Career stats tables
By your conmpliment (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:HHRIA123#Career_stats_tables), do you mean this? His Rijeka stuff was nothing but the club's HOMEPAGE, I browsed the player's name in there found nothing. Link removed (by the way, not saying the players you mentioned in the message are not A.O.K. as I have not seen them, but Mr. Ravnic certainly is not)!

Attentively, happy week --Quite A Character (talk) 10:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I have already contacted said user, to see if they can come up with a decent source for Mr. Ravnic. To be honest, i don't really understand/care about the layout of said charts, just as long as the content is sourced :) --Quite A Character (talk) 20:19, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Good to see the FCSB nuisance (see message below) is receiving their comeuppance :) Regarding your WP:FOOTY input (and Dinis Almeida), yes some of my summaries are not cool and the fact I have longsince lost my patience with this user is not a valid excuse. But can one consider inserting a reference where a permanent purchase has taken place then calling it a LOAN even a half-valid edit? I think not, but you may think differently of course.

you complained (as did i!) back in the day about this utter nuisance, well they continued as seen in Artur Jorge Marques Amorim.

Your edit warring at Matthew Spiranovic
Please cease these bad faith reversions, or I will take action with the admins. As far as I am concerned the edit war that you are perpetrating, while hiding behind irrelevant guidelines is not good faith editing. The edits are legitimate, the events happened and have already been sourced on the page, both for that specific event, and for his career as a whole. Once again, if you disagree with the actual fact, that somehow the player in question did not play in the final of the 2015 Asian Cup, please tell me why that is false, I would be greatly interested to hear it, because I attended the event in question and it would be a stunning piece of information to hear.

Caps in infoboxes - Reply
Hi there RIO (not to be confused with this one!),

I am not going to sugarcoat it, but i was aware of that guideline and i knew/know that SOCCERWAY "glued" regular season/playoff appearances for the given season. I sometimes still incur in that one myself, especially when a player only has an infobox and no additional statistic chart.

It's not a glaring error if one comes to think of it, one can say that playoff stuff is still league matches, albeit in a second stage. But i'll try to be more sympathetic in the future and insert only REGULAR SEASON numbers in the infobox.

Display of language field in refs - Reply
Hello there to you too, kind sir!

My reply is the following: no, cannot say i've ever heard of a per se guideline regarding that. I saw the odd editor(s) do it here and there in a couple of articles, and as i saw the language field was still displayed the same i thought i'd engage in that too to save "writing troubles".

However, if i incurred in any wiki-illegality doing so (can't see how or why, however), please notify me and i'll stop doing it. Cheers as well! --Quite A Character (talk) 20:19, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Removing "Use British English"
Please do not remove Use British English as you did at Talk (Coldplay song) when you added EngvarB. The first lets editors know about the English variant in use. As it says at the EngvarB template: Please note that is now independent of any British English templating. It has its own categorisation, also independent of British (or indeed any other) English variant categorisation. Thanks. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:16, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks,, for alerting me to this differentiation, I wasn't aware of it. In fact, the unfortunate thing is that the script by , which is recommended at EngvarB, automatically replaces Use British English. This led me to assume it is meant to. Robby.is.on (talk) 19:17, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * When I created the Use British English template, I never considered that I would be creating language bunkers where Brits would huddle down with their code variant and Australians would huddle down with theirs, so I set about changing it. However, different English language code templates soon started appearing like mushrooms. The script was actually designed as a code-neutral maintenance tool, so the EngvarB template does that job in a unifying way. It's actually unimportant which language code (out of British, Irish, Singaporean, South African, Hong Kong etc) any given article uses because the script would act in exactly the same way for British articles as it would for South African ones, and multiplication of the different code templates isn't helpful as it actually complicates the maintenance work due to the existence of multiple categories instead of just one. Please refer to the script documentation. --  Ohc  ¡digame! 20:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess it is better to use British English on the talk page or in an edit notice. Editors do come along and try to "correct" spellings. StarryGrandma (talk) 22:19, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Ovidiu Hațegan
Hi there Robby, all well? Hopefully so!

