Hi, I'm confused by your recent edit to William Bronston which changed the date format in the references only. Consistency is only required in the body of the article and I don't believe it's helpful to change the date format for the references away from YYYY-MM-DD without any real reason. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 19:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
tables, infoboxes, [and] referencesso that's a moot point. No part of the guidelines discourages the use of YYYY-MM-DD dates in the reference section and I disagree with your assertion that YYYY-MM-DD is somehow more difficult to read.
Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific [date] style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike.and that
...it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved.~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 22:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi GiantSnowman,
The ARCA you filed has been resolved by motion as follows:
Remedy 1.2 of the GiantSnowman case ("GiantSnowman admonished and placed under review") is amended to read as follows:
1.2) GiantSnowman is admonished for overuse of the rollback and blocking functions, and reminded to "lead by example" and "strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy"; to "respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Wikipedia-related conduct and administrative actions and to justify them when needed"; to not use admin tools in "cases in which they have been involved" including "conflicts with an editor" and "disputes on topics"; to "treat newcomers with kindness and patience"; and to apply these principles in all interactions with all editors.
With the exception of obvious vandalism or obvious violations of the policy on biographies of living persons:
- GiantSnowman is prohibited from reverting another editor's contribution without providing an explanation in the edit summary. Default edit summaries provided by MediaWiki or user scripts are not sufficient for the purpose of this restriction. For the avoidance of doubt, use of MediaWiki rollback with an edit summary via a user script such as this one, or via massRollback.js, is permitted.
- GiantSnowman is prohibited from blocking an editor who has not been recently warned for the conduct in question. For the purposes of this restriction, "recently" is assumed to be within 7 days.
Violations may be reported by any editor to the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard. GiantSnowman may appeal these restrictions directly to the Arbitration Committee at any time.
For the Arbitration Committee, firefly ( t · c ) 19:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello GiantSnowman. On
Ethan Mbappé-- I won't change your revert, because it's true that Ethan Mbappé hasn't yet played a match for the youth team in 2024. But when he does, his youth career must be reopened. I understand you may disagree, but for me, the youth career continues until he has played his final youth game. That's how it should be. Just like we don't close the "reserve" career before a player plays his final reserve game. A player can be both a youth player and senior player at the same time, just like a player can be both a reserve and senior player at the same time. Hell, a player could be all three at the same time.
So for now, it's fine. But when (most likely) he goes back to starting and playing with the U19s, I will go back and open his youth career.

A tag has been placed on List of association football players who died during their careers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of association footballers who died during their careers. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hey, I was wondering about the edit you reverted in Jasin Assehnoun article. He is half Finnish and half Moroccan, considered to be Finnish and Moroccan 50/50 "equally", so why those categories don't apply? Syvä-äksy ( talk) 19:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I’ve no intention of reverting you (I have far too much respect for your experience) but can you explain why you consider that Soccerway is a better source than Soccerbase.

Already logged off and now am going to bed, but before i do so this: I see you have already warned this "user" ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:UltramanZeroAwokkkk#February_2023), have a look at what they did at Natxo Insa; following a (supposedly) bad performance for Malaysia, this "person" went on a rampage of despicable insults towards the player.
Vandalism was so much and of so much "quality" the patrollers forgot to fix vandalism in the subject's full name, i took care of that even though i know i'll be accused of vandalism in edit summary notes in spite of doing the exact opposite :(

@ GiantSnowman, as per Wikipedia:Do not bite the newcomers, to avoid being a "biter" to newcomers, rather than deleting in the form of reverting an incorrect edit from someone inexperienced, you should attempt to rectify any errors. In my opinion you didn't follow this guideline when you reverted my edit on Connor Parsons and then rather bluntly threatened me with a ban on my talk page and I don't feel this is fair. I understand you're infinitely more experienced on matters such as these so correct me (nicely this time..?) if I have made any errors in my reasoning but due to my edits being mostly spelling corrections on low-traction pages, I am - to any significant contributions on the site - a newcomer and thus should likely be treated as described on the guideline previously linked. Please get back to me on this :)

