Hi Mariner2222! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there! 78.26 ( I'm a Teahouse host) This message was delivered automatically by your robot friend, HostBot ( talk) 17:23, 11 April 2015 (UTC) |
Hello, I'm
Binksternet. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a
neutral point of view. Your recent edit to
Pamela Geller seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hi, I noticed you changed the intros to several articles to change "soccer" to "football (soccer)". Please keep in mind that we generally stick to the local variation of English, and in North America, "football" refers to the local variation of the sport and "soccer" is used to refer to the association style of football. Please see WP:ENGVAR. Thanks. Mosmof ( talk) 12:05, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Please stop continuing to edit articles without reaching consensus on WT:FOOTY. Please don't make it necessary to go to WP:ANI. Mosmof ( talk) 12:54, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
I have not read all that is on this talk page, but I was coming here to discuss this very subject. WP:COMMONNAME is the reason why North Amercian and I believe Australian and other regional variants of English call the sport "soccer" while other variants call it "football". The reasons are outlined at the association football article as well. Inserting your own preference is not appropriate. Depending on the crowd and my mood, I will call the sport here "football" but I immediately qualify it so that the audience understands that I am not referring to one of the gridiron sports that carry that name here in Canada. However, avoiding the whole thing is simpler which is why "soccer" is used. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 04:58, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Julie Johnston. Your edits appear to constitute
vandalism and have been
reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. Repeated
vandalism can result in the
loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please stop your
disruptive editing. If you continue to
vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at
Alex Morgan, you may be
blocked from editing.

Your recent editing history at Julie Johnston shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. JohnInDC ( talk) 13:08, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Mariner, you are hereby formally warned that you are engaged in an "edit war" per WP:EDITWAR, and that you may be blocked from further editing without further warning per WP:3RR and WP:EDITWAR. You are also editing against long-established WP:CONSENSUS that recognizes that "soccer" is the most commonly used term for association football in Australia, Canada and the United States. You need to listen to what your fellow editors are telling you at the WP:FOOTY talk page. If you continue to make these changes, contrary to consensus practice on Wikipedia, you are going to be blocked in short order. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 13:11, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
i refuse the consensus since i didn't remove soccer. Mariner2222 ( talk) 13:13, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Please stop reinserting your preferred version of the use of football or soccer into numerous articles while a discussion is in full swing at WT:FOOTBALL. Thanks. The Rambling Man ( talk) 16:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Also, keep in mind that the standard for naming on Wikipedia is WP:COMMONNAME, not the formal name. Because "soccer" is the commonly used term in countries where other codes of football are more prominent, soccer is the widely used term. So we say "soccer" for the same reason we say " Abby Wambach", her commonly used name, not "Mary Abigail Wambach", her formal name.
And I'm not sure there's any merit to the idea that the Britishism "soccer" is somehow confusing. UK listeners certainly don't find "Soccer Saturday" confusing. Even if they were, they could simply click on the wiki link to find out what strange sorcery this "soccer" business is. If they're still confused, then there's not much we can reasonably do to rescue willfully clueless readers. Mosmof ( talk) 18:44, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
