Hi.

What was your source for the league appearances in this edit: [1]? Greetz --Ureinwohner (talk) 20:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Source of the edits was an player profile in a africans forum over the Chadian football team! (Zombie433 talk) 21:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zombie433

You are absolutely right about this user, and the sad thing is the Wiki football project can't seem to handle it. Maybe you can add some examples here: [[2]] The Biboko example is an excellent example :he replaces imaginary stats with other imaginary stats. Vic Niblett died in Gillingham, Kent 1 October 2004 source: the obituary section of Sky Sports Football Yearbook 2005-2006 page 1028. I have wasted enough of my time on Wiki, and I'm not even a regular editor Cattivi (talk) 08:46, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 2004-05 Sky Sports Football Yearbook was published before he died, the 2005-06 edition is about the 2004-05 season Cattivi (talk) 09:32, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gnarf, of course (got the 2008-09 a metre away), thanks alot for Nibletts dod! It seems there were a dozen of Zombie-discussions without any result and this one looks no different. I just dont understand why the regular authors do nothing while hes adding unsourced or wrong information in thousands of articles. Adam Straith and many other canadian players are also good examples how he interprets sources, when he defines some new canadian youth teams like U-16 and U-18 by counting unofficial (Miscellaneous) matches that the Canadian FA isnt counting in their statistical overview. If u want, you can put my examples on the ANI page, I think they are representative about the way hes working. --Ureinwohner (talk) 09:37, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, German Wikipedia will profit indirectly when something is done regarding this user. Cattivi (talk) 11:22, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Siehe dich um viele Portugisiesische Spieler und auch anderen beruhen auf User editierte Quellen wie Weltfussball, Transfermarkt, Soccerway, ZeroZeroFootball diese Quellen sind total unseriös und viele statistiken und aktuelle Vereine unkomplettiert, veraltet bzw. die Spieler bei komplett falschen Vereinen, diese waren dort zwar im gespräch aber nie unter Vertrag, daher plädiere ich auf seriöse Seiten (Vereinsseiten, Zeitungsartikel (Kicker, L'Equipe, Gazzetta Dello Sport etc.) und nicht diese pseudo quellen wie transfermarkt usw.

Re: Jack Allan dob

I have a book called "Manchester United: The Football Facts" by Dean Hayes, which gives 16 January 1883 as the birth date of John Thomas Allan, who played for Manchester United from 1904 to 1906. – Pee Jay 20:38, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Books LLC, "Livres Group" (french) and "Bucher Gruppe" (german) is all the same shit, earning 20 or 100 bucks for some Wikipedia articles isnt a bad idea, but I dont think we have to support this with listing those "books" here, and in my opinion those "books" aren't usable for referencing the articles. greetz --Ureinwohner (talk) 18:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Ureinwohner, please don’t start an editor war with me. Please add a ^{[citation needed]} tag if you want to, but please do not delete things with solely an "unsourced" remark in the Edit summary. Das ist “nicht die feine englische Art“.

Its fictional data from infinite banned User:Zombie433. He was was banned because he added tons of such fictional data. Can you please explain, how this link proves 10 (5) for the zambian U-19? There is no mention of any appearances, I dont question that he scored fifa goals in that tournament, but what is about qualification rounds and friendlies, and where says the source something about 10 games?... Best regards --Ureinwohner (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Ureinwohner, stimmt, nach Rückfrage heute Morgen bei Tembo selbst und die FCB Geschäftsleitung kann ich immer noch nicht beweisen, dass es eine U-19 Mannschaft gab, vielleicht war es "nur" eine Jugend-Auswahlmannschaft. Auch die Anzahl Tore für die National Mannschaft 2 stimmt nicht, es ist nur 1. Grüsse --Huligan0 (talk) 11:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Da Silvas

Aaaaaah now I understand. Since you were blanking the section, I thought you were disputed whether they had played for the U17s, so I linked you a Man United article where it mentions their U17 performances. Though I'm a football fan I don't know where to find the information you're looking for, I only watch a few players pages to look out for vandalism and I mainly contribute to music-related articles. Perhaps someone at WP:FOOTBALL might know? Perhaps for now we can keep the lower number, and add a footnote saying that the numbers are correct up to (whatever date the championship finished)?

Sorry about the confusion. Danke schön!

