April 2018
Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Bob Bradley, 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.

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   15:30, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Adam Boyes. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't know where I'm supposed to find sources. The lower league football teams don't always update their websites. Besides, I am the source. I saw Adam play for Spennymoor against FC United of Manchester. I didn't get a copy of the team sheet though, the programmes were all gone by the time I got there. What do I use for a source if I can't find things on the Internet?


 * If you could tell me what would be considered as a decent source, and could tell me how to correctly format it, maybe I'll start adding sources. It's pointless telling me to do something when you haven't bothered telling me how to do it. I'm just saying. J. Robert Richardson (talk) 12:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Nevermind. I found a source. J. Robert Richardson (talk) 12:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Infobox dates
Hello, I'm User: Mattythewhite. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions was not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the club-update or pcupdate parameter for club stats, or the nationalteam-update or ntupdate parameter for international stats, by adding five tildes, which generates the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:53, 24 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I've updated the timestamps on the pages for Adam Boyes, Jamie Chandler, Shaun Tuton and Stephen Brogan. Not sure if the times are accurate, but the dates are. J. Robert Richardson (talk) 15:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
