User talk:92.29.52.227

Hi there TONY, VASCO from Portugal here,

I have written you a message to your last IP address, please check edit history on Rabiu Ibrahim and click on your last IP talk. I have also added some explanation in User:Jay-Sebastos' page. Now, i will say this: i did not REVERT anything, i only rephrased it. Please don't call me a vandal like you did when you complained to Jay, i am not a vandal, i am trying to improve the quality of the article. One other user removed his national team stats in BOX, i reinserted them.

Now, two new things i did not say: regarding the start of INT.CAREER in Rabiu's article, i removed the beginning because: it is referred to in the remaining of the section, and the reference there is also in many other parts of article. I think it's best to start the section with "Ibrahim was a member of the Nigerian under-17s in the 2007 FIFA World...", then move from there. Per your advice, i have re-written the beginning of CLUB CAREER, leaving it as you put ("he generated interest"), sorry, did not even notice i was reverting that. I have also reinstated your edit when you say the month that Samson Siasia was appointed.

You have accused me of vandalism, but why did you remove stuff from his fullname? Both external links i provided contain the word "DANDA" in his name, if they are both wrong it's not my fault, i was mislead. You also incurred in OVERLINKING (meaning inserting one wikilink more than once), in late CLUB CAREER (in Telstar (football club), only once is enough), but that's OK, you say you are new to this, i will help you in any way i can.

Sorry for any incovenience, hopefully you can also do the same after you realize i am not a vandal, hopefully we can work well if the occasion comes - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 16:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Understood, will do it still today, although i think some of the stuff you ask of me is already in the article. Please, so i can do it well, what do you mean when you say "remove my name from the side notes"? Do not understand, sincerely. Best - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 16:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Those summaries are permanent, i cannot remove them. But i don't see the problem my man, since i am referring to you in a respectful manner there (also, you signed with that name in your messages to Jay, so i did not think it was a problem). Honestly, if it's what you want i would remove them, but i can't, maybe an administrator can. Regarding Ibrahim's full name, if you say it's a nickname then i will remove it. - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 17:10, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This is good guys. Working it out together like this is the best way forward. Once my friend comes round I'll take a look at the work you've done together so far, and see if I can make any tweaks to it etc. Things seem to be doing well. Jay-Sebastos 17:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Will reinstate some of the stuff you ask now (i still don't think the thing you ask in INT.CAREER is needed, and you can't always be right Tony, please respect my work as i respect yours). Also, you say i reverted some thing in the Sporting Clube de Portugal part of the article, when i removed nothing, and it was you who made a mistake, incurring in overlinking (again linking the club) and creating a REDIRECT (the article name is not Sporting Lisbon). Also, i corrected some REFS titles from "TELSTER" to the correct "TELSTAR", you reverted me...

Best - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, and in INT.CAREER, you also removed valid stuff i added (link to ERITREA national team, a link to an AFRICAN U-17 championship, etc). Maybe all this will not be "interesting" anymore, as we seem to be working well now... - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:21, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Another: the bit about him being sent on loan to Real Sport Clube is referenced (see REF#10), you removed it. A bit odd i was accused of actions you also committed but, anyway, let bygones be bygones, happy editing and happi(er) week :) - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Have corrected both things (national team stats and the sentence in SPORTING career, leaving "left Sporting as a free agent"), cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

You too take care, "whistle" if you have any doubts. Regards from Portugal - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 20:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I see your computer problems are solved, good :) However, keep in mind we don't want to overflow Rabiu's article with too much info related to other people (for instance, about Samson Siasia, i think it is enough as you left it now, any further developments should be inserted in Siasia's article, not Rabiu's). Happy week! - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Happy beginning
I would say nice happy ending to both of you, but since articles always need to be improved and updated, I'll say happy beginning instead! It's wonderful to see you collaborating instead of arguing, and as a result of this understanding, the article is certainly looking much better. I combed through it this evening and adjusted some of the grammar and style, leaving the content largely the same. Keep up the good work everyone! Jay Σεβαστός discuss  23:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jay I sent Vasco a message regarding Rabius page but I think he must have retired for the day but seeing that your still available I just wanted to ask your opinion on this:-

Is it wrong to include the following information as I did last time when I first contacted you and you initially corrected some grammar errors? If so can you explain to me the reasons why.

(1) According to GiveMeFootball.com, the official website of The Professional Footballers' Association, the 19-year-old was being monitored by some of the most noteworthy clubs Europe, including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.[12]

(2) an acquisition which managing director Pieter de Waard described as remarkable. It is understood that the player is now awaiting a valid work permit from the Dutch FBO.[17]

(3) Ibrahim Rabiu has so far appeared for the Nigeria U-17 and U-20 sides a total of 13 times, scoring six goals and creating many assists.[18]

I ask out of quriosity because I think this is good information for Rabius page but if im wrong I'd actually like to better enlighten myself.

Thanks for your corrections earlier.

Kind regards,

Sorry mate I meant curiosity :)92.29.52.227 (talk) 00:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

and BTW I only asked about number (3) because I will like to add the fact that Rabiu creates a lot of assists and reference it too as I believe it is significant info.92.29.52.227 (talk) 00:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Strangely Tony, the reference you added about the appointment of Siasia as Nigeria manager is already dead, so i replaced it with a similar one (please see here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/9161548.stm). Happy week, best - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:11, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Vas

Just saw that and I dont know why that is but many thanks BBC is always a good source anyway.

Perhaps you can shine some light on the following pls

 * Sorry, i did not understand that part about The Times well, i see that you have already taken care of that, good job! Regarding the bit in INT.CAREER Tony, please stop adding it, it's irrelevant in light of the rest of the information in the section (most of the goals he scored in the youth levels are described and the totals are in box), let's discuss this with JAY before any further additions, please - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay mate no probs. I had sent you a message and copied Jay as well to ask your opinion on info I felt the need to add but got no reply hence.... Chat later pal!


 * Please TONY, the Premier League interest is already in paragraph#1 of CLUB CAREER, don't repeat it mate... - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:15, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok I understand.


 * NEWS FLASH my friend! I have reinstated the bit about the assists, but with better phrasing and better display of reference (don't forget it's a doubled ref - IM Scouting). Tell me what you think, happy week - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Great job Vas

Im fine with the edits, Thanks!

Have a nice week and Take care mate