February 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Nathan Sinkala, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Giant Snowman 13:49, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ok, if you want to keep wrong information, no problem. I wrote the German article yesterday with a bit more insight into Zambian football and a bit more research effort, but if you like your article that way, no problem. I won't spend half an hour to add single references.. --Ureinwohner (talk) 13:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This edit summary is inappropriate - a personal attack, and not needed at all. Zanaco is confirmed by this source - please provide alternative sourses if you feel it is incorrect. Giant Snowman 20:04, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also confirmed by this and this. Giant Snowman 20:07, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you are unable to do a proper research, then you are just a botcher and it's a pity someone like you get admin rights and is allowed to represent the Wikipedia on this level. Get your facts right or leave such articles alone. And don't tell me anything about manners and personal attacks, you started this conversation with a vandalism template. And just something to think about: explain this and this and this and this and this --Ureinwohner (talk) 20:17, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please stop with the personal attacks. Not that I'm offended by them - I get called much worse on a daily basis - but they could get you into trouble. I hit you with a vandalism template because you removed referenced information from an article - that is vandalism - see WP:VANDTYPES. Giant Snowman 21:15, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You add nonsense to articles with unreliable sources, that is vandalism. And stop playing the schoolmaster, I'm nearly eight years in this project. And of course your response didn't contain any answer on those five links above, cause they allow only one conclusion. --Ureinwohner (talk) 21:27, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What nonsense have I added? I added what the sources available to me said; I've been presented (finally!) with other sources and adjusted the articles accordingly - that's my reaction to your links. If you've been here eight years then you'll know not to remove sourced information without explaining why. I'd advise you to use edit summaries (other than to abuse other editors, of course). PS I apologise for templating you, but you need to explain your edits. Giant Snowman 21:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ibrahim Awal

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Ibrahim Awal. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:14, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ibrahim Awal

The article Ibrahim Awal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Giant Snowman 08:48, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ibrahim Awal

The article Ibrahim Awal has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

ENFA

Hi, per this edit, you may like to know that there is a template for this. You can just use {{ENFA}}. Much easier and looks a lot better (and also shows that it's a subscription site). I've switched it on that article.

If you have an ENFA account, could I trouble you for a small favour? I'm missing some stats for Joe Cockroft's Sheffield United spell. I have the league stats but think he might have made a couple of cup appearances. If you have the time/access, I'd love to know! (the almost-completed table is here, but I'm happy to do the data entry/copying over myself). Thanks, Nzd (talk) 21:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for the hint. Added the two FA Cup games for Sheffield United. Let me know, if you need information again. Ureinwohner (talk) 16:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing that, much appreciated. I have a couple of unfinished tables at User:Nzd/Career statistics but it's been so long since I worked on them I've forgotten where I was at. May come back to you when I've refreshed my memory if that's OK. Thanks again, Nzd (talk) 17:28, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added a few stats. Ureinwohner (talk) 18:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly your project ″West Ham Charity Cup" is way more fun :D. Ureinwohner (talk) 20:19, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's amazing! Again, I haven't worked on this for some time. I was getting info from the BNA but then I ran out of e-mail addresses for the free articles and it's a bit of a chore when you have to rely on the snippets. Some of the Ilford 'wins' won't be correct, I was just copying the rows down. Thanks for this, really appreciate it. Nzd (talk) 23:38, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I can return the favour at any point, I have a reasonable bookshelf, although probably not as extensive as yours

Nzd (talk) 03:14, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Few gaps remain, can't find anything more about the games in the mid 20s... If you need something specific, my library can be found here. Ureinwohner (talk) 19:13, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's great, excellent work. Looking back now, I remember getting a bit stuck on the Ambler table as I couldn't settle on a format for the leagues involved, e.g. Spurs and the Southern and United Leagues. I'll have another play around. I've tallied up the Sissons table so it's ready to go in. Could you just let me know which source you used for the Norwich stats please? I think the WHCC stuff is good enough to be added as well. Yeah, that's a huge library, jealous.. Nzd (talk) 21:32, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Norwich stats via ENFA. Ureinwohner (talk) 09:43, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, would you mind checking the title of this article on BNA please? The preview has 'Pint Koma Raeofd', but I'm guessing that's not what the paper actually printed! The bit I want to reference is "..or “Judge” Murphy, of Stoke and Hibernians, who wore a wig, and so got his nickname", if there's a subheading. Also, just to say, I'm working on the Ambler/WHCC stuff now. Hopefully I'll get this in over the next couple of days. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 23:52, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at the Ambler/WHCC stuff. I've done the table for Ambler. I had a play about with the formatting: of the two versions, I think the second is probably more standard/neater. Of course, none of that supports the assertion in the Who's Who of West Ham United that he made 133 first-team apps for Spurs. I may remove that from the prose.

