Owen Hargreaves
Why did you undo my edit again on Owen Hargreaves? I've compromised by leaving him as still with Bayern, and just tidied up other areas. I also added new content, such as persondata. So why have you just undone the edit? By all means edit on top of it, but don't just undo it. robwingfield «T•C» 07:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Miguel Negron
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/62px-Information_icon.svg.png)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Miguel Negron, by Tecmobowl, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Miguel Negron seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Miguel Negron, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Miguel Negron itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 07:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Germany national football team
Done, thanks for letting me know about the voting, sorry I didn't answer straight away, I've been away for a few days. By the way, do you notice the new Starting Line Up and Germany II Team there? It did not seems right, some players name are mentioned twice, and starting line-up is differs from time to time, its just pure research without proper reference, I think it should be deleted. What do you think? Anyway I'll raise the issue again on the talk page there. Thanks. Martin tamb 19:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. What I mean is the Starting Line Up section in Germany national football team#Starting Line-Up. It wasn't there few days ago. Martin tamb 20:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Thanks for spotting the problem. You could do us a favour though. To comply with the the terms of the GDFL licence we have to move the article rather than cut and paste it. Sometimes you won't be able to move the article in question, but any administrater can, so please contact myself or any other admin of your choice. Agathoclea 17:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Breach of WP:3RR
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Andriy Shevchenko. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Dave101→talk 19:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Revert 1 Revert 2 Revert 3 Revert 4 Clarification per your request. Dave101→talk 20:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- User:Dudesleeper only made 3 reverts, 4 reverts are needed to breach the 3RR. Also please do not label this as a "personal attack", assume good faith. I am only giving you this message so that you are aware of your mistake and therefore do not get a ban. Dave101→talk 20:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I agree there were 7 consecutive reverts. However, your previous edit (Revert 1 above) was also a revert, which unfortunately meant you breached the 3 revert rule. Dave101→talk 21:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sigh. This has been debated to death now, but here is the definition from the Reverting article: "A revert is to undo all changes made to an article page after a specific time in the past. The result will be that the page becomes identical in content to the page saved at that time. However, in the context of the English Wikipedia three revert rule, a revert is defined far more broadly as any change to an article that partially or completely goes back to any older version of an article." By this definition, whether you agree with it or not, makes the first change you made a revert. I really hope this clears it up for you, thanks. Dave101→talk 08:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Mexico national team
YOU are the one vandalizing the page. It's useful information and it's not news. Scope (and your demand that all games be listed) is another arbitrary policy demand. Do we need to add the top 100 scorers to keep the top 10? No. If you do not find information useful, ignore it. It selfish to deprive others. Estevanbonilla
It's not your place to define when content is news and when it isn't. This type of information exists throughout Wikipedia. The end of the story will be when you realize that this information is more important to Wikipedia users than your personal affection with policing policy. --Estevanbonilla 16:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Mexico national team
You have a history of personal attacks which makes me hesitant to even respond to your last comment. However, I believe user feedback within the "Schedules & Results" discussion I've started with this article should settle this contention; not just your opinion or mine. --Estevanbonilla 22:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
3RR report
I'm not blocking Estevanbonilla, in part because he wasn't warned, but also because he's very new. Instead, I've left a message on his talk page directing him to Talk:Mexico national football team. I suggest the same to you. I think this situation could have been handled better. In edit-wars it is generally better to do several things:
- Try to hold yourself to 1RR. If you're right, someone else will revert, and you will avoid approaching 3RR.
- Ask the disputant (politely) for discussion on the article's talk page. Focus on the talk page instead of the article.
- Don't call good-faith edits vandalism. They're not.
Finally, please be careful not to bite new editors. You've been here long enough to understand most of these points. Help the new editor understand them, too!--Chaser - T 05:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Redirects
I like to say I appreciate your valiant endeavors at canvassing; however I must ask you to stop immediately. Canvassing is highly frowned up by the community-at-large, and what you're doing (trying to solicit support for cross-namespace redirects) is clearly canvassing. Cross-namespace redirects are avoided if at all possible, and putting WikiProject Comics is a redirect from the main to Wikipedia: space is one. The exception to this is our WP:, WT:, CAT:, and C: pseudo-namespaces. Once again, thanks for your zeal, but kindly cease. ^demon[omg plz] 15:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Attempting to re-add it will only result in blocks. I would not recommend it. As for DRV, you had a fully legitimate DRV. You attempted to overturn a deletion that was fully backed by policy, so there was nothing to discuss. ^demon[omg plz] 15:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Disagree all you want. DRV is not a solid vote, and it's not an attempt to revisit a deletion you did not like. The RfD was closed normally and fully within policy. Your only reason for wanting to keep the redirects is essentially WP:ILIKEIT. ^demon[omg plz] 15:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- At this point, your actions regarding this issue of crossnamespace redirects is borderline trolling. If you please do not cease asking for the redirects to be restored (they will not be), the next course of action will be blocking. Please do not take this message lightly. ^demon[omg plz] 16:36, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- When you keep posting in multiple places asking for them to be restored (or that you will put them back yourself), using convoluted misreadings of policy, it crosses the line from civil discussion to trolling. ^demon[omg plz] 16:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- While we're all entitled to opinions, I suggest you take in the advice given to you here. ^demon[omg plz] 16:42, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please. Agathoclea 17:13, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject redirects
