Bots and Indef

Two things:

  • If I want discussions archived by a bot, then how do I do that?
  • When it says a user has been blocked indefinitely does that mean they are blocked forever?

Thanks TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 19:59, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

  1. You can look at other editors how they do and there is also information at Help:Archiving a talk page (specially Help:Archiving a talk page#Automated archival. Further innformation describing each parameter can be read at User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. Remember that if you want to set up archive on other page than your own talkpage you need discussion and consensus for that.
  2. Indefinate blocks are all blocks that dont have a date when they end. They can both be "forever" and blocks that gets ended. They are issued when the account has done major disruption, but can also be if an editor has returned from a block and continue with same disruptive edits. Then the editor can be indefinately blocked during discussions so the editor can make sure why they are blocked (as they did not understand previous block as they continued. WP:INDEF states Indefinite does not mean infinite: an indefinitely blocked user may later be unblocked in appropriate circumstances. In particularly serious cases where no administrator would be willing to lift the block, the user is effectively banned by the community.
@TeaLover1996: Hope this helps. QED237 (talk) 20:18, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
@Qed237:When you say that in serious cases when an administrator would not be willing to lift the block and the user is banned by the community, who is the community? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 20:52, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
@TeaLover1996: Ping only works when you make a new post and sign it, so this ping did not work. About the question, I have no idea but I guess in this case it is Wikipedia that is the community. QED237 (talk) 10:54, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia

Isn't it true that Wikipedia will always be a work in progress and will never be finished? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 16:25, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

One might say so yes. QED237 (talk) 17:57, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Position parameter in club infoboxes

Hello. With regard to this edit and similar. You may have missed the bit in the documentation at {{Infobox football club}} that says the |position= parameter is supposed to contain "The league and position to which season refers" (my highlighting), not just the position. I just reverted another user who was removing the league bit, and they pointed out your edit summaries... No harm done, and I've put the leagues back in as per the documentation. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:51, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

@Struway2: First of all thank you for the informative message, not everyone takes the time to write one. Actually it all started when I saw an other user reverting so I looked at the template documentation example and in the example league was not mentioned. I never read the parameter description, so I was a bit lazy I guess (thought looking at example was enough), sorry. Probably the example should be updated so it displays everything correctly. Anyway, thanks for the explanation and for correcting my mistake, lesson learned. QED237 (talk) 11:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy between example and parameter description. I've fixed the example. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:23, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the help and updating the documentation (the example). QED237 (talk) 11:16, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Taulant Xhaka

Hello there, is this user ok or it's hacked? If not, its so strange that an admin. here remove all those updates, additional infos, etc. We have talked for many things here, I asked you many times for help, even for the article of Taulant Xhaka (see HERE to remember). Then what the info u mean that I had removed, that reference at | nationalcaps6 = 3<!-- <ref>(3 – Xhaka has played in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against [[Serbia national football team|Serbia]] on 14 October 2014 in [[Belgrade]], a match witch was abandoned in the 42nd minute due to incidents that happened during the match. Serbia was awarded 3–0 victory but deducted 3 points.)</ref> -->? First that's not a reference but a note which is linked with the abandoned match of the football, as for that we have talked early at WikiProject Football, see all Discussion to know more. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 14:53, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

@Eni.Sukthi.Durres: A few things
  1. Yes this user is OK and not hacked, I meant to do 1 undo but accidentaly reverted all edits. Please assume good faith.
  2. I am not an administrator I am just a regular editor (with some experience).
  3. Yes, I was talking about the ref-tag. Some editors has been using it as a note, and it is not wrong to have a note explaining that one of the matches was an interupted match.
Sorry for reverting all edits, but the note/ref should stay. QED237 (talk) 16:48, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Got it, its Ok thank you and I wish you to have good work. Greetings. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 20:24, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, you to. QED237 (talk) 20:28, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Questions

Hi,
I have three questions to ask, if you could answer the way I ask them.

  • When blocked can a user edit their talk page
  • When blocked can a user edit their user page
  • Why is a sock–puppet account usually blocked indefinitely?