On the WHCC stats, only 1891–92 appears not be be referenced (other than the two missing ones). I'd put that line in originally (Ilford 4–2 Upton Park, Spotted Dog Ground) but this seems to be an error. This article appears to show the score as 4–0. Could you just confirm that please? (oddly, this article seems to show Ilford losing a semi-final reply to Woodville, but there you go). Thanks, Nzd (talk) 14:55, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I think both versions for Ambler will do the job, personally I'd prefer the first a bit more... According to my perception Tony Hoggs book is really subpar and full of errors, I usually try to not use it... I checked the 1891-92 final again, was for sure a 4-0 for Ilford. Your second link sounds in full: "In the semi-final of the West Ham Charity Cup, Upton Park and Woodville on Saturday replayed their tie at Ilford, when a capitally-contested game ended in victory for the Uptonians by one goal to nil." Ureinwohner (talk) 15:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Agree about the Hogg book, I've moaned about it many times. I think the WHCC table is ready to go in. I've commented out the note-like bits, and anything further can be done in-article. I've taken 'Upton' to mean the SDG, as I think enough sources have used this interchangably. Nzd (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Small addition on Ambler. According to Goodwins "The Spurs Alphabet", Ambler played really 133 matches for Tottenham. But that includes 74 "other matches", including many many friendlies. In the Complete Record he's credited with a total of 132..., possibly the new Spurs Who's Who from 2018 got another small correction on his total.. Anyway I'm not sure if it makes sense to count every friendly... Ureinwohner (talk) 16:13, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, if that specifically mentions friendlies, it's worth adding as a ref. Got a page number? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw that parts of the new book are free to read, Amblers profile including, see here. The old book (Bob Goodwin: The Spurs Alphabet - A Complete Who's Who of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.

London Senior Cup, London Charity Cup and Wellingborough Charity Cup). Ureinwohner (talk) 18:12, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, the abandoned one explains the one-match discrepancy. I've expanded the prose a bit and will try to sort out the career stats later. Thanks again. Nzd (talk) 13:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All of the outstanding stats tables are in now. I've moved the John Cartwright one over. I couldn't find complete stats for Bath City and don't think they're available (the apparent only book doesn't break down apps by competition), but I think it's good enough. Thanks so much for all of your help with those! If you don't mind, I have one further request. I've created a table for John Blackwood but am missing the Reading stats. Do you have access to these at all? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 00:38, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wrote about Blackwood a couple of years ago and faced the same problem: Readings pre FL statistics are not published as far as I know. Neither Heaven on Earth: The Official History of Reading F.C, 1871-2003 by Sedunary nor Downs' Definitive Reading FC: A Statistical History to 1998 include the Reading lineups before 1920. I'm still wondering if there's a Southern League publication I dont know about. There are sometimes biographies that are able to list SL apperances for way more obscure clubs like Gravesend United or Chatham... Ureinwohner (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I've searched high and low myself for such a book and haven't come across anything. I'll be sure to let you know if I find anything! I'm surprised that a club like Reading don't have anything in their own records though. I see your article mentions the match against The Kaffirs. I saw that on the Celtic Wiki, but I couldn't use that as a ref. Is that in the Alphabet of the Celts book? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, Kaffir information comes from Alphabet of the Celts. Cant find lineups or extensive reports in the BNA for that game... What seems to be wrong is the information, that he was switched from the centre forward position in his single league game, the match reports doesnt mention anything like that (though he's not praised either..) Seems like I have to rewrite the German article at some point... Ureinwohner (talk) 16:59, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With the red link in Blackwood's article I decided to do a quick research on another competition: User:Ureinwohner/sandbox. Will add some more background information the next couple of days, would be glad if u'd assist to bring it in form for the main namespace. Ureinwohner (talk) 20:38, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, so if I said something along the lines of...

He and Willie McOustra were signed by Celtic after playing in a friendly against The Kaffirs, a touring team from the Orange Free State

...and sourced it to An Alphabet of the Celts, that'd be OK? Do you have a page number?

