NYCFC

Shouldn't the team nick name come from the fans? Because that's how teams get their nick names — Preceding unsigned comment added by Only1bigc (talk • contribs) 18:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

True, but the smurfs did come from the fans. You don't get to pick your own nickname, someone gives it to u. The surfs was given by all the other mls teams, because of their light blue smurf like shirts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeds Unit (talk • contribs) 19:28, 9 June 2015‎

@Leeds Unit Wherever it came from, it needs to be verifiable with an independent, reliable secondary source. And we generally don't include pejorative nicknames, like the one included, in the infobox. Please remember to cite sources for your edits. Mosmof (talk) 19:35, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Liverpool FC

Hi Mosmof, Could i just inquire about the reasons as to why you constantly remove my contributions to the 'rivalries' section Liverpool FC page? You did say it was my POV but It's actually a factual account complete with (though incorrectly inserted) cited reference. The overall section on the rivalries is miss leading to the casual reader as it is, as there really should be a 'citation needed' insert at the end of the "rivalry intensified after Manchester Utd became the first English team to win a European cup" line. To say Liverpool's four European cup wins coincided with their domination of English football is a fact bore out by their Honours list in the same article aswell as my referenced add-on. I do think the overall section is miss leading to the casual reader without it.Richie bedfellows (talk) 09:06, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for leaving a message. My thinking is that "domination" is a little bit of a peacock term and the reader would be served better by simply stating the numbers (and looking at that passage again, I should probably edit the part about Manchester United "dominating" English football as well.

FYI, this edit broke the formatting on the page - when you have a line break followed by a period, it messes up the rest of the line.

Again, thanks - let me know if my latest edit works for you. Mosmof (talk) 16:28, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for the prompt response and the appropriate re-editing.Also apologies for the mix-up with the format. Just one more point, i do also feel the line mentioned about the rivalry intensifying in the 60's after Manchester Utd's European cup win is also a little dubious and slightly miss-leading to the casual reader. I do feel if this is the case then it either needs a citation or i could reference claims that the rivalry actually intensified in the 1970's after Liverpool started their successful period with their first of their eleven league titles in that period. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richie bedfellows (talk • contribs) 18:52, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Coop City

Coop City is not a police force, just look at their own website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.136.236.207 (talk) 19:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

There's nothing indicating they're not a private police force. In fact, their badge features the words "N.Y. POLICE" and their Twitter handle is titled "Co-Op City Police" and its website features a logo with the word "community policing at its finest". So yeah, if we go by their own description, CC Public Safety is indeed a police force. Mosmof (talk) 20:27, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Question regarding citing sources

What is the best way to cite information if it is from a book, which I can't find as an e-book to be read online? Is it better off just to leave off wiki if that's the case? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.6.227.50 (talk • contribs) 21:36, 31 January 2015‎

Books are certainly welcome - you can read more about citing sources at WP:CITE (this section will show you what information to include), and the {{Cite book}} template is useful for organizing the source information. Also, sometimes (but not always), you can use books.google.com to link to specific pages in books. Hope this helps. Mosmof (talk) 04:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Pablo Aimar

Hi there MOSMOF, from Portugal,

I have started a WP:FOOTY I discussion, I am 99,99999999999% sure that what you and the other user are doing in this article is wrong (if you link a WP article more than once it's overlinking, period), but let's wait for more opinions.

Also, if you two were correct, why wikilink only River Plate and not the other club from Malaysia? And I don't see the need to write "free agent" in the introduction because the box will already tell you that. Don't worry I won't remove it again, a bit tired of pointless edit wars, it stays your way.

Attentively --84.90.219.128 (talk) 04:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Turns out you are right about WP:OVERLINKING, though it's a guideline that seems to be rarely put into practice. As for your point about "free agent" not being needed because it's in the infobox, the problem is that if you apply your logic, we'd be removing a lot more information from the lede that's redundant with the infobox - name, date of birth, clubs he's played for, etc. That the lede duplicates a lot of the information isn't a problem - the point of the introduction is to summarize the content in the article body, and the infobox just gives an overview of the player's career. They serve different, albeit overlapping, purposes. Mosmof (talk) 05:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miami MLS stadium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Miami River.

