In realtion to your comments about my entry on this person "still unsourced, still too much detail for this article" I happen to be related to him and grew up in the local area and I knew his Father when he was a live I also knew his brother too from when I lived in the area. So please don't just assume things and undo my information. What right have you to say that it is "still too much detail for this article" do you own it or something? --Man From Midfield (talk) 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Why do not you get something more useful to do? It is protecting vandal and bothering collaborating here.--Josepolivares (talk) 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Career stats tables

Hi. Thanks for your constructive advice on referencing football stats. Had (slowly) been realising the limitations myself. Will use correct soccerway ref from now on, cheers.

If you have the time, there are one or two other questions. ="x" or =x What's the difference? If there's no difference, why do so many people use the quotes?

No difference, AFAIK. Possibly a legacy issue: I'm no expert on HTML markup of years gone by, or how closely the implementation of wiki-markup followed it, but it could be that the quotes were required in the past and no longer are.

If there's no difference, why change either way?

Personal prejudice taste? Or consistency, if usage differs within the same table.

Is there a real problem with using Template:Fb team template? Seems easy; which is suspicious in itself!

When you want to refer to a template without calling it, use the markup [[Template:fb team]] or {{tlx|fb team}}, both of which generate something readable: Template:fb team or {{fb team}}.

There have been umpteen instances of consensus to get rid of the fb team templates – search for "fb team" via the "search archives" box on WT:FOOTY – because they add little and clutter the pages they're used in with template calls, which can cause loading and execution issues in large pages. Nobody's actually done the work involved yet, but it could still happen... As to ease, it's actually easier IMO to just copypaste the link from elsewhere in the article.

Why do many tables (including the one in the guideline) use vcentre at the beginning of cells when the whole table is centered?

Again, possibly a legacy issue. Perhaps browser defaults used to differ. Or wiki implementation used to default to something else. Dunno.

Anyway, cheers once again. Have a good day. Green daemon (talk) 10:58, 30 July 2017 (UTC) Green daemon (talk) 10:58, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

@Green daemon: Replied here for ease of dealing with multiple questions. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppet?

Hi Struway2, do you possibly think that the user Petermack18 may be a sockpuppet of AH999 - the name is very similar to the name Peter18Mack, except the number is moved to the end and the 'm' is not capitalised. The users=Peter18Mack&users=Petermack18&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki contributions found contain some of the same pages as one another, mainly in the category of Scottish football. Also the timing of the contributions made by both users do not overlap each other which might mean there could be block evasion. See what your verdict is on that.

@Iggy the Swan: It appears to be the same editor as Peter18Mack, which means that editor is block evading. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

We've given the user enough WP:ROPE - the man has been hanged and it may be over soon. Iggy (Swan) 18:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, per my comment and explanation, may you remove your request of CSDG4, as it is clearly not admissible per my explanation. Thank you and best regards fr. / Avaay (talk) 22:21, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello

Hi mate, how are you. I looked into your answer, and mate I think you're a little bit off, may I ask you to answer the subject is accepted through GNG? I am not asking you for a favor, rather I'll explain to you why so that you can with ethics change your answer. The subject in the matter is an icon for Ethiopian football, he's been in Ethiopian radios, following with his words in an interview appearing in EBC TV which is the central and government TV channel of Ethiopia. DireTube as well is not close to a blog, or routine page but Ethiopia's biggest platform where over 200 people actually commented on the subject and he was spoken about in a highly matter showing very high coverage. I don't want to become a hypocrite and saying that it would be hypocritical to delete this subject when we accept thai-players who has only played 1 or 2 games in the league but sources are fully or almost over fully not reliable, it might as well been a page created and edited by someone... You understand my point mate? All in all, I knew you considered GNG and I sent you this so that you could hopefully if nice change you answer, he is very suited for note via GNG, and for ethics sake for you to change your answer he's suited via following:"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material., <-- he has been in an exclusive interview with what I know two Swedish newspapers (or could be more I only know 2) who wrote him in the first page with a fully page on only him, he had a full interview in radio that many small Ethiopian TV channels broadcasted and the major EBC TV aswell... I am counting on you pal and I have now giving you reason to change your answer, think of it as a favor to me but with ethics as well... and by the way may you note that it dosn't matter if he fails WP:FOOTY if he's acceptable to GNG which he is to the person who was against it in the discussion, if you want I can send you puctures of him in the magazine and at 11:13 January4 he was recorded in Aftonbladet silly season notice and he blew in swedish-football community where everyone talked about him, and about a week ago he was in radio where he himself admitted that a possible move is in the coming months... again GNG is via ethiopia and his adimre alongside EFF-president who spoke so highly of him. Thank my friend, I hope you see this and change your answer, your best/Avaay (talk)

• Your answer is incorrect my friend, in Sweden he has been in magazine with them being the first primary source, not some website called o-post, that is irrelevant. A flipping football president said he ist he future star! and he has nor might play but he has been called up and contacted by the FA says swedish newspapers.....Avaay (talk)
