Hi, Mattythewhite.

Hi, thanks for that, I was also fixing the stats but you've done it faster hahaha, there's still one match remaining, on season 2009-10 it says "One appearance in UEFA Super Cup, 11 appearances and eight goals in UEFA Champions League", but the total count is 11 matches (not counting that UEFA Super Cup match). Thank you again, [[User:SaintJimmy94|SaintJimmy94]] ([[User talk:SaintJimmy94|talk]]) 16:30, 23 November 2014

== My Wikipedia input ==

While I appreciate assistance from other Wikipedia users, I do not appreciate "final warnings" and find that inappropriate. I assume that all accounts are monitored for anyone deliberately "vandalizing" the site. I will not re-enter information that you have deleted and will be more careful looking for references for edits in future.

Hello, i put the total carreer of Bobby Hosker on the site with my site as bron.

Hi mate I would appreciate the help if you could removed any unsourced numbers for Huth, Okazaki and Fuchs, the club haven't announced their squad numbers as of yet. [[User:Skitzouk|Jimmy Skitz's]] [[User talk:Skitzouk|Answer Machine]] 12:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

== One to keep an eye on? ==

I have already reverted all, but have a look at this version of [[David Fuster]] (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=David_Fuster&diff=672398007&oldid=672397951), with the following highlights: 1 - intro, after "five national championships"; 2 - late storyline, two "charmers", "The team's fans were ecstatic at the announcement of the player's contract renewal." (always the fans!) followed by WP:CRYSTAL like no other.

I wager that Mr. CONSTANTINEIRO999 deserves a word of caution, but since I am not very diplomatic or at least not all I should be, I bring this to your capable judgement. What do you think? Speaking of "think", I "think" he will not give a fudge about any word of caution anyone might issue, but I hope to be sorely mistaken.

Attentively --[[Special:Contributions/84.90.219.128|84.90.219.128]] ([[User talk:84.90.219.128|talk]]) 16:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

*In a related matter, don't know if the anon "user" afterwards is also this guy, but they decided that no, Mr. Fuster never played for Villarreal B, only Villarreal A.

== Page move ==

Only an admin can perform it now, can you please move [[López Silva]] to "José López Silva"? I explain: yes, he is known by those two names, but keep in mind BOTH are surnames, it would be like having articles named "Rooney", "Casillas" or "Zidane".

Attentively, thanks in advance --[[Special:Contributions/84.90.219.128|84.90.219.128]] ([[User talk:84.90.219.128|talk]]) 20:02, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
:Looking at his [http://www.bdfutbol.com/en/j/j12616.html BDFutbol profile], it seems as though he is usually known as López Silva. And per [[WP:COMMONNAME]], "Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used". So I think the current title is appropriate. [[User:Mattythewhite|Mattythewhite]] ([[User talk:Mattythewhite#top|talk]]) 20:07, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

BDFUTBOL presents the players always that way, [[Iker Casillas]] is also presented as "Casillas" there (see here http://www.bdfutbol.com/j/j1090.html) but is WP page is "Iker Casillas" not "Casillas", no? I have presented my arguments, title stays as it is if you want. --[[Special:Contributions/84.90.219.128|84.90.219.128]] ([[User talk:84.90.219.128|talk]]) 20:49, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

== Stopping Vandalizers ==

Hey MattytheWhite

Firstly great job on Wiki. You're always spot on with seeing the vandal info popping up on various football articles. It's frustrating to see so much vandalism!

Just wondering how you're so quickly able to see when people make edits. I've added some pages to my watchlist but still have to go back and check each page individually to see what changes have been made. Any tools you use to help you?
--[[User:Shreerajtheauthor|Shreerajtheauthor]] ([[User talk:Shreerajtheauthor|talk]]) 22:31, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, thanks for your kind words! I'm able to detect vandalism by having (probably too) many articles on my watchlist and checking it regularly. I use [[WP:TWINKLE|Twinkle]] to revert vandalism and report users, I would highly recommend it. See [[WP:TWINKLE#Quick info|here]] for instructions on installing it. [[User:Mattythewhite|Mattythewhite]] ([[User talk:Mattythewhite#top|talk]]) 23:09, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
::No problem. I just noticed the Twinkle changed when I am on people's talkpage. I think I got it.

