Recent edit to Woking F.C.
Hello. I noticed that you recently made a contribution to the Woking F.C. article that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse readers. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! 12:46, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Infobox dates
Hi, when updating club stats in the infobox you should update the pcupdate or club-update parameter by adding five tildes, which generates the specific time the update was made. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 11:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015–16 Surrey Senior Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chipstead. 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.

unblock|1=Not entirely sure why I was blocked. It was hardly 'disruptive' as I was editing stats on football player (Lewis Baker) which are true? From this website: http://uk.soccerway.com/players/lewis-baker/215566/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcressey (talk • contribs)


 * I gave you the warning on Baker because you removed every reference in an entire section leaving it totally uncourced. Why? Also seeing your warnings in the past you have a habbit of not updating timestamps and yet in this edit you missed it again. Qed237&#160;(talk) 22:01, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't want to sound annoying here, but I think you should be more worried about blocking other editors out there are actually disrupting pages by sourcing incorrect or false information. Sometimes I forget to update the time stamps, but surely it can't do much harm. So please can you give me one more chance. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcressey (talk • contribs)


 * That is not for me to decide as I am not an administrator. I gave you a warning, which you did not seem to understand, so I gave you an explanation why you got warned. Not updating timestamp may be serious as other editors look at the date and say "oh, not updated" so same cap is added again and the player has more caps then they should and a factual error. Also by not updating timestamp you actually introduce a factual error because the player had not played that many games by the date you left them with. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif"><b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>&#160;<b style="color:green">(talk)</b></i> 22:13, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm sure you have forgotten to update time stamps once. Obviously I forgot to update them, and for the Wallace edit I was not warned until I was blocked??? There is only one other example from the Lewis Baker one, which was the Michael Woods one. But from what I can see and from my experience I would normally say I'am pretty consistent at adding time stamps. So is there any way an administrator could remove the block or decrease the time of the block. To be honest this is hardly anything "disruptive". I don't want to make this any more difficult than you do. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcressey (talk • contribs)
