How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Refs directly below peaks

In response to this edit summary, even though I was not the editor who placed it there, citations placed directly below the peak are common all across Wikipedia, especially in longer wikitables and particularly when they're only intended to serve as a temporary source until the citation in the column header updates with the data (as those are usually links to permanent archives). If you find this a mess, just saying, you're going to be very debilitated perusing a lot of other discographies of artists currently charting... in my opinion it's totally fine.

Source review/Gills/Evans

Hey Chris, sorry I didn't get to the source review, I've had a real shit-ton of personal stuff going down since Xmas and it's really limited my availability and enthusiasm, but glad it's been addressed. I hope you didn't even look at the highlights for yesterday's game, if this is a "new era" of ITFC then I'm already sold. It was men vs boys etc etc. And as for Evans, well I suppose good riddance... Hope all is well with you. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: sorry to hear you've been going through some rough times, hope there's a positive end in sight. I've seen the goals from yesterday and could not believe the quality of the defending. It reminded me of the standard of play the year we came second bottom of the whole Football League. Coincidentally I've just put that season's article up at FAC if you had the time to look at it. If not don't worry, I totally understand. All the best -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:23, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Table sorting

Hi,

I noted that you provided your support for my recent FLC (thanks!), although there was the outstanding point of the table not sorting correctly. I am not sure if that corrected itself via the edits I made, or if it is still an issue. If it is, can you advise how to fix it?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 14:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

@EnigmaMcmxc: - whoops, I missed that that was still outstanding! I've put in a fix for it now. It's no perfect because of the fact that the order goes 2 > 3 > 2 > Acting > 2, but I think it's the best possible option..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hi. Do lacks of information impact to a GA/FA/FL review if it's not possible to find the lacking information? Dr Salvus 08:36, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus: - what do you mean by "lack of information"? Can you give me an example of an article and the information that is lacking? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:39, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

For example, List of Coppa Italia finals hasn't got any information related to the attendance of many finals but I didn't manage to find it at all. Would it impact to a review? Dr Salvus 08:49, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Well, that article has already been unsuccessful at WP:FLC three times, and last time one reviewer specifically mentioned the lack of attendance data as a problem, so I think that answers the question...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:57, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

WP:FAR

Hello Chris,

I have qustion to you beause of I found you as editor who constribute "about football" on Wikipedia and has experience about "FA/GA". I had on my mind to report into WP:FAR but unfortunetly I found point in regulamin Before nomination, raise issues at talk page of the article. Attempt to directly resolve issues with the existing community of article editors, and to informally improve the article over at least a two-week period. Articles in this step are not listed on this page., what that excatly means? I did not tried correct the article except two small changes, but I think this article is too bad for FA and I would prefer to controversial topic does not be marked as featured on Wikipedia. Based on what I can see I believe featured article does not meet WP:FAC's criteria: comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context;, and based on what Length. It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail and uses summary style. means I think this article could at least include: 1Info about criticism of Ballon d or after 2007 by Cruyff (It is not detail. Ballon d or is France football, Cruyff was first who won the award three times and regarded as Eurpean player of the century by UEFF, not?) 2 Info about criticism by Philip Lahm (Philip Lahm won 2014 World Cup as captain during middle of Messi-Ronaldo rivalry so it is not detail of random journalist or random great player, not?) 3Perhaps something more about criticism of canceling Ballon d or in 2020 due to Covid Pandemic? what do you think? 4Perhaps few more other details, for example I found interesing fact Bobby Charlton won Ballon d Or in 1966 despite fact Eusebio was first player in history of football who won British award BBC Sports Personality World Sport Star of the Year and ahivemented record which Critiano and Messi never did (top goalsscorer at either of World Cup and Champions League). Dawid20095 Perhaps information about criticism of !voting by sport-related personalities from small countries (like coaches of national teams from Oceania and such). This stuff of course is too long to we include every single opinion on that but I think we could add at least info about 2015 controversy when FIFA Ballon d'Or changed back into Ballon d'Or, this year Cristiano,Messi,Neymar combinetly got 77,1% of all "points of !votes". (talk) 09:48, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Probably both, Ballon d'Or and Ballon d'Or Féminin needs some work. For eample featured article Ballon d'Or does not include information about additional awwards "stricker of the year" etc. Cheers. Dawid2009 (talk) 10:16, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