The article Charles Wood (footballer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There is already a disambig for Charles Wood, there seem to be no pages linking to "Charles Wood (footballer)", and the page to which this currently directs - Charlie Wood (footballer) - seems to be for someone to whom literally nobody ever refers as Charles Wood, so there is no risk of wrongful searching. If this is not a disambig category I do not see why there needs to be a redirect to a footballer who has never played in the top 120 clubs in England, especially as other Charles Woods are far more prominent.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
Am proposing a deletion of Charles Wood (footballer) - it seems to be a redirect of no use, and redirects to the less prominent Charles Wood (footballer).

Please see this ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Carlos_Fortes_(footballer,_born_1994)&diff=prev&oldid=1202798598). Transfer added without a source, i reverted citing precisely that reason, was immediately reverted, AGAIN with no source! I profit from the occasion to comment that i see you have already warned this user.
Speaking of "user", due to their main interest (Indonesian football, following a quick glance at the history of contributions) i'm almost 100% sure this is a sock of User:Dwinug.
P.S. I have already reverted again in Mr. Fortes, would not be the least surprised if the other person had done the same to me. Attentively RevampedEditor ( talk) 16:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, GinatSnowman. I noticed you were using a script to standardize dates in the Month day, Year format, which is great. However, you have left your script with the option turned on to also do that within citations. May I suggest turning it off? MOS:NUM subentry MOS:DATE specifically calls out citations as having different rules. That references WP:CITESTYLE, which specifically allows the other formats, but recommends consistency within an article.
The article where I noticed your efforts already was already consistent in date citations, using YYYY-MM-DD style, which is also the style that the automatic citation maker uses. The latter is probably going to make that format de facto standard over time, and using the script to make the changes is likely to lead to inconsistencies (as other edtors add automated citations). In any event, please consider turning off the citation change option in the script, and continuing to use it in article text. Dovid ( talk) 20:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you had a query about The Combination and notability, in particular with FA Cup entries, and it was pointed out Stafford County never entered; I've done a short page about them (they don't really need any more, frankly) and it seems to have been a deliberate decision NOT to enter the competition, being a sort of Stoke-based Corinthian. Although curiously they joined The Combination, seemingly apropos of nothing. Maybe they couldn't get fixtures any other way. But it does support the clubs in that particular emanation of The Combination as being "notable" as every other club had a tilt at the Cup. In Vitrio ( talk) 23:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey GS, do these edits look familiar to you? I'm a bit suspicious of their newness, so to speak, but I'm also interested in moving Draft:Suriname Major League 2024 out of draft space--it's a pretty big thing for a small country. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 15:13, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi GS. I realise that non-constructive editing can be really frustrating for veteran editors. But in my experience, for achieving the desired result – better editing – educating other editors is more effective than shaming them ( [2], [3]). Robby.is.on ( talk) 18:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I was checking the page history of Viktor Gyökeres just now and seen this edit. I then checked User talk:2A0B:6204:1B05:CD00:222D:9ACD:90C1:7923 and seen you've twinkled a warning, which I am confident that has gone to the wrong page.

Hi, just as a further to your earlier edit, I am aware that professional football contracts finish on 30th June. However, these are not professional contracts, as Wealdstone are only a semi-professional club. The official statement put out by the club states that these players have been released, as opposed to saying "leaving at the end of contract" or similar: https://www.wealdstone-fc.com/post/retained-list-2024
I think that with this statement, it is fair to assume that the players have left the club, rather than that they are imminently leaving. As such, I have re-edited Corie Andrews to reflect this. Please let me know if there are any issues surrounding this Wld85 ( talk) 15:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, GiantSnowman (or can I call you "Snow"?),
Category redirects are created differently than article redirects. Most editors aren't aware of this because they have no reason to ever create one. But since you did, I thought I'd just point out the difference you can see in the code/template used when you look at the code on the page.