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]]

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

== Pushing your POV might be no different than vandalism in the eyes of many ==

I strongly object to your recent edit to the [[List of Manchester City F.C. players]] article. Not so much to what was done but to the way it was done. You clearly do not understand that fundamental to Wikipedia is the principle of [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]. To nominate a template for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 August 5|23:54 on 5 August 2015]] and for you to delete it as if some sort of consensus had already been obtained for your actions at [[List_of_Manchester_City_F.C._players&oldid=674759848|23:50 on 5 August 2015]] gives other editors a window of -4 minutes to discuss this issue to arrive at the required consensus for deletion. To have added the banner to the right of the navbox stating that it was now being considered for deletion - only by you I might add - so as to squish everything over to the left of the screen making it appear that the navbox is the cause of such a problem only serves to support your claim in a manner that is hardly fair and just in this instance. Your edit was clearly designed to negatively influence other editors against the navbox remaining and can hardly be seen to be the result of an editor applying any sort of fair rationale and objective decision making.

If you wish to delete that navbox for the reasons you have stated then please feel free to open a discussion topic on the [[Talk:List_of_Manchester_City_F.C._players|Talk page of the article in question]] which is the appropriate place to handle such issues. If you obtain a consensus there for your actions from the editors that regularly contribute to that article then the subsequent deletion of the navbox will become a formality. To simply delete the navbox in the manner that you have done without first obtaining such a consensus in the standard Wikipedia fashion is no different than vandalism - except I and other editors are able to simply revert obvious vandalism edits, but I personally have no idea how to revert your hack placement of that bogus banner claiming a non-existent discussion process is currently occurring, when what is really happening is that an editor that has made zero constructive contributions to that article is now using such a bogus process to push his own POV regarding the continued existence or deletion of the navbox. —<span style="border:1px solid #000;padding:1px;">&nbsp;<font style="font-family:Segoe print;color:maroon">''not really here''</font> [[User talk:Me? I'm not really here|<font style="background:#AAD0FF;color:maroon"><small>discuss</small></font>]]</span> 13:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

:It's not been deleted, and a proper discussion is taking place as the banner next to the template indicates. The deletion discussion is [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 August 5|here]]. [[User:Fenix down|Fenix down]] ([[User talk:Fenix down|talk]]) 13:18, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

:{{ec}} Claiming that nominating a redundant and obstructive template for deletion is "no different than vandalism" is a frankly laughable assertion. If you wish to express your opinion on the TfD, you of course can at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 August 5#Template:Manchester City F.C. navbox|the discussion]]. Although it does seem a clear [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] is forming there, which should satisfy you judging by what you say above. [[User:Mattythewhite|Mattythewhite]] ([[User talk:Mattythewhite#top|talk]]) 13:21, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

::No, what is frankly laughable is your whole boorish POV approach to this issue. To request discussion on whether the template should be deleted or not AFTER you have already deleted it from the article hardly demonstrates a fair and objective approach to the matter to be discussed. You are clearly putting the cart before the horse. The normal practice in such matters is to delete or remove the item in question only AFTER a consensus to do so has been obtained, not BEFORE. You show your lack of objectivity in this matter by automatically assuming you are right and presupposing the outcome of what is meant to be an open democratic discussion by deleting the template from the article before any consensus had been obtained to do so. I don't disagree that the template contents are mostly redundant. But exactly how is it obstructive? What is it obstructing you from doing in your life? That is such a revealingly bias and emotionally subjective comment from you. I have been editing the article in question quite extensively for the past month or so and that navbox is hardly the thing I would most want to change next in the article. It is not the removal of the navbox I object to, it is your manner of going about things that annoys me. You have made no constructive contributions to the article but now you wish to force your blatantly POV agenda on it from afar by seeking consensus from other editors that have similarly made no contributions to the article. The correct way to do this is to seek the consensus of the actual contributing editors to the article in question. That is the only consensus that counts - not the bogus "kangaroo court" type process that you have embarked upon. —<span style="border:1px solid #000;padding:1px;">&nbsp;<font style="font-family:Segoe print;color:maroon">''not really here''</font> [[User talk:Me? I'm not really here|<font style="background:#AAD0FF;color:maroon"><small>discuss</small></font>]]</span> 15:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

