Updating stats

Hi there, edits like this this ↗ are not really necessary - there is no need to update the date if the stats themselves haven't changed. Any questions, please ask. Regards, Giant Snowman 12:32, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
:Hi, again, edits like this ↗ (where you change the date but not the playing stats) are not needed, and potentially confusing. Regards, Giant Snowman 15:59, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

As per guidelines we use the country he '''has''' represented at international level, this is only Northern Ireland, he has never played for anyone else and therefore it is incorrect to use the Irish flag.

I saw you did not understand why Czech Republic is eliminated.

Junior Cup finals

Just a note to say thanks for improving the Cup final list and table additions. Sorry about the runners up totals, obviously I thought it was correct but to be honest I was doing it on the sly in work and didn't have time to check my total against the number of finals - should have done so later tho. And I thought I had done the correct dashes (and entered all the scores!!) but obviously missed that too.

The display in two columns doesn't look much better on my phone, have to say, but hopefully displays better on a monitor and definitely worth a try, I agree the original way was untidy and overly long.

Cheers again and sorry it was necessary to fix so much (and thanks for keeping the edit summaries polite, some scorn in my direction would definitely have been merited!) Crowsus (talk) 12:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

::Of course you're not encroaching, I made some additions but there were some oversights (quite a lot!) and you fixed them, that's the name of the game. Suppose you could rearrange the table, whatever you think, but I changed the type to sortable so it would be easy for people to look at the different lists anyway.

:Works for me. Sometimes there's a cache issue when you edit a template: The template itself is updated, but the artile it's used on still shows a cached version that doesn't yet include the change to the template.

Navboxes and categories

Hello, you may have noticed me reverting some recent changes to Highland League team articles that you made, so I just wanted to explain my reasons. Firstly, regarding navboxes at the end of articles: these are designed to hep navigation between ''the articles included in the navbox'', and should only be placed on those articles, and not on ''all'' related articles. So, the :Template:Football in Scotland ↗ navbox, which links to more general articles and doesn't include individual clubs, doesn't belong on individual club articles. Secondly, regarding categories, articles don't generally need to be placed in every possible category on the tree, but just on the most specific ones. For example, articles placed into :Category:Highland Football League teams ↗ don't need to be in :Category:Highland Football League ↗ as well, as the club category is a subcategory of the more general one. I hope this is of some help. Jellyman (talk) 12:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing ↗'''—especially if you violate the three-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts ↗ on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.--<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000"> Toddy1 (talk)</span> 11:21, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

UEFA Super Cup

The Super Cup edits are made are in light of FIFA and UEFA recognition of member state successors and records belonging to contemporary leagues. The corrections were made also to be culturally aware and sensitive of post-Cold War politics in which many civilians disapprove of the past totalitarian legacies of the Cold War. Having Soviet and COld War era flags would not be a display of cultural competence and ignores the actuality of the recognition by FIFA of member state recognitions of honors and achievements.

UEFA Super Cup

The titles held by Kiev during the Soviet era should be counted in the Ukraine column since Dynamo Kiev is a Ukrainian club. However, we can add a footnote at the end to state that those finals were contested in the Soviet Era. Since the USSR is defunct and recognized by FIFA as such, we should respect it and make note.

Snooker Masters Qualifying

Hi I don't really know if you are up to speed with Snooker. The World Seniors hold qualifying events each season where the winner gets a place at the main event at one of their signature tournaments. The Seniors Masters always has a Qualifying event, it was done differently this year due to covid. They bunched everything in together which was called Seniors QSchool. The UK Seniors received 4 places, the World Seniors Championship received two places. That is why they had no final and were not included. However the Seniors Masters had a straight run competition with a final. So can you add the win back to Darren Morgan's page ?. Regards. The way they describe QSchool is not like the QSchool on the main tour ok 92.251.209.218 ↗ (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

This is all teams from SFR Yugoslavia from 1945-1992 and after 1992 from Croatia and Serbia. You cant put flag of Croatia for Hajduk or Dinamo from 1984 or 1956 etc. That is incorrect. On Uefa cup or Champions League from 1991 or 1979 for Red Star Belgrade all put flag of Yugoslavia and delete if i put flag of Serbia. All results from 1945 to 1992 are Yugoslavia and then from 1992 are 6 different countries. <span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by VucoKralj (talk • contribs ↗) 21:49, 10 March 2021 (UTC)</span>

