ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Hello, I'm Kő Cloch. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Kő Cloch (talk) 14:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Daniel Powell, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Mass removal of references without an explanation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ben Tilney

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ben Tilney, 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 debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, 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 removed 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.

Proposed deletion of Callum Brittain

The article Callum Brittain has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:12, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Academy players in Dons' squad list

I was thinking of adding a "Reserve team and academy" sub-section for those players like the Leeds United F.C. page. It's definitely worth mentioning them somewhere. --FilthyDon (talk) 12:47, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You were right to remove the non-pro players from the squad list. However it would be nice to recognise the team that beat Newport County in some way, both for the contribution of the individuals and for Robinson giving them the opportunity. I don't know how, maybe just Robbo's words that 'this was a team with an average age of 17' in the 'manager' section? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:53, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Live updates

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) 12:54, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Powell

Hi,

We don't remove current clubs from player articles until their contracts have actually expired. The citation that you added to the article clearly states that he will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract, which is after 30 June 2017. This is when Powell becomes a free agent, unless he signs a contract with a new club. In future, please observe WP:BRD rather than restoring your changes. Thank you for listening. LTFC 95 (talk) 19:07, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Daniel Powell. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:33, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Career stats table

Hi, please refer to WP:FOOTY/Players to see how to correctly format career stats tables. The division are repeated to aid with accessibility. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Ousseynou Cissé. Removal of sourced and notable international stats table without any explanation, as part of a clumsy revert. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you have clearly explained why you have amended my edits to one of the pages in question, I can understand where you are coming from on certain points - I did not know for example that I shouldn't put a national side in an infobox when a player is called up, if they haven't made an appearance. However, there is absolutely no need to make threats of blocking me from editing when my intentions were good, and I was following your advice in the first place when you suggested I follow WP:FOOTY/Players. You have also removed page links to clubs from the 'Honours' section of several of my edits, when this is exactly what is shown on WP:FOOTY/Players. Finally, WP:FOOTY/Players specifically says that the guidelines are exactly that and not set in stone. I don't see any issue in putting the nationality of a division in a page article. Not everyone is aware that League One for example is in England, and could easily be confused with the French Ligue 1 for those not in the know. Unless you are going to point me in the direction of specific, set in stone guidelines, then you have no right to change edits that have been justified such as that. In future, please be more constructive and productive rather than making edits without explanation, and threatening bans on users such as myself that have good intentions at heart. **FINALLY** - I did not remove any data regarding Cissé's international stats, I don't know why you think I did. There is no record in the page history that I edited the amount of appearances he made, only you seem to have done that. Please do not make false accusations. FilthyDon (talk) 14:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is *demonstrably* true that you did remove sourced and notable content at Ousseynou Cissé. This is the edit I am referring to. Scroll down, and you will see that the table under the level 3 heading entitled "International" was removed in this revert. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies - I overlooked this and it was a genuine error - I thought you were referring to the appearances in the right hand infobox. I believe this happened when I was re-organising the page, cutting and pasting sections and for some reason did not cut and paste his international stats. I'll hold my hands up to that. However, please can you respond to the rest of my message - namely that WP:FOOTY/Players are guidelines only and not set in stone, and also that my inclusion of the nationality of leagues was justified (e.g. 'English' League One, to differentiate between that league and the French 'Ligue 1' and other similarly named leagues across europe.)

Please point me in the right direction of example player pages that you see as the 'gold standard' so I know what to follow in future, as WP:FOOTY/Players doesn't seem to be it. Also - again I would appreciate it if you would not make threats of banning me considering my intentions were good and not malicious. I contribute a lot of content to certain pages and have invested dozens of hours creating and editing season/player pages (as have you), and to be accused of things without constructive feedback, especially when you can see I was following WP:FOOTY/Players, is uncalled for. Why, for example did you remove the club page links in the 'Honours' section of certain page edits I made, when WP:FOOTY/Players shows this in the template? FilthyDon (talk) 15:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It has never been standard practice to include nationalities with leagues. If readers are curious about this, which they may well be, they can click the wikilinked text. That's what they're there for.

It's hard to think any one page that meets a 'gold standard', after all no page is perfect. In theory, the articles at WP:FOOTY#Featured content should be the closest to this, as they have been reviewed against the FA/FL/GA criteria.

