King, happy to help contribute to the Argentine football section. Hope you rest up in this offseason and come back ready for the new season. -- Discus26 22:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Juan David Moreno[edit]

Hi, KotNE! The article Juan David Moreno, who is claimed to play for Millonarios in the Copa Mustang, has been recreated after being prodded as being unverifiable. Do you know of any sources that might be used to verify that this chap exists and has actually played for Millonarios? Cheers, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of reply at WP:FOOTY - I found this page which includes Juan David Moreno in the Medellín squad (in the grey box to the right). Other than trivial references like this linking him with the "wrong" club, I can find nothing. I'd say AfD it as unverifiable. King of the North East 19:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement sucks[edit]

Hey there, KING, VASCO here,

I saw your reverting of my edit on Roger García Junyent, as i wrote Retired in currentclub, and you removed it, claming it was "...not a club". Sorry if i screwed up, but i have seen tons of articles where it appeared, and thought it was a pattern. And it does make sense after all, because i think it would be the same that has to have - CURRENTCLUB - NONE ("none" meaning the same as "retired").

Anyways, sorry for any incovenience, have a nice week,

Category moves[edit]

I noticed that you have moved several rugby categories such as Category:Widnes Vikings players to other names. It is usual practice to propose such moves at WP:CfD, if there is consensus for the move the category can be moved automatically. Changing them in the manner that you have been doing destroys the page history, could you seek consensus at CfD before you carry out any more page moves? King of the North East 23:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've still not the hang of this User talk, but here goes... There were about 40-50 players in Category:Widnes Vikings players and 40-50 players in Category:Widnes Vikings rugby league players. As the majority of teams in Category:Rugby league players by club have the suffix rugby league players, I thought it best to move 'Widnes Vikings players' manually into 'Widnes Vikings rugby league players'. If there is an automatic move, that'd be great as there are a number of other anomalies between '...players' and '...rugby league players'.

[Team ...players ...rugby league players]
[Bradford Bulls 90 33]
[Castleford Tigers 90 9]
[Huddersfield Giants 85 9]
[Hull Kingston Rovers 83 1]
[London Broncos 122 58] (Note the 58 are Harleguins RL)
[Salford City Reds 83 2]
[Wigan Warriors 95 59]

Hi KOTNE. I understand why you removed the PRODs, but I still feel the articles aren't notable, and so have taken them to an AfD discussion, where I have expanded my reasoning. Regards, Giant Snowman 01:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Listasbot watchlist glitch[edit]

Hum, I hadn't noticed that. The account has the bot flag set, it's marking its edits as bot edits, but looking at Special:RecentChanges, the edits still show up on the list. However, it appears that I'm not the only one having that problem, as I see at least one other bot on the list. Thanks for letting me know, I'll bring it up and see if I can get someone to answer.

La Florida (Tucuman)[edit]

Where is Leales and how did you find out that info on the club's location. As far as I can tell from the La Florida y Luisiana.es page (can't seem to post a link to it) La Florida is part of Greater San Miguel (eastern side), although confusingly some of the links on the web page point to a La Florida to the south-west of San Miguel, between Concepcion and Monteros, but there's nothing there when you look at Google Earth. Regards Eldumpo (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. I have had a further look and think it is in Eastern Tucuman (as it is in Cruz Alta Department) and so have made the change to the club's location (and created a La Florida y Luisiana page). Eldumpo (talk) 19:27, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rosario Puerto Belgrano[edit]

According to rsssf [[1]] they are not playing in this year's 5th level interior, although they are listed as playing in that from the Wiki club list pages. Their website [[2]] shows they are still active and playing in this year's Liga del sur (Bahia Blanca). Assuming this is all correct, should RPB move to the Local Leagues section of the list?

Hello. Thank you for the barnstar. It is always a pleasure talking with you, and I'm glad you've taken the time to point me in the right direction in terms of making WP better.

