Footballer infobox stats
Hello. When you update a player's stats, please would you at the same time update the correct-as-of timestamp – the club-update parameter – to a date or date/time at which the stats are unambiguously correct. The easy way is to replace the contents of the parameter with five tilde characters, so, and the system will automatically convert that to the current date and time. If you don't, it misleads both the reader and the next editor to come along to update the thing. Like you left Roger Johnson's infobox saying he had 5 Charlton appearances correct as of 17 January 2016, which isn't exactly accurate... thanks, Struway2 (talk) 09:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Stephy Mavididi. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. GiantSnowman 08:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

 * GiantSnowman, I just reverted one of this IP's edits again. I'm inclined to simply hit the block button and mass rollback--I don't see sources or edit summaries anywhere, and I have no idea if any of this info is valid, but I will leave that to you. Drmies (talk) 12:50, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

GiantSnowman I'm unsure how this is unconstructive? The edit you are refering to was to signify the fact that Jermain Defoe has been recalled to the England national football team squad. I was simply adding lines to show that he had not played for England since 2013. Also the edits made for Stephy Mavididi were valid as they were relating to the most recent news relating to the termination of his loan from Arsenal.


 * That one edit is less interesting (to me) than the fact that you have over a thousand edits from this IP address without a single edit summary--sorry, one: you have given us one single edit summary, on 15 August 2016. From what you say here I gather you don't understand that information in an encyclopedia has to be verified by reference to reliable sources. When you put these two together, to the observer who doesn't know the intricacies of this are that player, what distinguishes your edits from trolling, vandalism, or willful insertion of incorrect content? GiantSnowman, is it so hard to grasp that what one does should be a. explained and b. verified? Drmies (talk) 16:21, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
 * given this IP's long history of unsourced and unexplained edits about BLPs, despite numerous warnings, I say we block and mass rollback. GiantSnowman 07:55, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Career stats
Hello. Just a reminder that when you're updating the career stats table, if the line at the top says as of match played followed by a date, then that's what it wants you to put: the date of the last match included in the stats. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Where it says "As of match played" above a career stats table...
... that's what it wants you to put: the date of the last match played by the player (or their team) for which stats are included in the table.

It doesn't want today's date unless you're updating after and including stats for a match played today.

Please stop ignoring this: the as-of date is part of the table, and updating the figures without correctly updating the as-of date makes the whole thing wrong.

It's particularly wrong if the player will be playing a match later today but hasn't yet.

Thank you for listening. Struway2 (talk) 12:10, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Roger Johnson stats
Hello and thank you for trying to keep Mr Johnson's stats correct and up-to-date. The problem is, both Soccerbase and Soccerway are missing his appearance in one National League match (different ones). Soccerbase don't have his app in the match at Tranmere Rovers on 17 February, Soccerway doesn't have his app in the match at Aldershot on 20 February. Mr Johnson played in both of those fixtures, as confirmed at Bromley F.C.'s website, here for Tranmere and here for Aldershot. So unless the stats sites correct themselves, he should have one more app for Bromley than either of them say. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:37, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Career stats tables
Hi, for guidance on how career stats tables are formatted, see WP:FOOTY/Players. Note that divisions should be in separate cells. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:54, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
