White Hart Lane
The "Tenants" field used regardless of who owns/owned the stadium or venue. The documentation quite clearly states that "Insert the teams and any other parties who use the venue as their home stadium or arena.". In addition, Old Trafford and Emirates Stadium (not going to list other English stadiums) are not the only places that use it. Other examples could be Juventus Stadium, Westfalenstadion, Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Citi Field or even MetLife Stadium (two teams own 50% each) among many others. Was there any discussion or you just assumed that you could just do what you want on White Hart lane page? This looks like a WP:IDONTLIKEIT case to say the least. – Sabbatino (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Not at all, the field is for clubs that rent the ground from a council, or government or group that don't own the stadium or land to which it is on. This is technically very wrong to use the field when the club actually owns the land, that's not tenanted land. Dictionary.com, The legality is pretty clear in definition, you should be removing the field from all clubs which actually own the land and the stadium. Govvy (talk) 18:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Where does it say that "the field is for clubs that rent the ground from..."? If we go by definitions from the dictionary then most of the information in Wikipedia is wrong more or less. Blame the template's creators for taking that term and not the template itself. I asked you a question, but you did not answer it (either on purpose or accidentally). I will also not remove clubs from this field, because that field is for clubs per documentation, which is quite clear and does not say anything about owning of the venue. – Sabbatino (talk) 18:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Tenant of tenure, or temporary, Govvy (talk) 20:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The template is fairly clear that the field is to be used for clubs/teams using the stadium and that is generally how it is used on Wikipedia.
 * Further the football club may well technically be the tenant. Totthenham Hotspur Ltd is the parent company of a group of companies that include Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Co. Ltd and White Hart Lane Stadium Ltd. While I don't have a list of assets of the two subsidiary companies it's a reasonable assumption that the stadium belongs to the stadium company and that the company oprating the football club is not the owner of the stadium.  Jts1882 &#124; talk 07:32, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , you can't tenant your own land or building back to yourself, It doesn't matter if you hold it under another company or not, this would still be illegal. The whole field is wrongly used, a tenant is taking the land or building for temporary use from another owner. FYI, I work in commercial real estate lettings, Govvy (talk) 11:22, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Runners-up
Just because something is "allowed" doesn't mean it should necessarily be added. Why draw the line at leagues anyway? The guy still didn't win the League Cup, so why list it? – PeeJay 12:31, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * So what if it's his only medal at Spurs? It's a runner's-up medal! He didn't actually win anything. If you say that second place is an achievement, why stop there? Why not list third places? Or sixth? Or tenth? Where do you stop? And I'm sorry you found that offensive, but I'm not responsible for what offends you. Oh, and you can get out of here with that "political act" nonsense. Everything is politics, and if you can't handle that, perhaps the real world isn't for you. – PeeJay 12:43, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Er, you're over reading into what I said, I really don't know why you start going on 3rd 6th 0r 10th, We simply are talking about runner up medals in competitive finals, there is no consensus against them, so what policy are you implying to remove them? Govvy (talk) 13:03, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a simple policy called WP:COMMONSENSE. The section is for a player's honours, but finishing second in something simply isn't an honour. Sure, a player receives a token medal, but the club doesn't receive a trophy to put in their trophy cabinet. If you've got nothing else to brag about, I guess finishing second in something is kinda cool, but you still haven't won anything. – PeeJay 13:08, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You're really adding Common sense to the argument? Do you ever watch tennis? Have you noticed they give a shield out to runners up in some competitions? What's the point of giving a player a runner up medal then? It's to recongise their acheivments of course, I see you simply what to deny this. Govvy (talk) 13:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * We're not talking about tennis, we're talking about football. You can't simply judge this on what medals a player has earned; show me a reliable source that lists Bale's honours including the 2009 League Cup and we'll talk. – PeeJay 13:26, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Real Mardrid Consider it an honour to list it down. :/ Govvy (talk) 13:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * All I can see from that page is that Real Madrid look like they're confused. That page looks like a list of competitions he's won, so why they're listing the League Cup is a mystery. Your evidence is inconclusive. – PeeJay 14:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Flags
Hello, and thanks for your note. I was a little uncomfortable with that one, because although the MoS says we should prefer using words to flags, it looked silly with the country name repeated in the nationality column for his international management rows. The MoS says that flags are acceptable when the subject is actually representing that country, although not just to show what country his clubs are in. So if you want to restore the flags for his national team managerial spells, I'd have no problem with that. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks better, perhaps. As it stands, i.e. with bare flags without words (WP:MOSICON, WP:WORDPRECEDENCE) used to illustrate geographical location of clubs, it doesn't comply with the MoS. But I'm not going to edit war over it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:09, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Sentence structuring - Reply
Hi there GOVVY, from Portugal,

