Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Seattle Reign FC. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. {{updated}} is appropriate, rather than prose, and per WP:V , a reference is required.

PK draws
Where does it say that a "match that went to PK counts as a draw officially"? I can't find any reference to this online. --Oneforfortytwo (talk) 00:26, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
- See https://twitter.com/ussoccer_wnt/status/798021032791535616 for example. For official statistics purposes, penalty shootouts count as a draw. Mightytotems (talk) 08:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO? |
 According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome. |
New initiatives have been created for:
While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page. |

Chicago Red Stars
Hi, may i ask you why did you kept Rosie White and removed Miller and Boyles. According to this all three players were acquired by Red Stars. I am just trying to understand i hope you Forgive me, my English isn't strong, thank you --Mojackjutaily (talk) 22:38, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Of course! Rosie White was a contracted player with Boston Breakers, so if selected she would be immediately added to the roster. Whereas Miller and Boyles are 2018 draft picks who are not signed to a contract yet; Chicago only selected their NWSL rights. If/when they are signed to an NWSL contract by Chicago, then they will be added to the roster. Mightytotems (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- now i understand, so we have to remove all 2018 draft picks from the teams, thank you.--Mojackjutaily (talk) 12:19, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited NWSL Player Allocation, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jane Campbell, Taylor Smith and Rebecca Quinn (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative.
WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}
Want some tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? |

Hello! I reverted your edits on the Vyan Sampson as the only source cannot be deemed reliable, as noted here. Do you know of a reliable source elsewhere? I had a quick look and couldn't find anything at all. R96Skinner (talk) 13:44, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1){kind=link}
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Orphaned non-free image File:Reign FC crest (2019).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Reign FC crest (2019).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. SounderBruce 01:49, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
It's not about sources
If you'd like to discuss your feeling that the captains need to be decorated, feel free to find an appropriate place to do so. My talk page is not the right place. Most teams, including European teams, do not decorate the captains. The few cases where it happens, they use a reference directly from the club. Not a tweet or other social media content. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:08, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Your assertion that "Most teams, including European teams, do not decorate captains" is not reflected by existing convention on Wikipedia; even if it were true, you alone do not get to unilaterally decide notability criteria in this case while denigrating other's dissenting opinion as "feeling". For example, of the 18 still-existing football club articles rated at featured article status (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:FA-Class_football_articles), 13 include captaincy information in first-team squad section (and it would've been 14 if you hadn't revert my sourced edits again on Seattle Sounders FC). So it seems that you are the one who has strong feelings in this case. I can improve the verifiability of sources, but please do not unilaterally revert already-sourced edits again. If you want to build a consensus on this subject and incorporate it into the football club page template in the future, I suggest that you take your own advice and find another appropriate place to do so. Mightytotems (talk) 18:53, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Also, here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seattle_Sounders_FC&oldid=885676842 you wrote "Not at that source." Then upon further edits, you turned around and say "It's not about sources". Your attitude and changing messages do not suggest good faith when I approached you initially politely with constructive suggestions and discussions. Mightytotems (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The usual order is WP:BRD, not bold, revert, revert and hope to discuss through edit summaries. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:11, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