Thanks for helping out in this referee's page yesterday. I did my best too, and now the question: as i am as dumb as they come regarding technicalities, and as the tag is rather specific, do you think it's OK to remove it after my additions or not (maybe it has to do with the present wording?)? I was rather touched by this last situation (i) added to storyline, and proceeded to improve the piece, hopefully the readers will like it. Great Van Dijk "killing" two birds with one stone, in the line-ups prior to the anthems, he took out his tracksuit jacket and put it on the shoulders of a German girl who was shivering!

I bet if the wife of Corry Evans saw that footage she might even grin at this man's pain (please see this https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/northern-ireland-stars-wife-launches-13886358), have people no shame? Making a war out of the sport, and like disgusting cowards through social media!!

Best regards, continue the good work --Quite A Character (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello. :-) Yes, thank you,.
 * You're welcome. It was definitely a good idea to add the recent event to the article and I like the improvements you've made a lot. I'm not very experienced with handling tags. I have two suggestions: 1. check with the editor who added the tag to the article, 2. have a look at good examples of articles for referees to see what kind of information usually needs to be included for the articles to be fair and balanced.
 * That woman's hateful rant is just disgusting! :-(
 * Happy editing, Robby.is.on (talk) 11:45, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Bénes
Hey, sorry, I was unaware of Transfermarkt's classification. I'll try to abstain in the future.

Regarding the removal of the the quote regarding Hungarian national team, there is no ground to keep it there, as 1. monitoring Slovak football, I never came across any interest of Hungary, 2. Bénes never showed public interest or the initiative in representing Hungary, 3. at the time of his senior debut in the national team, he was active in Slovak U21, 4. during his tenure at U21, he was already doubted and praised as a future for the senior squad, 5. there is no evidence to suggest that he is in possession of Hungarian passport, 6. his ethnic background is discussed elsewhere on the page.

So albeit not incorrect, I removed it as it is 1. misleading, 2. repetitive.

Hope it answers your question.

Thorsten Stückmann
Robby, Perhaps you should actually follow your own council before saying I have a changed a name incorrectly. I'm friends with quite a few of the Bundesliga commentators including Phil Bonney, Derek Rae, Chris Sharples, and Rob Turner. They all work with Thorsten Stückmann calling the World Feed for the Bundesliga and the DfB Pokal, where Thorsten is one of the analysts. They asked him the correct spelling of his last name because there are reports of Stuckmann and Stückmann. Thorsten said the correct spelling IS Stückmann. So I'm going off of the information from the individual directly as well as those who work with him. Next time maybe you should ask where someone gets a correction from before changing it to be listed incorrectly.Bigddan11 (talk) 20:15, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You haven't seen any sources BECAUSE in most cases they don't put the punctuation on uniforms. The actual pronunciation of his name is (Stew)ckmann not (Stuck)mann, which you can hear by watching one of the matches he calls. The ü is what causes the pronunciation to be done correctly. Marc Wallace is a former newspaper writer in the UK, and he covered Thorsten, making special use to use that punctuation on Twitter a few years ago. https://twitter.com/MarcJWallace/status/1052187452075634688 Bigddan11 (talk) 20:28, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not asking you to take my word for it. You claimed I hadn't done any research, and I recounted that by pointing out that I had 5 sources who said that was the correct spelling, including the player himself. If you want to leave it incorrect because you can't find an article with the correct spelling, that's fine. As for your counter that German jerseys do have the correct punctuation, the answer is not always. Go back and watch some Bundesliga highlights on YouTube from earlier seasons. It wasn't until around 2010 that they began using the punctuation regularly.Bigddan11 (talk) 20:56, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey Robby, since you are involved in this article I thought I'd clue you in on some recent developments: legal threat on my talk page, my block of user making the threat. I don't understand why they are claiming defamation. The article's a BLP, so if there's libelous material, it must be taken seriously. I don't, however, see any controversial stuff on the page, and I don't understand how the editor's changes to the article could have removed any potentially libelous material. Let me know if there's something I'm missing. Otherwise, I just wanted to let you know what's going on. Best, Airplaneman   ✈  16:46, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for keeping me in the loop. The threats are definitely concerning. At the same time, I'm confident there's nothing to fear. The article is well sourced and the edits – most of the recent ones are mine – were made in good faith. Also, as you said, the editor's changes don't appear to have removed any material which could be seen as libelous. [Edit: Oh, and by the way, the same legal threat was posted in English to the page's Talk page by an IP which I assume is the same person as the blocked user.] Cheers, Robby.is.on (talk) 19:02, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I’m enquiring whether I am correct or not because you helped me a lot in the past (this is not relevant to Tolgay Arslan) Basically, I sourced a player (Ekpe Udoh) as Nigerian because he has been selected for the Nigerian National team, however I have been threatened and also I have been reported over this edit, however my sources are more up to date than the people challenging me and on Wikipedia it says the national team is the nationality and flag they will have on their page. But they are reporting me because he was born in America - however he plays for Nigeria so I edited his nationality to Nigeria and sourced it - they are fighting me over it and using outdated sources. Am I correct in calling him Nigerian since he is a member of the Nigerian National team? Every player on Wikipedia has nationality to their national team. Thank you

