Linguistics

Can you please lend a hand (or an arm, I won't be picky)? At Éver Banega, I'm having some trouble translating "vuelta", don't know if there is an equivalent in English. In a two-legged tie (various competitions), you have "partido de ida" (first leg) and "partido de vuelta" (second leg). However, in a LEAGUE, the "primera vuelta" is the first set of (in Spain's case, or England for that matter) 19 games, the following 19 rounds are called "segunda vuelta".

Do correct if you have the proper expression, I also did that in Gorka Elustondo and God knows where else :(

Incredible, but true! Just in Éder (Portuguese footballer), I have seen TWO accounts scrambling the box, one of them an established user (who reverted me in several other accounts there as well, go figure, have already conversed with her, waiting for a reply - This just in! Noticed it the other day, replied nearly everyone but me at her page, beats me why this happens but it's not the first time, nor the second or third (not speaking of one sole user, overall). Maybe it's me, could be).

I am going to talk about this with a footy-connected admin, to see if we are missing something. --Be Quiet AL (talk) 22:27, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your last message has FOUR DAYS but only now did I see it, (another!) cleanup is in order. Yes, I had already read portions of Babunski Jr's letter. The guy you want is Javi Poves, you helped out greatly in that article. --Be Quiet AL (talk) 17:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ildefons Lima, have a look at my last summary. --Be Quiet AL (talk) 19:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted myself, sorry for the inconvenience. A bit sick and tired of different sources having different inputs for (supposedly) important data. --Be Quiet AL (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Darlington Nagbe

Hi there. Do you follow MLS football? Would you mind giving an opinion on the inclusion of this bit in the Darlington Nagbe article? Intuitively, the incident seems notable enough to me seen as it has been widely reported in the media. However, I don't feel sufficiently acquainted with Wikipedia's rules to be sure. Cheers, Robby.is.on (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. Very helpful! Robby.is.on (talk) 23:04, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The_Daily_Stormer

Hey there, sorry for that edit. Saw that misspelling and wanted to do a quick edit to fix it, but I had a joke meme addon on that screwed up the article, I was gonna undo it but you beat me to it. Anyway, the page that bit should be linked in that one bit is this one Traditionalist_Youth_Network — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.149.85.135 (talk) 18:49, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Calm Down

Memorable matches was not created by me, but it speaks for itself. Drawing England, drawing Netherlands and other impressive results for a country like Macedonia can be deemed as historic. After all, we are not some football power. I see nothing wrong with that and all of the results are right and not made up.

The more information, the better. What you are doing is overstepping your bounds.

With your decision to erase all that info, what is even the point of the page? You took almost 80% of the page. There is literally no content.

I am not an expert at Wikipedia. I simply do not have the time to know all of the rules. What I can say is that having a brief summary and listing the results of the past qualifications should not be erased. Nothing written there was wrong. If I had the time, I would read all of the sourcing ruled.

I am an objective person and rather reasonable, but what you are doing is wrong. If anything written was wrong, I would gladly erase it. Nobody wants and I despite false editing here. I want people to be informed, but what you did in deleting most of the information is simply wrong.

In regards to your new message, I will be brief. I have to get going in a bit. I didn't even write the stuff that was on the page. It has been there for years. I have not been active lately, but before I usually focused on the squad and caps. Nobody has ever accused me of false editing or having some kind of an agenda. What compelled you to all of a sudden delete that stuff? Why did you focus on this page in particular. Look, it is a simple page, nothing sophisticated like other football powers. But, with your action, you might as well delete the rest of page. There is literally no content now. In closing, I would ask you to reconsider. Anyways, I have to get going now.
