Request for help
Hi there JAELLEE, VASCO here,

what do you think can be done about this "user" (please here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/189.30.99.242)? He has received his fair share of warnings, and he continues to remove stuff from boxes/intros, and also inserts new teams for players when the moves are only pure speculation.

I have tried in what has to be his (my) mother tongue, Portuguese, no luck there. What else can we do? Thanks and happy week - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 21:18, 31 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It's more or less useless with Brazilian "users", with the number of IPs to which they can have access (here is the same guy at work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:187.55.22.15; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/187.5.176.172), left him another message in Portuguese, chances are he might not even read it... --Vasco Amaral (talk) 16:40, 23 August 2011 (UTC)


 * If you want to participate in this discussion (please see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Brazilian_VANDAL), be my guest mate. Happy weekend - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)


 * From what i see, the last IP, the one that i mention in the WP:FOOTY discussion, is still active (four days in a row). I guess we could/should ask that it be blocked. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 19:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * And another one (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/189.30.65.79), sorry to keep bothering (helping?) you... --Vasco Amaral (talk) 16:23, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Metadata (WP:Persondata)
Servus! Thanks for quickly adding the ref over at Michael Klauß (footballer born 1987). I also saw you had changed the double-S to the eszett in the Persondata template. Do you know if the metadata supports diacritics now? Because I had asked some time ago at the relevant discussion page and never got an answer. Cheers buddy!

Franck Ribéry
Hi, there. Thanks for your note about my edit to Franck Ribéry. It seems I made a mis-click when trying to revert something, or got my info wrong, so thanks for fixing my error. ItsZippy (talk) 17:16, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I'm really sorry - I'm not trying to revert your edits. not harm intended. ItsZippy (talk) 17:18, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your reply. I think this resulted from some partially reverted vandalism earlier which I did not manage correctly. I know that he does not play for Chelsea, I have been trying to rectify that mistake. I fixed it earlier (replacing mentions of Chelsea with Bayern Munich), but it seems to have come undone. I am as confused as you are as to why it seems that I am adding false information. This is not my intention. Every time I try and fix the problem, it seems to go wrong. Therefore, I propose the following. If you fix the information in the article so that it is correct now, I shall avoid editing the article completely. I'm not sure why I keep adding false information (perhaps I'm clicking something accidentally, I don't know). I don't want to annoy you or anyone else, so I'll just stop editing the article. Is that ok? I'm really sorry for any problems I've caused you. Thanks. ItsZippy (talk) 17:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it for me; I'm not quite sure what happened. Don't feel you need to apologise - it wasn't your fault. Anyway, I expect that the vandalism today was because today is the last day of the English transfer window. There is, as usual, a lot of speculation flying about, so people will edit the page giving club changes that they've heard (often in good faith, sometimes not). I noticed quite a bit of vandalism on the pages of many player about whom there has been a lot of speculation. There might still be a little vandalism in the next few days, but I expect it to calm down now. As I said before, I'm sorry for the problems, and thank you for understanding.