I noticed you have been canvassing about cross-namespace redirects for wikiprojects. There has been broad consensus for a while that redirects of the form WikiProject Foo are not allowed per the self reference policy. Redirects of the form WP:Foo are permitted; you can choose a convenient abbreviation for your project and make a redirect of that form. The RfD discussion was correctly performed, and not even really necessary, as so many of these have been deleted already that the rest could be likely be deleted on sight per WP:SNOW. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Andriy Shevchenko
On User:Bobo192, Kingjeff said:
The difference is the non-domestic league games which shouldn't be in the table. The table clearly states domestic league only.
That's fair enough. I was slightly wary of the information because it did state to be league games only - presumably the information as stated is currently correct. Bobo. 01:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Bayern
Hi, thanks for the invitation but I'm not sure what Bayern is. Did I edit some page about this subject in the past? I don't remember. Badagnani 03:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I watch the World Cup only. I find it more interesting to see national teams play one another rather than for-profit company teams. Badagnani 03:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not much of a Bayern Munich kind of guy myself, though they're my favorite German club. I am more a fan of English football, specifically Arsenal F.C. Thanks for the invitation anyway. —Anas talk? 10:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think that'll work out
A heads up with respect to your invitation to User:Kay Körner. The guy is not capable of rendering translations and he's a less than civil editor, with a POV problem, and he's a Dresden guy rather than Munich. You might want to re-consider or make sure you keep him on a short leash. Wiggy! 03:36, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Minor Edits
Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! ^demon[omg plz] 13:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
FC Bayern Munich Taskforce
Would you like to join a FC Bayern Munich Taskforce at WikiProject Munich? Kingjeff 20:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the invitation. I will consider it. I might be able to join later because right now I am in the middle of doing too many multiple tasks in my every-day life. Wars 15:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Extra task forces
I have added a FC Bayern task force switch to the Germany template. Yuo can activate it using FCBayern=yes in the Germany project template. See Talk:Andreas Ottl for an example how it looks like. I haven't set up the whole category system for automatic updates yet. If you want, I'll go and do that so you get automated assessments (right now the banner mostly advertises your task force).
I am not quite sure what you want the banner to do for the translation task force. Do you want to use it for a "current translation" thing? It clearly doesn't need an assessment system associated with it. Kusma (talk) 11:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- PS: If you have a better free image to use for the FCBayern task force, please tell me or just insert it. Kusma (talk) 11:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer...
Thanks for the invitation to the Wikiproject, but I'm not intrested at this time. Maybe someday, I might join at that Wikiproject when I have a chance :).--PrestonH 22:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Bayern Munich task force
Thanks for the invitation Kingjeff! Unfortunately I am not really knowledgeable enough about Bayern Munich to join the task force, but I will keep an eye on it and help if need be. Dave101→talk 18:09, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Munich
For GA, article length is not that important (unless it is not long enough to meet the broad requirement, by covering a variety of topics pertaining to the subject). Also it is best for the article to not be excessively long (we recently had one at 93kb and recommended it for FAC instead). For the Munich article, it is of about average length of other large cities. If you're still curious, look at cities that are currently GAs to see the difference and also to look for other ideas of what to include in your article. Let me know if you have any other questions. --Nehrams2020 03:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Opalfrost
Does he still need to be checked? He doesn't seem to be editing. Jayjg (talk) 23:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Two answers
1) About Panairjdde, he was actually present in here recently ranting about the ban he received. Have a look at this archived AN/I page for details. 2) About football association logos, many of them just missed a fair use rationale, that is why they were threatened to be deleted unless a fair use rational would be provided. In any case, the issue seems to be resolved now. --Angelo 01:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Error in Chris Benoit Article
There is an error in the Chris Benoit article and since its talk page is locked I'm putting this on your page. It says he killed himself late Saturday or early Sunday. That is WRONG! He killed his son at those times. He killed himself on Monday. How can a dead man send text messages?
Bayern Munich task force
Thanks for the offer, however I don't think I might offer much more than a short contribution on Trapattoni, Rizzitelli and Toni's articles (by the way I am quite not a supporter of the latter, he left Palermo in a very bad way). In any case, I'll try to make something for the articles I mentioned as long as I can. --Angelo 00:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- Right now I just shortly expanded Ruggiero Rizzitelli's and Luca Toni's articles. --Angelo 01:33, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean by "it's too wide"? Is the map cut off when it's on the right of the table? Couldn't it be a screen resolution issue? I see it perfectly well, it doesn't cross the right margin.

