.

I understand that you're annoyed that I didn't move your draft to article space, and I'm sorry about that, but as I said before, you should've left it at Draft:Samuel Shashoua. Plus, I don't think accusing me of copying your work when I'm creating a bunch of articles related to Spanish football in the past few days is the best way to interact here. MYS77 ^✉ 15:09, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

What a load of tosh, highly unlikely you would have the same access dates or even know of the first three cites without looking in my user space. :/ Govvy (talk) 17:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy and MYS77: I have merged the histories. Please both AGF! GiantSnowman 17:28, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: Thanks. @Govvy: prease refrain from accusing me without proof, otherwise I'll consider a personal attack. Thank you, MYS77 ^✉ 17:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@MYS77: The proof is right there! heh, why would the access dates not be the date you created the article, you haven't moved it from anywhere. Why would you work on an article in google?? You go on about having articles in draft space, but if you go and create a new article from scratch it gives you the option (Special:Mypage/newarticle) which effectively creates a new article in your user space. The one I created had a history and I highly doubt you knew what school Samuel went too. Even Crowsus missed that. Don't lie to me and don't COPYVIO other peoples work. It's wrong and out of order. Not to mention you live in Brazil and support Santos FC, so why are you following a player who played for Tottenham to Tenerife??? Talk about way out on left field!! Govvy (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

This is kinda off the subject, but on the school, when I got the archive version up on my phone, it wouldn't load the 'read more' bit so I thought that was a fault with the page, hence the tag, but then when I looked on a PC it expanded fine, so it must have been a fault with the phone, so apologies for the waste of time with the tag. I have to say that when I did get it to load fully, the birthplace and school was right there very clearly in the first paragraph so it would have been pretty easy for anyone looking for it to find and cite it when the original page was still available. As for who did what when, pretty difficult to prove either way. Crowsus (talk) 20:13, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy: I don't need to explain you what I do here, you can tell by looking at my contributions. Your "proof" is nothing but your assumption that I copied your work because you're upset that I didn't move your one-line draft to an article space. You can go there and do some WP:HOUND on my contributions to understand why I've created a player who is playing for Tenerife. This last argument of yours is so weak that I can use the same by saying "why did you create APOEL FC in European football when you live in England and support Spurs"...

Please stop being so whiny about a single article, I also had a draft at User:MYS77/Marc Caballé who was clearly a COPYVIO by User:Adorian and you don't see me complaining about it. As I already said, I'm sorry for not moving your draft I didn't see it, GS already fixed it, I won't bother GS' talk page again. I consider this subject over and you should too. MYS77 ^✉ 03:15, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy: One last thing, I promise: it's way difficult to find that Shashoua attended Harrow School, s-o-o-o-o difficult... MYS77 ^✉ 03:19, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Govvy and MYS77: both of you please stop bickering. I am going to archive this discussion shortly. Work collaboratively, not combatively. 09:59, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Can you please offer a hand in this article please? In the PAOK FC career, someone who is obviously a fan of club displeased with the manager's work (thus, POV of the highest caliber), continues to engage in (other than POV) overlinking like no tomorrow and removes refs/categories previously added, as seen in this diff (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abel_Ferreira&diff=979593737&oldid=979095224). Late in August, this IP (or IPs) was/were engaged in an edit war with another IP, writing words like "miserable" to describe Mr. Ferreira's work in PAOK ("only" a second place is miserable according to the IP); last but not least, they continue to write stuff in the manager's article that belongs either in PAOK's overall article or the seasonal ones (and stuff like "with the referee in the second match wronging PAOK with 2 penalties against him which should not have been given" – with no ref to top it, i add one that covers at least said match and penalties against Ajax, they remove it – is completely unacceptable, is it not?), and at least this one exists!

