Hello, I'm Nzd. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, West Ham United F.C., but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nzd  (talk)  16:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You've been repeatedly warned on this issue, Dalek. Do you understand how to reference? Boleyn (talk) 19:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you please respond? WP:Communication is required. Boleyn (talk) 19:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate if you could stop harassing me Boleyn. I am not a professional Wikipedia editor and only check back here from time-to-time, and every time that I do I see another hostile message from you.
 * Regarding the recent tennis pages, since I only created the pages when the players fulfilled the notability criteria, I was therefore hoping to add references as time went on and more information became available (because frankly, for obscure tennis players who've only just become 'notable' there very often isn't very much to reference back to). Regarding the West Ham thing, I incorrectly assumed that the squad numbers used in pre-season games meant that the information was confirmed and would shortly appear on the already-referenced club website, but as it happens, some numbers were changed by the time the season started.
 * Sorry that I made an honest mistake. But I only edit in passing most of the time to try and correct bad grammar or update outdated information such as WTA ranking which is still dated last year/etc. I suffer from significant levels of anxiety and being hounded on this has certainly put me off doing more significant stuff like creating pages. I do try to reference when I am adding significant new info to pages, but evidently not often enough. --Dalek194 (talk) 10:11, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * To be fair, Dalek194 did respond to me about the West Ham edit. I haven't checked, but I am assuming that you are using the sites you add as external links as sources for your basic articles? Could I suggest that, rather than doing that, you just add those as explicit references (see WP:INLINECITE). They can always be moved down when more substantial references are added. Thanks, Nzd   (talk)  10:25, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Mésaque Djú
You partially reverted my edits with the following explanation: "West Ham U23s are not a separate club in their own right; they are part of 'West Ham Proper' so to speak".

Mésaque Djú's lead after my edits: "plays for English side West Ham United under-23s in the Professional Development League." As you see, I wrote "side", as in "team", not "club". The source is very specific and states that he will play for the under-23 team. I don't see the problem in writing that he plays for U23. SLBedit (talk) 19:30, 30 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi there SLB. I am following standard protocol on the pages of other young players who primarily play in the U23 sides of their respective clubs, but are still contracted professionals and therefore listed as playing for the senior club, even if they are primarily involved with the U23 side.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Micah Richards, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:05, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Transfermarkt is one of the only records (Twitter line-ups being another, but that seemed even less likely to be accepted by Wikipedia) that shows the exact position in which players lined-up in matches from previous seasons; I know for a matter of fact that Richards played at CB on significant occasions during his career. A player's position is something that is the majority of the time listed on a player's Wikipedia page without a source; the only reason I added one this time was as a courtesy to prove/back-up my point about adding centre-back to right-back.

Disambiguation link notification for November 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Emma Kennedy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liberal Democrats ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Emma_Kennedy check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Emma_Kennedy?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Sadou Diallo article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 19:10, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Players will not actually be released until their contracts end on 30 June 2021
Please do not remove them from squad listings/change their articles until that date. GiantSnowman 19:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
