User talk:The Almightey Drill

Please note: To keep this page tidy and reduce risk of lag/crashing I will remove conversations which are dead for over a week. Awards will be put in an appropriate place. For reasons of transparency, all past conversations will still exist in the history, if you really need to look.

Further note for ITN awards: I appreciated these but I do not store these because the awarding is inconsistent. Sometimes I have not been awarded for the nomination, sometimes I have been awarded just for editing. I don't think that nominating something is a meritous act, possibly the only nomination where I was even a major contributor would be the sudden and shocking death of Patrick Ekeng.

Disambiguation link notification for July 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Demba Ba, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tianjin Teda (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Various (OK, just two)

What a fall from grace! Speaking about his article, why do I see sometimes the quotation marks being altered from their original form in articles? I suppose it's some technicality, no?

Don't they have any limits on stupidity in Cyprus? They should (and ONE MONTH AND A HALF before the market closes still)!!

Fábio Coentrão

Hello, why do you believe that his loan move to Monaco should not be it's own sub-section?

Loans

Yes I see that he had earlier loans as well but there is some gray area since those deals included percentage rights such as Rio Ave own like 20 or so % and Benefica etc. There is no need of doing a return heading if he does return and stay at RM as shown with Julian Green's page. While others such as Gerard Deulofeu, Víctor Valdés, Adnan Januzaj, etc. In most cases, loans due get their sub-section.

Doubt

Was I unpolite in any of our recent exchanges (direct or - summaries, etc - indirect)? If so, I sincerely apologize --Be Quiet AL (talk) 23:54, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Be Quiet AL. Not at all. You ask this quite often, which is the sign of a good moral compass. But if ever I feel insulted, I will tell that person. '''tAD''' (talk) 23:56, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That (good moral compass) may be, but also not playing with a full set of marbles :) Okeydokey, I know you will tell it like it is if I ever am a wiki-asshole to someone that does not deserve it (as in this case). Thanks! --Be Quiet AL (talk) 00:20, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I frankly did not know about Geraldo Alves (and strangely enough, I only saw this today, no notification received that I am aware of), but I'll tell you this: if it was similar to what this manager did whilst at Real Madrid (I followed this so I know what the hey am I saying) it amounts to nothing, giving players five or ten minutes when the score was at 4-0 or higher, for example Dani Carvajal received the grand total of ZERO SECONDS during Mourinho's tenure (compare that to what "hated" (with or without quotation marks!) van Gaal did in the early 90s at Ajax, "only" won one European Cup with a squad of kids against Milan). Leaving a comment on a Portuguese web report titled "Mourinho has promoted 26 canteranos" and noting precisely what I wrote before, I was handed the following response: "You are pathetic!". Of course I am, I dared to attack one of the two demi-gods of Portugal... --Be Quiet AL (talk) 17:48, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Be Quiet AL Given the MO at Chelsea in both of his spells (and unfortunately inbetween as well!) I am fully aware that most of the players in that reference were just filling temporary gaps. Right now, there's Ruben Loftus-Cheek, but to stake a claim into Chelsea's attacking midfield is a monumental task if they can buy any player who is better than you '''tAD''' (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Be Quiet AL, well LvG did build another team with an Oranje spine to it - his turn-of-the-millennium Barcelona '''tAD''' (talk) 19:11, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, nobody's perfect is the lesson here... --Be Quiet AL (talk) 20:13, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What the fuck (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carles_Gil&diff=next&oldid=730692106)?! Hate edit (regarding soccer of course, there are far worse out there) if I ever saw one! --Be Quiet AL (talk) 22:02, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

About the reversal

Some of the guys get ticked if you remove a nice article for one that isnt as nice but has the CoD. When we do that, we state that the CoD can be found at such and such link. To check that go to history and look at the remark section. You will find:

Just a heads up as some dont like to be reverted either ;p. Cheers. Sunnydoo (talk) 21:06, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing is that you can put the person in question...in this case Barrie along with Liver Cancer into your news search engine just to check it out. There are a couple more out there now that say the same thing. So if you want to check out for veracity sake, you can do it that way also.