I apologize for the edit conflict created, and for (apparently, NEVER my intention) some summary "smart-assery" leading to deduce I thought too high of myself regarding the English language. It's just I had added some more refs to Llorente's article, did not want to "lose" that. I trust that the grammatical compromise in which I tried to engage following your reversion is acceptable.

Continue the good work, sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for the tip! --Quite A Character (talk) 11:17, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Do you mind reverting 's edit warring in European association football club records? SLBedit (talk) 22:21, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

, I really don't see much wrong with putting Cristiano Ronaldo before Messi, he won the latest Ballon d'Or and also if you run via the first name for alphabetical order then C becomes before L. I think Ronaldo should be top of that list. Unless you have some other information on your talk page about it, I don't know, you don't even seem to archive... Govvy (talk) 23:34, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * But Messi was the first to win it five times. SLBedit (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * When joint top the other sortables are then run by either, most recent, alphabetical, number value, they have the same number value, so it should be between alpha or most recent. Govvy (talk) 23:43, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Ronaldo was second on six occasions, Messi on four. This is usually how we untie clubs in winners tables. SLBedit (talk) 23:44, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

So you post three academy players, but for some reason, I think you're mixing up Josh Oluwayemi with some random miss-information that transfermarkt.com has picked up. You really aren't clear at all, you haven't said where you get all your information from. If you were clear from the beginning there wouldn't be so much miss-information. Josh is born in London and not Nigeria, has a different DOB different to the one you posted and way too young to even go on loan. Govvy (talk) 00:28, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Portosantense - Reply
Hello there,

yes, club is still "alive" per FORADEJOGO, in the Madeira regional divisions (please see here https://www.foradejogo.net/team.php?team=174). A player called Joshua John Bamidele Adeyileka (born 1997, see his FDJ entry here https://www.foradejogo.net/player.php?player=199707160007) has played for them, even though we have no appearances listed (in case he has any, of course!).

Transfermarkt, which we know for sure is unacceptable for this encyclopedia because it is user-generated, lists such a player at Tottenham's under-23 team from Portosantense (here http://www.transfermarkt.pt/joshua-adeyileka/profil/spieler/539026), data's worth what is worth :( Fun fact: Dele Alli's full name contains the name "Bamidele", could the confusion stem from here? Or maybe it's just good ole' vandalism that users from TM engage in to try and pass this or that info to WP as valid!

Hopefully I was of help, "whistle" if you have additional doubts/questions --Quite A Character (talk) 13:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Tottenham hotspur (cockerel)
You state in revising my edit that the link was "related to Sir Henry Percy". If so, then this should be explained. As it is, the link I changed takes "Hotspur" to "cockerel" not to"cock fight". Later in the article every link of "Hotspur" goes to "cockerel." Without explanation of the relationship with Percy, it appears to be a faulty link. Keyton (talk) 02:37, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * First off if there is any issues you see on the page, then raise them on that pages, talk page thanks. There are only two locations in the article regarding the cockerel, the lead and the bit regarding the emblem. I feel they are linked correctly for the correlation in the context of what is written.

Also in a reply in talk from another user, you state that attaining 2nd place carries no rewards, but the players are awarded silver medals.

Unfortunately, that is the risk we run when it comes to operating a free encyclopaedia that anyone can edit.