Cheers TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 03:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: I will try and answer as good as possible.
  • A block user can edit their talkpage until an administrator thinks they are being abusive on the talkpage. They should be able to edit their own talkpage to discuss the block and make unblock requests.
  • Same as above, it is their page so they should be able to edit it, at least until they start vandalize it and use it for some sort of "attack" against someone.
  • Wikipedia does not allow sockpuppets, it is a serious matter. It is seen as a breach of trust to have multiple accounts. Multiple accounts can be used in "voting" to reach the result they want, avoid blocks and so on which is not acceptable. You can read about the reasons at WP:SOCK.
Hope this answers your questions. QED237 (talk) 10:30, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

QED

I am not making disruptive posts, so I don't see what your problem is. No one else takes care of the page and information that is old is often left on there. So I have taken it upon myself because no one else will and I am updating the players stats and appearances. Not sure why you continue to revert my posts as like I said they are absolutely not disruptive. The information is 100% accurate as I physically watch every game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.3.83.168 (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

@67.3.83.168: As I said to you at your talkpage and in the edits, NO LIVE UPDATES are allowed and continuing to add these live updates is disruptive. QED237 (talk) 22:35, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

You must be joking. That is absolutely not disruptive. In fact I have been doing it for over a full year now and this is the first time anyone has said anything remotely negative regarding it. That proves it is not causing problems. Again, like I said everything is completely factual and if I don't do it who will because no one else has done it for the last two seasons. If I was causing problems and destroying articles I can see you getting upset. But I am being a productive member and bettering the page on which I edit. Get over your power trip man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.177.144.200 (talk) 17:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

No I am not joking. On wikipedia we follow rules and guidelines and I have seen editors being blocked for live updating. QED237 (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Please explain to me what actual issue this is causing for anyone other than the fact you are being a scrooge about it? This literally hurts no one so I cannot understand what the problem is. Wouldn't you be better off yelling at people that are actually making inappropriate edits rather than someone who is adding accurate information to the Wikipedia database? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.7.193.80 (talk) 18:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The consensus has been based on discussions where editors has expressed concerns about live updates. For example one of the issues is that a match can get interupted/abandonned and in those cases goalscorers dont exist anymore. An other issue is that one editor may come in and add a goal and 30 seconds later a new editor come in add add the same goal (not seeing it was already updated). Also wikipedia is not a newsticker, we rely on sources and during matches there are no reliable sources that has been updated. You can read more at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football and at the template created for pages with live updating isssue (Template:Livescores editnotice) and the discussions Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 81#Live scoring and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 81#Live updates (again).

Adding site links to pages

Hi, I recently added a site link to the FA Cup trophies page to the current manufacturer, which you indicated was promotional. All previous maker have links except the current one. The edit was relevant and useful for people reading the page. Please let me know your reasoning why this and not others is not relevant for the user? Thanks, michael — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelwant (talkcontribs) 13:05, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

First of all we never link to websites inside text, those links are wikilinks only and hiding links in the prose/article is considered promotional, if readers should click on link in article you made them go to an other website (not wikipedia). Usually from what I know we never links to special "personal pages", not sure why one link to an other page is there. QED237 (talk) 13:10, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Abuse ?

Recently I have been looking through the talk pages of some users and on a few I have found notices saying You have been blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges what does abuse of editing privileges mean? TeaLover1996 (talk) 05:05, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Pretty much as it says, someone has not followed guidelines and editied diruptively. At least I think so. QED237 (talk) 11:33, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Again

Hey, the user at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup is back adding stuff that is not needed. Maybe if you can help again, would be nice. Already reverted him twice. Kante4 (talk) 12:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kante4: Done I have looked at it and reverted. If the editor continues I believe it is appropriate with a warning for edit warring. QED237 (talk) 12:36, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