This is despite me clearly putting in a credible independent source that contradicts him? Kingjeff (talk) 05:10, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

You read the message and understand how WP:3RR works, yes? And your source and the IP's source aren't necessarily contradictory. Mosmof (talk) 05:26, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Of course I do. But I don't consider his source a credible source. Kingjeff (talk) 05:27, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Then you have a disagreement that's not going to be solved by edit-warring. Mosmof (talk) 05:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

That was actually going to be my next post on the ip's talk page. Since, you're online, do you mind if you look at this AfD? Kingjeff (talk) 05:30, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I've made an edit which uses both sources - Bild (or at least people translating from German) calls it "demotion", HSV says "he's getting extra match action". The truth is likely somewhere in the middle.

As for the AfD, yeah, I think it's a clear delete, though it looks like whoever edited tried their best. Mosmof (talk) 05:45, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Stoudemire

Stoudemire has been officially waived, so everything is changed in the article – just like every other case. We don't have to wait until he "clears waivers". Once the team announces it, thats it. He is no longer with the Knicks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:15, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Mike Wallace

I made the changes to the Mike Wallace page because someone vandalized it. An unregistered user changed a bunch of stats along with his 40 yd dash time. The career stats that I put in were accurate according to NFL.com, Yahoo, ESPN, etc. I'm going to undo your changes because his career stats are no longer correct. Nuttster99 (talk) 01:25, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I couldn't tell that you reverted all of the IP editor's vandalism so I went back to the last version by an established editor. Sorry if that was in error. Mosmof (talk) 02:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Minnesota United FC (MLS) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Hypocrisy

I was just going to warn User talk:208.81.212.222 and User talk:Mikemor92 about the edit warring that they've engaged in. I see that you warned the anon but not Mikemor92. At best, it's quite bias of you. At worst, shows a complete lack of integrity. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:36, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Whoa, easy there. As far as I could tell, only the IP editor reached 3RR, and Mikemor was still at 2. If I counted wrong, then you can feel free to tag the other user as well. Though it would behoove you to tone down your rhetoric a notch. Mosmof (talk) 04:58, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

My fault for the block evasion, editing warring, personal attacks and harrassment

Look, I apologizes for all of my previous outbursts towards you and everyone else in general. I should have never been so incredibly aggressive and rude. I should have just solved things peacefully in the staff thread as well. I personally think that a New York City Subway image should show both front and side of each train line for the New York City Subway service articles, as I agreed with another remember of Wikipedia. Once my User:JoesphBarbaro account is unblocked, I promise to be civil and helpful and finally, stop edit warring and just simply take disputes to a talk page or the staff from now on. I also think the quality of the aforementioned images needs to be clear-looking quality too in addition. I'll talk more about that with the staff. Anyway, I'll return to honoring the terms of my block and I also promise I won't ever fight back again. I also just wanted to remove all of my outbursts so I myself don't look bad. That's why I wanted my previous conversation to be deleted in your talk page as well as the IP's talkpage in general, so that way, I don't look bad. It's fine if you don't forgive me though. I promise to change my behavior and treat everyone equally as a whole. 68.194.61.51 (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Also note that this is my only IP address, as well as JB being my only account. I'm not going out of my way to abuse any multiple IP addresses and accounts. I've already undid the changes in the aforementioned New York City Subway articles. I promise. I'll now return to honoring the terms of my block. 68.194.61.51 (talk) 23:15, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the message - I know it's easy to take things personally and get our emotions get the best of us (I've done it myself), and it's not easy to come out and say you were wrong, so I appreciate this. We're both here for the same reason, to improve articles, so no hard feelings. Cheers. Mosmof (talk) 23:24, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

they are all wrong by listing Bale most expensive player over Ronaldo..your link seems more updated so we need to change them I think .