Did you not noticed there are 2 cases against him? Kingjeff 04:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes i did. Please do not escalate matters further. It is his time to argue and explain what's going on. I can't do any action now. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 04:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
It might not be going that much further since I might be going to community sanction place to get him a community ban. Kingjeff 04:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- As you see it. I personally believe he still has to say his word. If it convinces admins and/or it is w/in policy then no problem. If not then he will be blocked w/ a community ban or not. I just would like to see you calming down as it is not helpful for admins. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 04:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Have you seen his record since he's been on probation? Kingjeff 04:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
- Kingjeff :) I've seen that as well. Just be patient. If he is going to be blocked he will, if not he won't. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 04:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Hallo kingjeff, danke für Deine Anmerkungen
Hallo kingjeff, danke für Deine Anmerkungen zu dem User Rex Germanicus! Die Logik von Rex germanicus ist simpel: Alle Deutschen im 2WK waren Nazis, somit war die Deutsche Wehrmacht eine Nazi Armee und alle Soldaten die Ihr angehörten somit auch alle Nazis. Dagegen habe ich opponiert und klar zu machen versucht das dies keine Fakten sind(die Wehrmacht wurde von den Allierten nicht als Nationalsozialistische Organisation angesehen) sondern nur seine persönliche Meinung ist! Daraufhin wurde ich von Ihm in einer Art "Pawlovschen Reflex" als Veteidiger der Nazis bezeichnet. Das ist wie wir wissen ein Totschlagsargument mit dem er offensichtlich versucht jede Diskussion über Inhalte zu untebinden wenn ihm Argumente fehlen. Meine Auslassungen zu den dunklen Kapiteln der holländischen Geschichte waren duchaus provokativ dem bin ich mir bewußt! Sie hatten aber nicht die Intention die Verbrechen die durch die Nazis begangen worden sind zu relativieren! Vielmehr war es Ziel meiner Polemik Ihn von seinem hohen moralischen Ross zu holen. Wenn es um die Bekämpfung von Nationalismus geht, sollte jeder erst vor seiner eigenen Türe kehren. Bei ihm habe ich aber den Eindruck ist diese Agenda die er sich lauthals auf seine Fahne geschrieben hat nur vorgeschoben. Er benutzt seinen Kampf gegen tatsächliche oder vermeintliche Revisionisten,Nazis etc. als Deckmantel für seine tiefgehende Antideutsche Haltung. Seine Sichtweise scheint geprägt von einem zu tiefst dualistischen Weltbild, das nur Freund und Feind, gut und böse kennt. Für eine differenzierte Wahrnehmung von Geschichte und ist hier kein Platz. Somit ist für ihn jeder der dieser vereinfachten Sicht nicht zustimmt ein Apostat der "Reinen Lehre" und muß als Häretiker(Revisionist, Nazisympathisant) gebrandmarkt werden. Er gebärdet sich als eine Art Großinquisitor wenn es um die deutsche Geschichte geht, in der nur er im Besitz der absoluten Wahrheit ist. Getrieben von geradezu missionarischem Eifer und Überlegenheitsgefühl findet er offenbar seine Selbstbestätigung darin sich moralisch über die Deutschen zu erheben. In seiner vorgefassten Meinung das jeder der hat er nicht einmal bemerkt das ich kein Deutscher sondern Grieche bin! Ist schon kurios wenn man als Grieche von einem Niederländer als deutscher Nazi beschimpft wird ;-) Vieleicht hab ich ja germanische Vorfahren ohne es zu wissen :-) Man lernt eben nie aus im Leben... LG aus Nürnberg der Stadt des Pokalsiegers ;-)

