I explained it on the DRV page. Herostratus (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

OK, look, it's easy. The expression !vote, with the exclamation mark, means "not" vote (the exclamation mark standing for "not") and those are NOTAVOTEs because Voting is evil. The expressions Keep and Delete are opinions, not votes, and are generally discarded if they have no basic reasoning behind them, that is, without some explanation or rationale to convince the admin why it should be kept or deleted. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 17:56, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

It may be called a "not" vote, or favouring or supporting, or notavote or any other invented word, the real effect was that Herostratus's comment was treated as supporting deletion despite his expressly stating "Keep". More generally, a poll brings about a transparent conclusion to a debate. Whether the debate was well-informed or ill-informed is another matter altogether. To replace a poll with subjective assessment by one or a few of the qualitative debate is a step towards tyranny and dictatorship. I'm not saying a poll is the best way to decide the deletion of an article, but it is a suitable tool for many purposes. Rainjar (talk) 08:37, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I have created a page for the United League (football), written in my own words.

This is the third page I have created, the previous ones being the Retain and transfer system and Sheffield United Cricket Club.

Hello, I'm Dafootballguy. I noticed that you recently removed content from National Football Academy (Singapore) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at National Football Academy (Singapore), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at National Football Academy (Singapore), you may be blocked from editing.

I added reasons the second time and elaborated the third time, but it appears the reasons were not good enough. I have now I have proposed a split instead. Rainjar (talk) 10:02, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

Are you using LLM for your content? The broken formatting and references, among other issues, are hallmarks of them. Aleain (talk) 12:03, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

No, I am typing it all out by hand, while researching online. I save regularly to avoid losing content. These were my additions under "Fans" subheader, which I see you have summarised:

While football is a popular sport in Singapore, most Singaporeans do not support the national team or a local club.^[1]

Singaporeans tend to support European football^[2], especially top English clubs such as Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC.^[3]

As reported by ChannelNewsAsia in 2020 about Singaporean support for English clubs^[4]:

".., a study has found that about half of all Singaporean football fans are still supporting the team that were successful during their childhood.

One in three said that they support a team because they liked their jersey, or kit.

The survey also found that family members play an influential role in shaping a football fan’s loyalty to a particular club, with three in 10 adopting the club that their family members, particularly fathers, supported.

And a vast majority of football fans said that they would try to persuade their children to support the same team."

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Mat Noh 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 09:14, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.
