Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Soccer in Australia, you may be blocked from editing. bonadea contributions talk 09:11, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Association football
When you link it, please link to the "association rules football" page. i.e association football. Football lists all types of games using any sort of football. If you only want "football" to show, use a wp:pipe add football which is compiled to football. (leave out the nowiki stuff which is used to show the code). Typically, an article should be linked only once unless exceptions apply. See wp:linking (I think). Also, "football" should not be capitalized unless it is used at the start of a sentence or in the name of a club or such. i.e. a proper noun. BTW: if it refers to association rules football in the USA, it need to be "soccer". See wp:engvar. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:00, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Callum Parsons


The article Callum Parsons has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. red dogsix (talk) 01:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Football vs Soccer
Today I reverted a number of your edits where you had changed "soccer" to "football" for Australian clubs. Wikipedia has a clear policy on this - Naming conventions (Football in Australia). In simple terms, it says the round ball game will be called "soccer" in articles about the sport in Australia. This policy was created after some very intensive discussions. It is unlikely to change any time soon. Please do not make those sorts of edits again. HiLo48 (talk) 05:34, 2 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Well they should change it since soccer isn’t an official name of the sport. It is a nickname people use to not get it confused with other sport but if we have it set to association football no one will get confused


 * I recommend you have a look at WP:INDENT and WP:SIGN so that your contributions here will be more readable and look more professional. HiLo48 (talk) 04:05, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

More professional?? Do you know how unprofessional it is to call the sport soccer? Which is why all of the A league clubs are called football clubs because it’s professional and if they called them self a soccer club it would look very unprofessional to people here and overseas


 * I don't know if you've looked at them, but you certainly aren't following the advice at WP:INDENT and WP:SIGN. (I didn't write them, BTW.) When you ignore them, your contributions stand out as those of a novice here, and thus hold little credibility. And if you want to see responses to your arguments, go to Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Football in Australia). Please note that it's the eighth page of that saga. Earlier pages are archived and accessible via links on the right hand side. HiLo48 (talk) 23:08, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

HiLo is correct about indenting contributions on talk pages. Wikipedia has its own little ways of doing things, and it helps everyone to follow the conventions.

Be aware that this topic seems to be closely guarded by a few old-timers who have no interest in football at all, preferring other codes. "Soccer" is an obsolete term and embarrassing to see used in a supposedly objective reference like Wikipedia. Any attempt to move relevant articles forward is met by cries of pain from those who see any attempt to remove "soccer" as akin to emasculation. --Pete (talk) 16:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