Markus Pöttinger
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Markus Pöttinger, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.165.52.192 19:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- The same right as everyone else. If it was against the rules, I wouldn't have been able to do it. If you want, I will sign in and prod it.
And while we are at, what gives you the right to right an article that is that incomplete? And why are you here when your page says you left?172.165.52.192 21:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- YOu happy now? If I have to, I will take it to AFD unless of course you do the right thing and improve the article and address my concerns.
- My point is it shouldn't matter. If you have an issue with people who aren't signed in prod'ing things, then take it to the appropriate place to see that it isn't allowed to happen in the future. But between now and then, it is allowed. So deal with it. As long as the prod is for a legit reason, it shouldn't be an issue. I can see if you had written an excellent article and I prod'd it because I didn't like the guys name. Fine, complain. But you wrote a one sentence bio. That to me is a legit complaint. The issue you are going after is wrong, IMO. Go after the reasons for the prod, not who prod'd it. Postcard Cathy 21:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
I was here on Wikinews business and why can't you follow instructions?
Why the attitude? Come on! You wrote a poor article. It deserves prod'ing. Don't take it so personally. And I did follow instructions in that a person who is not signed in is allowed to prod. If you don't want your articles prod'd, then don't give people a reason to do so. Improve the article and the prod goes!
- PS and what instructions are you talking about? The not signed in people are not allowed to prod instructions? Must have missed that one as well as the software people as it happens.
- NOt acting as a sockpuppet. At the time, I was cooking dinner, did not anticipate staying on as long as I have and did not sign on. Had I anticipated staying on as long as I have I would have signed on. And you still haven't told me what instructions I did not follow.
- PS Forget answering. You are upset about something. If you are upset that I prod'd your article, fine. If you are upset about something else, fine. I don't wish to argue about something that I consider trivial. I am tired of it. If you don't want the article to be deleted, improve it and I will gladly remove the prod. That is all I ever wanted. No more, no less. Now I am signing off in anticipation of a thunder storm arriving. If you want someone else to have a hissy fit with, find someone else.