:::{{ping|User talk:Fenix down}} Let me add this as a clarification to both of you (Fenix and Matty). When I first saw the format-breaking banner caused by Matty's initiated TfD process I followed the link in the banner to the TfD discussion page and there was only one posting there - a vote to delete by someone called "Dirtlawyer", I believe. This was early in the morning (my time) and I had made an edit to the article only the previous evening, so I was somewhat incensed by the fact that Matty appeared to have thought he had achieved a consensus (by the agreement of one other vote) in a time span of less than 8 hours that justified his going ahead and deleting the template in question. That would have been such an egregious corruption of the Wikipedia concept of consensus gathering, but hardly the first one to ever occur on Wikipedia. When you have been around Wikipedia awhile you will realise that smart-arse editors wishing to boorishly push their own agendas play fast and loose with the concept of consensus all the time. And this appeared to be what I was dealing with here. It was what prompted me to make my initial post above.
:::When I actually got into writing my post and trying to explain that such a short window of a few hours was hardly an adequate period of time for other editors to have their say on this issue, I discovered as I inserted my internal links into the two times shown in my initial post - the time of the TfD initiation and the time of Matty's edit deleting the navbox from the article - that he had actually deleted the navbox from the article before he had even initiated the TfD process, which only incensed me more because it implied the -4 minutes window I ultimately complained about rather than the 8+ hours window I had initially come here to point out as being a ludicrously short length of time for any editor to have used in claiming that he had already achieved consensus for going ahead and deleting the template. Which is the cause of my using phraseology such as "kangaroo court", etc. It is completely the wrong order in which to do things and I fully stand by the harsh wording of my previous admonition of Matty for doing that.
:::However, there is a conflation of two separate processes also going on here, which is mostly caused by Matty executing those two actions one after the other. The deletion of the template from the article is a separate action from the initiation of the TfD process, but in doing the two actions virtually together it created the following unfavorable situation. As the next editor looking at the article I raised my eyebrows somewhat when I saw the implied ''ad hominem'' attack in Matty's edit summary - to have written "rm redundant navbox" would have been impersonal and neutral, but to write "rm needless navbox" instead is not. They may seem like synonymous summaries but "needless" has strong pejorative overtones that "redundant" does not carry - it implies that the redundancy was maliciously or incompetently introduced by the editor that added the navbox rather than something that may have simply happened over time. It was not the most egregious violation of Wikipedia guidance on how to write edit summaries - I'm sure I've written plenty of more scathing edit summaries than that one in my time - but in this instance it had an attributing "pouring fuel on the fire" effect on everything else that played out here, and you can see how defencive of his actions it made Falastur2 in his contribution to the TfD discussion.
:::The other contributing factor in this whole comedy of errors is the blatant bug in the code associated with the TfD initiation process that places its notification banners to the right of the template being identified for TfD rather than above or below them, which is always going to cause a format problem with a right-aligned template, as in this case. Once I had reverted Matty's edit on the basis I felt he was jumping the gun in deleting something he had not yet obtained any consensus to delete and then followed the banner's link to the TfD discussion and saw that Matty's rationale for deleting the template was that it was causing format issues in the article - which it wasn't, it was the TfD banner introduced by his own actions that was causing the problems he was complaining about - no fair-thinking person can blame me for calling him out on his apparent hypocrisy. Having since thought about this I now realize Matty had no control over the placement of that banner, but he was totally out of order to use its format breaking effect on the articles (note: having had a chance to look over Matty's prior edits today I now realise he removed it from a number of MCFC-related articles before initiating the TfD, but I rarely access let alone edit any of the others) as a self-serving justification for its removal. The redundancy argument was quite sufficient (as I've already pointed out in the TfD discussion), and Matty needs to be man enough to take full responsibility for most of the negative consequences caused by his actions, particularly once they were pointed out to him. —<span style="border:1px solid #000;padding:1px;">&nbsp;<font style="font-family:Segoe print;color:maroon">''not really here''</font> [[User talk:Me?

