Stats in football players' infoboxes
Hi, when you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the pcupdate (or club-update) parameter. This shows when the stats were last updated and prevents editors from accidentally updating the stats again. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 18:36, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your reminder. You just have given me a very important advice. DerDFB (talk) 16:00, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks + invitation
You're welcome. I am mainly focused on promoting women's football worldwide, especially in Germany, and making it relevant because women deserve to have equal status as men. DerDFB (talk) 16:02, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dayot Upamecano, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Red Bull Salzburg ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Dayot_Upamecano check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Dayot_Upamecano?client=notify 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.

Women in Red World Contest
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

WP:KARLSRUHER
I'm aware of WP:KARLSRUHER, but I'm also aware of being able to write natural English, and writing "VfB Stuttgart" every time you refer to the club is not natural. There may be other Stuttgart clubs, but VfB is the main one and they're often referred to just as "Stuttgart" by the English language media. – PeeJay 16:01, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Just look at the names of German clubs on other players' infoboxes. Almost none of the VfLs, VfBs, SCs, FSVs, etc. are piped. And also look at how the German clubs are correctly/incorrectly named on the three infoboxes mentioned in WP:KARLSRUHER. DerDFB (talk) 16:38, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but just because something is done a certain way on other pages doesn't make it right. You don't need to call them VfB Stuttgart every single time. – PeeJay 16:56, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry this has resulted in us both getting reported for edit warring, but if you're going to make reverts blindly citing an essay (not even official Wikipedia policy), you're bound to get some backlash to your edits. You have to be willing to have some discussion to get along here, not just ride roughshod over other people to get your way. – PeeJay 08:52, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks to User:Jellyman, who has pointed out that WP:KARLSRUHER even says "Obviously in article prose, a shortened name can be used, once the proper name has been established, to make the text flow more easily". The proper name is already established at the top of the page, so there's no need to keep harping on calling them "VfB Stuttgart". – PeeJay 13:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't mean to offend or hurt you (because I want to comply with WP:CIVIL), but whatever you say does not change the fact that the VfBs should not be piped (especially in the infoboxes of various footballers). Just look at Khedira's and Kimmich's articles (example) for further proof. DerDFB (talk) 13:59, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * So first you cited WP:KARLSRUHER to support your case, and now I've pointed out that it actually supports my case, you're saying I should ignore it? Please make up your mind. If Khedira and Kimmich's articles don't pipe when they should, then I can change those too. – PeeJay 14:51, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Updating the career statistics section as well as the infobox
Hi DerDFB, I hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for updating the Schalka player's statistics in the infobox section of their respective articles. However if you could please also update the corresponding "career statistics" section which can be found in the lower section of most of these articles, that would be appreciated also, as it can help avoid the awkward situation of the infobox and career statistic box having a different number of match statistics. Thank you and happy editing! Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 17:52, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for informing me about that. But unfornately the reason why I have preferred to update various players' stats on the infobox only is because I am mainly editing Wikipedia articles using my mobile phone and also updating the career stats of various players can be tiring for me.

Reviewing proposed edits to Financial Accounting Standards Board
Hey DerDFB, I saw you're a member of WP:FINANCE and I was wondering if you had some time to review a new draft I'm proposing for the FASB. It's a long article, and I know it's a lot to look over, but I'm hoping to get as much feedback on it as possible given its large scope. It's mostly focused on reorganizing the article and clearly outlining both the history of the organization alongside the accounting standards that it's proposed in the past. If you could take a look at it, even just a small part, I'd really appreciate it.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 18:12, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Alexander Meier
Did you see the game? Meier was the first to lift the trophy as Eintracht's captain. Check this.--Rebelheartous (talk) 10:17, 20 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Still it does not change the fact that he played no part in Eintracht's cup win because he wasn't in the squad list for their DFB Pokal match against Bayern. DerDFB (talk) 10:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Lucas Vázquez wasn't included in Real Madrid's squad for the final w/ Juventus, either. Does that mean he did not win the CL?--Rebelheartous (talk) 11:02, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited SG Sonnenhof Großaspach, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mike Owusu ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/SG_Sonnenhof_Gro%C3%9Faspach check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/SG_Sonnenhof_Gro%C3%9Faspach?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.)