Owen Hargreaves' height
I beg your pardon? I revert one of your edits to reflect proper Wikipedia policy, and you call me a Nazi? Grow up, WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. - fchd 18:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- What policy do you think I am trying to change? I'm merely using the standard usage of British terms for British subject articles. fchd 19:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- So you've now gone from accusing me of "changing policy" and calling me a "Nazi" to accusing me of "inconsistency" - so far so good. Look at a few hundred British football player articles. How many of them have feet/inches as the primary units of height measurement - well over 50%. They also use British spelling and phraseology. That's policy. You don't need consensus to apply policy. - fchd 19:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear Kingjeff/Archive 2! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim
Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim

From the automated Animum Delivery Bot (delivered on 19:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)). Hello WikiProject Ice Hockey/ParticipantI am an advisor to the National Hockey League.

Addicted to conflict?Rex 21:21, 12 August 2007 (UTC) The changes regarding including/removing the seedings seem to be heading towards an edit war. As the change seems to be controversial I would suggest discussing this change on the talk page Talk:UEFA Champions League 2007-08. Thanks. John Hayestalk 21:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC) I just realized that the draw information is duplicated on the article for the group phase itself. Having it in two places is indeed redundant. If you had pointed this out on talk instead of continually deleting, you may have won consensus support. I will not reinstate it again, but the converse goes for what you said, someone else probably will. I am, however, reinstating the information about the date and place of the draw, as this is consistent with the remainder of this year's article and past years' articles. —Ed Cormany 03:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC) I support the change you made, but as Ed says, it would have been better to suggest it on the talk page first. John Hayestalk 06:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I think that the seeding pots and especially TV pairings are irrelevant for the competition as soon as the draw is done. Conscious 07:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC) WikiProject Ice Hockey newsletter

I was just looking for the source that stated that Sweden and Denmark would play a play-off when I found two colliding press releases: UEFA says indeed that Sweden has qualified whereas FIFA had stated before the tournament that in the case that has arrived now there would be a play-off. So as there there are two different releases: what to do? Greetings. --EBB 14:41, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
BendersHi, the articles you mention do not state that the players have actually played in the first team or I wouldn't have PRODded them. The articles don't give any information about first team appearances, should they do so they would clearly meet the notability criteria. Without stating that they have played the articles do not asset notability. I hope this answers your question.