However, I sourced all my edits and they continuously removed them even though they are very up to date and accurate so I can’t understand how I am being attacked from all corners with insults and they are vandalising the page but get away with both of these things

 * I can't spot any insults directed at you. What do you mean? In all the time of your editing I haven't seen you source a lot. In the case of Ekpe Udoh, you added a link to the FIBA website but it's been challenged. Per WP:BRD you shouldn't start edit-warring but discuss your intended changes, for example on the article's Talk page. Again, I'm confident the discussion at AN/I can end without a topic ban but for that to happen, you need to show that you can collaborate with other editors without being unnecessarily argumentative. Robby.is.on (talk) 12:41, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

I have been discussing with them, and I also showed them the article, he suggested American-Nigerian and I agreed but instead it was just changed back to American. However when I try to discuss with them I get biased (my points being completely ignored) and insults such as the following: “Nationality is a legal status. It has nothing to do with who you play a sport for THIS IS A SIMPLE FACT. IT IS NOT OPEN TO DISPUTE. If you are incapable of understanding this, I suggest you spend more time improving your education, and less on making misleading edits to Wikipedia.”

However in all my time on Wikipedia I have been told that the nationality is relevant to the national team allegiance - which I took on board as you can see I stopped with the previous edits before Tolgay Arslan as I began to understand how it works - I then applied what I have learnt and understood from my time on Wikipedia to Ekpe Udoh and the result was to be insulted, reported and be essentially ganged up on from multiple users for just carrying through my understanding of how I have been taught about how players are identified on Wikipedia - which is by national team allegiance.

 * Yes, I found that insult, on your Talk page. That is not acceptable. I see quite a bit of discussion there, too, which is good. It's a pity it got so heated. Your calling Railfan23 "clueless" was out of line, and they remained civil throughout. Robby.is.on (talk) 14:53, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok yes I agree I was wrong to do that, the reason some things came out like this were because I felt like I was being attacked from all areas by users which weren’t even involved but were siding against me and what I’ve been told to do throughout my history on this website. This isn’t an excuse but naturally I was angry at the fact all this is happening and people are attacking and insulting me and falsely accusing me of things like using more than one account and their insults not being taken up on I felt like I was targeted and there was hypocrisy. However yes I agree I shouldn’t have done that.

One more effort to make you realize you're in danger of being blocked
I'm happy to buzz off, but recognize, but edit warring, without discussion puts you in a precarious position. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:54, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * And you can still prevent that by self-reverting your fourth revert and discussing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:56, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Patronising
Don't leave such patronising notes on talk pages, or delete things that are not seriously disputed. Kevin McE (talk) 14:07, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I was too lazy to write it out in a less patronising voice and instead opted to use a warning template. But it does seem you have been an editor here for a long enough time to know that content of the kind you added should come with a reliable source. I certainly have seen similar additions that were entirely made up. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 21:54, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * So you deleted rather than checking. Maybe if you do not have time, or are feeling "too lazy" to do it properly, you shouldn't try to edit Wikipedia. Kevin McE (talk) 08:26, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I guess the same could be said for you not including a reference? Where does that leave us? Much ado about nothing if you ask me. Robby.is.on (talk) 17:26, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing
Please try and remember to include an actual source for a transfer, rather than just Soccerway (like at Ablie Jallow). GiantSnowman 17:16, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . I try to, especially with players of the top leagues. But facing the amount of outdated player pages and the limited time at my disposal it seems more pragmatic to me to skip inline references here and there than to keep pages outdated. Robby.is.on (talk) 17:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Charts
Hi there Robby, all well?

