Hey, You've asked for a documentation of the template – and now you can find it in Template:2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League group matches § Usage. Is there anything else that you'd want to be clarified? Deancarmeli (talk) 21:35, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Deancarmeli: I believe you miss understood my post on your page, some of the other templates you've done, lack documentation on how to use them correctly. That group matches one wasn't specified however I am sure it's helpful. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GUERREIRO IS ALSO PORTUGUESE (DUAL NATIONALITY) !

En france on considère Guerreiro Portugais car il est né de parents Portugais et joue pour le Portugal, son pays d’origine. Vous êtes ridicule les anglais et américains. --81.64.12.21 (talk) 17:57, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@81.64.12.21: Pourquoi m'appelez-vous raciste? [1] Vous m'appelez ridicule pour éliminer la nationalité avant le footballeur. Besoin de souligner, c'est assez bien couvert dans l'article. Je pense que c'est vous qui est ridicule et franchement très impoli. Govvy (talk) 18:59, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Now your turn, Govvy... This guy also pulled that one on me (basically saying the same thing about American/English people - and I am Portuguese like themselves, epic LOL! - but with really really nasty vocabulary), i did not revert anything they added in the Guerreiro article and also write them a polite message in French (as you did just above these lines), they return to editing and refuse to issue any kind of apology, then "taking it up a notch" by being aggressive to another editor? What the fudge?!

You have a nice day, cheers from "America" --193.137.135.2 (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@193.137.135.2: Don't know why you reverted, but I didn't see the need to reply. Nothing wrong with what you wrote, thought it was funny. Govvy (talk) 20:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, nothing personal. When i don't get a reply after writing a message i always think i'm imposing, and don't want to bother anyone. Continue the good work (me, 15 years and counting, but have resorted to IP editing due to merciless stalking of my work, for reasons that elude me), have a nice day :) --193.137.135.2 (talk) 12:17, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@193.137.135.2: Imposing? That seems a rather defensive statement of ones self. Some people like anonymity, however IPs don't really get credit on wikipedia, most of the time editors frown on those that edit only from an IP. If not most of the time it's what people troll from, most vandalism is from. So the IP, the number is no more or less than a name. An IP editor can be seen as an editor without identity. Creating a username not only gives you an identity, but allows users to form respect and a bond to that username, which in turn does also allow that username to acquire the super-user rights of editing on wikipedia. There are far more advantages to editing from a username than the IP. If you edit in a neutral capacity and can avoid those ruthless that haunt places like WP:ANI you should be fine with a username.

Could not agree more, thanks for input! --193.137.135.2 (talk) 12:49, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mark Walters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Andrew Watson.

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

New Page Review queue September 2021

Hello Govvy,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