Could you please protect page? I'll warn you if this continues. Regards, thanks in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 00:55, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I was just wondering about the reason you gave for your edit on Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson. While in his particular case, I think the edit is alright, since he was quick to make his way to the senior team bench, there are multiple cases of Icelandic footballers making a few senior appearances in Iceland at a very young age before going abroad and spending a few years in the youth team of a much bigger team. Would you not classify that as a youth career, just because they made their senior debut at a semi-professional level before going on to the youth team of a professional team? A fitting example is Kolbeinn Sigþórsson, who made 5 appearances in Iceland's 2nd tier in 2006 before transferring to AZ in the Netherlands - where he only made his senior debut in 2010. From 2007-2010 he was a youth player for AZ - is that not part of his youth career? He wasn't in the senior team, so it can't be his senior career.

Hi, I appreciate your concerns regarding my edit on Mark Travers as the only easy way to get that information is through Transfermarkt (which is apparently an unreliable source for some reason) but that information is available on a match by match basis on the Irish FA's website.

For example, here is the link to a match Travers played on 24 April 2017 for Ireland u-18s against Czechia u-18s from the FAI - https://www.fai.ie/ireland/match/55505/2017/999943486.

The issue is that I can't find anything that just outright states the number of apps - you have to go through every individual match report. It's all there, and you will find it all in order if you're willing to search for each individual match. It's just not really productive for me to provide a link to every single match report is all. ~~ Brududesom (talk) 16:27, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

It definitely isn't ideal but unfortunately that's all there is as far as I'm aware. It's still information straight from the horse's mouth and if you read one that says he played, it means he played that match.

The negative implication that he may have played more matches doesn't seem much of a problem as most articles about footballers either need the apps updating or there are apps missing anyway.

I don't feel it prudent to reject an edit on the grounds that you don't trust an editor's diligence and don't want to search through each match report yourself. It's best to just give the benefit of the doubt here as the information is just as accurate as any other time someone has updated international youth apps on a player and any error (if there is one) would only be very minor. It is an edit in good faith after all. Brududesom (talk) 17:01, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Well, I suppose if that's the letter of the law I can't really do anything about it. It's a little frustrating personally but I can appreciate your position here and thank you for you for your time. I suppose we'll just have to hope that the FAI will provide something easily verifiable in the future. Brududesom (talk) 17:11, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) WhiteFalcon1, the argument WP:OTHERSTUFF is considered to be not a good argument for why an article should be kept. That is, the fact West Block Blues exists does nothing to support keeping Majappada Kerala Blasters Fans. "Other stuff exists" is considered a weak argument, not a strong one. —valereee (talk) 10:46, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Closer has not considered the weighted comments amd simply closed the discussion.One of the person AngusWOOF who didn't want to recraete the article almost agreed in recreation. So why did the closer simply did that.WhiteFalcon1 (talk) 13:28, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

WhiteFalcon1, yes, I've read the discussion. Honestly, it looks to me like it could have been closed as either salt article/don't salt draft, or as salt both. There was good advice at DRV to add sources into the team's article, and eventually, once you've found enough sources, splitting it off could be considered. That's the route I'd recommend for now. Not every fan group is notable just because another fan group is. If this is the fan group for the team you consider to be "your" team, you may want very much for it it have an article -- especially if maybe your rival team's fan group has one -- but that simply doesn't matter, not even a little bit. —valereee (talk) 15:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

@valereeeI am arguing this with valid reasons. Please dont say Im against my rival team.I haven't even thought about that.

Iam saying this with valid reasons.It is a fact that manjappada is more notable than west block blues.I can prove you that.Still this discrimination is happening.I just want to avoid that.And please dont bring rivarly into it.It has nothing to do with it.I'm saying this according to other stuff exists

Plenty of articles exist that probably should not. Equally, a lot of articles do not exist that probably should. Therefore, just pointing out that an article on a similar subject exists does not prove that the article in question should also exist;it is quite possible that the other article should also be deleted but nobody has noticed it. WhiteFalcon1 (talk) 16:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