DFB Pokal 2007-08I need an explanation or apologize about your revert on UEFA Cup 2008-09 article.

As I saw it, the numbers were all out of alignment, and my edit reduced the file size of the article by more than half a kB. Furthermore, the E# column made no sense, as it is intended for use in leagues that do not involve ties. The Bundesliga, however, involves drawn games, and so the E# is irrelevant. – PeeJay 15:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Bayern MunichBoth Hamburger and Stuttgart can still overtake Bayern on goal difference, so they can still finish 4th/5th Even if the league goes on head-to-head record, Bayern and Stuttgart stil have to play each other. In respect to which UEFA spot they get, I always interpretted that the cup winner place took priority over others by UEFA rules. It happens in England anyway.

In thise scenario Pogrebnyak might be able to play a replay. Also, Zenit could appeal the yellow card and get it rescinded. Bottom line is that Zenit are still active in this tournament and therefore so is Pavel Pogrebnyak. --Tocino 21:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC) Please refrain from making personal attacks against me on my talk page or I will report your behavior.

Just because I happen to agree with Grant Alpgaugh (on this occasion) and disagree with you, does not mean anything other than I can think for myself. Please remove my user account from the list of accounts you are accusing. - fchd (talk) 08:09, 13 May 2008 (UTC) To add to the above, whilst I am assuming good faith in your conduct, I find it quite amazing that you have also added my name to that list. Try checking my profile. Try checking my edit history and my profile. You are making totally unfounded accusations (and very easily proven false accusations which are also frivilous in the extreme) against me simply because I chose to vote in a poll and you disagree with my vote. The only reason I even voted was because it was brought up at the WP:FOOTY project, which I have been a member of for some time, asking for input. So I voted. I find it quite appalling that you have included my name in that list. Please also remove my name from that list and pease refrain from making accusations against other users without evidence.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, it is very simple, you will be proven wrong when I hope you will have the good grace to apologise. I have also never at any point said, nor implied that I was "worried". Quite the opposite - I have nothing to worry about and am quite happy to wait for the result. I just find it quite sad and a litlle concerning that another wikipedia user chooses to accuse other users of "voting fraud" and sockpuppettry based on a vote in a poll and nothing else, simply because they don't like the way they voted. And to be honest I had thought of striking my vote before all this arose as I thought that maybe I was an outsider. I would though ask you to wait now and stop discussing this with me until this has been resolved. Then we will see who is right and who is wrong.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Thank you for at least offering to apologise to "the innocent users" which I can assure you will include me. Unlike some people though I don't appreciate things like this when it is based on a vote and nothing else and also when a check of my edit history and the articles I edit, would show that virtually all of them are related to British topics, English football, British tv etc including I'd Do Anything (BBC TV series) - an article I created about a current British tv programme which I edit every week live as I watch it, and Jodie Prenger an article about a contestant on that show from Blackpool, whcih I created. And articles I have created such as Yorkshire Seasiders, Leyland & Chorley Seasiders and Kincraig Lake Ecological Reserve - about a small lake near where I live in Bispham and which has photographs that I took and added to the article. It would not have been hard to check my edit history before including me in all of this rather than just diving straight in. But as I said above, we shall see when the issue is resolved, which will hopefully happen sooner rather than later. And again I would ask that you now wait for that result.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Hello, Kingjeff. I realize that given events with which you are currently involved you may be upset and that this is likely a sensitive issue, but I'd like to ask you to please be careful about the tone of the comments you make to and about User:Grant.Alpaugh, with whom you are evidently currently involved in a content dispute and against whom you have lodged allegations of sock puppetry at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Grant.Alpaugh. It is not my intention to inflame the situation. I am hoping to de-escalate tensions pending resolution of the issues between you. The situation was brought to my attention on my talk page by Grant.Alpaugh, with whom I interacted briefly in early April after his page was vandalized by what investigation held to be a sock puppet of User:US - Jimmy Slade (see the log for the blocked sock account.) I understand following the message Grant left me that the tone of your conversations was probably set by his misidentification of an edit of yours as "vandalism", here. I am explaining to him why such misidentifications are themselves problematic with regards to the civility policy and WP:AGF. But regardless of the history between you or the ongoing investigation, I am asking you please to avoid making personal comments about this user, such as your recent reference to his "little games". They will not help resolve the question of circumventing 3RR or resolve the content issue; they only run the risk of putting you afoul of policy yourself. Your concerns about his behavior will be addressed through process, and it's important that we keep the tone appropriate throughout. Please let me know here if you'd like to discuss this further. I prefer to keep conversations in one location and will be "watching" your page until I'm reasonably sure that you do not choose to respond. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
MLS edit warAs the edit warring has continued I have protected the templates. It was either that or block you both. 3RR is a limit, not an entitlement. As it states on WP:3RR, Efforts to game the system, for example by persistently making three reverts each day or three reverts on each of a group of pages, cast an editor in a poor light and may result in blocks. Oldelpaso (talk) 09:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC) CheckuserHi Kingjeff. You may have noticed I alerted the various accused "socks" as to the accusations you were levelling against them. If this sort of thing should occur in future then I'd encourage you to at least let the people you're accusing know that you're accusing them. Also, since the accusations have now proved unfounded, I recommend you make a personal apology to each of the editors in question, not just a general, single-sentence apology on the sockpuppet page. It wouldn't do any harm to speak personally with those editors. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Just to add to the above, and in reply to this message you left on my talk page, "I'm not sorry for accusing Grant of this but I'm sorry he forced me to have to involve innocent users." That really is not on. You are still not taking any responsibility for your actions and you are now blaming someone else (Grant) for you involving me and for you accusing me of Voting fraud. Grant did not force you to involve me one iota - no-one did other than you. You did that yourself without anyone else telling you to do soand it really is time that you accepted responsibility for that instead of putting the blame solely on Grant. You are both responsible for this and I have had enough of it. You are resonsible for your own actions, no-one else is responsible for your actions in the same way we all are responsible for our own actions, myself included. Also you involved me in all of this without even a grain of evidence. As Rambling Man says above, can you not understand how I feel about this? You didn't even bother to tell me or any of the others you accused about this. I had to find out from Rambling Man who informed everyone involved. I really do not care about your dispute with Grant it is between the two of you. And whilst you have apologised in general on that page, and whilst you have also apologised (eventually after it being brought up and mentioned to you) to all the other users on their talk pages you have still not apologised to me other than "I'm sorry he forced me to have to involve innocent users" which is not an apology, which takes no responsibility, and is still blaming Grant for your own actions. However, I really have had enough of this now and of your refusal to accept any responsibilty whatsoever. This is all about something ridiculously trivial. You have brought all this on yourself (both of you). Please stop and think about how others feel. edited to add: I will also add that I have done nothing to deserve all this other than try and contribute to wikipedia. It is not about "opinions" it is about respect. You informed no-one they were accused of being a sockpuppet other than Grant. You only apologised on users pages after a number of messages left on this page suggesting you do so, and you are still coming across as not accepting responsibility for your own actions, preferring to blame others. It has come to something when a simple vote on a poll is the sole reason used to get a user listed as a suspected sockpuppet and accused of voting fraud. And what you don't even stop to think is that you could very easily have persuaded me to change my mind over my vote as I mentioned to previously had you been less antagonistic and insistent in your accusations. And with regard to this left on Rambling Mans page, "They didn't need to be notified since this was about Grant and nobody else". How on earth can you say this was this "about Grant and nobody else" when you included me and numerous others in this, and you made accusations against us? As I said above it is about respect. I'm sorryt but to not even bother to inform us shows a total lack of respect. You involved us. You then gave us no right of reply.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 20:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC) WikiProject BavariaI added a comment to WikiProject Bavaria proposal. -- GregManninLB (talk) 00:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC) WikiProject WikinewsI added a comment to WikiProject Wikinews. -- GregManninLB (talk) 02:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Wikinews invitationYea that sounds interesting.

