You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (84.124.224.222) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}}
before the question on this page.
Again, welcome! The Phase Master 18:30, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

[edit]To quote from WP:INDISCRIMINATE:
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information
To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia articles should not be: [...]
3. Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context. [and, well, common sense, that articles shouldn't solely be excessive listings of statistics]
In the current state, your persistent addition of trivial statistical distinctions, is not helpful to the average reader (or in fact to any reader), in addition to making the article way too large. Even just the whole top 100 might be too much: the official rankings only keep the top 20, see FIFA World Rankings and FIFA Women's World Rankings. If you are the owner of the website, take note that Wikipedia is not a webhost for your personal projects and that in addition, editing articles on which one has a conflict of interest is frowned upon...

- Please note that on Wikipedia, communication is required. Please tell, what are your reasons for persistently adding all of these statistics, some of which probably aren't even correlated with anything useful? RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 15:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi. You've been told multiple times that this is not useful. Will you please hear us and take a moment to discuss this? The proper place is either at Talk:World Football Elo Ratings; or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 14:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Last warning: Stop re-adding indiscrimate information without a WP:CONSENSUS to do so. The correct way to get a WP:CONSENSUS is a discussion at Talk:World Football Elo Ratings or WT:FOOTY. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:10, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
