User talk:Paul Vaurie

April 2020

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Alan Goncalves Sousa, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:06, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Tiémoué Bakayoko, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:06, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Moses Simon, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry, I thought it would be ok if I added a source later on, but I forgot to do so. I’ll make sure to add a source every time I edit! Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:07, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hello. why did you remove my sandbox edit??? 99.127.27.9 (talk) 22:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh what? Sorry, I just went on the sandbox thinking it was only visible to me... I’m new to sandbox Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia sandbox is a public page available to anyone, and may be overwritten of cleared by anyone at any time. You did nothing wrong. Each named user (such as yourself) also has access to his or her own account's sandbox. Just click the "Sandbox" tab at the top of the page. Meters (talk) 04:01, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did you say why did you remove my sandbox edit if I didn’t touch anything? Paul Vaurie (talk) 04:03, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the signatures. I am not the same user as the IP. And I did not say that you "didn't touch anything". You did undo the IP's sandbox edit. I didn't look at it so I have no idea what the content was. I was simply pointing out that you are allowed to do that. Any content in the sandbox can be overwritten or deleted by anyone at any time. There's even an automated bot that will periodically clear the sandbox.In this case the IP in question has a named account and has used his or her own account's sandbox. For whatever reason they are using Wikipedia's sandbox as an IP now, bu they have no basis to complain about you having removed their content. I'd suggest that they might not have realized that they were on Wikipedia's sandbox rather than their own, but it seems obvious that they should have known given that their material was cleared by bots several times. Whatever. Just ignore the IP's complaint. Meters (talk) 04:17, 16 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks! Paul Vaurie (talk) 00:53, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mavididi

Hi there - the issue isn't that there wasn't a source, the issue was that the source did not support your edit. The source says that Mavididi is expected to sign for Montpellier in the future, not that he actually has. We do not predict the future, see WP:CRYSTAL. Giant Snowman 20:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I know that, sorry, I just couldn’t find another source to use because I don’t know how to use the same source twice— I can’t access different parts of the article on mobile. Is it allowed to use the same source twice? Because I don’t know. Thanks. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (July 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Garissone Innocent, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate that one of the sports notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a sportsperson or other subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the sports notability criteria (or other notability criteria) at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:NFOOTY for notability.

There is already a draft on Innocent, which was declined in March because he has not actually played in a competitive match at the fully professional level. This draft still appears to indicate that he has not played in a competitive match at the fully professional level. You may update the existing draft with any additional information about him. If a reliable source shows that he has played in a competitive match in Ligue 1, a draft will be re-reviewed.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Paul Vaurie/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Paul Vaurie/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Paul Vaurie! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Updating caps and stats

Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Robby.is.on (talk) 17:49, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jacky Planchard has been accepted

Jacky Planchard, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Stéphane Masala

Hi. You're right about notability. I can't believe I missed that which would have saved me looking up the clubs he played for and managed to check what league they were in when he was there. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 07:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Also, I want to point out that by the way, one of the citations includes what clubs he played for in what leagues. Have a good day! Paul Vaurie (talk) 14:31, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stub categories

Hi Paul. Categories such as "Category:European football biography stubs" should not be manually added to articles. Instead, articles are automatically categorised into these categories through stub templates like {{France-footy-defender-stub}}. See WP:TAGSTUB for details. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 08:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Mail reference at Jesé

Hi Paul. The Daily Mail reference you added at Jesé needs to be replaced. See WP:DAILYMAIL. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 13:23, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Robby.is.on: Hey Robby. Sorry about that, I removed the reference. Now that I go back and think about it, it was not really necessary to have a reference there in the first place. Anyways, have a good day! Paul Vaurie (talk) 13:29, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thanks for fixing that. Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Play-off matches in Belgian, Dutch and other leagues

Hi Paul. Jérémy Doku's previous stats for the 2018–19 season were correct. You were probably unable to verify this as the reference I'd added a while ago was removed by an IP. I've reinstated the correct numbers with the reference.