@Dawid2009: (talk page stalker) no doubt Chris will have some advice for you too, but I can respond a bit here - first of all, the page Ballon d'Or is actually not a featured article, it's a featured list. This is quite confusing actually, as in many ways with the history section as it is, it's more of an article than a list and the golden star looks like it could make it an FA. But anyway, the procedure for Featured List is slightly different and probably simpler than FAR - details are at Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates. I do agree that it seems to have quite a few issues, and I'm wondering if the lists are even properly referenced at the moment. Secondly, for future reference, on your query about FAR and resolving issues on the talk page (even though it doesn't really apply here) - the procedure is pretty much as written - before starting an FAR, you should first start a section on the talk page of the affected article, listing all your concerns about it. This gives users watching the talk page a chance to respond, either defending the article or promising to make improvements, before the formal process of FAR begins. If you follow this step and there is no response within two weeks, or you're not satisfied with the response, then that's when you go on and open up a FAR. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 10:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Chris, @Amakuru: after more than one moth there is still no answers on talk page. What do you think to I start my suggested version tenatively at my sandbox or Polish Wikipedia. It is also noteworthy meanwhile time (just eighteen days after I posted on Chris' talk page!: [1]) Frane Football made reformation at criteria (one season is counted, instead one year, only top 100 ountries from FIFA ranking can !vote and team achivements are less significant than individual statistics). I think it is time to create "controversy/criticism section" in that article. At very lesat sources which claim that Cruyff supported Xavi over Messi at 2010/2011 and Toni Kroos ahead of Cristiano in 2014 IMHO should remain. Info about plans also should be mentioned in that article, excatly next to the thing which remind about Cruyff's criticism that Ballon'dOr owdays do not consider team chivements and is not cultivative continuation (There are sources that Cruyff said, Ballon d Or should not be award fr currently the best player on the planet but cultivatively for player with most achivements like in 1956-2006). What do you think? Can you help? Dawid2009 (talk) 15:06, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I already dit it here, feel free to give me feedback. I hope you could help on ENwiki one day. Best regards. Dawid2009 (talk) 12:21, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Prepositions at the end of a sentence

I saw you changed that sentence back; it's fine if you really prefer it that way, but take a look at this if you get a chance. It's not an English grammar rule; it's almost impossible to find a style guide that says you should not end a sentence with a preposition. I know people will sometimes revert it if they see it, because they think it is a rule, but I wouldn't allow that to get in the way of readability.

Disruptive editor

Hi Chris, hope you're well. There's a volatile football editor (this one) going around making big changes, tons of which had to be reverted; also nominating 'Derby' articles for deletion (i.e. rivalry, not 'the Rams'), rarely adding sources, and causing hours of extra work for editors. They're new, haven't read any guidelines and seem to be seeking confrontation.

Some of the weirdest is detailed below – that I wrote on User talk:Seany91. I'm too mentally fragile a.t.m. to handle conflict, and it might be above my pay grade anyway, but HiddenFace had a couple of warning-type posts already. Would you be able to figure out the appropriate step to take?

(quote) 'Is there an administrator warning they can give, along the lines of, "Cool Your Jets"? This person had dozens of Women's World Cup edits removed, then added the nonexistent "2027" tournament to dozens of women's national team articles. Combative attitude on them, too. I reverted some of that but it was so much. They're also categorizing players' heritage and other people's heritage seemingly based only on their surnames, no sources. The edits to Léa Khelifi and Jada Mathyssen-Whyman I'm certain were untrue, and reverted Łukasz Bejger, Romāns Kvačovs, Vasily Potto, Ivan Bakanov and Oleksii Reznikov – these last two are active politicians in Ukraine, so, it's important not to spread dubious information, one would think...' – Thank you, Demokra (talk) 08:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

GKN Sankey F.C. players

As you are the user who removed the list of Notable Players from the article on GKN Sankey F.C., better say I didn't know until tonight there existed a longish category list of players for the club. Thank you, I agree replacing them with a direct to the category list is an improvement except it would be appreciated if you had made sure that all three were already in the category list - two names are on the category list (I made sure one, Johnny Hancocks, was) but I wasn't able to check if the other one was as I lost memory of his name.Cloptonson (talk) 20:12, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

List of accolades received by If Beale Street Could Talk FLC

Hi there,

I was wondering if you could review List of accolades received by If Beale Street Could Talk for its pending featured list promotion. I would appreciate the feedback. Warning: I will not be able to respond to your queries until May 23 because its my birthday.

A bit of a mess at John McKnight (English footballer)

I did some further research and found that McKinght did not actually join Darwen until March 1893; prior to that (and in the reports of his play referenced in the first paragraph), he was with Middlesbrough Ironopolis F.C.; the article cited in the first paragraph, while mentioning Darwen earlier on, is discussing Middlesbrough in the part where McKnight is mentioned. I wanted to be very sure that this was the same person, and found two papers reporting the connection: "McKnight, the centre-forward of the Middlesbrough Club, has been engaged by Darwen", "Sports and Pastimes", The Nottingham Evening Post (27 March 1893), p. 4; and, most intriguing, "McKnight, ex- Grimsby, ex-Aston Villa, ex-Middlesboro, ex-nearly everywhere, is likely to leave Darwen for Ardwick", "Bravities", The Walsall Advertiser (28 October 1893), p. 4.

• I think I have it sorted at this point. BD2412 T 19:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
  • @BD2412: - nice one! One quick point - Middlesbrough Ironopolis should never be piped to simply "Middlesbrough" because of the existence of Middlesbrough F.C. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:37, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey, how's it going? I see you've reviewed football-related articles for FA in recent years. A.C. Monza has been a candidate for over three weeks, and there are almost no comments.