English please, this is english wikipedia. QED237 (talk) 12:37, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Merci. Warning does not do anything for him/her. Just wanting to push their style through. So, 3RR or what to do? Kante4 (talk) 12:38, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
@Kante4: I believe the editor must have been warned before reported (even if warning dont help). I will give warning now and if the editor continues then we report. QED237 (talk) 12:41, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
I warned him (you are correct with warning before reporting). Would be nice if you can report him if he continues (which he did) and i chip in. Kante4 (talk) 12:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
The editor self reverted, so I will wait a few minutes before reporting. QED237 (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
@Kante4: Okay it is time. WP:AIV or WP:AN3? QED237 (talk) 12:46, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
AN3 as it is not clear vandalism, just slightly disruptive. Kante4 (talk) 12:49, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
@Kante4: Now reported at WP:AN3. QED237 (talk) 12:58, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Added and thanks. But what about when he edits again (like he did). Kante4 (talk) 13:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
@Kante4: Since it is not clear vandalism, we should wait for it to be decided at WP:AN3 and after that I think we can restore article if an other editor has not done it already. No big harm showing a flag a while even if it should not be there. Reverting again will most certainly lead to an edit war and the editor inserting flag again. QED237 (talk) 13:04, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Guessed the same. Let's wait. Now he can talk english all of a sudden... Kante4 (talk) 13:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, lets wait. QED237 (talk) 13:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Now he always writes something on my talkpage... Kante4 (talk) 13:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Salah

I think you made a mistake salah actually played 7 matches and scored 6 goals — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.44.191.10 (talk) 00:20, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

No mistake, as I said infobxes are for LEAGUE ONLY and he has not played 7 matches in Serie A (according to source and career stats section). Both comment where you edit the numbers (how could you miss that?) and bottom of the infobox clearly states league only. So as I said, no mistake. QED237 (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

are you all crazy? i just add a flag.............

are you all crazy? i just add a flag............. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 李建兴 (talkcontribs) 13:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

And we explained many times that it is not allowed per WP:MOS and you continue to do so. Kante4 (talk) 13:10, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
No we are not crazy, as User:Kante4 says the flag should not be there per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG and template documentation and you keep on adding it. QED237 (talk) 13:12, 5 March 2015 (UTC

oh so so .I see but why evrything i change的,都被say no ?? i think you are mechine men 机器人呢,哈哈 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 李建兴 (talkcontribs)

Have we changed everything? The flags should not be there so they are removed. Also there is already a list of teams on the page and we dont need two lists so that is also removed. Why would you need two lists of teams? We remove those edits that dont improve the article. QED237 (talk) 13:22, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

why evrything i change的,为什么我改的,都被撤销了,都被say no ??its no fair 对我不公平。to me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 李建兴 (talkcontribs) 13:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I get the feeling the english wikipedia is not for you. Kante4 (talk) 13:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
As I said, it does not improve the article, there is no need for two lists of teams and flag should not be there. If you made good and helpful edits they would remain in the article. It has nothing to do with editor it is about the content. QED237 (talk) 13:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

maybe i am right?if i am right.你们还会撤销吗?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 李建兴 (talkcontribs)

Just so you know that editor is correct, a flag is allowed there by MOS:INFOBOXFLAG "Examples of acceptable exceptions include military conflict infobox templates and infoboxes that include international competitions, such as FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games." (emphasis mine). -DJSasso (talk) 13:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I always saw it reverted from several users with the link given to MOS, so i went with it. Kante4 (talk) 13:36, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Yes me to, flags has from what I have ssen always been removed. But that does not excuse the edit warring and instertion of a second list of teams. QED237 (talk) 13:45, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

2005–06 UEFA Champions League

Yes, I think you made a mistake. I made these four changes:

  • removed WL to FC Artmedia Petržalka – page was moved
  • removed WL to MFK Petržalka – page was moved
  • removed WL to FC Petržalka 1898 – page was moved
  • fixed WL to "Real Madrd"

So, revert your revert! 213.151.215.195 (talk) 15:41, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

No mistake, the links you left were still not proper links, instead yhou made links to "Artmedia Petržalka" which is a redirect. QED237 (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I'm gonna create this WL: [[Artmedia Petržalka|FC Petržalka akadémia]] which is the new name of this club. 213.151.215.195 (talk) 16:13, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
That is still not a good link since article "Artmedia Petržalka" is a redirect. Without knowing everything about club it should probably be the other way around [[FC Petržalka akadémia|Artmedia Petržalka]]. QED237 (talk) 16:16, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Wenno123 (talk) 20:50, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@Wenno123: It was not the first time you edited against consensus see this diff and also this diff. Trying to change same content several times against consensus and without discussion is dorsuptive. Given your history you should be glad you have not been blocked before and removing warnings at you talkpage is not helping you, they exist anyway. It is nothing personal.