July 2015

Your recent editing history at Template:New York Knicks shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Corkythehornetfan 07:10, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

@Corkythehornetfan: The user is engaged in clear vandalism (replacing "Linsanity" with the hoax "Fieldsanity") with a misleading edit summary - 3RR doesn't apply in cases of obvious vandalism, does it (I could be wrong about this, obviously)? And it appears that the user is a sockpuppet of blocked user KO.2 (see edits [2], [3], [4]). Mosmof (talk) 07:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about this, you can remove it. You're right, per WP:NOT3RR#3 (socks) and #4 (vandalism). I just noticed an edit war going and I was tired of seeing it. If they are a sock, I hope they get blocked, or at least for disrupting Wikipedia. This edit summary is a bit concerning, wouldn't you say? It shows they just go blocked, too. Corkythehornetfan 07:25, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

No prob, thanks for the response. I probably should've just started a sock investigation. I'll put up a request anyway, since the block is only temporary. Mosmof (talk) 07:27, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Florida Gators women's soccer players

Hey, MOSMOF. I saw that you were chewing on the Kat Williamson article, and then noticed that she was a University of Florida alumna -- and that she was mis-categorized under the generic parent category, Category:University of Florida alumni, and not the sport-specific subcategory, Category:Florida Gators women's soccer players. I'm not a huge association football/soccer fan, but I am a University of Florida alumnus and I do try to improve, maintain and protect all of the articles for former Florida Gators athletes regardless of what sport they played. If you come across any other mis-categorized Gators soccer players, I would be grateful if you bring them to my attention. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Alex Morgan

Why do you keep erroneously editing Alex Morgan's Wikipedia page? The statistics for NWSL are clearly available on their website, and Morgan has neither played in 48 games nor scored 30 something goals. Get your facts straight. Nd2323 (talk) 20:44, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

@Nd2323: Not sure what you mean by "keep", since as far as I can tell, I've only edited her stats once (and sorry about the error). The page does attract a lot of vandalism, so when I see an empty edit summary with an edit that seems off (and a mobile edit to boot), I kinda assumed it was more of the same. Not an excuse, but that's my explanation. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out. Mosmof (talk) 18:11, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Your edits

The stadium capacity is NOT original research. Just because I moved the citation to after the sentence I added, the reference worked for the whole paragraph. Also, the Miami Herald does require a subscription once you've visited so many pages per month. I believe it varies in November I viewed many, now in December I'm already being hit with the paywall, though you can still scroll and see the article behind it. B137 (talk) 03:32, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I see you switched it to a cite news, this would override the subscription, but did you first check to make sure this was in the print edition? B137 (talk) 03:35, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@B137: Actually, the point made in the article in the capacity isn't that there's a gap in what the two parties are looking for, but that they're both looking at a lower capacity than Sun Life Stadium. Check it out:

Miami is therefore looking for a venue that can hold 40,000 to 44,000 fans, according to the Herald, while the MLS and Beckham's group prefer one that seats approximately 25,000 patrons.

So to turn that into However, UM's target size of 40,000 to 44,000 seats is much too large for the MLS proposal. is very much your interpretation of the information that's not apparent in the source. Plus. it's really beside the point because the proposal never got beyond the discussion phase (assuming it was anything more than a ploy to get more leverage from lawmakers), so that statement I think gives WP:UNDUE weight to a plan that never came to materializing. So I'm going to go ahead and take the text out again - feel free to discuss in the article talk page if you want to discuss further. Thanks. Mosmof (talk) 16:22, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thanks for fixing the infobox on the page for Mark Dougherty! And a question for you: is it possible to cite to a physical object, like a trophy/ plaque/ ring/ jersey? SweetJane930 (talk) 20:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

@SweetJane930: Hey, sorry for the slow response. I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but generally, I wouldn't use a physical artifact as a source. What you want is a published book or newspaper magazine (you can see WP:RS for more). I think citing a source would be considered original research and discouraged. Hope that helps.

Request for comments regarding Cristiano Ronaldo article

Hello, I noticed in the past you have commented on this, so I thought I would bring it to your attention. There is an ongoing dispute regarding the sentence 'regarded by many as the greatest of all time' on the Ronaldo page. There are three users who are defending this claim, and all are refusing to openly address any criticisms from a growing number of objectors. The matter is open for comments at the moment, so perhaps you would like to contribute? Thanks. O'Flannery (talk) 15:21, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:New Atlanta Stadium MLS configuration.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:New Atlanta Stadium MLS configuration.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:45, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
