Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We'd like to invite you to participate in a user study closely related to SuggestBot.

Football Alliance players
Hello. I was adding Category:Football Alliance players to players as per 1889–90 Newton Heath LYR F.C. season, and am wondering whether the player listed there as Andrew Mitchell shouldn't actually be John Mitchell? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:16, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Shrunken text
Hi there. Just thought I'd ask before changing anything, so as to not interrupt the status quo - is there any reason for shrunken text for Match officials on the FIFA World Cup pages, when it appears nowhere else on the page? I was going to change them all to 100 percent size so that they were readable, but I wanted to ask for your say-so before doing so - as they have been this way for the last five years. Other squad pages are this way, too. Bobo. 00:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Benfica vs Chelsea 2013-05-15.svg
Hello PeeJay2K3.

I saw your file in the 2013 UEFA Europa League Final and I noticed some mistakes regarding Benfica's lineup. Rodrigo is not a midfielder and that Benfica played in a 4x4x2 formation (4x2x2x2 variant). Matic played as a defensive midfielder, Enzo as a box-to-box, the other Argentine players were the left and right midfielders, Cardozo played as the center forward while Rodrigo was the second striker.

It was like this: Cardozo Rodrigo Gaitán                   Salvio Enzo Matic

Here are some references: foradejogo, zonalmarking.

Would you mind editing the file? Best regards. P3DRO (talk) 05:44, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

No scoring plays
All of the changes I made to those football pages were for consistency. They were all mixed up. "No scoring", "None", and "No scoring plays". I thought the last one seemed good enough so I made it consistent across the board, along with the other changes which is for screenreader users and the readability issue the semicolon gives. I don't think I really did anything wrong with the "no scoring plays" thing. --Jennica ✿ / talk 21:56, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Reverts
I am a little confused. You said my edits made sense but continue [?] to revert them, then asked why I haven't done other seasons besides 2016, which I did. So if I continue to edit these pages, you're just going to revert them? "No scoring plays" is sufficient and it was on the majority of the pages I found. "No scoring plays" makes the most sense because it's more complete than "none". It is in the "Game information" table. 'None'.. 'None what?'. --Jennica ✿ / talk 22:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

On the Runner up mentions in honours
You removed my edits where I put runner up medals on Wayne Rooney. There are countless such footballers on Wikipedia that have runner up medals mentioned in their honours. Off the top of my mind, Gigi Buffon. Runner up is mentioned there, even for league titles. If it stands for some, why not for all? And as for Rooney not being involved in 2008 CS, same point.

Sorry to have to message you like this, but would you mind taking a look at User:Hookahey's edits (as well as the anon User:83.249.92.167, who I believe to be the same person but pre-registration)? I spotted they've consistently changed "Bayern Munich" to "Bayern München" in the 1985–86 European Cup article and I feel like some of their other edits have been fairly unconstructive. To be fair, they're mixed in with a lot of other useful edits, but having to sift through a lot of crap to find the golden nuggets is vexing to say the least. – PeeJay 19:26, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks man. I'd have done it myself, but present circumstances are a bit of an impediment. I think Hookahey has done the same on a bunch of other articles going back to 1981–82 European Cup (if you include his IP alter ego), but I'll see to those when I'm properly back in action. – PeeJay 20:35, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. You've been blocked from editing for 3 months due to (greatly) exceeding the Three revert rule. Please be more careful in the future.

Not that many chances left, frankly. Next 3RR block is likely to be for 9 months, and after that ... years. Keep that in mind—let that motivate you to keep your composure, avoiding future edit wars.

 * I understand what you're saying, but the fact remains that the sources back up the position I was attempting to maintain on that article. With that in mind, I think a three month block is excessive, and I would appeal to you to reduce it significantly. Edit warring is overly stigmatised here, and I find it ludicrous that I am being punished for trying to keep the encyclopedia accurate. – PeeJay 21:51, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Your last 3RR block was for one month—going triple that amount seemed fair. You may be right on the material, but edit warring is not to be tolerated on Wikipedia. Having the article display the wrong information while you convince others on the talk page is not the end of the world. So, you do ought to come to terms with that. El_C 22:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Triple seems a little arbitrary, and frankly excessive. – PeeJay 23:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose it is a little bit—it's how the block menu is set for us: 1 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years. But I could have done it manually. Three months just seemed fitting in light of the previous seven 3RR blocks. By the way, that's eight total 3RR blocks for you. I doubt you'll be allowed to reach 10 before a siteban.

 * Over the course of 12 years on Wikipedia, that's really not very many, and usually they've all been for minor offences. By the way, if you check this diff, the guy who reported me seems to be in full agreement with the position I was trying to enforce. I recognise that Wikipedia believes edit warring is bad, but punishing someone for making the encyclopaedia better is ludicrous. – PeeJay 12:34, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * What's ludicrous is eight 3RR offenses and what you've been allowed to get away with with only days of blocks at a time. But once someone has blocked you for a month, that's it, you're in the realm of months now. You'll never be blocked for days again for 3RR, not even weeks. I can appreciate you not realizing this. And it's not punishment—it's in part deterrence against edit warring. But since your last offense was 2 years ago, I'm willing to reduce the block to three weeks. Very few admins would do this—just ask any one of them once your block expires, and you'll realize how lucky you were to have gotten me and not pretty much anyone else. From now on, really be strict with yourself, no matter what error is glaring at you. Don't revert war again at any cost. And approach 3RRNO with great caution. The block length next time is going to floor you. Don't say you weren't forewarned. El_C 07:35, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

PeeJay2K3, have not looked at the details but you would do well to use RfC. If the best avaliable sources support the wording you propose things should go your way. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 14:50, 27 March 2017 (UTC)


 * When you reduced the block duration, did you intend for it to be 21 days from the initial block or 21 days from the date you changed the duration? – PeeJay 09:48, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * From the date I changed the duration. El_C 21:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
