Not sure. But it was the way the whole time, so you may want to start a discussion at the Footy project if you feel it should be changed. Kante4 (talk) 15:47, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
I was interested in your thoughts about the use on premierleague.com height data on articles, I started a conversation on the footy project. Govvy (talk) 13:33, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the barnstar, it's much appreciated. You do a fine job of maintaining football articles yourself. Kosack (talk) 20:27, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
... for the appreciation. At the moment, updating the appearances is rather more fun than watching the players make them...
Thing you probably weren't aware of, club logos are copyright so we can't use them anywhere apart from on the club articles. So I'll change the logo on your message to a different BCFC-related image, if that's OK, one that's free to use and that brings back better memories. Thanks again, Struway2 (talk) 11:33, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Re: this edit. Can you let me know what is an "accessible source" and where this is specified in Wikipedia? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 20:56, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
@Jameboy: - yes, accessible sources (that's what I called in the edit summary) are ones found from websites, the one you gave was some Match of the Day episode on 4 November 2017. I don't know the policy on citing episodes. The reference you gave appeared to link to the Match of the Day wikipage. I'll find some detailed history on Huddersfield and if I find some, it will be re-added. One thing you've did do correctly was that the reference policy does not include Wikipedia as a source and removed it with helpful explanation. Iggy (talk) 23:29, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for spotting and correcting my typo! 78.147.171.154 (talk) 11:31, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
I'm surprised you didn't notice all the big red Cite errors in the references section when you previewed your edits: please see e.g. George Boyd (footballer) refs ##41, 78, 118, 123, 145 and 190 for what I mean. I'm guessing you're going to go back and fix those errors that haven't already been fixed by other people or by AnomieBot? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi there IGGY, a belated thanks for the happy new year wishes (even though i marked your edit with a "thanks" note),
a polite question, seeing you have been doing that in a few articles: does the wikilinking of publishers/newspapers/other in refs constitute overlinking even if it's done only ONCE? Also, seeing what i saw in Carlos Carvalhal, why some are OK to link and others not?
Man, WP does have some weird technicalities (assuming this is indeed another and not your personal editing style), can't get used to most of them even after 11 years... Cheers, continue the good work --Quite A Character (talk) 19:37, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
If you don't mind (and i hope you did not take offence to the "what gives", it was a minor outburst as can be), question still not answered. Still taking Mr. Carvalhal as an example, why is Correio da Manhã or The Independent relevant and BBC Sport and The Daily Telegraph not?
Attentively --Quite A Character (talk) 21:16, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
I can write my reply here, since now you are the one having doubts :) As far as i'm concerned, several users pipe ALL clubs in box and storyline. Me, for aesthetic reasons, choose to leave them in full in storyline and, 99,99999999999999999% of the time, encounter no "resistance" whatsoever while doing so.
On a related note, I'll leave you with this situation: there is this article called CD Numancia. "Numancia" is not the name of any city, it being the old Roman name for the city of Soria. Thus, if the article is named with the "CD", why are we forbidden to display it in full in storyline (just remembered now, same goes for CA Osasuna, from the city of Pamplona).
Regards, enjoy the rest of your Saturday --Quite A Character (talk) 21:38, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
And so, you go to Jefferson Montero's page again and pipe ONLY Getafe. Fair enough (i have already helped out and provided a coherent display - not that i agree with it, but still)... --Quite A Character (talk) 22:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi there. You should show @Quite A Character: how you make your script-assisted reference fixes, he loves fixing references. ;-) Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 20:25, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Please remove the information you updated regarding Mark Sampson.
Thanks
Hi Iggy.
I have a big suspicion that the user Rr126 is a sockpuppet of banned user Efc1878. Same posting pattern across a multitude of Everton FC-related articles. What do you reckon?
Cheers. 92.251.178.119 (talk) 23:23, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
|club-update=
and |nationalteam-update=
to the current date/time. There's nothing wrong with that. I do that, with articles I regularly edit, and so do plenty of others. The anon is insisting that |nationalteam-update=
must remain how it was back when the original edit-war got both parties blocked, and must never change until and unless Mr Coleman makes another international appearance. You'll see from the template documentation that the parameter should show "A timestamp at which the player's infobox national team statistics are correct", and not "the first timestamp added after the player last played an international match". cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)TWO things: 1 - yes, User:Struway2, 100% correct to have that editing pattern per guidelines it seems (update both parameters even though player has not appeared for NT in ages, I don't see the point in that but the guidelines state differently). However, I think I read somewhere (and I also think User:Mattythewhite concurred when I discussed that topic with him) that it's not wrong to leave the NT field blank if player is not appearing for country (pretty much like the timeframe(s), we can remove dash and reinstate it if/when a player returns), am I more or less correct in this assumption?
2 - yes Iggy, 99,999999999999999999999999999999999% correct it's a sock of the account, the editing pattern (for lack of a better wording, "type of pages edited" would be better) is glaringly similar.
Attentively, happy weekend --Quite A Character (talk) 12:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
"Interesting" (or not...), just visited their talkpage for reasons that elude me, only to find out they did reply me after nearly one month after my original message (and you as well) and with insults for (some of) our actions regarding these latest developments (as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rr126&diff=823670735&oldid=823670647). I left them another message, thus (not hoping for much, but still). I see no point in having a NT update in the infobox for a player that: 1 - is OVER playing youth football due to age; 2 - has NEVER appeared (not as much as a single callup) for the A team of his country, do you retire from something you've NEVER been a part of?
I can see why you'd lose it because of vandals (i often do, even though i know it's against the guidelines), but what did we do in order to merit this? They have been blocked to and fro, and we are the hypocrites and the dotards? Oh well... --Quite A Character (talk) 17:34, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Yes, if you notice references #30/#31 in his article you will see Leeds bought him outright on 9 JANUARY and not 9 MAY as Soccerbase says.
Enjoy the new week, continue the good work --Quite A Character (talk) 23:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
You're welcome. :-) Yeah, I've got your Talk page on my watchlist since our exchange earlier this year so I've been seeing the spam. Robby.is.on (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello. You might want to tell the owner of whatever script it is that you used here that it shouldn't be changing double hyphens in template parameters to emdashes, as it did when it changed <ref>{{soccerway|massimo--luongo/209637}}</ref>
to <ref>{{soccerway|massimo—luongo/209637}}</ref>
I'm guessing you didn't think that was an unlikely change to make? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:46, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
When adding time stamps to articles please take care to use 3 ~ instead of 4 as you did here or here. You're siging articles which is not appropriate--Jac16888 Talk 17:01, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Chris Wood (footballer, born 1991) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Kosack -- Kosack (talk) 20:01, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
The article Chris Wood (footballer, born 1991) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Chris Wood (footballer, born 1991) for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Kosack -- Kosack (talk) 10:20, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Cheers for the heads up, there I was typing it out each time! SBFCEdit (talk) 21:48, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
1 - Sorry mate, can't help you with the squad template, i'm as dumb as they come regarding technicalities; 2 - thanks for the kind message, continue the great work!
Cheers --Quite A Character (talk) 01:00, 1 March 2018 (UTC)Hi, "The" Saturdays is correct, If some policy here says it's not then you need to seek consensus for the changes, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Wings featured Paul McCartney from the Beatles and Denny Laine from the Moody Blues.). I have noticed The Saturdays are written out both ways though in one or two of the band members' articles... Iggy (Swan) 22:01, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