PL Positions by round

Does the consensus allow creating a separate page with just positions by round? Oldstone James (talk) 08:47, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

I gave you long answer at your talkpage. There is no use for such article. Also we use MATCHDAY because there are no such things as round in England, so we use the position at the end of the day that team played. And we have statto source that is just that, so dont add PL as source were you have to look up all dates by yourself. QED237 (talk) 12:01, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
Why does something need notability to be on Wikipedia? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 22:17, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

How can he change club when transfer window is closed (at least in many league)? And if you make unsourced edits they will be removed, it has nothing to do with me, no need to write about me as editor. QED237 (talk) 13:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Stop vandalizing my page! Either give full explanation for the reverts or dont touch my page!SupernovaeIA (talk) 21:18, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

@SupernovaeIA: Your page? Perhaps read WP:OWN? We follow source for result by MATCHDAY table (and other stats) and dont predict the future. It is posssibly the next matches for Chelsea is postponed so when they play their 28th match they are not first. I gave you explanation, you just refuse to listen.

WP:ADMIN & WP:BLOCK

If an editor has been blocked in the past, would it affect there chances of succeeding an application for adminship? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 09:31, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: That is hard to give a good answer to, but there is nothing that says you can not be an admin if you have been blocked. If you have learnt from the block and changed the way you edit to avoid blocks you could probably be a administrator in the future (as long as you dont have many blocks or a block in recent history).

Why did you cancelled the kit of Euro 2004? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.109.25 (talk) 00:16, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I reverted you because you changed the names of the kits, the articles and tournament names are 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012 so we name in the order of the tournament. I did not notice anything special about Euro 2014. QED237 (talk) 17:14, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Admin's Advantage

What does it mean when it says at Wikipedia:Administrators, that Administrators are users trusted with access to certain tools and never to use them to gain advantage in a dispute,also what does it mean to use the tools to gain advantage in a dispute,
any help appreciated TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 10:48, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: Not sure if I can explain it more clear then the text above. Shortly it can be explained like an administrator should not protect a page or block a person just to get their content on a page. If they argue with IP and protect page, then IP cant edit so the admin can choose what to write in the article, and a user block can work in the same way. They should not take advantage of their position. QED237 (talk) 14:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Userpages

Who should edit another users userpage, the user themself or another user under particular circumstances? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 21:06, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: There is probably a page for that, just try WP:USERPAGE or something. In my mind the editor should edit their own talkpage and no one else should edit it, unless there are clear vandalism and/or personal threats on the page. QED237 (talk) 22:32, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Don't you mean an editor should edit there userpage and no one else should edit it unless there is clearly vandalism, you said the talk page but I assume you meant userpage TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 10:06, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I meant the userpage. QED237 (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Blocking on Wikipedia?

Hi mate,
According to the blocking policy, blocks are not punitive (punishments) but are preventative (to prevent disruption and damage to Wikipedia), but wont some users think or feel that the block is punishment for their editing? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 17:05, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996:, It is hard for me to know how others think, but i guess that is a possibility. QED237 (talk) 22:13, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk 2014-15 UEFA Champions League

If the creator of the topic wants to explicit or implict remove or change his own comments (when reasonbly it is jistified) noone has the right to undo them. So it is UNFAIR and it is not in the spirit of the freedom of speech to maintain something that someone has wanted to change in order to improve the talk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.25.238.87 (talk) 23:06, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

You can not remove the comments you want in a conversation becuase when others read it they can follow the discussion if edits has been removed. On talkpages we leave comments as a record of the discussion. QED237 (talk) 23:24, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