Please, can you lend a fellow user a hand? I'm not proficient (to put it mildly!) when it comes to charts of statistics, so come to you for help as you seem to be an ace in the department ;)

Without further ado: 1 - reading this message i sent another veteran user (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mattythewhite#Helping_out, they couldn't/wouldn't find the time to assist, i respect either way), can you arrange the charts of José Sá and Bruno Gaspar? It's all explained in detail (i.e. gross confusion of leagues in Portugal, it involves the reserve teams), but if you have any doubt please whistle and i'll gladly elaborate;

2 - finally, found this after engaging in conversation with a fellow veteran user which is Spanish, for Vicente Guaita's Tercera División stats with Valencia CF Mestalla (see here, https://issuu.com/xaba74/docs/26_gu__a_marca_de_la_liga_2017-2018, you might have to scroll up to page 116 to find the squad of Getafe CF, where he played at the time; pretty reliable source, a Marca yearbook it seems).

Kind regards, thanks in advance --81.193.141.118 (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi. :) Yes, thanks for asking. Hope the same goes for you?


 * I will have a look tomorrow. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 21:09, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Better now? :-) Robby.is.on (talk) 20:06, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Great job, as always! Many thanks, but there's Guaita still "waiting" :) --81.193.141.118 (talk) 21:08, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the high praise! I am afraid the text in that document is too small for me to read… Maybe take this opportunity to give editing the stats table a try? ;-) You can copy-paste existing stuff from the table and replace it with the relevant content. That's how I familiarised myself with these tables. :-) Robby.is.on (talk) 21:27, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

User:Mega60, the Spanish contributor that sent that link to my talk, says that it shows Mr. Guaita as having played 28 matches in the 2007–08 Tercera División. I'll give it a whirl, but i don't think anything good will come out of it :( --81.193.141.118 (talk) 19:59, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to clean up after you… ;-) Robby.is.on (talk) 21:42, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Done to the best of my abilities, of course it was not good enough! While you perform the cleanup, i don't think those totals are correct (i only added the 28 matches overall, but it does not seem to add up). --81.193.141.118 (talk) 18:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Looked pretty good to me, honestly. The only thing missing was to increase the rowspan for the "Valencia Mestalla" as we added season for that club stint. I fixed the totals. Robby.is.on (talk) 19:21, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Notification
Hi there Robby,

per your last message in my talk, i'd add that it's all been taken care of. Thanks for TPS'ing, kind regards --81.193.141.118 (talk) 15:16, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Rodrigo (footballer, born 1991)
Robby, what's your intake on the following?

According to one fellow user, his goal against Chelsea in the CL group phase marked Valencia's first-ever win over the opposition, and a source from Marca was inserted to accompany the text. I read, and read, and read that Spanish text, found ZERO mention of that; searched the web and found another ref, but one who seemed to state it was their first-ever win on that ground (#32, from La Razón, end of second paragraph reads "Barkley lanzó el balón al larguero y los valencianistas consiguieron el primer triunfo de su historia en Stamford Bridge.", meaning "Barkley's shot hit the bar and the Valencia men got the first win in their history at Stamford Bridge.").

Next thing i know, the user contradicts me. But they did not shed any additional light on the matter, they only said "No you are not right, I am" (so to speak). Inputs please (P.S. since you created this situation, please drop your opinion here too if you like, it would be appreciated)?