Juan Gilberto Funes[edit]

Hi! No chance of findings his stats in France: he never played for any French club. Don't know why it was added to the article. Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 06:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, but I'm 100% sure. He doesn't appear in my book about foreign players in France, neither on clubs sites.Strange.--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt about that; I would have found something. For RSSSF here he played for Olympiacos from 1987 to 89. For playerhistory he never played in France see here. These French clubs should be removed, for sure. Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:38, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi King. Reading the comments in the discussion page we made wiki:soccer , I noteced that my coment towards you may have been interpreted in two different ways (normal/offensive). I hope you know I didn´t ment to be offensive in any way. I just told you the thing about Yugoslavia not having belonged to Soviet Union or Warsaw Pact, but while reading it I noteced that you may have tought I was offended.

Juventud Alianza & other Argentine[edit]

Where did you get the 1973 foundation date from - the Spanish page says 1905. Did the original Juventud merge with 1 or more teams to become JA? Eldumpo (talk) 11:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1. I've added a note saying about their name change (see Sanjuanina list of champs for guide), which is slightly supposition as it could've been a merger, but at least it clarifies (see 1967 Nacional change) - couldn't find sources to confirm.

2. Is there any organisation from WpAf with regards to updating the List of Argentine clubs (based on 09/10 leagues), and then for each club their infobox and 1st para write-ups. I'm happy to split things by league with you or other editors, or is it just done as and when by individuals?

3. Do you know whether either of the 3rd level leagues is fully professional, and do you have sources confirming professional leagues in Argentina? (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues)

Criteria for notable players[edit]

Hi, its good to see you are editing again. I'd like to ask you about the criteria for the notable players section. The minimum of 50 games seems too easy to achieve for a player to qualify as "notable". For example I've seen that Leandro Fleitas is named as a notable former player of Argentinos Jrs. which is simply ridicolous. And the problem works both ways, for example with Antony de Ávila in Unión who played only 37 games but his histoy with his national team makes him worthy of a mention in the section.

Maybe we could state this as the criteria: "To appear in this section a player must have either played at least 50 games for the club, set a club record and/or played officially for their national team." And expand it to 100 games for bigger teams.

Anyway, what do you think? Greets. --Fache (talk) 21:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that 50 appearances is setting the criteria a bit low, but it was done to set a minimal standard. Ideally it would be better to create articles like these (from the Premier League and the 5th level of English football) for the established Primera División teams. I think simply having played international football in their career is too low for for the big teams, but would certainly be enough for smaller teams (DyJ, CAI etc). I think it would be best to introduce some criteria to all the notable player sections to stop them being POV lists. It doesn't really matter if the criteria are slightly different for each team, or to easily acheivable as long as we have some to start with. Once they are introduced they can be modified and improved. Other potential criteria could be record transfer fees in and out of the club, league top scorer while at the club, won a major honour or played in a major final with the club (Huracán, CJ, Lanús, Talleres, Unión, GELP), played in the top flight with the club (Los Andes, Huracán TA, AHZ). King of the North East 11:21, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I understand. Regarding national teams the criteria for bigger teams could be that a player made more than 30 international appearences and/or played a World Cup. Greets. --Fache (talk) 20:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Morales[edit]

Hi. To avoid making the article so enormous we decided with Discus26 that it was better to add 3 general references (see List of Primera División Argentina football transfers - 2009-10#General references) and only specific ones for the transfers which were not listed in any one of those general. Morales' transfer is specified in this general reference: [3]. I've been looking to verify the info and found this: derf says that Morales was released from his contract and Clarín blog names him in Arsenal's reserve squad. Hope I could help, greets. --Fache (talk) 21:49, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

re: Mario1987's sockpuppet[edit]

Hello again. Glad to see that you are still editing, and it is good to hear from you. I will make a note to check those articles. It's actually quite disappointing because I had an exchange with Mario1987 a few months ago where he seemed to finally understand what he ought to do with footballer articles and that he even planned to help. Obviously, I was misled. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Estudiantes nicknames.[edit]

Please, do yourself a favor and make up your mind. You wrote first, further removal could be considered vandalism and immediately afterwards you remarked, without sources it is not against the rules to remove them. That doesn't make much sense, as you're contradicting yourself. Anyhow, leaving that aside, here are some sources, just in case you need them:

Los Pincharratas:

El León:

El Orgullo de la Ciudad:

FIFA

Tetracampeón:

Canchallena.com

Most of the references for Los Capos de La Plata, as you can see here, can be found in blogs, fotologs, message boards, fansites, and the like. I wonder if they could be included as well. It would make sense, since we are talking about fan support here.