I do my best to keep tabs on edits and make sure they're up to scratch, but there are just too many articles out there and sometimes it's not worth quibbling over. – PeeJay 22:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

What kind of disruption do you mean? I separate the next season with last season kits. Besides the edit on Man City was done weeks ago. The season should be changed to next season since the 2017-18 has done, shouldn't it? – Flix11 (talk) 15:33, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The kits continue throughout the summer they are used in friendlies and summer tournaments, they are changed upon when the news ones are released, so removing them is very disruptive. Govvy (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Colchester United third kit
Please do not revert any further edits, Colchester United have not yet officially revealed the third kit for the 2018–19 season and will be added to Wikipedia as and when this occurs. Wikipedia does not have to follow the League rules as you had previously suggested and therefore is not a requirement! And even if it were to remain, the previous seasons third kit is extremely similar in design to this seasons away kit and is highly unlikely that both would be employed. Thanks, Jasonakagary88 (talk) 15:51, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * It is you that is is ignoring protocol, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. Govvy (talk) 16:23, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * , I really don't get you, you're obviously a Colchester fan and yet you haven't noticed the 3rd kit used on 10 July 2018 from this match report? What ever colour it is, I don't know, but it's certainly different to the first and second kit. Govvy (talk) 16:53, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Your evidence is poor, using a photograph from a pre-season friendly - the photograph in this instance from a league game last season and that certainly is not Braintree's kit - this is in fact Colchester's away kit from last season. Like I said, once it is officially revealed then it will be added. I'm not going against any consensus other than yours. Jasonakagary88 (talk) 17:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Cellular automata category
Hello Govvy,

Are you sure Category:Cellular automata in computer games is a good idea? The "in popular culture" one is already shallow. I don't see the benefit in splitting it further. Additionally, the exact same problems discussed over at WP:VG still apply to Zarlor Mercenary - you don't seem to have a source that this cheat code at all "mattered" or was notable. Maybe it is, but can you humor me and get that source first? And even if you find it, it can just be part of the popular culture category then, there's no need for a new category. SnowFire (talk) 22:25, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I do feel shot down a lot when trying to make improvements to wikipedia, anyway, I added another citation, extra stuff to Zarlor, I don't know why I didn't notice how poor the improvements were by some of the previous editors. P.S Zarlor Mercenary is my favourite game of all time for the Atari Lynx, I always want the best for it. Govvy (talk) 07:38, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

NFL tenancy at Spurs
Considering the NFL paid a significant portion of the construction costs for the stadium and that there will be a game played there every year for the next ten years, I'd say that makes the NFL a tenant of the new Spurs stadium. – PeeJay 13:55, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't, a tenant is a home venue. You can pay to use something, like being a member of a gym, you can't be a tenant of a gym. Govvy (talk) 13:56, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, and the Tottenham stadium is a home venue of the NFL for the next 10 years... – PeeJay 13:58, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Again no it isn't NFL is a franchise organisation, which operates the rules and regulations for it's League, the games being played at the ground will be with different teams, these teams are also their own entity. Each one of those teams have their home stadium. NFL doesn't tenant at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, it's a contract to host games. Govvy (talk) 14:03, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what a tenancy is. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is hosting NFL games for the next 10 years, which makes the NFL a tenant of the stadium. I'm quite familiar with how the NFL works, so please don't talk down to me about this. – PeeJay 17:44, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I work in Real Estate, I know what tenancy is, I don't know why you want to mess with me. Govvy (talk) 18:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Why are you assuming anyone is trying to mess with you? It's possible to be wrong without having some malicious intent behind one's conduct. As it happens, I don't believe I am wrong, but have it your way. – PeeJay 20:12, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Nilton Terroso - Reply
Hi "back"! It's gonna take me one day or two to cleanup my compatriot Ricardo Quaresma's article, but i'll surely have a look at Mr. Terroso's article after that and help out if needed. For the moment, i can tell you that the news article you just sent me is dead wrong in that assumption, the reliable FORADEJOGO.NET shows us he never played in higher than the Portuguese Second Division as a midfielder (please see here https://www.foradejogo.net/player.php?player=197909130003). He did coach Atlético CP in the 2015–16 LigaPro (check it here, same website https://www.foradejogo.net/manager.php?manager=10636).