Attentively, to both --81.193.141.118 (talk) 14:05, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This should be discussed at the article's Talk page, edit summaries are a poor substitute for that. Sarcastic comments like "Great Anglish and display again, User:Hassan Ashas" are not WP:CIVIL and not conducive to coming to a friendly agreement over a content dispute. That's all from me for now. Robby.is.on (talk) 14:51, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Let me clear this a bit. As an avid follower of La Liga, I had read different previews of the Chelsea vs Valencia UCL game and all of them had one common thing, i.e. Chelsea have never lost to Valencia. And after the game as well, it was mentioned by different platforms (however, on twitter) that Valencia have won their first ever game against Chelsea. I can link you to various sources as well which will confirm this. The best source would be the Head to Head record of Valencia against Chelsea, click here
 * Few others are the following,
 * Squawka (After the game article)
 * Talksport (Preview of the game)
 * La Liga Lowdown (Twitter Handle)
 * La Liga Lowdown (Twitter Handle)


 * It was my mistake that I added the source of Marca without reading it thoroughly and I accept it and say sorry for that. It was so heavily mentioned everywhere on twitter and other such platforms that I thought the Marca article would also have mentioned it (I was actually trying to find an article giving spotlight to Rodrigo and wasn't trying to validate the fact that this was their first win ever against Chelsea)


 * And why did I not add any of the above sources I mentioned into the article the second time? Because from what I have been told (on my older Wikipedia edits) that any of these sites aren't trustworthy enough to be added on Wikipedia. I have added several such sources (such as transfermarkt and etc), only to see them removed later by other senior users. Therefore, since then I try my best to add sources from newspapers like BBC, Marca and such.


 * As far as the English is concerned, it is not my first language and my English language skills aren't that great either. However, I have been reading lots of different articles on Wikipedia and I have been trying to type things in a way they are written on those other articles whenever I make edit now. I am still quite new to Wikipedia (compared to others here). I realize there are many shortcomings in my edits and I really appreciate you or anyone else who improves them whenever they can and I can also ensure that I do try to improve them every day.
 * Also, yes, I do use Google Translation to translate Spanish sources into English when adding a source since I do not have any knowledge of Spanish language. If you do know a better translator then please do suggest. It's just this that I think there is so little content in all the articles related to Spanish Football here on Wikipedia (like, you can see the article of [|Dani Parejo], who's actually one of the best footballers currently in the top tier) and I just try to add things in them whenever I possibly can...


 * And sorry Robby for writing all this on your talkpage. Hope it's not an issue Hassan Ashas (talk) 17:12, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It's fine, . And I value your contributions even if your additions may not be perfect English. :-) Robby.is.on (talk) 17:19, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you, appreciate it ^_^ Hassan Ashas (talk) 18:00, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, i apologise to both for: 1 - not conducting this in the article's talk page; 2 - my summaries. Case closed (but again Robby, even tough Hassan's sourcing was not correct and mine was, your only input was to again scold me (i did deserve that, certes, but only that? As if you were saying "Not talking to holier-than-thou idiots")? Sorry to bother you, nice week to you and --81.193.141.118 (talk) 18:24, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I have already apologised directly in HA's talkpage. Now, last time i post anywhere about anything in a long time (this polite but to-the-point message to a fellow user was reverted in 30 seconds just because! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mattythewhite&diff=921079772&oldid=921079753), but would like to have the same done to me if possible.


 * Sorry to bother you immensely again, Robby --81.193.141.118 (talk) 19:05, 13 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I know i had promised to stop bothering you for a while, but this just in: Mr. Ashas replied to my apology request at his page, and he was a class act. Feel a little ashamed of my actions even though nothing personal was meant (99,9999999999% of my summaries are just me and my hystericals, nothing else, the vandals i DO MEAN to insult, at least i admit it), but unfortunately can't change the past, only feel blessed by the politeness from the other side of the court and try to behave (much) better from now on.


 * Now, i stop bothering you, goodbye for now --81.193.141.118 (talk) 22:22, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, 81.193.141.118. We're always learning, right? :-) The reason I only commented on edit summaries and not on the content dispute itself is that I felt that this was something the two of you could easily sort out without my help. If there are disagreements over content on an article, the first thing to try is a civil discussion on the Talk page of the article in question. That way, others who have the page on their watchlist can join the discussion if necessary. WP:DR is worth a read, its summary states: "Resolve disputes calmly, through civil discussion and consensus-building on relevant discussion pages. There are several available options to request opinions from editors outside the dispute: other dispute resolution mechanisms include requests for comments, the dispute resolution noticeboard or, after all other methods have been tried, arbitration.".
