Premier League

can you elaborate on why you had reverted the change to go back to an incorrect one? the link provided as citation also has the correct number (7) that I updated so it's not like the changes I made were incorrect or misleading — Preceding unsigned comment added by I king (talk • contribs) 14:38, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@I king: Just look at the Infobox timestamp after your edit. It says "All statistics correct as of 21 November 2016" (at the bottom of the infobox) and Chelsea had not won 7 matches at that time, so you actually made an factually incorrect edit. Also you can not update just part of an infobox, if you had updated the timestamp along with your edit then all other stats would have been wrong. For that reason the entire infobox is always updated after all matches has been played and all sources has been updated. Wikipedia is not a newsticker and there is no rush to update. Qed237 (talk) 17:24, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

why do you keep reverting my changes? all sources have been updated and I have stated so in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediocre Legacy (talk • contribs) 13:10, 4 December 2016 (EST)

@Mediocre Legacy: No, all sources was not updated and for example you added incorrect attendance figure. Wikipedia is not a news ticker and we should wait, it is better to be slow and correct than fast and wrong. It is an encyclopedia. Qed237 (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mediocre Legacy: I actually reported you, but now I just removed the report (diff) to give you one final chance. Qed237 (talk) 18:14, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what I've done wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediocre Legacy (talk • contribs) 13:41, 4 December 2016 (EST)

@Mediocre Legacy: As I said above, all sources had not been updated and for example you updated incorrect attendance. It is best to wait until next day to update (or until after weekend matches). So wait until tuesday. Qed237 (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mediocre Legacy: If you cant update properly, there is always the alternative and do like before and dont show stats in the infobox during the season, only after. Qed237 (talk) 21:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

UEFA European Championship matches

Is there any need for a dedicated article to list the matches? The dates and times are already on the main tournament article, it seems unnecessary. I think a better way to do it is like on the page 2014 FIFA World Cup#Match summary, which uses a collapsible Wikitable. That was done after a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 2014 FIFA World Cup matches. I thought this set a precedent, which is why I redirected these articles in the first place. Secret Agent Julio (talk) 21:11, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Secret Agent Julio: Okay I see. I was not aware of that AfD and the FIFA history and looking at your edit summary I thought it was your own personal decision. Perhaps it is best to open a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football first. Qed237 (talk) 11:07, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should've left a better summary. As far as discussion goes, is that really necessary? The AfD seems like a good enough consensus for me, and several FOOTY members contributed. Secret Agent Julio (talk) 22:47, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VisualEditor

Hello, Just a quick question. I was wondering do you use the VisualEditor to edit sections? Thanks --Skyblueshaun (talk) 16:46, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Skyblueshaun: Hi. No I have tried it, but I dont like it. After trying it a few months ago, I have always used the regular edit window. Qed237 (talk) 22:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'Warning'

Sorry mate but Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez are both now on 11 goals in the Premier League, so in what way am I vandalizing the page? I also find this threat incredibly offensive since I have been an active and helpful contributor for several years and have never been accused of such 'vandalizing' in the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnknownBrick22 (talk • contribs) 23:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@UnknownBrick22: The warning might have been harsh, but first of all you did not update the timestamp so it said "as of 27 November" and neither player had scored 11 goals then. Secondly, if you had updated the timestamp then the rest of the information would have been incorrect. Always when updating an infobox, the entire infobox should be updated, including the timestamp.