The club names in honours sections are effectively section headings, and I don't know why WP:FOOTY/Players encourages that they should be linked, nor why it includes the redundant colon. See MOS:LINKSTYLE, which states that "Section headings should not themselves contain links". Mattythewhite (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mattythewhite - thank you for clarifying. As you know it's easy to get bogged down with conflicting guidance. There are some good pages on WP:FOOTY#Featured content and will take influence from those in future. Apologies for any hassle caused, I like to try and get things "right", as I'm sure you do and always keen to learn. No need to respond on your talk page - I've raised the same points there that you have responded to on here. All the best. FilthyDon (talk) 15:58, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, hope you've not been put off at all, I know I can be quite blunt at times. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any more questions. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:15, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stadium mk/MK

Good work on revising the Stadium article. May I suggest that you follow through now by getting the current Stadium MK article deleted and the current Stadium mk moved to that name. Although I know how to move an article to an unused name, I don't know how you move over an existing article. I suppose the best way is to put a helpme template here on your talk page to ask for an admin for support as I'm pretty sure that only admins can delete pages. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 21:12, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: AFC Wimbledon v Milton Keynes Dons F.C. rivalry (September 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Salimfadhley was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is a well researched article, however none of the sources seem to give any significant coverage to the rivalry between the two teams. I cannot deny that such a rivalry exists - it's just not attested by the secondary sources - or at most given a passing reference. Unless we can demonstrate significant coverage of this topic - it just does not seem notable at all.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:AFC Wimbledon v Milton Keynes Dons F.C. rivalry and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:AFC Wimbledon v Milton Keynes Dons F.C. rivalry, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Salimfadhley (talk) 01:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Salimfadhley: I assume you have compared this draft to other similar rivalry pages. I have looked through several approved, long-standing similar rivalry articles and several do not provide any more substantial secondary source articles on those rivalries than this draft does. Please check pages such as: Cross-border derby, Lincolnshire derby, Humber derby etc. There are many more. Considering the amount of time and effort I have put in to this article, with substantially more references than one or two of the above approved rivalry articles, I would say that you should overturn this and approve. If you are still not satisfied, please specify exactly what you want me to include in order for it to be approved, as long as it is consistent with other approved rivalry articles. There is no specific requirement for 'significant coverage' for a rivalry to exist. The various sources I linked to wish illustrate a rivalry should be more than sufficient - I have included sources which mention mediation between the two clubs, damage by supporters, extensive media coverage in the press due to the history etc. Common sense would suggest this is more than enough! FilthyDon (talk) 11:43, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind if we move this discussion to the article's talk page? Please re-post your argument and I will respond in the appropriate place. --Salimfadhley (talk) 12:23, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, FilthyDon. I saw your message in #wikipedia-en-help ^connect. AfC isn't for creating templates, just articles. (Even for articles, it's not required in most cases.) If you're satisfied with the state of the template you created, you copy-paste it to templatespace at your leisure. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 06:37, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Tamzin, thank you for reaching out. I'm not familiar with "templatespace" and Google takes me to Template:Spaces which doesn't seem to be the right place. Wherever this "templatespace" is, I assume I can just paste the template in there and submit it for review that way? Apologies if these are basics, again creating new content isn't something I do often. FilthyDon (talk) 06:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, sorry for the jargon there! By "templatespace" I mean the "Template:..." namespace. It looks like similar templates use titles like Template:2016–17 EFL Championship PFA Team of the Year, so here Template:2021–22 EFL League One Team of the Season would make sense for a title. You can just click on that redlink and copy-paste the markup from your sandbox. (Normally there are issues with copy-pasting, but when you're the sole contributor to something it's fine. The reason I say to copy-paste it and not just move the page is that, if you moved it, other unrelated sandbox edits would wind up in that template's history. To avoid that kind of thing, you can always draft at User:FilthyDon/some subpage name and move that when you're ready.) I hope that makes a bit more sense. :) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 06:51, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No apology needed, I should know better by now! Your explanation was perfect, everything looks fine. Thank you for taking the time to assist, have a great day. FilthyDon (talk) 06:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No full stops in incomplete sentences

Hi there. Please don't add full stops to timestamps or other incomplete sentences, please. See MOS:CAPFRAG. I've removed them at Troy Parrott: diff. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:12, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noted @Robby.is.on. I have edited numerous player pages in this way - will no longer add full stops in future similar edits. FilthyDon (talk) 22:16, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Great. :-) Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 22:57, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you have time, could you add a few sentences on the 21/22 season?

We were so close to automatic promotion, just threw it away with unbelieveable losses in the last few weeks to low-ranking clubs. But Milton Keynes Dons F.C.#2018–present: Bounce-back and search for stability needs to say something about it. I'm guessing that you may have more convenient access to citations? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:44, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it's in the pipeline, there's a few sections of the Milton Keynes Dons article that need updating/shortening/editing/removing and that's one of them. Will sort that one out this week, needs covering Russell Martin and Liam Manning. FilthyDon (talk) 11:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
