Football in Australia
Hi Eden64, just to let you know that after much discussion it was decided some time ago that association football-related would be referred to universally as soccer in articles relating to Australia. Fenix down (talk) 23:35, 21 March 2017 (UTC)


 * That's very confusing. If you'd like to tell me who discussed and decided this I'll take it to a few forums and get football fans to discuss. The overwhelming feeling is that "soccer" is used as a derogatory way by non football fans. So rather than have none football fans decide what our code is called let's leave it to football fans. If fans of other codes are confused in any way I'd be amazed


 * I wouldn't say it was confusing, everyone knows what soccer is and there can be no confusion which sport is being referred to unlike "football". That doesn't mean it is the best way, but trust me, this created a major fuss some time ago to the point that there is a specific guideline now to deal with this. In addition to myriad discussions at [WP:FOOTY, there have also been several RfCs, such as this and this which sought input from the wider community. To be honest, this is simply not a fight worth continuing, as the guideline is in place, basically works and covers multiple sports, any attempt to fight it through editing will results in a block from someone and any attempt to start a fresh discussion (as happens from time to time) is unlikely to gain much traction as people are basically fed up with talking about it and prefer this less than perfect state to the anarchy that existed before.

 * Thank you for the explanations above, as I was feeling guilty for making so many reverts to Eden64's recent set of similar edits. The history of how Wikipedia got to where it is now is important. Matilda Maniac (talk) 13:34, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Tobias Mikkelsen, 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.

Brisbane Roar FC‎
I've raised the issue at the project page. I'm not going to edit war, but would implore you to actually read WP:RS (and also WP:BRD). Nzd  (talk)  00:58, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit
The first place for that discussion should have been with me. You went to “edit war” which wasn’t helpful. What is it about that piece that you don’t like? And is there an alternative you can suggest? Eden64 (talk) 01:05, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Blogs and other self-published sources have no editorial oversight so aren't acceptable as sources on Wikipedia per WP:RS. has replaced the sources, but I've removed the line validating much of the criticism on the latter stages of his tenure, which is clear POV/OR. I've raised the issue of OR in the conversation linked above and you are welcome to participate.  Nzd   (talk)  01:46, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Revisions
That’s fine. Had you have expressed these concerns directly instead of deleting without comment I could have used the ‘ultimate A League’ references instead of the one provided.

On noticing the repeated deletion I did revise the comments looking for infected POV, and for the record I don’t have an opinion on this - my interest is in the history of the game and in clubs like Roar (part of the problem is finding independent and credible sources for this type of work).

So thank you for your engagement. I wish the experience could have been more collaborative and less confrontational that’s all. Eden64 (talk) 02:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I apologise if it came across that way. It wasn't intentional. My edit summaries always pointed to the related policies, but you are right, conversation is always best. Happy editing BTW, you don't need to create a new topic every time you reply, see WP:THREAD.  Nzd   (talk)  02:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

All good. Thanks for your help and prompts as well - they were useful.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Eden64, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Brisbane Roar FC have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:31, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
