Not so sure about "continuing", that was my first substantive editing in two years! its not so much the split but the name that jars with me, "contemporary" is something of a misnomer for players who left 14 years ago. If having one list it'd be good to have the extra league/cups detail for the whole list, but also a boatload of work. If making any modification I'd use the opportunity to get rid of the player of the year column, as it is redundant to the table. Plus sorting out the MOSFLAG issues. There are other issues too, of course, which played out on the talk page without much in the way of consensus. I've never really been that happy with the list, but I grew tired of the to and fro with Mancini Lasagne. [[User:Oldelpaso|Oldelpaso]] ([[User talk:Oldelpaso|talk]]) 20:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification for October 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1923–24 Manchester City F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Upton Park. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sub pages
Hi just wanted to say thank you for making up the matches attended sub page. I would really enjoy doing the same thing you do. I have lots to catch up on!!! I used yours as a template (I hope you don't mind!) as I enjoyed reading the ones you attended. It seemed to work ok for me so wanted to say thank you very much and hears to more editing!!! Davezo33 01:19, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks man, I always wondered what sub pages were anyway so it was good for a start to find and it was interesting. I found the page on your user page because I checked the contributions on the 2014-15 Lowland League as I edit the 2014-15 Highland League so I was interested to find out who did that page. I found mostly you edit it so looked on your user page and found the sub page. I don't think many Wiki users read each others pages as they just want to edit/update things but thank you for letting me use the style.

NYCFC draft picks
How's it going? I just wanted to let you know that I removed Category:New York City FC draft picks from all 10 pages containing players who were taken in the Expansion Draft because it should only contain players who were drafted in either the MLS College Draft, MLS SuperDraft or MLS Supplemental Draft. For this team, it would only be MLS SuperDraft. Just like what we do with NBA and NHL players. – Michael (talk) 19:38, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

york away
Hi mate, I found the York City team for you, I used this web link citytillidie http://www.citytilidie.com/latest/york-away-199899/ a Man City website! I don't think the squad numbers are correct though, there is no page for Andy Dawson too. He had 32 games for York and that was his only goal! Nice too see you update your matches attended too, you go to Wembley often I see! My team Aberdeen have not had much luck this season but we are pushing for the Scottish Premiership this year. Will find more for you if poss, thanks again. Davezo33 21:37, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello there! I see you edited the Lowland Football League article to remove the statements of Edinburgh City being the champions. I had also removed these earlier, before putting them back. My calculation is that East Kilbride have a 14 point deficit and only 12 points available from their remaining four games, so cannot catch Edinburgh City. I think some online league tables are not up to date, but this one appears to be: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/lowland-league/table Maybe you can check? -- Walnuts go kapow (talk) 10:27, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Andrea Pirlo & NYC FC
Hi,
Regarding Andrea Pirlo's number. I saw him wearing 21 too, but don't you think that 21 could mean July 21? To my mind, we should keep Hernandez's number as 21 and leave Andrea without a number at least until July 21 or at least until NYC FC's website gets updated. What do you think about my proposition?? – Sabbatino (talk) 18:29, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

A question
Can you help me to break this table in two tables ? 2007–08 Liga II, because all the editions of Liga II has two separate tables. Thank you !--Alexiulian25 (talk) 22:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
The rule is : In case of same number of points, the head-to-head match is taking into account, like in a knock out tournament. If it is the perfect equality in the 2 games: like 0-0 and 0-0. or 1-1 and 1-1, then the team with better goal difference is taking into account.
And if are 3 teams with same points, then a table in 3 is necessary. Do you understand now ?
There are just another 2 editions with same problem: 2008–09 Liga II and 2006–07 Liga II if you have time to break them.--Alexiulian25 (talk) 23:38, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Is the head to head rule. [1] If you check the head to head results, you will see. What anything else can be ?--Alexiulian25 (talk) 23:55, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Congrats for Man City victory tonight ! Have you been to the stadium ? Please when you have time just split the 2 tables, and keep the order of the teams, they are sorted by head to head records in case of same points. Thanks !--Alexiulian25 (talk) 23:47, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

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.

Joe Lancaster
Hello. I would appreciate if the page regarding Joe Lancaster could be re edited or reassigned as it is confusing the careers of two totally separate people who happen to share the same name.
The first reference about Joe Lancaster from Stockport, born 28th April 1926, who played as a goalkeeper for Manchester United and then went on to play for Accrington Stanley is correct. However, he did not die on the 15 December 2015, I should know, he's my father and is still with us on this date (25th January 2016).
All the other impressive facts regarding the Joe Lancaster who was a fitness trainer for Manchester City and a renowned athlete, and who apparently died on 15th December 2015, are a totally different and unrelated person.
I have deliberately not edited the page myself (may have been interpreted as vandalism) as it seems to need major surgery, but have hopefully left it to more qualified contributors.
Thanks in anticipation.