The difficulty with the Belgian league (as well as the Dutch and a few others) is that it has play-off matches after the regular season which we don't include in the infobox. Soccerway doesn't make that differentiation whereas Worldfootball.net does, which is why I would also recommend the latter for these leagues. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 12:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Robby.is.on: Sorry about that. Best regards. Paul Vaurie (talk) 13:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I just wanted to make you aware of this convention. Robby.is.on (talk) 13:23, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry et vandalisme

Paul Vaurie Bonjour monsieur, J'ai remarqué beaucoup de vandalisme ces derniers temps, aussi l'adresse IP dont nous discutons sur la page de chat de Giant Snowman est un proxy qui, je suppose, est une chaussette, êtes-vous un administrateur sur cet endroit? Gameshowandsportsfan2007 (talk) 15:21, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gameshowandsportsfan2007: C'est gentil de votre part de parler en Français mais ce n'est pas nécessaire :-) Nous pouvons parler en Anglais, c'est plus facile. Let's speak in English, it's easier for you and for me when editing the English Wikipedia. I am actually not an administrator at all, I only have 2.6K edits and I started editing regularly in August. I am no more experienced than you at this. Robby is a bit more experienced, and GiantSnowman is a veteran -- he has hundreds of thousands of edits. Anyways, thanks for communicating in French, that was nice of you, but I rather speak in English here. Thanks! Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Vaurie: Je pensais que c'était poli de vous parler en français, mais bien sûr, je préfère parler anglais dans une conversation car c'est plus rapide pour moi et je parie que vous parlez mieux l'anglais que le français. Do you know any more tolls other than Wiki Double check for vandal fighting as it’s something i’m trying to help with Gameshowandsportsfan2007 (talk) 15:36, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gameshowandsportsfan2007: I'd say I speak French and English at approximately the same level.

Anyways, back to the subject: I am sadly unable to help you on this topic. You know, I just edit Wikipedia for the fun of it, I'm not really going around like a policeman and fighting IP editing too much. I really haven't ventured too far out of my comfort zone on Wikipedia, there is still a lot I don't know about it. I'm just a passive editor. I don't really know how to help you. Sorry about that. Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Vaurie: i speak French at a lower level than English though i am trying to learn it more. No worries thank you and have a nice day. 15:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gameshowandsportsfan2007: Good to know! Have a nice day! Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:49, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kays Ruiz-Atil

Can you please explain me what was not correct in my edit you undid ? There is only one stay with U15 in end of 2016, according to the source, more precisely in november according to the facebook source you removed. Neither "january 2017" nor "regularly".—Df (talk) 21:21, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Df: Alright, then fix it yourself, but do not make disruptive edits like you did, you made some spelling and grammatical errors in your edit. And Facebook is not a reliable source, that's why I removed it. Now do what you think is best, just try to keep your grammar correct. Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I apologize if I mistreated Shakespeare tongue in any way, though I don't see how (is that U15 that bothers you ?) and I would have expected to be corrected, rather than be reverted. Would it be correct to write "Born in France with Moroccan origins, Ruiz-Atil was selected with Morocco national under-15 football team in November 2016" ?—Df (talk) 02:07, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Df: No it wasn't your writing style, you made a slight spacing error (I should have been more specific, sorry.) Just a misunderstanding. Have a good day. Paul Vaurie (talk) 02:33, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kays Ruiz-Atil nationality

He is Moroccan-French, not only French. He plays for the Moroccan youth teams, so why do you remove my edit?? Atlaslion1912 (talk) 20:17, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Atlaslion1912: Hey, thanks for using your account. Anyways, see WP:ETHNICITY for why he should be considered French and not French-Moroccan in the opening paragraph. Thanks. Paul Vaurie (talk) 14:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the whole page, His Moroccan nationality was mentioned, he has both Nationalities. If people go to his page and read “French footballplayer” they think he s just french, but he is Moroccan either. I think the best solution is, like at other pages, we write “French born Moroccan”. We cant deny his Moroccan nationality. Atlaslion1912 (talk) 16:33, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