-- jj137 (talk) 03:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC) TFC Page: "Other Matches" CategoryHello again! I feel really bad for saying this but the coaches table was not meant to take into account friendlies and other pre-season matches. I've wanted to place a notice to this effect, visible only while editing but I was never sure how. As for the other guy who keeps reverting me (he replaces "other matches" with "Canadian Championship), well... I guess I'll deal with that. I figure he means that only Canadian Championship matches have been played thus far, but it makes sense to have the category include all competitive matches other than MLS matches and playoff matches. What's your take on that one? Lucky Strike (talk) 04:54, 17 July 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke --- I see where you're coming from but with a separate column/total for the Canadian Championship AND the SuperLiga AND the CONCACAF Champions League, the table gets to be pretty unwieldy. Ideally, people should be able to have a quick glance and instantly know what's what. Lucky Strike (talk) 04:56, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke --- It makes sense but your reasoning is exactly why I believe there should be a catchall category. Because participation in Superliga and CONCACAF Champions League is not guaranteed, we may end up seeing a ton of zeroes or dashes indicating that no games have been played. It would make the separated categories redundant. Lucky Strike (talk) 15:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke --- But that's just the thing, there WILL be other matches and a good records table should take that into account. But even setting that aside, why remove the playoff portion? They're an integral part of the MLS. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't follow why the table shouldn't be comprehensive and complete. I understand it when you say that there haven't been playoff matches or Superliga and Champions League matches, but it seems that people who read the article should know that the potential for these matches exists. Lucky Strike (talk) 03:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Lckystrke --- I was saying that with separate sections for all three tournaments we would get a ton of zeroes until some matches are played. With all three competitions rolled into one, we avoid that. P.S. Somehow the table got all messed up by an edit - I restored it to the previous format because I wanted to include the most recent 0-0 draw into it. I didn't do it out of disrespect for your opinion, it's just that I'm familiar with this format and wanted to keep the table up-to-date. It would have taken me longer to de-bug the table and include the new results. I do indeed want to continue the discussion. Lucky Strike (talk) 21:51, 19 July 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke Re: Stephan FürstnerHi Kingjeff! I would not presume to be 100% sure, that he has not been loaned out. But: a) there is no article to be found, that he has been loaned out b) he is on various nonofficial sites listed as part of the team c) Bayern lists him still as part of their amateur team d) he has a professional contract at Bayern since 2006 till 2010 e) he had just one appearance in the two recent years As wikipedia is an Encyclopedia I try not to be guessing, but the only logical explanation I have for that is, that he is not considered to be fully a part of the professional squad, though he has a professional contract. Question is whether he should be included on the Bayern-wikipedia page then. Actually, I think this is something other people would wonder about, too. So if you don't mind I'd like to copy the content of our discussion (if you care to name it so) to the Bayern-Talk page. Regards, OdinFK (talk) 20:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC) July 2008

Regarding this edit: So? Once again, please read Template:Current sport, especially the part that says "It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic". The UEFA Cup 2008–09 certainly is a major tournament, and by common definition it is a current event, but it is not a current event by our definition. These templates exist to warn our readers about rapidly changing articles, they do not exist to tell our readers that something is currently ongoing. --Conti|✉ 09:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC) UEFA Europa League 2009–10I can't see why you have reverted by edit on the above page, all I did was add the current article name as the link, while leaving the reduced name as the display name.