I'd be happy to. I was a little worried that you'd duplicated information when looking at the links on List of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. seasons, but it actually appears that the page is incorrectly linking to a completely different competition (FYI @Govvy). Interestingly, Steve Marsh has these matches on his site as friendlies.[3] I'll ask him about that. A Coventry City programme describes a 1911 fixture as an "extra" match.[4] I'm just working on an update to the Frank Burton article, but I'll do some digging myself when I get a mo. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 00:17, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, thats accurate. Page: 29f. I think in a modern sense those games were friendlies because they had no proper FA as organising body.. At the time I think they were closer to the other local cups that were around... Ureinwohner (talk) 17:36, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am a little confused, was there a question for me? Also which specific information are you pointing too as duplicate? Govvy (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry @Govvy, I can understand why that might have been confusing to be pinged mid-conversation. There are various links formatted as "[[Sheriff of London Charity Shield|Southern Charity Cup]]" on the List of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. seasons article, i.e. implying that the Southern Charity Cup is the same thing as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield. However, if you compare the list of champions/finalists (SLCS/SCC), they are quite obviously different, and the prose within the Spurs list (detailing the wins) suggests that the link is wrong. I'm happy to repoint the links once the new article is up, it was just an FYI really. Nzd (talk) 13:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I never really noticed the Southern Charity cup before, I've know a little about the London Charity Shield, which was also known as the Dewar Shield, before they were separated for some reason even know it was the same competition. Govvy (talk) 13:54, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya, I noticed you managed to fill the gap in the Blackwood stats in the end. Thanks for that. I haven't finished the Frank Burton stuff yet (I've had the lurgy), but will do those other bits soon. Any chance you could have a look for Burton in your QPR book(s)? According to QPRnet, he was there between summer 1910 and Feb 1912, but didn't feature for them at all (at least not for the first team). I just wanted to make sure that was right. You'll be pleased to know that I've got myself a BNA subscription now, so I won't need to harrass you for that for at least three months! Thanks, Nzd (talk) 22:42, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't bothering at all to look into the BNA ;). Neither the QPR Complete Record by Maces nor the Who's Who by Marks mention any player called Burton. Ureinwohner (talk) 17:31, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, thought that would probably be the case. I've just added that bit to the Blackwood article (and McOustra). Nzd (talk) 00:00, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, I hadn't even got around to asking! Thanks! I've nearly finished my Burton update. I was also going to ask if there's anything useful in your books about the end of his time at Charlton (being replaced in the team, injuries, etc) and when he left. Also, do you have any mention of him moving to Grays? Joyce has the club as Grays Thurrock and there seems to be an assumption that this is the same club as Grays Athletic, but this is demonstrably not the case (there are many articles on the BNA that show them to be separate entities, at least at that point), I'm inclined to remove him from the Grays Athletic players cat. Thanks again, Nzd (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cameron's approach to player biographies is a bit strange and seems sometimes random. The following facts can be found:

Career: Kilburn, QPR amat., West Ham United prof. during 1910-11 season, Charlton 18.5.21, Grays-Thurrock (player-trainer) May 1925 (Thurrock confirmed here and here) About Thurrock, that might be interestsing
served in the 1st Royal Fusiliers, Dec. 1914 to July 1920 and was wounded on six occasions. Received the Victory and General Service Medal, French decorations: Medaille Militaire and the Croix de Guerre
had the rare record of assisting two clubs during their first FL season

Ureinwohner (talk) 07:58, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colin Cameron: Home & Away with Charlton Athletic 1920–2004. Colin Cameron, Sidcup 2003, ISBN 978-0-9518125-2-5, p. 21ff. shows that Burton partnered at the start of the 1924-25 season Baden Herod in the full back positions, from October onward Norman Smith (born 1897, not Norman Smith (English footballer)) was preferred. Ureinwohner (talk) 09:30, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's really useful. I've started an article, Grays Thurrock United F.C. Will return to Burton now. Nzd (talk) 15:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Stub for the other Norman Smith also created. Nzd (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

L'entraineur heureux

Mr. Griffiths must been have a happy man after the 1932-33 season. He won the cup in France and the league in Belgium, training Excelsior Roubaix and Union Saint Gilloise at the same time (a la fois). It explains a lot, but also complicates things.

Ginger Pensulo

Hi Ureinwohner, It's been a while. I did another article on a Zambian player called Ginger Pensulo. I've been busy of late but hope to do more if time allows. It's a bummer though when a lot of the hard work that goes into an article gets edited out because someone else doubts the references or thinks they are not verifiable.

Hughie Ferguson

Hi there, thanks very much for filling in the stats table. I was hoping for another editor to do so but they don't appear to be very active right now. Does Litster have no information for the cups in the early years? Kosack (talk) 13:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if I should count the blanks as 0. I'll take a look at "'Well Again: The Official History of Motherwell Football Club" --Ureinwohner (talk) 13:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uff. Quite simple: There was no Scottish Cup in 1916-17, 1917-18 and 1918-19. And in 1925-26 he was already in Wales when the first round was played in January. --Ureinwohner (talk) 13:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