2016–17 Premier League
Hi,
I just saw that you reverted my edit at 2016–17 Premier League regarding what teams have qualified for next season. I just followed the source for that section saying that all teams down to Man United are secure, and have not calculated myself (WP:OR). Can you give me one scenario that results in Spurs being in relegation, thus proving the source is unreliable? Qed237 (talk) 09:55, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your explanation. I am a mathematician as well, and a huge fan of sports and stats, which is why I keep track of all leagues and scenarios of top European leagues at User:Qed237/sandbox4 (both to update tables, but also add new teams to Champions League and Europoa League when they qualify). I have also, as an example, done all math for AFC and the other World cup qualifications at User:Qed237/sandbox2#AFC World Cup qualification possibilities. The math interest and studies together with some programming courses at university has also lead to User:Qed237/sandbox4#Coefficient table where all possible coefficients and league ranking are determined. I have also made a computer programme for calculating all scenarios, but I am currently modifying it changing from function-based programme to object-based and also trying to reduce memory load so unfortunately I can not use it yet. And I have not had the time to do all math by hand, which is why I asked you for a scenario. It looks like you are right and I suggest we remove that source. Anyway, thank you very much for your response, it was a very good read. Qed237 (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

New York City FC
Not sure why you reverted. The changes were all good. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:05, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Walter Görlitz: OK. Let's try this a THIRD time. I reverted the edit on that page because it was a blatant attempt to bias the article by removing references to the club's owners, whom many fans aren't happy with. If there had been a general restructure of info on the page I wouldn't have minded, but it was a simple deletion of all pertinent info in the opening paragraph which the user in question didn't want highlighted. It's happened a lot on that page and that's why I instantly rollback any such changes I see.
- Oh, and since it's taken this long to get this message to you - assuming that you even read this, on a page where you have no reason to be checking frequently - I just want to raise my unhappiness with your practice of simply deleting comments on your talk page if you don't want them there. It's a very deconstructive way of doing business and highly disingenuous. If you want to keep your talk page clean then fine - I've seen other users who do the same, but they respond by simply cut-pasting my comments back onto my own talk page along with their responses. It must take all of about ten seconds for them to do. The thing about what you do is it relies on me doing all the hard work checking your talk page history (and why should I ever need to check that?) to find that my comments have been deleted. There is no warning for me anywhere that I don't have to search for myself. It's only because I know you're an active user and I happened to find myself thinking about my comment and wondered if you'd replied that I even found it. Under other circumstances, I would never have looked, would've assumed you'd simply ignored me, and I would've gone back and simply reversed your revert of my edit assuming that you were being unreasonable. It did actually take me some time to decide that you weren't just being facetious and simply trying to avoid having to read any dissenting voices against your actions - especially given your history of deleting user talk comments and the way that your userpage paints you in a really bad light.
- Look, to present the tl;dr version - if you want to insist that this discussion happens here, fine. Just, please do something more constructive to actually tell me that. Otherwise I'm going to assume that you're ignoring me and it's going to start a revert war. Falastur2 Talk 09:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- You pinged me. Why wouldn't I read the message? What third time? Do you mean me reverting you, on my talk page where there's an edit notice asking editors to respond on their own talk page if I commented there and to leave a {{talkback}} template? Oh, yeah, I reverted your comments there because you didn't read.
- What was deleted was that they were the league's twentieth franchise in the lede, which is covered in foundation section. Are the references and content needed there? That statement could be restored, but they're not a football club are they? You restored that in the edit as well.
- You didn't leave an edit summary when you made the edit at the article. The fact that I can't read your mind is why you were reverted. That was also the reason I commented here. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2016–17 EFL Trophy into 2017–18 EFL Trophy. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
City players
Not so sure about "continuing", that was my first substantive editing in two years! its not so much the split but the name that jars with me, "contemporary" is something of a misnomer for players who left 14 years ago. If having one list it'd be good to have the extra league/cups detail for the whole list, but also a boatload of work. If making any modification I'd use the opportunity to get rid of the player of the year column, as it is redundant to the table. Plus sorting out the MOSFLAG issues. There are other issues too, of course, which played out on the talk page without much in the way of consensus. I've never really been that happy with the list, but I grew tired of the to and fro with Mancini Lasagne. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