Ive been watching old episodes of Married at First Sight and came here to read up about the couples and doctors. I was suprised to see the Logan Levkoff doesn't have her own article here. I researched her and prepared the content and references for it. I started the process to make it when I saw that many tried and failed at creating Logan Levkoff between 2007-2013. 11 years later, I believe she more than satisfies WP:GNG and I'd like to make the page. You protected the page in February 2013 from being created which is why I'm here. I kindly request that you unprotect it so I can have a crack at making it. Thank you.

Youth honours (something that is deemed irrelevant no, at least in clubs?) continue to be added to this player's page, and now also something called "Debrecen İmprovement Organization"Award" (what the hell?!). BOTH continue to be added without a source, and i feel (given the GLARING similarity in editorial style) that both accounts shown in edit summaries (Alxannnn and Elnurrrrr) are the same person.

I don't mean to be a pedant on this section you've removed from British Asians in association football, but based on the fact that Masood was an immigrant from Pakistan in 1956, he would have been a British colonial subject. You can read more about it here: British_subject#1949_to_1982. So frankly, the fact that he was in Britain and played for Bradford for that season, shows that he was a 'British Asian' in as far as you could be at that time. So I'd argue that he shouldn't be excluded form the article, but maybe needs a line to justify that he was a British subject. Mountaincirque talk 13:52, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:

I see you have already had the "pleasure" of "talking" with this user (here /info/en/?search=User:LightingMan01). With no success of course, the minute/second messages arrive at their talkpage they remove them without an inch of a reply.
Much more serious this: yes, i know clubs should be piped but i prefer them (in wording, not in box or intro) unpiped, that's an aesthetical approach more than anything wouldn't you agree? Look at what this user did to an anon edit by me at Sergio Postigo (again, it's also not vandalism when i edit anonymously even having an account), they reinstated the piped clubs (OK, a correct action per WP guidelines) but REMOVED my storyline additions, REFERENCE included (see this https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sergio_Postigo&diff=next&oldid=1229228832), then wrote "reverting vandalism" in their summary!! Highly disruptive and false in my book; i do profit from the chance to notify you that, whenever this person edits a page and pipes the clubs, which is the ONLY thing they do here, pipe clubs, i never unpipe them back - as i just did in Mr. Postigo, i only reinstated my sourced wording.

You don't seem to know the difference between vandalism and a mistake. But there was no mistake in my edit, and your threats don't impress me, so forget about them.

Many thanks for getting in touch. I am very sorry that you felt the need to do anything. I searched the drafts and nothing came up. I do not know how to search all individual sandboxes if you know of a way to do that I would be grateful. With regards the footballer in question he made his debut for Rochdale in the English Football League whilst they were in League Two. Independent of that, there were more than enough sources available to satisfy WP:GNG, that is significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. However, you seem to have deleted all of them now from the draft available. Not to worry, doesn’t matter in the bigger picture of things. Best wishes.

