Real Madrid
I don't see why my match report against Espanyol was reverted...thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.194.63.29 (talk • contribs)
 * Apologies for this late reply. I removed the match report from the Real Madrid article because it looked unbalanced and recentist to me. Elaborate match details are more suitable for Wikinews, methinks. Cheers. BestEditorEver 09:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Hoi
Hee, ik laat je een berichtje achter om te zeggen dat je goed bezig bent :) Keep it up! JACO  PLANE  &bull; 2007-06-1 00:26
 * Dank voor de aardige woorden! Erg attent.


 * Ik ben het trouwens volledig met je eens ;) BestEditorEver 11:20, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

George Boateng
I checked, it is well in Royal Excelsior Mouscron and not in Excelsior Rotterdam that George BOATENG played.

 * There are conflicting sources as to with which Excelsior he played. I assumed it was Rotterdam's because of Feyenoord, but maybe not. Sorry if my edit was incorrect. BestEditorEver 12:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Me as, I thought as it was Excelsior Rotterdam considering which it then played Feneyoord, but the large majority of the biographies of George Boateng that I consulted put Excelsior with a Belgian flag, which wants to say that it is Royal Excelsior Mouscron.

 * But this reliable site has him at Excelsior Rotterdam. Not that I care either way mind you. BestEditorEver 19:56, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

UEFA Cup
Please stop revert-warring with User:Fadiga09 and discuss the matter on Talk:UEFA Cup instead. Oldelpaso 17:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. My argument with the other editor revolves around if the Inter Cities Fairs Cup results belong on Uefa related articles. I have tried to discuss the subject and posted my references several times on talk pages (see and ). But I find it hopeless to engage into a discussion with someone who lacks a basic grasp of WP: Civil. I requested for someone to arbitrate the impasse on WikiProject Football a while ago, but none of the admins made an attempt. If you're familiar with the subject, could you read the above linked discussions and give an outsider's opinion. That may help resolve this deadlock. -- BestEditorEver 18:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for those links (though I'm a little dismayed that the scale of the dispute is larger than I initially thought). I have no strong opinion either way; ending the back-and-forth is my priority. In terms of UEFA Cup I'd probably favour including both in the same article whether they are viewed as a true continuation or not, as I have a slight mergist tendency. For the records it is largely semantics, statistical sources vary in their approach. UEFA aren't always consistent either from what I can tell. Oldelpaso 19:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It's clear form the references that the Fairs and Uefa Cup are two different tournaments, with a different set-up, different organizer and a different history. If Uefa does not consider the Fairs Cup results a part of clubs' records (as stated here unambiguously (not merely semantics I would say), then why should an encyclopedic article describing Uefa records include not recognized results? -- BestEditorEver 19:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As the revert-warring has continued, I have protected the four articles in which this dispute is taking place. Please put further discussion on one of the article talk pages. Oldelpaso 18:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * (About your last post) I wish to act purely as a mediator here - as I've now used admin tools it would be improper for me advocate a particular position. Oldelpaso 18:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * You protected the unreferenced version of the article you endorsed in your first comment, so don't be claiming you're not advocating a particular position here.


 * We already have discussed the subject on two talk pages (see and ). Richard Rundle avoids posting any sources and rarely participates in discussions and Fadiga03 thinks computer games are suitable references. So, what is the point to continue "discussing" with these editors.


 * To back my point even further: I'm including the third paragraph in this uefa.com article in addition to the references cited in my first comment. Uefa recognizes three clubs to have won all three Uefa tournaments. This trio does not include Barcelona despite winning the Champions League, Cup Winners Cup and the Fairs Cup.


 * These references are evident that Uefa does not count the Fairs Cup results as Uefa competition. Including them as if they were, like Richard Rundle and Fadiga03 have been doing, is POV pushing and original research.


 * And finally, the articles should be protected at its referencend versions, not the unsourced versions you happen to advocate. -- BestEditorEver 08:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See The Wrong Version. Protection is not an endorsement. However, if you think the protection is improper, you can get another admin to review it by going to WP:RFPP. Oldelpaso 17:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits made to various pages with links considered unsuitable
Just want to express my apologies for the unsuitable links. I did read the regulations about links, but felt that what I was linking to was relevant enough to the subject matter, however as you have pointed out they are not and removed these links, I'll not carry on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkhallsredfloors (talk • contribs) 12:35, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Robinho
Thanks for helping on Robinho today. I am on WP:3RR risk there. A suspected sockpuppeteer User:AnonymousDude1993 and sockpuppets User:Futbolfan and User:IamRobinho are making the same DOB change adding the same comments that "he heard on TV that Robinho is 19 yrs old". Sockpupeteer has been reported to: Suspected sock puppets/AnonymousDude1993. Please keep an eye on this one. Thanks! Alexf (Talk/Contribs) 16:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, and I will. Thanks for the message. -- BestEditorEver 10:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
