Mark Redshaw
Any reason why you blindly undid my edit, when we are both trying to clear this article of the vandalism? GiantSnowman 20:42, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * in order to revert 17:17, 3 October 2011 212.187.67.140 I had to revert your 17:37, 3 October 2011 GiantSnowman first. The edits by Fbagent1 make sense by the way. But a few things need proper sources. Agora (talk) 20:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the edits are unreferenced, and so have no place on Wikipedia. Other information included (i.e. the Wrexham stats) is just plain wrong. GiantSnowman 20:46, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Please see Talk:Mark Redshaw. GiantSnowman 20:55, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Dutch football BLPs
You HAVE to add a reliable source whenever adding information about a living person, in order to verify the claims. This is basic, core stuff. Please start including sources. Regards, GiantSnowman 10:16, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Wilfried Bony
I want just to let you know that these stats for Issia Wazi that you're so desperately including were falsed by User:Zombie433 and then copied on Wilfried's website. When he created this article he put 22 (6) and after few minutes he changed to 16 (6), this is his common behavior, adding random false stats. I wonder why you don't want to include also another rubbish from User:Zombie433 copied on Wilfried's website -that Wilfried was a topscorer of Côte d'Ivoire Premier Division in 2007?--Oleola (talk) 02:19, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Oleola, I'm not familiar with the behavior of User:Zombie433 but I see he has been blocked. I do wonder how he should be able to change information on Bony's website which apparently is the only source for his time in Côte d'Ivoire. I haven't seen this website to be a total fraud. The topscorer claim for the league is incorrect, that was easy to find in the league stats, but it wasn't written that clear on that site. You can also read it that he was clubtopscorer for Issia Wazi. I haven't find other information on (the archive of) that website that might be incorrect so far.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Chima Onyeike. Thank you. GiantSnowman 15:35, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ah, not a direct revert. That's an improvement. Agora (talk) 15:45, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll directly revert if I can't find a source - one was easy enough to locate on this article, though. Any reason why you didn't add one, despite numerous previous requests from myself to use sources on BLPs? GiantSnowman 15:47, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't? Take a better look at my edits. Almost all, if not an minor edit or statistic, are proper sourced. In this case I was not finished yet. Agora (talk) 15:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't - unreferenced, unreferenced, unreferenced - plus all the earlier examples. Oh look, a completely unreferenced article that remains unreferenced after more than a month. How long do you need to "finish" your edits? If you had a source to make the edit, why not include it in said edit? GiantSnowman 15:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Congratulations you've found a few. Two minor edits, even statistics, and indeed one article that should've said that it was completely based on the Dutch interwiki (Is there such a template?) which has an external link for the statistics. Agora (talk) 16:15, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, there's "a few" - but there should be none. Regarding the Beloften Eredivisie page, you only added an external link after I marked it as unreferenced. If it's been translated, you can use Translated page. GiantSnowman 16:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. When you recently edited Johannes Christoffel van Mastenbroek, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Remko Bicentini, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. GiantSnowman 10:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Excuse me? We had a discussion before and I'm done with your behavior here. Any new edits from you on this page will be deleted without any notice. Agora (talk) 11:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You have a long history of adding unreferenced information to articles (especially those about living people) - you have been here too long to be ignorant of WP:RS, WP:V and WP:BLP. Delete my comments if you wish; but as stated above, I will block you if you continue. GiantSnowman 12:27, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * If you had looked at any of my other addition from this morning you could see that they're all proper sourced and that there was absolutely no pattern. Therefore you waving with last warnings and blocks is way overdone and also a violation of Assume good faith. Agora (talk) 13:09, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Some edits being sourced is not enough; all should be and you have had more than enough warnings about this in the past. It is hard to AGF when you present a very combative attitude. GiantSnowman 13:19, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well it's hard for me to see AGF in your actions when you only use this kind of warnings and the revert button. 'Almost all' instead of 'almost none' is already a major improvement. And besides, have any of my (not yet sourced) edits ever proven to be hoaxed, vandalism or any other unwanted contribution? Just a reminder for this one was more than enough for now with the same result. I considered the 'warning' above way overdone in a non constructive way. Agora (talk) 13:39, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Unreferenced information in any/all articles - especoally those concerning living people - is rightly a major concern of many editors here, myself included. I find it much safer to remove the unreferenced rather than leave it in the mere hope it's correct because Person X has added it and they have added fine stuff in the past. GiantSnowman 13:57, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course, and I absolutely agree. But still something to consider in the way to respond. These kind a 'major' warnings are not helping and are only negative while a lot of progress is made. Agora (talk) 09:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Eigenlijk heb je wel gelijk. Die 2 artikelen mogen wel worden verwijderd. Alleen weet ik niet hoe ik dat voor elkaar moet krijgen. / You're actually right. These 2 articles can be removed. However, I don't know how to make that happen. Ruurd Woltring (talk) 08:05, 29 January 2013 (CET)

Fred Pagnam
Hi Agora, I noticed you edited Fred Pagnams Wikipedia page and said he had a Dutch wife. He was my Grandad and his wife was english. I just wondered where u got your information from as we know he was involved with the Dutch resistance in the war and I wonder if this has something to do with it? Regards Rob Dixon. Rob@joineryworkshop.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.164.119.188 (talk) 23:27, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Rob, that was an edit in 2011 so I had to look into it. At least I found it mentioned here . If incorrect please let me know.
 * I found a few further things as well. In 1933 he was appointed co-trainer at HVV Den Haag besides Fred Warburton. He was trainer of WFC Rapiditas (now FC Weesp) in het 1934/35 season. His spell with De Volewijckers was once a week, normal at the time. He is also mentioned as trainer at HFC Haarlem in 1938 and in October 1939.  Most likely Haarlem was his final club in the Netherlands before WW2 and CVV Vriendenschaar a once a week job.  He was about to train PSV Eindhoven in 1935 but extended his contract at DWV instead.,  In 1935 he had a booklet published with radio commenter Han Hollander by the name Voetballen (Uitgeversmaatschappij Kosmos, Amsterdam)  Regards, Agora (talk) 09:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello Rob, I think Pagnam married Frederika Kousemaker in 1940 (in England). Cattivi (talk) 20:57, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Job Komol


The article Job Komol has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Annick Lipman ‎
Hey. I think the article must be tweaked as she was in the pre-squad but was never registred to enter into a game, see the team roster and the team total statistics. So, she should not be presented as winning the medal. That's how it is done on wikipedia for the handball ec/wc tournaments. Kante4 (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, it seems there is a discrepancy here. IHF includes in these links only players who actually played in a game. The national association named her in the final squad (not pre-squad) for the tournament. She also was presented a gold medal as part of the winning team. Clear picture  (goalkeeper above with medal nr 41).  Agora (talk) 22:40, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... we always went after the official pdf files to determine the squad lists. Now she was never eligible to enter into a game, so i still say she should not be listed but see editors doing the opposite and showing evidence that she has a medal, so it's ok.