How far back

can you go with the Gillingham seasons? I'm curious. You have a great production line going, but presumably you'll run out of sources at some point in the 70s or 60s and have to do decade summaries or something like that? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:55, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: - I think it probably hinges on the quality/amount of information available in digitised newspapers. I've got stat books which give all the bare facts of results, attendances, goalscorers, etc all the way back to when the club was formed in 1893, but for a FA I think people would look for quite a bit more depth than that. I have the club's official centenary book published back in the early 90s, which gives a 2-3 page prose account of every individual season, but that's a primary source of course. Having said that, the next one I have ready to go is from the early 60s and I was able to use an absolute ton of sources from newspapers for that...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

BTW @Mike Christie: if you were by any chance able to spare the time to look at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1963–64 Gillingham F.C. season/archive1, that would be wonderful. If not, no worries -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:47, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm on a GA reviewing spree at the moment and will probably keep on with that for now, or at least till I put up another FAC. You have two supports so you should be safe against archiving for a while. If it's still sitting there needing reviews when I get back to FAC I will be glad to review it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:18, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: no problem :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:21, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: hope you are well - in response to your question about how far back I can go with Gillingham season articles, I have an update - I hope to soon nominate 1905–06 New Brompton F.C. season for FA (New Brompton was the name of the club until 1912) :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:00, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Outstanding. It would be quite a feat to get all of them to GA; getting them all to FA would take years, but you can probably get 10-15 promoted per year, so maybe 8 or 9 years? That would be extremely cool. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:19, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Review

Hey Chris, I hope you’re well. I was wondering if you could conduct a source review (for formatting and reliability) for my FAC. I’m not sure how often or if you generally source-review FACs, but I requested one at WT:FACSR almost 20 days ago and no response yet.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues

Hello Chriss, I have some quotions reltd with that page:

1Would you mind to remove from that template: { { historical } }

2This list is very helful in terms of regarding notblity at Afd. Would you mind to create wieder tble which would also include 'seprate column for sources', 'separate column for "best achivement at IFFHS ranking of the leagues"' and separate sections for: 1Proffesioonal leagues at national level 2Lower divisions which are considered as proffesional 3Leagues at national level not considered as proffesional (currently thre is 1st and 3rd option but no 2nd)

What do you think? I would also like to very slightly change/update guidelines for notablity of football players but firstly I would like to correct this xtremally long (453 references) page, would you able to help me? It is very big. Cheers Dawid2009 (talk) 14:39, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

@Dawid2009: TBH I wouldn't bother spending time re-arranging that page. The "played in a fully professional league" defence is no longer valid at AfD so I think making changes to that page would be a waste of effort -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:29, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

OK. I understand (BTW, out of curiosity where was that discussion when "fully prffesionall argument" was declined?). So what do you think to add into "infobox about league information about "highest IFFHS ranking"? I am pretty sure that would be helpful at Afd to judge how strong is league. At infobox about national teams we have info about "highest ranking FIFA". Which page I would have to edit if I want inroduce that parameter into infobox? I do not think it would be waste of time because of it is much easier than re-arraging that page, in fact that would be pleasure to edit every artile about league and add that info. I am not great fun of IFFHS but I am alo not great fun of "ranking FIFA" and at last for now IFFHS is the only ranking from global perspective which judge level of leagues. Here is example of last update. Cheers. Dawid2009 (talk) 06:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@Dawid2009: - see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability for the discussion about sports notability (including the arguments about "fully pro leagues"). If you want to amend an infobox you really need to start a discussion at WT:FOOTY. I can't make that decision by myself..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:57, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Frankly I have ambivalent thoughts about new guidelines about notablity, especially in terms of believing that Google/Internet is so strongly focussed on significant coverage. Look, what if Stuart Cash will be obscure in next dozen years after retirement of Matty Cash (his son), meanwhile Kendall Velox will be remembered at legacy of his country for most appearances? Regardless of what Internet say (not everything is findable on the Internet, at least not all books), I believe our guidelines are not lenient for international players and not strict for plauyers from lower legues. What I could find so far on other Wikipedias (for example Polish and Spanish) every footballer who played 'one international match is more notable than star from lower leagues who never played international match or at top division level. Out of curiosity what is your subjective opinion aout that ?(I did not start discusssion at wikiproject as I am not going to ask that in near fitire but I am curious what you think about it personally, frankly you can of curse diasgree with me). Have you ever wondering about such "boardline of notablity accidents" a ka "player from lower legues which meets significant coverage but not wp:anybio" vs "topplayer from very small country which does not meet signifiant coverage but of course meet wp:anybio"?

Hi! After you thanked me for my 1923 FA Cup final edit I took a look at your user page and see you have a lot of experience doing early 20th century association football article research.

Reverting edits

Sorry Chris, but why you do you and Number57 care so much about the honours page when I provided more information: The season that was played was linked The appropriate tiers were shown

For example for teams like Dartford you realise you realise how big the trophies that they won were.

I’ve tried to make it more like that of Manchester United and Liverpool and other big clubs I’m sorry I was genuinely trying to make the pages look better You and Number57 have been extremely uncooperative and actually quite unfriendly.