== Lee Nogan ==

Hi Matty

Sorry it's taken me forever to find how to reply to you... Lee Nogan is PE teacher at St Barnabas Primary School where my daughter went until this summer. He was a bit of a local hero for me and my wife before our kids were born, so to have our youngest being taught by him and calling him 'Mr Nogan' was quite funny.. I've never edited anything before and just signed up to reply to you.. Whether you feel inclined to put it back, leave it out or research it yourself a bit, is up to you.. But looking at other things on your talkpage, I commend you on what must be a time consuming job keeping trouble causers and amateurs like me at bay.. :-) Take it easy.. Cheers.. [[User:Clumpyplumpy|Clumpyplumpy]] ([[User talk:Clumpyplumpy|talk]]) 22:34, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
:Heh, I'm guessing you're not a York fan if you regard Lee Nogan as a "local hero" :) The thing is, all content here needs to cited by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], meaning you can't add stuff from personal experience, as that is [[WP:OR|original research]]. I'll see if I can find anything online about Mr Nogan's new career. Thanks, [[User:Mattythewhite|Mattythewhite]] ([[User talk:Mattythewhite#top|talk]]) 13:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

It's a great idea and I think we can probably knock that up. My worry is time.

== Appearance count ==
== Kobbie Mainoo's Height ==


Hi, i corrected the height of Kobbie Mainoo recently, most sources have this wrongly down as 175cm, when in fact is more 183-184cm. There are several stories confirming this and a video of a presenter asking him about EAFC football game mistaking his height, they do a live measurement on this show, Cole Palmer taking the measurement and clarifying this. So please update his measurement to the correct measurement as it seems most computer games and websites are basing their work off of his wikipedia info.
If a footballer plays a match, should his appearance count (and goal count if necessary) be updated? What if the previous appearance count was incorrect, and you simply add 1 to the appearance count? Would you then be blocked for accidentally just adding 1 (as you'd get test warnings or something, even though it's not the user's fault who added an extra 1)? [[User:Leeds United FC fan|Leeds United FC fan]] ([[User talk:Leeds United FC fan|talk]]) 17:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
:Users should always consult with sources (in this case, Soccerbase, Soccerway etc) before updating any content, including appearance data. If an editor was continually doing it being receiving numerous warnings, then a block would probably be justified.

Hi Matty. In international goals tables, why are you removing the full stop from the sentence "Scores and results list Templatonia's goal tally first, score column indicates score after each Template goal"? As far as I can tell, it's a complete sentence with a subject, a verb and an object and per [[MOS:CAPFRAG]] should go with a full stop. Kind regards, [[User:Robby.is.on|Robby.is.on]] ([[User talk:Robby.is.on|talk]]) 11:11, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|Robby.is.on}} Maybe, but the way it's worded doesn't feel to me like a properly constructed sentence you'd find in regular prose. If I were to word it like a standalone sentence it would be something like "The scores and results columns list Templatonia's goal tally first, while the score column indicates the score after each Template goal".

Kobbie Mainoo's Height

[edit]

Hi, i corrected the height of Kobbie Mainoo recently, most sources have this wrongly down as 175cm, when in fact is more 183-184cm. There are several stories confirming this and a video of a presenter asking him about EAFC football game mistaking his height, they do a live measurement on this show, Cole Palmer taking the measurement and clarifying this. So please update his measurement to the correct measurement as it seems most computer games and websites are basing their work off of his wikipedia info.

Here are a few links to back this up:

IPA

[edit]

Hello Mattythewhite, Why did you revert the IPA in the football player's articles? --BigBullfrog (talk) 17:58, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BigBullfrog: I've only removed them when they've been unsourced. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:42, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike English, languages like German, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Portuguese have very consistent spelling-to-pronunciation rules. Therefore, when transcribing names from these languages using IPA, one only needs to follow the MOS:PRON and Help:IPA (H:IPA-DE, H:IPA-FR, H:IPA-NL, etc.). According to the conventions of Wikipedia, IPA transcriptions for these languages do not need sources unless they are strange or exotic (e.g. Mbappé). So, the IPA for Benjamin Pavard and Stefan de Vrij is correct. These pronunciations do have sources (e.g. interview videos), but it's not necessary to add them in articles. --BigBullfrog (talk) 15:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