What is the criteria used for ordering teams in the quarter-finals? If its by league ranking then Porto should be before the French teams. Thanks for your attention. The Replicator (talk) 22:46, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@The Replicator: The order (and criteria for the order) has not been discussed as far as I know (I added the list last week and no one has opposed or wanted to discuss the order). To me it seems logical that teams from the same association (country) are put together. To order the nations I use nation ranking for this tournament (which is in order Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and so on). After that the clubs from same country are ordered based on their team ranking. That is how I have done it and how i believe it has been done in the past, but it really does not matter that much as list will be removed after the draw on friday. QED237 (talk) 22:52, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
I made a mistake, Portugal was ranked above France, I corrected the order. QED237 (talk) 22:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I just wanted to be sure it was by league ranking. The Replicator (talk) 23:00, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

We update according to sources when that source is updated. Also update ENTIRE table, including timestamps and not just the part you like. QED237 (talk) 23:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)


Did you compare the source table line by line from the reference link? It was updated at 23:44:47 CET 18 Mar 2015, so I edited the table and retrieving date, but you reverted my edit with comment 'unsourced'. Shineyhj (talk) 00:22, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

@Shineyhj: Thats weird, it was not updated when I looked at it. Anyway the date should not have been 19 March, Europa League matches are played 19 march and they had not been counted as readers may think if we write "19 March". QED237 (talk) 00:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

"RVV"

"RVV" typically means reverting vandalism. Please exercise more discretion when you revert or use such terms. --BDD (talk) 17:55, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

@BDD: Sorry about that, I will think about that, but you did remove Diego Costa without reason and instead added a player who has not scored 18 goals as of 16 March (you did not update timestamp). The statistics in infobox (all stats) should be updated together with updating the timestamp which is often done at the end of matchdays when sources has updated. QED237 (talk) 17:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
I won't bother with this, but this is a very peculiar way of editing that doesn't happen anywhere else, as far as I can tell. I should've updated the timestamp and the goal count, but it would've been far more constructive of you to do so yourself than to simply revert me. --BDD (talk) 18:01, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Why did you cancelled the Euro 2004 kit from Italy national football team page? You did not give any reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.128.154.122 (talk) 12:47, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Sources

If a player scores against a team in a football match and the source is an article on the BBC Sport website, is this a primary, secondary or teritary source? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 18:22, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: Since it is not coming from the player himself it is not primary so I would say secondary source. QED237 (talk) 23:09, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

I recently received notification my page was patrolled on Wikipedia, I am confused though because the page is Ραφ13π, so why I have been notified of it being patrolled when it is someone elses userpage, can you help me?

@Qed237:, I created the page by accident I intended to place the {{Talkback}} template on the talk page to let the user know I had left a message for them on my talk page but I created the user page instead of the talk page, so I blanked the userpage and placed the template on the talkpage instead :) TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 00:59, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

What I tried to say is Viva my Dear Mexico friend!

I am having a hard time seeing Mexico going far and they would probably have been eliminated by Costa Rica. They had an easy group and it is one thing to be good at your own area "south america" and then come to europe. It would supprise me if Mexico go passed group stage if they even manage to get through qualification. QED237 (talk) 22:52, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Kosovo-Albania match - 2010

Hi Qed237, thank you for your cooperation. I'm thinking something and I need your help. You know the Kosovo national football team's case of being not full recognized by FIFA and UEFA, but it's permitted to play international friendlies with the FIFA members. The question is, should we count the Kosovo's matches before being permitted by UEFA and FIFA (before 2014) as a cap for their players who participated in all matches also the opponent players even? For example one of the "big" website for national football teams, the national-football-teams.com count the match Kosovo-Albania in 2002 and award caps to both sides players. Such as this match, another was played between the same countys in 2010 but it's not published at the National-football-teams.com, but can I use this source to add caps to respective players who played in this match. Thank you. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 13:20, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

@Eni.Sukthi.Durres: Hi, I am glad to hear from you. Unfortunately in this case I am not very sure, it is a special situation. In my mind I think the most important thing is some sort of note to explain what matches are counted, but I dont know what matches to count. Perhaps a new discussion at WT:FOOTY is the best? Sorry I could not be of much help. QED237 (talk) 15:42, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
You are honored, thanks for that and yes I will going to a new discussion at WT:FOOTY to know more, greetings. Eni.Sukthi.Durres (talk) 19:26, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Must we protect the 2014–15 La Liga article?

