Hello GS - Chris Cerroni Article

The World University Games are a major international amateur and professional competition only second to the Olympics and recognized by FIFA. Chris Cerroni has had representation at two of these major events. Please see below as quoted in Wikipedia.

“Wikipedia:Notability (sports)

Notability guidelines on sports persons Generally acceptable standards Sports figures are presumed notable (except as noted within a specific section) if they: have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics.”

The Major Indoor Soccer League is a professional league within USA and recognized by FIFA. Please see below as quoted by Wikipedia.

‪”Major Indoor Soccer League (2001–2008)‬ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Major Indoor Soccer League was the top professional indoor soccer league in the USA. The league was a member of both the United States Soccer Federation and FIFA. The MISL had replaced the NPSL which folded in 2001. According to MISL.net, the league ceased operations as of May 31, 2008. "We are considering structural changes that will bring us greater efficiencies, while also allowing long term growth and expansion of the League," said John Hantz, former Chairman of the MISL, and Owner/Operator of the Detroit Ignition.[1] All the teams from MISL went to the new indoor leagues: NISL, PASL-PRO and the XSL. The NISL and XSL used the same playing rules as the MISL.”

I do believe that the article on Chris Cerroni has more than enough evidence on validating an article on this subject. Sources have been added and due to this proposed deletion the article has been improved with further validating material from a number of different sources.

I would respectfully suggest that the article not be deleted but a review on the update of Major indoor soccer be recognized, as this is a sport that has and continues to draw crowds of thousands with six figure player salaries.

Apologies

for posting 3 times. It was not done to reinforce the point or be aggressive, just a lack of computer know-how from myself - as I didn't see it register.--96.48.14.66 (talk) 16:58, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there GS,

quite a handful we have in this coach's article. The subject's agent/publicist continues to say his article is not neutral (it IS!) and continues to revert us (refs included) even though we told him this is not how it works around here.

I would expect this behaviour from a lowlife or a vandal (sometimes they come in pairs), but not from a person who claims to be what this guy does. Puzzling indeed...

UK user disrespecting commoname approach

He continues doing it (writing full names on players that have red links instead of the common one, creating a MESS when people decide to create an article), now with this IP (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.179.13.99), i figure this is a lost battle, he has TONS of IPs...

Delhi Football League

Hey Snowman. Just wanted to tell you that the page, 2013 Delhi Senior Divison League, may actually be eligable for speedy under A.10. I already created an article on this season's Delhi league before the user created the other article already mentioned, but I used the actual name which should have been 2013 DSA Senior Division. Just thought I let you know about that. Also I unPRODed the article Delhi Senior Division as I was able to expand on the article to establish notability that the league is, in fact, the top football league in the state of Delhi. I also renamed that page to its correct name. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 20:00, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there mate,

do you have any idea as to why the PC update in this guy's box is not showing? Thank you very much in advance and happy week --AL (talk) 19:33, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

• Apparently, it had to do with the presentation of the clubs in box before the actual PC/NT dates, another user has already taken care of that, nice work. --AL (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Joe Paladino Article

Hi,

You undid an edit I made to the article on Joe Paladino earlier today.

The article states in the first paragraph that "He is currently the Assistant Manager of Rossendale United."

As Rossendale United ceased to exist in June 2011 when they were expelled from the North West Counties Football League, the statement above is obviously incorrect.

Mr. Paladino joined New Mills as (officially) the goalkeeping coach at New Mills earlier this season but as he spends most Saturdays in the dugout along with the current New Mills manager, Roy Soule, he is effectively the assistant manager of New Mills.

A brief excursion on the New Mills website (http://www.newmillsafc.co.uk/clubinfo.htm) verifies this information.

Sadly, I do not have the nous to include a reference to my edit without the fear of cocking up the whole article, hence the perfuntory nature of my edit.

Nonetheless, I can assure you that the few edits I ever make to Wikipedia (probably no more than half a dozen to date) are always based 100% on fact. I do not make frivolous or malicious edits.

Also sadly, due to my infrequent activity, I have forgotten my log in details. I have requested new details by entering my e-mail address and have been informed that an e-mail has been sent. It hasn't arrived. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.148.98.79 (talk) 20:47, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

RE: 2011 National Women's Cup

More sources added. Better? CyMoahk (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I was more asking if you thought it was enough to remove the 'refimprove' tag, since you were the one who added it. (I thought the original refs were sufficient and clear, but I am glad I found more. I don't remove tags I don't make unless they're objectively wrong, like when someone added an 'orphan' tag to an article I made that already had three other articles linking to it. That one really confused me...) CyMoahk (talk) 15:55, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

João Carlos Pereira - Updates

I have tried my "bestest" to improve the article, my second (anon) summary will be self-evident, but please reinstate the tag if you still feel it is necessary. This is no José Mourinho, Jorge Jesus or Domingos Paciência (to cite three of my country's most known coaches), refs are only available in Portuguese man.

Will this be enough to avoid the "wiki-raids" by the manager's agent/publicist? I doubt it very much, but one can only hope... --AL (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Odd (to say the least)

After the Colombian punk desisted on his harassment, could i now have another "admirer"?

Last message on my talk was in Romanian, so i used the google translator: title reads something like "Nice" or "Handsome", but the body of text is something to the effect of "Arab Gypsy Portuguese" and it ends with shouting, what on earth is this stuff?!

You have been duly notified, regards - --AL (talk) 19:19, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

• Ah, he addressed me by my REAL name in his message, could he be this guy or this guy (both Romanians, this new account also edits in the football of that country mainly)? I leave it to your attention. --AL (talk) 19:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Yun Suk-Young

I was editing this article in light of the player's move that has just been announced. Please see: http://www.qpr.co.uk/news/article/300113-suk-young-signs-627832.aspx

You can do it yourself though, if you're just going to go around undoing stuff people do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.217.124.36 (talk) 10:17, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Stuart Mills

This signing was announced during the summer of 2012 at http://www.pollokfc.com/news/2012/7/19/signing-news.html

If this does not count as a 'reliable source' there is plenty of footage available of the player in action for Pollok F.C. on YouTube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.139.50 (talk) 17:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Can the fraud section simply be removed by a user who claims that the sources aren't reliable? I often go to wikipedia to get the scoop on allegations/controversies in the news cycle that do not seem so very different form this one.FinchleyRd (talk) 18:12, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