Continue the good work, enjoy that weekend and i'll get back at you when i have more on Mr. Terroso! --Quite A Character (talk) 17:57, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Finished Quaresma cleanup now, and my eyes are LITERALLY hurting after eight hours (that no one forced me to endure, of course)! I'm going to get some well-earned rest and tomorrow i promise i'll have a look at the article concerned in the original message, if no one hasn't already beaten me to it :)

For the time being, a small favour if you can: in Mr. Quaresma's article, can you please make the publisher of the reference #25 display duly? Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but i can't see what's wrong.

Cheers --Quite A Character (talk) 05:55, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * The clock was ticking for me, i know ), but i've finished it! Some notes now: 1 - there must have been some mixup with his Sporting CP "career", because as FORADEJOGO.net shows us he played for S.C. Lourinhanense, who acted as the former's farm team for some decades; 2 - no appearances for Portugal's youths, if you go to the OFFICIAL Portuguese Football Federation website and perform a search on his surname (http://www.fpf.pt/), nothing will come of it - on a related note, why display ZERO caps for Canada's U15 and U17? 3 - did not read the available sources/articles through, so i don't know if it is sourced along the lines, but i found no individual source (on my browsing) for his work with the Welsh under-17 team.

Maybe his LigaPro spell is enough to warrant notability? Anyways, glad i could be of service! Attentively, from Portugal --Quite A Character (talk) 22:17, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Reliable sources are the preferred source
Contrary to your edit summary statement here: "Rv, overhanded editing, you can use primary sources, nothing against them, and it's common to put release dates on articles. Stop being disruptive." is directly contrary to Identifying reliable sources: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." It does not say that it should be based on primary source, so switch to 3rd party sources are correct and preferred. The reversal of said edits there for are disruptive in nature ("disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia."). Furture more, your claim is there for false that I should "Stop being disruptive." is false. Per WP:DISRUPTSIGNS, the removal of reliable sources, as a above is considered a sign of distruptive editing. Spshu (talk) 18:53, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
You should really read this discussion again. Both you and me participated in it and the majority agreed that there is nothing wrong in using the  field even if the team owns the venue. Just because you disagree with it that does not mean that you are right. The majority of participants said otherwise and you should act accordingly. You can always start a new discussion (since you were the user who removed it in the first place), but I doubt that you would do that due to your attitude. – Sabbatino (talk) 14:27, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Please use the term correctly, everyone is using the field wrong and the term wrong, there are three fields, owner, operator and Tenant. If there is only one owner and operator and they are the same, Tenant field shouldn't be used at all. Govvy (talk) 14:30, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You should look at Old Trafford, An Owner can not be a tenant this is basic rule of law, yet all three fields are being used, Owner, Operator and Tenant. This is bad form and poor use of the field. The Tenant field should be removed from here also. Govvy (talk) 14:43, 14 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Why not simply ask them add an occupant field. I think at the end of the last discussion there was no objection to occupant. Hzh (talk) 15:10, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I felt angry and rash last time, I still feel annoyed that ppl use the field incorrectly, there are three fields regarding a venues use. I don't think we need another one, we just should be using each field correctly. There are multiple erroneous uses of the Tenant field throughout wikipedia and that fact that I work in commercial real estate I have to make sure everyday that I get these things right for work, seeing them wrong on wikipedia just pisses me off!! Govvy (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * It seems from the discussion last time that people were using it in the American sense, i.e. as occupant. Just a difference in usage, having a different field would resolve the issue. Hzh (talk) 16:17, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Just because you work in the commercial real estate that does not mean that you get to speak for the community. If you want to change something then it is up to you to convince us at Template:Infobox venue and not the other way around. There are some things in Wikipedia that do not satisfy me, but I am not starting an edit war if there was already a discussion in the past and just ask again. – Sabbatino (talk) 16:23, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I never started an edit-war, if I see something wrong I will correct it, if people don't want to listen they don't want to listen. It's hard to change a stubborn person, it's even harder to change a stubborn mob. If people don't want to listen it's their problem not mine. Govvy (talk) 17:12, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * But if the majority disagree with you then that becomes your problem, because you seem to ignore what other people are writing to you. It was made clear to you in the last discussion and you ignored it. – Sabbatino (talk) 18:23, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

2018–19 Tottenham Hotspur F.C. season
Most team pages list first team players only, but if you're an authority on Spurs' things, then feel free to use other criteria. Only problem is that there is no such thing as 'registered to play for the first team' when it comes to players under the age of 21. Every academy player born after January 1st 1997 is eligible to play for the Spurs in the 2018-2019 season.