Hi, Qed. As you can see the IP editor continues adding his stats and changing referenced contents (like the lowest attendance data). Must we request a semi-protection for the page? Greetings. Asturkian (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

@Asturkian: I have tried asking for protection of that article in the past but for some reason without much luck, but I definately think you should try. QED237 (talk) 13:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
@Asturkian: Taking a second look I reverted and warned the user and since it is only one IP it is not enough for a protection. However that user should stop removing maintanance tags saying section is unsourced without adding a source and also not add new unsourced content. QED237 (talk) 13:46, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Javad Nekounam - Assistance

Hi there QED, (former) ALWAYSLEARNING "speaking",

can you assist me in adding (someone suggested me that at WP:FOOTY) a hidden message in this player's infobox, saying that THREE caps are considered unofficial by FIFA and thus he has 148 appearances, not 151? I tried, but my display was very poor :(

Ah, and note this: AFTER my insertion (and talkpage explanation), people continue to add "151", without one word in summary of course. Cheers, thanks in advance --84.90.219.128 (talk) 22:42, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Nevermind, hidden message disregarded and REMOVED, now I add a ref where the player says he is not thinking of retirement as of today, they go to his box and write "2000-2015" in Iran spell. They will get tired first believe me, maybe I get a block for 3RR, but they will too I presume no? --84.90.219.128 (talk) 23:31, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
I will take a look when I have the time, but WT:FOOTY is probably the best help you can get. QED237 (talk) 12:13, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Do not understand the problem with my first message: I consulted WP:FOOTY, the only reply I got was that infobox suggestion, which I inserted only to be removed without one word in summary. Nevermind i'll fight this battle alone, reverting and ignoring. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 15:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

I am sorry if I came across as aggressive or similar, but I am feeling very frustrated by this wiki-situation. Thanks for your time and attention. --84.90.219.128 (talk) 17:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

I totally understand you, it can be frustrating. I just have not much time to help at the moment. QED237 (talk) 19:49, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Newspaper

Although Wikipedia is not a newspaper, it does report small news in articles am I right? TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 23:01, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

@TeaLover1996: Yes, small news can be seen in articles but the idea is that just because it is mentioned in news does not mean it is notable enough to include on wikipedia. QED237 (talk) 10:42, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Yes that confirms what I thought, cheers :) TeaLover1996 Lets talk about it 12:48, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I got your point, sir. Thanks for the feedback. You shall thank me for my feedback as well. Proper grammar and sources are what Wikipedia relies on, even if you must talk to someone on a comment.

Wow, I missed a dot or two when writning at a talkpage, but you understood me, right? As I said that dont make you right to add content without source.

Status letters

Hi, what would be the correct status letter to use for teams such as Barnet, who have qualified for at least a play-off place in the Conference Premier, but are currently not in a play-off position, instead in an automatic promotion place?

@ChrisMorris1234: I am not sure, last season no letters were used until they secured the spot they were in. But I see T is now used in Dutch tables and may be good. I opened a discussion at Module talk:Sports table#Statusletters on league tables QED237 (talk) 11:30, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Netherlands' ponits in the 3rd place template

I am a fan of Netherlands national football team and I DON'T ACCEPT that you undo my edit on the 3rd place template for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers. Netherlands has 7 points, not 4. There are also other teams that had their points unchanged in this template.

@95.76.186.28: Then I am afraid you have not read the rules. The match against the last placed team (6th) do not count so for all teams only 4 matchers count (against 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th placed teams). QED237 (talk) 11:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Netherlands have met Czech Republic (1–2), Iceland (0–2), Turkey (1–1), Latvia (6–0), Kazakstan (3–1) and since Kazakstan is last place in group that match dont count according to UEFA rules and only the first four results (against Czech Republic, Iceland, Turkey and Latvia is counted) and those results are used in the third-placed table.

@95.76.186.28: No problem, you are not the first and not the last one to be confused about these rules from UEFA. I think the reason is because there are only 5 teams in the last group and all teams should have the same chance (same amount of matches). QED237 (talk) 14:00, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
