Hello. With regards to your edits to Chard Town, it appears you have a conflict of interest, and should not be editing the article. You should instead make suggestions for improvement to the article talk page. Regarding the changing of the foundation date from 1920 to 1921, please provide a reliable source that gives the 1921 foundation date. Previously the club has claimed to have been founded in 1920, and this is the date used by other sources. With regards to the club logo, the version you have uploaded to commons is probably a copyright violation (either that, or the club has officially relinquished copyright by releasing it into the public domain?). However, I have updated the existing file (File:Chard Town F.C. logo.png) with the new logo, so the one on commons should no longer be required. If it is still showing the previous logo, please refresh your cache.

In addition, your username is a violation of our policies. As a result you have been temporarily blocked from editing. See below for how to resolve this issue. Cheers, Number   5  7  13:04, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I am entitled to edit it The assistant manager (coach) needs to be added and the club was formed in 1921

What is your problem? Malcolm Brown (talk) 21:54, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You are "entitled" to edit Wikipedia in accordance with its policies & principles. As you have a conflict of interest in regard to Chard Town F.C. you should not edit it directly. WP:TWA will help you learn what Wikipedia is about. Cabayi (talk) 06:39, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, as I explained in the edit summary, assistant managers/coaches are not shown in the infobox. The 'coach' parmeter is used when the manager has the title 'coach'. If you want the foundation date to be changed to 1921, you need to provide a source stating this. The club only recently decided it was founded in 1921 not 1920 (the previous badge had 'est 1920') on it, and other sources also use the 1920 date. Number   5  7  08:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