Why exactly is Oliver Skipp on the list? Using the same lack of logic why don't you add Kazaiah Sterling, Shayon Harrison etc. to the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by P0g0.try (talk • contribs) 15:35, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Xenophobe Atari Lynx box scan.jpeg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:12, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

 * At no point does MOS:SPORTFLAGS ask you to source the use of flags in a table unless they have represented two countries. By you definition of the rules, you would have to remove all flag icons from every football page and international national team page. No, we don't need to do that at all, all that's required is to provide the players international representation. It's the upper part of the 2018–19 Premier League where the flags should be removed, the managers do not represent their international team. Govvy (talk) 00:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Where is it stated that we are *required* to provide players' international representation? Mattythewhite (talk) 00:42, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * There isn't a requirement, it's down to what editorial format we are using on our tables in the football project. For a long time now we have used flagicons to represent a players nationality. It clearly says on the second paragraph. of (SPORTFLAGS) Where flags are used in a table, it should clearly indicate that they correspond to representative nationality.

 * WP:MOSFLAG recommends that "In lists or tables, flag icons may be relevant when such representation of different subjects is pertinent to the purpose of the list or table itself." I don't see that flag icons are *pertinent* to any of the tables they have been included, especially considering the article relates to a domestic club competition.
 * If we were to include flag icons, the flags should not be used alone, at least on the first instance. Per Manual of Style/Icons, "The name of a flag's political entity should appear adjacent to the first use of the flag". Mattythewhite (talk) 00:59, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * What about the last five or six seasons? Been using flagicons all the time for the previous premier league seasons, never had a problem before. It's been brought up numerous times on the Footy project page. I am only following what we have been doing for years, so I really don't understand why you want to change it now...

 * Just because something has been done a certain way for a long time doesn't mean it's necessarily correct. The MoS exists for a reason, and that reason isn't for it to be ignored. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:09, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I am colour blind, I have two browsers to use, one that helps read certain websites better, but one thing for sure, I can hover of a flag icon to read the alt code which tells me the country name, so it's not really so bad and I don't need the country name after the flag. I am lying here in bed getting really wound up now.

You do realise that MOSFLAG was written against the use of flags in prose and info-boxes, not so much tables. We use a lot of tables in these football articles. These list of statistics with players are in tables. We are just telling the reader that this football player represents this national team. That's not considered contentious material, there-for citations isn't really asked for. The players name is a link to their bio, which has the citation for the national team that player represents anyway. You need to assume good-faith that the reader understands this. Taking away flag icons, takes away that little bit of information that a lot of readers might find useful. I certainly find it very useful have flag icons. Govvy (talk) 01:22, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

2017–18 Premier League
Hello. I need your help in editing the 2017–18 Premier League page. It seems that the flag issue has become a problem and I've noticed how you put a stop to it on the 2018–19 Premier League page, so maybe you can also put a stop to that charade on the 2017–18 Premier League page. Thank you. TB Chigz (talk) 19:12, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, the reason the flag related edits at 2018–19 Premier League ceased was because I refused to engage in an edit war over the issue. I don't think it's wise to entice another edit to engage in such behaviour. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

You really shouldn't add flags to managers, they aren't representing their country. It's better not to have flags in those top tables on the Premier League page anyway. Take your comments to the talk page instead of engaging in edits like that. Govvy (talk) 20:01, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * You have been told multiple times flags are not necessary. Please stop. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:28, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Sportsfan 1234, the problem is coming from your end, not his because you're just removing the flags without explaining why and that's being unfair to other Wikipedia. It's you who should stop the disruptive editing. TB Chigz (talk) 10:20, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
