Live updates[edit]

Hi.

Please do not update statistics or scores while a match is in progress. Instead, wait until the match has finished before updating. At WikiProject Football there is a consensus not to add live scores and also a consensus not to update any statistics while a match is in progress. Without live updates it is easier to avoid duplicate information and errors from being published on the article.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 17:19, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

October 2015[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Zlatan Ibrahimović. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Qed237 (talk) 17:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jannik Vestergaard. 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. Giant Snowman 21:42, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Adam Lallana, you may be blocked from editing. Giant Snowman 21:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Haris Seferović. Giant Snowman 08:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To explain further - please ensure that all edits are fully explained, and that you use reliable sources to verify changes - this is especially important about living people. Please also do not update stats while games are still being played. If you have any questions please ask. Giant Snowman 11:45, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GiantSnowman, thankyou for pointing out the above for me. I certainly have no intention of causing disruptive edits, I do get carried away with editing immediately after a game has ended. With the Haris Seferovic page i messed up the edit but im sure people could see what i was intending as its now been corrected. Wardgattitriology (talk) 13:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, if you provide an edit summary explaining your edit, as well as a source, then there can be no confusion. Again, If you need any help then please give me a shout. Giant Snowman 15:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Michy Batshuayi. Giant Snowman 11:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GiantSnowman, I noticed that the content for the Career Statistics was removed for Michy Batshuayi. Could you explain why so I don't make the same mistake again? Wardgattitriology (talk) 12:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was unsourced, as I stated in my edit summary. Giant Snowman 12:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Was this source used? It's already linked in the article, but it should still be mentioned in the edit summary (somehow). --Leyo 13:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful with your stats edits[edit]

Hello. Thank you for trying to keep footballer stats up to date, but you really do need to take more care over your edits. I undid your edit at Dejan Lovren, because you gave him 33 rather than the correct 35 Liverpool appearances and set the timestamp to a point during his last game, despite doing the update some hours afterwards. Now today you've given Olcan Adın 34 rather than the correct 36 appearances, and Bilal Kısa the correct 7/2, but as of 29 October. Those edits weren't done in a rush immediately after the end of a game. Thank you for listening. Struway2 (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to come back here again, but it really is becoming a problem. The point is, not updating the stats at all is better than missing bits out, not checking the sources, or not updating the as-of date to match the stats. This is an encyclopedia, so we need to get it right. How to update infobox stats is:

wait for the game to finish;
don't just add 1 (or however many games he's played since the date of last update) to the existing figure: many people don't update the timestamp correctly, as you're well aware;
check the source for the player's stats: if it's already up to date for the game just ended, then use the figures from the source, if it hasn't updated yet, then it's safe to add 1 to the appropriate figure from the source;
set the timestamp, which is the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter, to a date or a date/time unambiguously after the last match included in the stats. The easy way to do it is to replace the contents of the parameter with five tilde characters, which the system will automatially convert to the current date and time: so copy-and-paste |club-update=~~~~~ over the existing |club-update= row.

Updating the career stats table is similar. Don't do it in mid-game, and don't use a match-date as the date of update unless you're including stats for that day's match. Check the source to be sure you're including matches in all competitions up to and including the date of update.

Please don't ignore this. Struway2 (talk) 09:39, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Benjamin Moukandjo, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 17:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

December 2015[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Gary Cahill.

You edited six pages last night:

at Daniel Sturridge, you set the stats table as-of date to just December (I accept that could have been a typo);

at Divock Origi, you set the stats table as-of date to 2 December, despite the row not including the subject's last PL game;

at Jürgen Klopp, you updated the managerial stats despite someone having already done so;

and at Gary Cahill, with your first edit, you set the infobox stats to 110/6, which would have been correct as of the existing datestamp, but you also changed the datestamp to a date/time at which 110/6 was incorrect; then with your second edit, you updated this season's PL and European stats to their correct values as of now, but left out the domestic cup appearances and set the as-of date to before his last PL game...

I can't tell from here if you're being deliberately disruptive or if there's a competence issue, but it has to stop.

Thank you for listening. Struway2 (talk) 10:17, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

People are not updating the 'pc' when editing the numbers correctly. I think it's clear i'm not being deliberately disruptive. Just here to help contribute as everyone else but there are other incompetent users not editing properly. Wardgattitriology (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid the fact that other people aren't doing it right isn't a reason for you to do the same. Most of the articles you edit include sources for the player's stats. If you check them before making changes to an article, then you'd know what the player's correct figures were and could update the page correctly yourself. The procedure to follow is outlined above. Struway2 (talk) 16:11, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wardgattitriology I know (hope) you aren't being deliberately disruptive, however as @Struway2: suggests competence is required. If you cannot edit correctly even if you are trying your hardest then you should not edit at all. I suggest you take more care and time with your edits.

December 2015[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Lazar Marković.

Sources[edit]

At the top of the career stats table at Franco di Santo, there's a line that says "As of 4 December" and then a number in brackets. If you click on the number, it goes to a line in the References section. If you click on the blue link on that line, where it says "Argentina - F. di Santo", it takes you to a page at the Soccerway website that tells you what the player's stats are in all competitions, season by season, when he last played, etc. That page is called the "cited source" for the stats table. If you compare them with the ones you added, you'll see they're different. The ones at the Soccerway website are the ones we're supposed to use. You might want to correct Mr di Santo's stats yourself. Hope this helps, Struway2 (talk) 16:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The "As of 4 December" bit tells the reader that the stats table are correct at that date. If the table includes a European game played and European goal scored on 10 December, as it does, then it can't very well be correct as of 4 December, can it? Struway2 (talk) 17:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stats in football players' infoboxes and update of career stats[edit]

Hi.

When you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of when the stats are correct. This is done by updating |pcupdate= (or |club-update=) parameter when updating club appearances and goals, or |ntupdate= (or |nationalteam-update=) when updating national team appearances and goals. The easiest way to do this is to use five tildes, which automatically converts to the current time. For example |club-update=~~~~~.

When you update the career statistics please remember that you should also update that timestamp as well to a time when the stats are correct. This is done by manually updating the date above or below the statistics table. By doing this we show when the stats were last updated and it prevents other editors from accidentally updating the stats again.

This is done to show other editors when the stats were last updated and prevent them from accidentally updating the stats again, and also it shows readers that it has been updated.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 11:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Wardgattitriology (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I honestly believe that me being blocked indefinitely was harsh but I do understand that Admin users are just doing what they feel is right. I'm just eager to help contribute to Wikipedia and feel I can be one of the very best editers here just need some guidance along the way. It's clear in the way I edit I try to follow the procedure correctly but it's hard when there are many editers out there that do not update timescales, I could provide many real rime evidence of this. Also the fact that no admins actually reviews edits before reverting is a concern, how can you tell if an edit is legit or not? This message is especially for MattyTheWhite, QED, Struway and GiantSnowman and I hope you can see I'm only here to contribute to disrupt. Sport is a big passion of mine and would not waste hours a week just to cause friction. I understand that I need to be a little more careful with my edits and double check I haven't made a typo but I've learnt a lot about what you can and can't do when editing I.e update during a live match. Is there anything I can do that will get me back editing freely? Wardgattitriology (talk) 12:34, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You haven't addressed the issue at hand which is that you were evading your block after blocked. That's why you are blocked indefinitely. Any future unblock requests will need to address this. only (talk) 23:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
