Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2020–21 Tercera División. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Please stop disrupting Spanish football-related articles, and take a short time to read WP:FOOTY/Spain before editing. Thank you, BRDude70  ( talk ) 00:17, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

BRdude, my goal it's not to vandalise the articles, my goal it's to modify the format of the pages and to update and present them in a better way. -When i put the quotations next to the division, it serves to indicate the league in which the team is currently playing. -I removed the abreviations because i consider them to be unnecessary to insert. On the season table i only abbreviate to remark whether a team has promoted or not. If you want to get the detailed info then it's on the infobox, or should be in a detailed table. -The 2020-21 Tercera División edit i made it to signal the transition between the last tercera season and the new Tercera RFEF season. -The CD Constància redirect, which you now restored, i deleted it because i made i mistake. I'm aware of the spanish name of the club, but if you take a closer look the name has the letter à, which is not used in spanish. The name of the redirect is a mismatch of languages. I might be wrong in the way in which i edit articles, but i only want to improve things. I still have a lot more to learn to do better. I joined wikipedia years ago because i browsed football teams and saw that the pages were not being updated, so i wanted to fix them. I don't want to disturb things, i do this every once in a while on my spare time, but i'm aware i'm not as talented as you are. I just wanted to say that everything i do i do it on good faith. My defect is that i barely take part in discussions, and sometimes i edit articles which i'm not convinced i should do. I'll look the WP and try to apply it. Just to finish, it would have been easier for me just to not say anything, walk away and not edit anymore. But I wanted to talk to you, explain and at least try to be on good terms. I'm not sure if i'll keep editing as i should concentrate on studying more often, but i still have a couple article name changes i would like to discuss some day. Cheers.

"Turkey" vs. "Türkiye"
Hi! I saw you used the name "Türkiye" as the name of the country generally known in English as "Turkey" in your recent edit.

Q: Why don't you use the name Türkiye, the correct name for this country?

A: Because the English-language Wikipedia has a WP:COMMONNAME policy. We use names for countries and places that are the names commonly used for them in English, regardless of what official organizations use. Technically, this kind of name is known as an exonym. For example, we use the name Germany, instead of the native endonym Deutschland, and we use the name Japan instead of the native name 日本.

(Notice that this does not apply when we are quoting a literal name in Turkish; for example, the newspaper is called Türkiye, not Turkey. To do that would be hypercorrection, and we don't do that. Nor do we mangle the name into English in direct quotations in the Turkish language, nor in URLs. But it does apply for all uses in the English language; so the capital is Ankara, Turkey, not "Ankara, Türkiye")

If or when that general English-language usage changes (as has happened in the past with place names such as Mumbai and Beijing), the same WP:COMMONNAME policy implies that the English-language Wikipedia will necessarily also follow suit. So far, that hasn't happened.

This has been discussed many times, with the same result every time because of the common name policy. If you'd like to discuss this further, please take it up at Talk:Turkey. However, for the reasons given above, there is currently a moratorium on further requests for name changes to the Turkey article until 1 December 2023. &mdash; The Anome (talk) 14:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