30px|left|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war ↗; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page ↗ to work toward making a version that represents consensus ↗ among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle ↗ for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing ↗'''—especially if you violate the three-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts ↗ on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—'''even if you do not violate the three-revert rule'''—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. <span class="nowrap">---'''CX Zoom'''(<sup>he</sup>/<sub>him</sub>)</span> <span class="nowrap">(<sup>let's talk</sup>|<sub>contribs ↗</sub>)</span> 17:05, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

CoatbridgeChancellor (talk) 20:44, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

:LOL - yes, it's got all the hallmarks of 'the Cheese'! The style of prose, the fans-eye view, certain words like 'streak' - even the 'need' to summarise every ball kicked by ICT - it's all there!
:But, it's such poorly written piece anyway - it simply has to go! But he'll be back!

your act

You have to explain exactly why and according to what law you deleted my edit? Let your reason be clear. Also, your tone is not appropriate. Sabotage means destruction and wrong information. While this was clearly not the case. It is absolutely correct that I added the numbers of the tournaments so that the reader can see them. Unfounded accusation is an example of impoliteness. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by MHcc20 (talk • contribs ↗) 09:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC)</small>

Nine dart finishes

Please stop your disruptive reverting. I'm not being inaccurate at all. The Belgian Darts Open is always broadcast live in full, including those two finishes, on Belgium's major VTM2 ↗ television channel. You are the one who's wrong here. The UK isn't the only country in the world. See my comments on the article's talk page as well!! T v ↗x ↗1 16:04, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

July 2024

25px|alt=|link= ↗ Please stop your disruptive editing ↗.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute ↗ with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page ↗, and seek consensus ↗ with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution ↗ page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards ↗.

If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at :Nine dart finish ↗, you may be blocked from editing ↗. ''Stop your incorrect reverts. Please join the discussion on the talk page, where I provided clear evidence that these nine dart finishes were televised.'' T v ↗x ↗1 12:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Slow edit war on croissant ↗

Consider this to be the same as the warning above. You should discuss the France/Austria question on the talk page rather than occasionally changing it back with no edit summary, or with a summary that doesn't acknowledge the past discussion and apparent consensus.

Republic of Ireland football stats

Hello there, I noticed that you reversed an edit that I made regarding the 1948 Summer Olympics football tournament. It is stated on the EU Football.com website that the team that took part in the tournament was made up of a selected league 11 and not the national team.I presume this is not well known. This website is great for all international teams and results. ~2025-32673-79 ↗ (talk) 13:53, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not going to converse with temporary accounts.
Your edits will be reverted. Woodlandscaley (talk) 14:04, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

May I ask why please ? I like to compile data and stats especially for international football and matches, and EU Football is probably the best site available.

You "like to compile data"?!
This is ''literally'' your first day on Wikipedia!

I said "I like to compile data and stats for international matches and football". I use my own site and edit matches and results during internationals

30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history at :Stephen Hendry ↗ shows that you are currently engaged in an '''edit war ↗'''. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page's content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please ''stop editing the page'' and use the '''talk page ↗''' to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus ↗ among the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining how this is accomplished ↗. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗ such as a third opinion ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request page protection ↗ while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

'''If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing ↗ Wikipedia'''—especially if you violate the three-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor ''must not perform more than three reverts ↗ on a single page within a 24-hour period''.

I'd be fine with replacing the block by a one-year topic ban ↗ narrowly prohibiting only the direct editing of the article "Croissant ↗" and nothing else, as a binding unblock condition ↗. The difference would be that your account isn't marked as "blocked" above the contribution list and in some user scripts ("strikethrough blocked users' names") during the ban. If you are interested in this modification, please let me know on my talk page or by writing "<code><nowiki>{{ping|ToBeFree}} ~~~~</nowiki></code>" in a message requesting the switch to a blockless ban here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:09, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
:For the avoidance of doubt, violations of the ban would result in a limited-duration block from editing any page (sitewide 24-hour block minimum, possibly re-instatement of the partial block) and could be freely reverted by any user as described at {{slink|Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Edits_by_and_on_behalf_of_banned_and_blocked_editors}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:19, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
