== [[Diego Costa]] ==

Hi there TAD,

I tried to reach a compromise in this guy's intro between your edits and mine, asking please not to be rolledback. You did exactly that, seems that i, like the blocked user, am not also welcome to edit in there. Yes i also reverted you but then, seeing the error of my ways, immediately reinstated most of your stuff, you reverted it ALL because (as you say in a previous summary) my English is viewed as "poor" (or "flawed").

But i did that anyway, reverting (for the umpteenth time!) a guy who wrote "...is a Brazilian-born Spanish footballer...", intros are supposed to be kept simple. And reverting you in the SPONSORSHIP section, no need to wikilink [[Sevilla FC]] as it is already in the CLUB CAREER section.

Have a nice Saturday --[[User:Always Learning|AL]] ([[User talk:Always Learning|talk]]) 16:28, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

They have been renamed, but the original account was then used again. I'm not sure who it was being used by, but I've blocked that one now. SmartSE (talk) 16:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Qed237. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Luis Aragonés 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. Why are you destroying links? QED237 (talk) 22:18, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow the url doesn't come up in full on my source code when I edit. I have no idea why or how. The Almightey Drill (talk) 22:25, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What device are you using to edit?--Launchballer 22:30, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
PC with chrome The Almightey Drill (talk) 22:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Very strange. Try doing the same thing with another browser.--Launchballer 22:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of people from Skopje may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • main category|People from Skopje}}

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 16:12, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing the source of reference URLs in Flappy Bird.--Launchballer 22:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

re:Marquinhos

Hi. Ohh italics are standard? I haven't seen that. Can you provide me with a link to were it says it is standard? QED237 (talk) 22:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Try looking at The Guardian article or that of any newspaper, film, TV show or album. You may be surprised. Dare you unitalicise them all? The Almightey Drill (talk) 22:38, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wiki policies say I dont have to look at other articles but you must support what you are doing. QED237 (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ITALIC now stoop harassing me The Almightey Drill (talk) 22:56, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am not harrassing, I restore articles were citations and links has been destroyed. But thanks for the link. QED237 (talk) 22:59, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And will you restore Marquinhos and The Star how they were according to WP standards? The Almightey Drill (talk) 23:01, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The edit I made to Diego was to remove a double full stop. Can you delete that so my broswer doesn't kill the link? The Almightey Drill (talk) 23:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. (I think). QED237 (talk) 00:13, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I will do that now. I was just trying to find the articles. QED237 (talk) 23:02, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done. QED237 (talk) 23:03, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there TAD, AL from Portugal "here",

yes, BBC SPORT is indeed a reliable source for football matters, but in this case it is WRONG. I used the edit summaries in the proper page, i used the article's talk, all i see to no avail, but i'll repeat it here: FULL NAME "José Manuel Flores Moreno", SPORTING NAME "Chico". "Chico Flores" is a name/nickname compound, thus wrong OK?

Attentively --AL (talk) 20:59, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see you have already reverted me, fair enough, i'll bring this to WP:FOOTY (chances are no one will care like they normally do when i bring something forth, but i'll risk it). --AL (talk) 21:02, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't contest those numbers, far from me to do that. It's just that Kaká is not known as "Ricardo Kaká" or "Kaká Leite", Ronaldinho not known as "Ronaldo Ronaldinho" or "Ronaldinho Assis", and i could give a "few" thousand more examples. I repeat, i have brought the discussion at WP:FOOTY, case closed for me, if they write "Chico Flores" fine, if they write "Chico" ditto, i know it's the latter that is correct.

Cheers (and i apologize for reverting first and then messaging, i should have done the other way around) --AL (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Show me your evidence. I showed you mine. There will be no English source of a "Kaka Leite", you're right, and that's because it's not his common name here - or to my knowledge anywhere. However, as I've shown you, there's plenty of evidence here that this player is known IN ENGLAND as Chico Flores - heck, and his Spanish article is even titled as such! The Almightey Drill (talk) 21:20, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here they are (http://udalmeria.ideal.es/noticias/2010-03-16/central-gaditano-chico-estara-20100316.html, http://www.ideal.es/granada/v/20100721/deportes/ud-almeria/chico-deja-emocionado-para-20100721.html, http://www.joinfutbol.com/es/chico_ud_almeria_jugo_de_titular_con_la_seleccion_espanola_sub_21__20292.php, http://www.almeriaunion.com/el_almeria_tendra_que_pagar_al_cadiz_por_chico-noticias_del_almeria-ispyp-294709.htm and http://es.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=esp/news/newsid=1507201.html, not once is he addressed as CHICO FLORES there). Why should they be dismissed just for being Spanish? I see where you're coming from, however, your point is very valid.

Ah, but the fact his ES.WIKI name means nothing as far as i'm concerned mate, do you know how they renamed Paul Abasolo's article there? THE CONVICTION OF PAUL ABASOLO, mindblowing! Cheers, glad to be of service --AL (talk) 02:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Many Spanish sources also call Christopher Columbus Cristobal Colón, or Seville Sevilla. English common name trumps all. The Almightey Drill (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: GTA4 Flappy Bird mod

Not sure if this would count, but I scoured a bit and found some seemingly notable news citations, like this one from Forbes. Blake Gripling (talk) 13:19, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diego Costa

Hi. I saw you made some clarifications to Diego Costa that was immediately removed by an other user. I reverted him but he has re-reverted me twice (I dont want to reach 3RR) and he has now made 3 reverts (including the one on your edit) so If you want to take a look at it and you want to have your clarification done that is up to you. Dont know why he is reverting, feels like WP:OWNERSHIP. QED237 (talk) 22:02, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In the presentation, it is not necessary to put all the information, because they appear later in the story line. Thank you.--User:Gringoladomenega (talk) 7 March 2014 (UTC)
It's not all the information, it's barely anything more than the last edition rather than improving its grammar and syntax. Why mention two teams he was loaned to and not the third? The Almightey Drill (talk) 21:29, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, you're right.--User:Gringoladomenega (talk) 7 March 2014 (UTC)
If you say you have more experience with this editor talk to him before he gets blocked. I did not mean to threaten him but look at his history. Several warnings and for example still 4 reverts at Giovani dos Santos. He has to stop now before someone blocks him (he should already have been). QED237 (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
