[edit]Hello! I think you should remove the "World Soccer Player of the Year"-Awards from the subitem "Individual honours". There are hundreds of magazines that vote their "Player of the Year" and so this awards are no major honour for me. It's good, when it's mentioned on the respective players site, but on the teams site it's needless. Bye! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bergpavian (talk • contribs) 16:52, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Zlatan Ibrahimović
[edit]Hi. I'm writing here because I've seen that you protected the Zlatan Ibrahimović page. I'd like to point out that some users keep on writing wrong pieces of information on that page. I'm referring to the section "Honours", where the subsection Juventus should be deleted, since no title was actually won during that period. A note where just "Calciopoli" is written doesn't make sense as well. Bye, --WTer (talk) 14:21, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Topklasse
[edit]Regarding the article about the 2010–11 Topklasse season. With 32 clubs, the map of teams will end up very crowded. What do you say about using two maps in the article, one for the Saturday division and one for Sunday? 94.212.31.237 (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think we can create the two maps. We know eleven Saturday clubs and nine Sunday clubs, so 20 out of a total of 32 clubs. TOP Oss will remain relegated as long as Veendam hasn't been declared bankrupt, so at the moment the only question is in which division TOP Oss will play. Imo it is sufficient to add a small note (footnote?) stating that the division they will play in hasn't been decided yet. If you want I can create the draft maps on the talk page. 94.212.31.237 (talk) 21:22, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Andrea Agnelli. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
The article Andrea Agnelli has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

notification of AFD
[edit]Hi, is there any reason that you don't notify creators of articles when you nominate them for deletion? Or did I just miss the message? Off2riorob (talk) 15:46, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's not mandatory to notify users about ongoing AfDs involving articles created by them, and personally I do not agree with such a suggestion, since I consider a creator as having the same role as all other editors in an article, and notifying all of them is in my opinion just too much effort for a simple deletion nomination. That's all, really nothing against you. Regards, -(User:Angelo.romano 11:17 am, Today (UTC+1)
Just because it is not mandatory doesn't make it alright. Personally I think it is rude to belittle a contributors work without even the respect of letting him have a note to allow him to defend it. Thanks for your comment. Off2riorob (talk) 12:40, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Parma Squad

As you can probably guess, I'm new around here and the only thing I could find was this, which is what led to me including all those who have been assigned squad numbers, as well as the recent signings, which perhaps made the page a bit bloated!

[edit]Okay, well I was just trying to be helpful and add something informative to Wikipedia Mr Arrogantio. I hope you appreciate that (Stevo1000 Talk 21:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- "Attacking you"? Please, here in Britain we have a thing called a 'sense of humour', "Mr Arrogantio" is clearly not an "attack". And no, of course I am not aware of the WP:NPA, simply because I don't go round "attacking" other users and don't have other problems with other Wikipedeans. All I'm asking is that you appreciate my efforts on Wikipedia. If it wasn't for people like me and many other Wikipedeans then this encyclopedia would be nothing, you need to realise that. Furthermore Mancini is in charge of transfers, not anyone else like Marwood or Cook. I just thought a transfer box for Mancini's page would be informative due to Manchester City spending a lot of money. Kind regards offended one (Stevo1000 Talk 13:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

re: Deletion of Spurs 3-4 Man City and Man City 4-1 Spurs
[edit]Angelo. Just to quickly say: I appreciate the reasons for your nominating the above articles for deletion, and they were duly deleted which I guess justifies your decision, but kindly in future please actually notify the people whom it concerns of your decision. I can't ever quite understand why users - particularly administrators, who are upheld as the pinnacle of Wikipedia usage, would ever nominate an article for deletion and not actually tell the article creator and other significant contributors that it was about to be deleted - and those articles only had two contributors... I had no idea that the 4-1 article was even up for deletion or I would have commented - I've lost my chance to preserve the 4-1 article on a subpage now because of that too. Of course, I created neither and I could accept that I wasn't informed, but Stevo1000 made it clear to me that you hadn't informed him either. On top of that, you also nominated both articles for deletion on the back of a two-hour debate in WikiProject Football, before you had a chance to gain any different opinions.
Please get me straight here: I'm not trying to shout at you or force you to take your deletions back - I say all of this perfectly calmly and I accept the situation. On top of that, you are of course an admin and I am not. I simply hope that you might think about my words and give a little thought next time you nominate for deletion. If you can provide a reason for not doing so I would be quite happy to accept your argument, take mine back and support you next time. I simply think that your actions here were somewhat...presumptive, and one-sided. I've seen other articles nominated for deletion (not by yourself, I admit) where anyone willing to defend (including the guy who made the article) only had about 1 day to respond because they found the deletion request so late on, and frankly this is one of my pet hates about AfD. Falastur2 Talk 21:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- First of, fair enough if you can still access the deleted file: if you could copy the 4-1 article (I already saved the other) to this page I would be grateful.
- Secondly, you have me wrong. I wasn't saying that Stevo1000 only got one day to defend, because he clearly got longer. What I'm saying is that I've seen other AfDs before where the refusal of the nominator to tell involved users about the AfD has meant that with only a few hours to go have any Keep votes come in, by which time the closing admin has pretty much already made up his mind, and the defending arguments are too hurried and angry to make a good impression. And my comment about you being an admin wasn't to suggest that you made your actions because only an admin can - I'm well aware that anyone can propose an AfD - I merely meant to suggest that admins often don't like being told their job and were you to take offence to my comments and view them as spiteful - and let's face it, text-based communication over the internet doesn't exactly convey emotions very well, so a sincere comment is often read as a personal attack - well sufficed to say I wasn't looking to get banned right now...

[edit]Hi, I randomly picked you as an active user out of the category "Wikipedians in the Netherlands". I'm looking for someone who can understand enough Dutch to use this article as a reference in Imrich Lobo, an unreferenced BLP. I actually can't even swear that the article is in Dutch (that's what it looks like to me, but I'm not really familiar with it), so if I'm wrong, I apologize.

Fair use rationale for File:Red Rose (Socialism).svg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Red Rose (Socialism).svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hammersoft (talk) 23:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:US Avellino Logo.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:US Avellino Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 04:09, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Added template for SuggestBot
[edit]Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 19:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
