Sponsored names
Hi, we don't use sponsored names for leagues/stadiums etc. GiantSnowman 12:26, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Apologies, I was unaware. Will edit them all now.

Transfermarkt
Since most of its content is user-generated, Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Please do not cite the website in articles, as you did with Jamie Lindsay (footballer) and Calum Waters. Thank you. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:54, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ryan Metcalf. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. GiantSnowman 17:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Response
Hi GiantSnowman, sorry for any confusion however there is a glaring inaccuracy with the page. It should read 'Ryan Metcalfe' rather than 'Ryan Metcalf', there is an 'E' at the end. I know him personally you see! Further sources below if you need them:

http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/player-availability--ryan-metcalfe/

http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=684

He is also currently playing for Benburb if you want to update it.

Cheers

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) 17:17, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2017–18 Dumbarton F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Sutton ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/2017%E2%80%9318_Dumbarton_F.C._season check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/2017%E2%80%9318_Dumbarton_F.C._season?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.

Punctuation placement
Hi Fraggle - having made some edits to articles you've been involved with, I just wanted to make a wee friendly suggestion. When you're adding a reference, could you please make sure that any punctuation is placed before the first reference tag? So for example, punctuation should be placed as:

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

And not:

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Not a big deal, just want to make sure that your edits are in keeping with the style of Wikipedia. Thanks :) Exxy (talk) 08:24, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No problem Exxy, wasn't sure if there was a house style for that sort of thing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fragglerock52 (talk • contribs) 12:41, May 17, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox formatting
Not sure why you are editing infoboxes against the layout established by Infobox football biography - but please stop. GiantSnowman 18:26, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Giant Snowman, I was a wee bit confused by that, because I wasn't aware I was. Had a look back through the code and realised that I think it's only started happening since I began using the visual editor (lazy guy that I am!). Guess it was caused by using the 'tab' key to jump between cells?

Edit: Just re-read your post. Is it an issue with the biography part, or the career statistics table? I spotted coding mistakes with the latter, but couldn't find what you were referring to about the former?

Cheers,

Fragglerock52 (talk) 19:21, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi - yeah, I think it's the visual editor affecting the infobox... GiantSnowman 19:50, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

No worries - I'll get my mind in gear and get back to doing things the proper way!

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Andrew Little (footballer). This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:11, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Football kit patterns
Hi,

Looking for some guidance. I have created Dumbarton FC season pages from 1873 onwards and am currently updating and enhancing the data on these pages.

Can you tell me where I can view football kit patterns to add to the pages. Note that the 1873 version was already added by another author and this remains unchanged until 1887 - so I need to find out how to change the patterns for future seasons.

Your advice would be appreciated. Aitkegs (talk)

Hi there Aitkegs I suspect that Historical Kits would probably be your best option as, currently, neither the club website, nor Sons Archive appear to have anything more complete. Cheers Fragglerock52 (talk) 14:55, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. However my query doesn't relate to the actual design of the kits (as you say Historical Kits has a full record) but the coding which produces the kit e.g. the code for the early 1880's kit is as follows:
 * leftarm1 =1d1f4d
 * body1   =1d1f4d
 * rightarm1=1d1f4d
 * shorts1 =ffffff
 * socks1  =ff0000


 * Is there an index which matches the code to the relevant kit that I can view? Aitkegs (talk)

Oh sorry Aitkegs, totally misunderstood you there! I'm afraid I'm unaware of any such thing, sorry I can't be more help Fragglerock52 (talk) 08:49, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kalvin Orsi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Striker.

2024–25 Dumbarton F.C. season moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2024–25 Dumbarton F.C. season, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