I am contacting you because you are listed as a participant for WikiProject Norway, and the above-mentioned article is sourced by all Norwegian-language references. Moreover, the references do not appear to support notability; they might be mere trivial references to the subject. Since these sources are all offline, and I do not speak or read Norwegian, I'm hoping whether you can assist me in determining whether the article qualifies for speedy deletion. Many thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 12:43, 18 March 2010 (UTC) Grant.AlpaughNice to see that your userpage is still as misleading as ever, Jeff. Nevertheless, thanks for the vote of no confidence, but I hope to prove you wrong. Joking aside, I'm sorry for all of the conflict over the years, and I look forward to working with you productively in the future. Have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 19:46, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
An honest question: Does "Bayern" translate as "Bavaria" or "Bavarian?" -- Grant.Alpaugh 01:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC) What makes you think that this article is worthy of Top-importance? Just because it is current? – PeeJay 07:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
InviteJeff, thanks for the invite, but due to my having just gotten a new job, I've greatly reduced my activity on the site. So, I'm greatful for the invite, and I'm more than interested, but please know that if I join my input will be minimul for the next several months. All the best. -- Grant.Alpaugh 00:45, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for my invite as well. I'm not a huge football fan. I only follow to clubs and have been trying to add to the Canadian pages and the USSF-D2 pages a bit. I don't know what I would have to offer. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2010 (UTC) Re: 2009–10 in Austrian footballSorry, I have to disagree. The sections were removed from all 2009–10 UEFA league season articles a couple of days ago because they were not within the scope of these articles, which is the summarization of the results and events of the domestic league season only. However, more input on the matter would be good, so I would suggest to take your proposal up for discussion at WT:FOOTY. --Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 16:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Kingjeff. I've removed your GA nomination for Toronto FC as the article would have failed the nomination if I did a full review. Particularly, there is a lack of citations in several sections that would have to be rectified before this article could be passed as a GA. Since you never added the GAN template to the article's talk page, I simply removed the nomination. If you would like me to do a full review anyway, let me know, and I'll give my thoughts. Thanks!

Re: Atletico MadridYou mean if Athletico got a domestic spot as either cup winners or runners-up and then won the Europa League? Nah. The spot for the Title Holder is implemented as kind-of an after-thought after all the teams have qualified by their various means. The allocation spots for all the countries are filled up regardless of the situation, and then afterwards the Title Holder gets yanked into the Group Stage from whatever position they may be in. If they're already in Europa League then they get moved from wherever they are and the other entrants get moved around a bit to compensate, but their place isn't retroactively given to a different team from the same country.

Austria ViennaA football club is not a "football competition". I also don't understand why you have set this up as a separate project. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject BavariaThanks. I've done a few Bavarian articles already and am currently focussing on the Fichtelgebirge area (not least because we are holidaying there soon!). It's a great country! Gruß. --Bermicourt (talk) 11:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC) ANI noticeHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your creation of WikiProjects without authorisation. The thread is Creation of WikiProjects by User:Kingjeff. Thank you. – PeeJay 18:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC) Re: 1860 MunichYour proposal sound interesting, however I don't actually know that much about the club, or the city of Munich. You'll notice that all my edits to the club's page have been about transfers. I must, therefore, respectfully decline your invitations. Cheers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2010 (UTC) WikiProject Munich Task Force leadershipThanks for your offer concerning the task forces, but I have to decline. I don't know what taking the leadership of a task force involves, but I'm afraid that it takes up too much time (and I'm already spending too much time on Wikipedia). --Jaellee (talk) 14:01, 14 May 2010 (UTC) WikiProject Munich redirectThanks for the note; however, I'm not in the mood for an RFD. Unlike any of these five, the Munich redirect had already been deleted at RFD, so it qualified for speedy. Nyttend (talk) 01:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC) Owen Hargreaves GANHi! I've had a look at the article, given it an initial review and placed it on hold. My comments are on the review page. Thanks. --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Runner-upHi there JEFF, VASCO here, Somewhere there is a discussion about football honours at the WPFOOTY forum (i remember i started it around April 2010, or early May), and there, there are many opinions that state that those should count, and i am one of them. Just think a while my friend, runner-up places in FIFA World Cups, UEFA Champions Leagues, UEFA Europa Leagues, etc, have all the merit in the world. You might say "so does a runner-up in the domestic league". Yes, but in the competitions i mentioned (in ALL), medals are awarded at the end, so it's an honour. Also, i did not like how "user" 90.192.29.110 removed that bit in Hans-Jörg Butt, without one word in his summary, just removing stuff with a magic move. So, i reinstated it. Cheers, keep up the good work - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 04:37, 4 June 2010 (UTC) MVG & MVVThe MVG is the Münchner Verkehrs Gesellschaft which operates the U-Bahn, Tram/Strassenbahn, and the vast majority of city-core bus service. The MVV is the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund which is the regional transit "authority" of sorts, an association of numerous transit operators, the major two of whom are the above-mentioned MVG and S-Bahn München, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. --Lapunkd (talk) 20:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Ivica OlićThe article Ivica Olić you nominated as a good article has failed File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Milos Felix.jpg![]() Thanks for uploading File:Milos Felix.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 22:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC).