Hi, I'm confused by your recent edit to William Bronston which changed the date format in the references only. Consistency is only required in the body of the article and I don't believe it's helpful to change the date format for the references away from YYYY-MM-DD without any real reason. ~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 19:14, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
tables, infoboxes, [and] referencesso that's a moot point. No part of the guidelines discourages the use of YYYY-MM-DD dates in the reference section and I disagree with your assertion that YYYY-MM-DD is somehow more difficult to read.
Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific [date] style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike.and that
...it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved.~ F4U ( talk • they/it) 22:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi GiantSnowman,
The ARCA you filed has been resolved by motion as follows:
Remedy 1.2 of the GiantSnowman case ("GiantSnowman admonished and placed under review") is amended to read as follows:
1.2) GiantSnowman is admonished for overuse of the rollback and blocking functions, and reminded to "lead by example" and "strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy"; to "respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Wikipedia-related conduct and administrative actions and to justify them when needed"; to not use admin tools in "cases in which they have been involved" including "conflicts with an editor" and "disputes on topics"; to "treat newcomers with kindness and patience"; and to apply these principles in all interactions with all editors.
With the exception of obvious vandalism or obvious violations of the policy on biographies of living persons:
- GiantSnowman is prohibited from reverting another editor's contribution without providing an explanation in the edit summary. Default edit summaries provided by MediaWiki or user scripts are not sufficient for the purpose of this restriction. For the avoidance of doubt, use of MediaWiki rollback with an edit summary via a user script such as this one, or via massRollback.js, is permitted.
- GiantSnowman is prohibited from blocking an editor who has not been recently warned for the conduct in question. For the purposes of this restriction, "recently" is assumed to be within 7 days.
Violations may be reported by any editor to the Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard. GiantSnowman may appeal these restrictions directly to the Arbitration Committee at any time.
For the Arbitration Committee, firefly ( t · c ) 19:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello GiantSnowman. On
Ethan Mbappé-- I won't change your revert, because it's true that Ethan Mbappé hasn't yet played a match for the youth team in 2024. But when he does, his youth career must be reopened. I understand you may disagree, but for me, the youth career continues until he has played his final youth game. That's how it should be. Just like we don't close the "reserve" career before a player plays his final reserve game. A player can be both a youth player and senior player at the same time, just like a player can be both a reserve and senior player at the same time. Hell, a player could be all three at the same time.
So for now, it's fine. But when (most likely) he goes back to starting and playing with the U19s, I will go back and open his youth career.

A tag has been placed on List of association football players who died during their careers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of association footballers who died during their careers. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hey, I was wondering about the edit you reverted in Jasin Assehnoun article. He is half Finnish and half Moroccan, considered to be Finnish and Moroccan 50/50 "equally", so why those categories don't apply? Syvä-äksy ( talk) 19:02, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I’ve no intention of reverting you (I have far too much respect for your experience) but can you explain why you consider that Soccerway is a better source than Soccerbase. I find Soccerway very difficult to interpret, with far too many (unexplained) symbols. I’d be interested in your explanation. Daemonickangaroo2018 ( talk) 19:08, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Already logged off and now am going to bed, but before i do so this: I see you have already warned this "user" ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:UltramanZeroAwokkkk#February_2023), have a look at what they did at Natxo Insa; following a (supposedly) bad performance for Malaysia, this "person" went on a rampage of despicable insults towards the player.
Vandalism was so much and of so much "quality" the patrollers forgot to fix vandalism in the subject's full name, i took care of that even though i know i'll be accused of vandalism in edit summary notes in spite of doing the exact opposite :(

@ GiantSnowman, as per Wikipedia:Do not bite the newcomers, to avoid being a "biter" to newcomers, rather than deleting in the form of reverting an incorrect edit from someone inexperienced, you should attempt to rectify any errors. In my opinion you didn't follow this guideline when you reverted my edit on Connor Parsons and then rather bluntly threatened me with a ban on my talk page and I don't feel this is fair. I understand you're infinitely more experienced on matters such as these so correct me (nicely this time..?) if I have made any errors in my reasoning but due to my edits being mostly spelling corrections on low-traction pages, I am - to any significant contributions on the site - a newcomer and thus should likely be treated as described on the guideline previously linked. Please get back to me on this :)

The article Charles Wood (footballer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There is already a disambig for Charles Wood, there seem to be no pages linking to "Charles Wood (footballer)", and the page to which this currently directs - Charlie Wood (footballer) - seems to be for someone to whom literally nobody ever refers as Charles Wood, so there is no risk of wrongful searching. If this is not a disambig category I do not see why there needs to be a redirect to a footballer who has never played in the top 120 clubs in England, especially as other Charles Woods are far more prominent.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
Am proposing a deletion of Charles Wood (footballer) - it seems to be a redirect of no use, and redirects to the less prominent Charles Wood (footballer).