Oh, and by the way, do note that other articles such as A.C. Milan, PFC CSKA Moscow, SV Werder Bremen, Paris Saint-Germain F.C., and others do not show any sources for the nicknames they refer to, so I'm sure Wikipedia's policy on this is not as strict as it would seem to be. --190.19.19.112 (talk) 21:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"If you find reliable sources that use the nicknames and reference them, further removal could be considered vandalism. Without sources it is not against the rules to remove them. Regards. King of the North East 19:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)"[reply]

I didn't think this was too hard to understand? 1) If they are reliably sourced removal could be considered vandalism, 2) if they are not reliably sourced it is not against the rules to remove them. As far as I can tell this isn't contradictory. Whoever keeps removing those nicknames clearly thinks that they are controversial, if you want to stop this individual removng them repeatedly, perhaps if you use some sources to show that they are not controversial, maybe they'll stop. As far as I know there has never been any kind of campaign to remove Rossoneri or il Diavolo from the AC Milan infobox, hence the lack of sources.

I don't really care whether the modern nicknames are listed on the article or not, I was only trying to give some helpful advice after seeing this edit summary.

King of the North East 21:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This has nothing to do with understanding whatsoever, as I did perfectly comprehend the meaning of your sentence. My point, which you seem to have missed utterly, is that your statement was inherently oxymoronic because it was poorly worded. Whether that was a result of your lack of education in the English language or something else, is left to speculation on my part.

Now, back to the matter at hand: I'm not aware of the reasons why he keeps removing the nicknames. At first I thought he felt disposed to randomly vandalize articles, but further observation revealed that simply is not the case here. One surely has to wonder why he feels inclined to come back over and over again just to remove a couple of trifling nicknames.

Anyhow, I'll see what I can do to solve this rather vexatious inconvenience. Thanks for your concern, I suppose. --190.19.19.112 (talk) 02:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being told to do myself a favour, being selectively quoted and then being called oxymoronic and uneducated are almost enough to put me off trying to offer advice to people here. If you choose to deliberately misunderstand a hastily written note on your talkpage I think thats your problem not mine. King of the North East 02:19, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland-France match[edit]

Hi. I read your comments in the AfD and think they are well-reasoned. As you guessed, I am concerned about precedent as angry supporters of a team are likely to make a POV-pushing article after each match where they feel they've been cheated (and I've seen it before). However, you are right to say that this article is particularly well-done and not pushing a POV. Also, there is a chance that future editors won't use this AfD as a precedent to create much poorer articles that do push POV. WP:FOOTY would be better served by developing a notability guideline for single matches, but as usual I suspect the larger WP community will ignore it. Best regards.

Editing "Argentines of Italian descent" category[edit]

Hi, I just noticed that you removed some of my editings in the "Argentines of Italian descent" category. In particular, I was kind of surprised about the removal of Enrique Guaita and Alejandro Scopelli from this category because there are actually no doubts about their Italian descent. If you read their biographies and the "List of Italian football oriundi" in the Oriundo article, you will see they're Italian-Argentines or Argentina-born Italians like a lot of other Argentine football players who played in Italy back in those days (also nowadays): a lot of them even played for Italy football team (Guaita won a World Cup with Italy in 1934) and they're widely known as "oriundi" in Italy (for the meaning of this word, see Oriundo). I hope there won't be any misunderstanding about this, best regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.40.29.38 (talk) 17:32, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summaries[edit]

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.

Using detailed edit summaries is the best way to ensure that your good faith edits are not reverted by recent changes patrollers or other wikieditors. Thanks!
