Hello, I'm
Wikipelli. 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
Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 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 there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Jack Ball (footballer, born 1900) 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. Giant Snowman 17:52, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Spare Koppers! Your additions to
Fred Wheldon have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the
public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.
The additions you made to the Fred Wheldon article are pretty well copy-pasted from the biographical details at his page on Vintage Footballers. Apart from we're not allowed to copy-paste or closely paraphrase content off our sources for reasons outlined above, that particular site does exactly that. You'll notice that the cricket content on that page was copied from the Wikipedia article: the content was added here in 2005, and the Vintage Footballers site wasn't set up until 2014. Next time you try to improve an article here, please do it in your own words and add references to the sources you used to the article. Thank you. Struway2 ( talk) 09:45, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Great job on this article. The only thing I can see outstanding is a footballer and cricketers infobox which would make it much easier to quickly see his clubs and key career/life dates. Mountaincirque talk 09:58, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
When I checked the line with 268 goals in 381 appearances in total, a club record the source given shows 1 - Jimmy Greaves - 1961-70 - 266 goals in 379 appearances. So I fixed the references and Wikipedia shouldn't make the claim. Put both and the reader can decide. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 08:50, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