User 86.147.92.144
Hey, I saw that user 86.147.92.144 gave you trouble on André Schürrle as well. I don't know how to report people for excessive reverting, but he/she has been at this for well over an hour now. He/she continues to revert correct information. Do you know how to put a stop this annoyance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anwegmann (talk • contribs) 22:00, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Typos
Hello, thanks for your contributions to squad navigational templates. However, I've noticed quite a few typos/mistakes added recently. For example Hertha (Maier's link not piped), Nürnberg (link to disambiguation page), Hoffenheim (bad formatting), along with Jena (Tietz's name misspelled), Darmstadt (Sattelmaier's name misspelled), Aalen (Fennell's name misspelled), and Würzburg (Gnaase's name misspelled). Please be a bit more careful (maybe check the edits), there should be no redlinked players. Cheers! S.A. Julio (talk) 20:48, 21 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice. I have the tendency to type names far too quickly which causes some names to be misspelled but I will try my best to be careful when typing. Cheers, mate! DerDFB (talk) 21:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Are you sure about the short name of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim?
Hey DerDFB, I noticed on recent changes that you added a detail to Reiss Nelson, in which you changed the shortening of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim from Hoffenheim to 1899 Hoffenheim. There's nothing in the Manual of Style about shortened football club names, but I think unless there's another strong club with the almost the same name, or the club's name isn't the city's name, shortening it to only the name of the city is better. You seem to be a German football expert so I didn't change it. It's a small detail, but small details make articles much better. What do you think? Contraption5000 (talk) 15:01, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Just look at Firmino's, Süle's and Nagelsmann's articles for futher proof. Also, read the naming concepts of German football clubs (mainly in infoboxes) here. DerDFB (talk) 15:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I did not know that. I mostly edit on English football. Thanks for clarifying! Contraption5000 (talk) 15:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! DerDFB (talk) 15:18, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Jonas Hofmann
Hi DerDFB, regarding your edited, the bio of Jonas Hofmann was already outdated. I got source from this article and editing his bio. His wiki page is also using references from this page (you can see [22]). Please check it out. Cheers! User:Anhp7 (talk) 21:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC).

Update: Hey man I don't understand that. Why you try to revert the outdated info on Jonas Hofmann page(career statistic). I'm seriously updated by valid reference sources which was used by his wiki page. Have you watched him play before? His main role is central midfielder now, not winger. Regards


 * That's why I actually changed his playing position from winger to midifielder. And by the way, when updating stats, you should also update the date, on both the infoboxes (using five tlides), and above the career stats' box. DerDFB (talk) 18:13, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Martin Fraisl
Good evening, What is the problem with Fraisl? It was signed by Sandhausen, I put the references. Rhinen
 * You are right about one thing. He indeed was signed by SV Sandhausen as confirmed by the club's official website (you can see | here), however, his Sandhausen contract is set to begin on 1 July, the same day the summer transfer window in Germany officially opens, not now.

Leon Goretzka Picture
Hello, I noticed that you took down my new picture of Goretzka due to copyright issues? When I look at the file on Wikimedia (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:20190428_DFL_1._Bundesliga_FCN_-_FCB_850_0557.jpg) it says that the file is licensed freely. Let me know if I was missing something since I am a relatively new user. Thanks!

Tjdans7236 (talk) 19:32, 31 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Actually, you are free to replace the existing image of Goretzka with the one you are suggesting. I accidentally thought that the image was uploaded from a website and it has a questionable copyright claim. However, you need to crop out the unwanted items present in the picture to make it look better. Regards. DerDFB (talk) 23:08, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Use of MDY and Incomplete Stat Updates
I have noticed that every time you update the stats of Josh Sargent and John Brooks (soccer, born 1993), you update only the infobox stats and not the stat chart at the bottom. Likewise, you use DMY date format when both pages say "Use MDY dates" at the top. I appreciate your work updating stats, but updating stats incompletely and using the wrong date format simply makes life harder on those of us who have to go back each time and fill in the gaps you have left and correct the dates. Please, in the future, update the stats completely—meaning both the infobox at the top and the stat chart at the bottom—and use proper date format. Anwegmann (talk) 03:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it's acceptable to only update the infobox. But I agree that the date format should be kept. Robby.is.on (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Signing in articles
Hi DerDFB - just a friendly note, not the standard warning template - you have been signing your name in multiple articles: Florian Flick, Reinhold Ranftl, Thomas Ouwejan, Dominick Drexler, Victor Pálsson and Ko Itakura - Just a reminder - it is five tildes for a datestamp - and if you had been checking your edits, as you should do, you would have noticed this - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 09:43, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey there,

Why did you revert my changes to Simon Terodde‘s page? He became the sole record holder last Saturday night against Werder Bremen. Kvendetta (talk) 15:05, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It is because you only updated his goals stat when you should also be updating his tally of league appearances, alongside the timestamp. Thanks for your message. DerDFB (talk) 00:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