• (talk page stalker)@WhiteFalcon1: Please stop; the idea of an item has been discussed on several occasions and found to be not required. Please follow the advice given by Valereee and expand the existing content until such time as it may be worth a standalone page. Additionally you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of other stuff exists; it means that should an article exist on one topic, that does not justify the existence of other similar articles. It does *not* mean or justify the existence of other articles. Eagleash (talk) 16:49, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

FYI - just wanted to let you know when this script is run on a page with a ref that has an accessdate commented out, like at Arthur Schopenhauer, the script apparently has a bug that moves the end part of the wiki markup <!-- --> to a new location in the text. You can see in this diff where the accessdate 2 September 2012 is commented out, where it happened. The lead had two paragraphs before the script was run, and then after the script was run, it only had one. It also happened on Oct 5 when User:Emir of Wikipedia ran the script on Claude Shannon, as seen in this diff where the accessdate July 13, 2013 is commented out. My guess the reason the accessdate was commented out to begin with is because no URL was provided in the ref. I don't know if the bug can be fixed, but if I was using this script, I'd check my edits after running it. Thanks. Isaidnoway (talk) 14:08, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

I nominated the redirect for deletion. The single-issue IP user (multiple IPs), who has kept trying to get the hateful word added to English Wikipedia, then created an account & changed the page to a totally bogus article about an imaginary town near Stockholm. I reverted that. An experienced user was trolled into reinstating it, giving the new user (troll) account support on their talk page and mine and also closed the deletion request, apparently believing in good faith that the phony article about a bogus suburb was legit. Another experienced user, suspecting trollery, has changed the article to a one-liner. Admin @Seraphimblade: provided a 3O here about adding the term to Stockholm. The troll needs to be stopped asap.

Just a simple question. Why? Mattythewhite (talk) 13:09, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

May I ask you show patience and magnanimity towards contributors to this article like myself by giving them the time of day to finish adding material and sourcing them. I cannot do this as quickly and expertly as more experienced (editor more than 10 years) you are, I work with what I call care and patience copying and pasting between articles so it is a little unnerving (and feels unwelcoming) to have someone quick on the draw either rubbing out additions to the article without giving me time to finish what to me has to be the separate stage of adding references, and criticizing me for leaving unsourced material (rather like saying same kind of thing to a builder who has just put up the walls of a house but not yet got onto putting the roof on) or unexpectedly (to me) adding a reference then moaning in apparent resentment at me about what you did. I have no desire for an edit war with you. I would save this 'shooting on sight' for the likes of trolls and vandals; otherwise I respectfully suggest you do not intervene on first sight but give me time to finish. I now aim to have anything I add that has got a source within reach onto the page on the SAME DAY and in one session. (If you could see me sitting at this laptop when I am at work on article, then I am sure you would understand and see how long I can sit at working on an article, but I am afraid you think I only 'hit and run' - which I am sorry to say I am tempted to do because I feel I am running a gauntlet. At that rate, this is asking for the article to linger on as an incomplete list.) Thank you in advance for some understanding.Cloptonson (talk) 15:02, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you kindly explain your revert of good faith edits rather than just revert to "last good version"? LK (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, i apologize for disturbing you and i didn't think i would be asking for this, but recently there has been this Vietnamese anonymous editor making unneccersary changes on the UAE national team wether it's rewriting the history section or making records section smaller and i don't have time to revert most of his edits. I just wonder if you can block his IP range from making major changes on the national team's article since it's been making it more difficult for regular users to read the article. Again i will apologize if this message bothered you, have a good evening. Badass Flare (talk) 18:41, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

And they continue. I know no action will be taken (not even page protection?), but at least i brief you.

• AGAIN! I notify you not to be on your case constantly, but to see if the consistent actions of this person will eventually lead to some protection or akin.

Attentively, sorry for any (possible) inconvenience (i now noticed you directed me to WP:AIV in your last reply, will be sure to have a go there next time this happens, it will) --Quite A Character (talk) 00:32, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

• I see, thanks. --Quite A Character (talk) 19:14, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