Please see this ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Carlos_Fortes_(footballer,_born_1994)&diff=prev&oldid=1202798598). Transfer added without a source, i reverted citing precisely that reason, was immediately reverted, AGAIN with no source! I profit from the occasion to comment that i see you have already warned this user.
Speaking of "user", due to their main interest (Indonesian football, following a quick glance at the history of contributions) i'm almost 100% sure this is a sock of User:Dwinug.
P.S. I have already reverted again in Mr. Fortes, would not be the least surprised if the other person had done the same to me. Attentively RevampedEditor ( talk) 16:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, GinatSnowman. I noticed you were using a script to standardize dates in the Month day, Year format, which is great. However, you have left your script with the option turned on to also do that within citations. May I suggest turning it off? MOS:NUM subentry MOS:DATE specifically calls out citations as having different rules. That references WP:CITESTYLE, which specifically allows the other formats, but recommends consistency within an article.
The article where I noticed your efforts already was already consistent in date citations, using YYYY-MM-DD style, which is also the style that the automatic citation maker uses. The latter is probably going to make that format de facto standard over time, and using the script to make the changes is likely to lead to inconsistencies (as other edtors add automated citations). In any event, please consider turning off the citation change option in the script, and continuing to use it in article text. Dovid ( talk) 20:39, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you had a query about The Combination and notability, in particular with FA Cup entries, and it was pointed out Stafford County never entered; I've done a short page about them (they don't really need any more, frankly) and it seems to have been a deliberate decision NOT to enter the competition, being a sort of Stoke-based Corinthian. Although curiously they joined The Combination, seemingly apropos of nothing. Maybe they couldn't get fixtures any other way. But it does support the clubs in that particular emanation of The Combination as being "notable" as every other club had a tilt at the Cup. In Vitrio ( talk) 23:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

The official statement put out by the club states that these players have been released, as opposed to saying "leaving at the end of contract" or similar: https://www.wealdstone-fc.com/post/retained-list-2024
I think that with this statement, it is fair to assume that the players have left the club, rather than that they are imminently leaving. As such, I have re-edited Corie Andrews to reflect this. Please let me know if there are any issues surrounding this Wld85 ( talk) 15:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, GiantSnowman (or can I call you "Snow"?),
Category redirects are created differently than article redirects. Most editors aren't aware of this because they have no reason to ever create one. But since you did, I thought I'd just point out the difference you can see in the code/template used when you look at the code on the page.
I hope you are having an awesome weekend. See you in the AFD trenches. Liz Read! Talk! 22:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Ive been watching old episodes of Married at First Sight and came here to read up about the couples and doctors. I was suprised to see the Logan Levkoff doesn't have her own article here. I researched her and prepared the content and references for it. I started the process to make it when I saw that many tried and failed at creating Logan Levkoff between 2007-2013. 11 years later, I believe she more than satisfies WP:GNG and I'd like to make the page. You protected the page in February 2013 from being created which is why I'm here. I kindly request that you unprotect it so I can have a crack at making it. Thank you.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 02:50, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Youth honours (something that is deemed irrelevant no, at least in clubs?) continue to be added to this player's page, and now also something called "Debrecen İmprovement Organization"Award" (what the hell?!). BOTH continue to be added without a source, and i feel (given the GLARING similarity in editorial style) that both accounts shown in edit summaries (Alxannnn and Elnurrrrr) are the same person. See this "charmer" in Simon Kjær for instance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Simon_Kj%C3%A6r&diff=prev&oldid=1224259601)...
I had to revert them manually, would very much like to have the rollback feature back, but it's just not happening. Attentively, enjoy your break! RevampedEditor ( talk) 11:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello Could you please update Aaron Nemane from Notts county as his stats are out of date?
many thanks 86.6.177.2 ( talk) 14:00, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello GS. Just wondering -- what's your opinion on including honours of being runner-up in a league competition that has a final match? Examples include MLS Cup, Division 1 Féminine and Championnat National U19. I'm asking because I'm debating whether including honours like the one in Ethan Mbappé#Honours is relevant or not. Thanks for your input! Paul Vaurie ( talk) 22:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

What are you talking about? He did win the Championship?
All you've changed is removing this line: "Kaltak was part of the Mariners' Championship, Premiership and AFC Cup winning 2023-24 season."
What are actually on about? What have I vandalised? He literally was, and it's referenced. Beyond ridiculous. Go fix it back yourself. Matt jobe watson ( talk) 09:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
I don't mean to be a pedant on this section you've removed from British Asians in association football, but based on the fact that Masood was an immigrant from Pakistan in 1956, he would have been a British colonial subject. You can read more about it here: British_subject#1949_to_1982. So frankly, the fact that he was in Britain and played for Bradford for that season, shows that he was a 'British Asian' in as far as you could be at that time. So I'd argue that he shouldn't be excluded form the article, but maybe needs a line to justify that he was a British subject. Mountaincirque talk 13:52, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi GiantSnowman. Thank you for your work on Tommy Frenck. Another editor, Clearfrienda, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Not sure this meets WP:BASIC. All independent in-depth coverage is WP:MILL election coverage. Simply being a candidate doesn't guarantee notability ( WP:NPOL). Articles similar to this this usually don't survive AfD.

I see you have already had the "pleasure" of "talking" with this user (here /info/en/?search=User:LightingMan01). With no success of course, the minute/second messages arrive at their talkpage they remove them without an inch of a reply.
Much more serious this: yes, i know clubs should be piped but i prefer them (in wording, not in box or intro) unpiped, that's an aesthetical approach more than anything wouldn't you agree? Look at what this user did to an anon edit by me at Sergio Postigo (again, it's also not vandalism when i edit anonymously even having an account), they reinstated the piped clubs (OK, a correct action per WP guidelines) but REMOVED my storyline additions, REFERENCE included (see this https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Sergio_Postigo&diff=next&oldid=1229228832), then wrote "reverting vandalism" in their summary!! Highly disruptive and false in my book; i do profit from the chance to notify you that, whenever this person edits a page and pipes the clubs, which is the ONLY thing they do here, pipe clubs, i never unpipe them back - as i just did in Mr. Postigo, i only reinstated my sourced wording.
Attentively, enjoy the rest of your weekend RevampedEditor ( talk) 15:39, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

RETAIN does not apply when the initial date format is simply wrong. Lasker was German and they use DMY, so MDY is wring. Steinitz is less clear and I'm content to remain MDY for him. GiantSnowman 07:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
You don't seem to know the difference between vandalism and a mistake. But there was no mistake in my edit, and your threats don't impress me, so forget about them. Unofficial matches also count, in case you didn't know, so 22+10=32, and 8+11=19. Fix it yourself and stop vandalizing. You're no smarter than me, believe me. Proof of your mistake: https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/24995/Billy_Forbes.html Wolfgang ( talk) 18:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
If Forbes has 22 games and 10 goals, why is there a mistake here? 32 apps and 19 goals? Vandalism too? You're a ridiculous. Wolfgang ( talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Many thanks for getting in touch. I am very sorry that you felt the need to do anything. I searched the drafts and nothing came up. I do not know how to search all individual sandboxes if you know of a way to do that I would be grateful. With regards the footballer in question he made his debut for Rochdale in the English Football League whilst they were in League Two. Independent of that, there were more than enough sources available to satisfy WP:GNG, that is significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. However, you seem to have deleted all of them now from the draft available. Not to worry, doesn’t matter in the bigger picture of things. Best wishes. G Hildreth gazzard ( talk) 18:59, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
This is getting out of hand, really. Last time i checked, we are not supposed to insert PLAYOFF stats in the infobox, because that's what the chart below is for (also with the cup apps and other stuff).

Thanks for correction. Now correct Robert Lewandowski according to NFT https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/27416/Robert_Lewandowski.html. But you won't do it, because you don't have the courage for that, because that would be vandalism. That's why you are inconsistent. Wolfgang ( talk) 17:09, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
The way you have constantly sabotaged my edit is borderline racism. If you revert my edit again I'll have to consider calling the police.
I added useful information and valid references to the page and made it much clearer and more organized, who are you to decide 'there's no benefit' to my edit? STOP sabotaging my edit right now!! Or I'll do whatever I can to fight you on this!!! You have a little tiny bit of power and the way you abuse them is just truly disgusting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peilin99 ( talk • contribs)
