Can You make a wikipedia page for this former Australian player Nelly Yoa who played with Chelsea FC and Wolverton town FC and trial with Queen Park Rangers Football Club

Please see WP:MOSFLAG. I believe the consensus is that flags should not be used for managers. GiantSnowman 09:28, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of historians, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Dalrymple. 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.

Official sources for Indian Super League from now on.
Hey, as a regular editor of not just articles pertaining to the Indian Super League but also Indian football as a whole I decided to send you this message. Recently, I have noticed that many sources which, in the past, we called reliable are now a bit off in terms of their reporting. For example, the Times of India reported that Robert Pires and Freddy Ljungberg had signed for both FC Goa and Mumbai City respectively, however, that very same paper, reported that Anelka is in negotiations with Mumbai City. This has lead to days of anons added Pires, Ljungberg, and Anelka as marquee players for these teams on ISL pages, despite the conflicting reports. Meanwhile, Sky Sports, had an article about Peter Reid joining Mumbai City but instead said he signed for Mumbai FC.

This is not the type of reporting I expect to see done and it is because of this that I would like to see us only use official sources. These sources would include the official website of the Indian Super League, the official facebook page (with link), and any of the verified Indian Super League facebook or twitter accounts. So, for example, the Times of India reported that Marco Materazzi had signed as head coach of Chennai but instead of adding Marco like we would with say an TOI article on the I-League we will instead wait till the news is officially verified by the league or team. It is these methods we must use to protect wikipedia's goal in terms of accuracy. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:01, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Viale (footballer)
Sincerely, what made you think this guy is a FULLY-PRO footballer? MYS  77  ✉ 05:32, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * And can you please create pages with a better level of English. Your Spanish creations were not that good, mate. Thanks, MYS  77  ✉ 05:41, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, it's better having the FULL NAME instead of using a short name! VIALE has a brother, LUCAS VIALE, whilst a French forward, Julien Viale, also exists! THREE Viale who are FOOTBALLERS! Don't you think this is too much? I'll move this page to Juan Manuel Viale. MYS  77  ✉ 14:11, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * And also, please do not use "footballer playing...". It is disjointed. Use "footballer WHO PLAYS..." Cheers, MYS  77  ✉ 14:45, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you make sure you take this advice on board? I've improved the language of the Pol García, it might be of benefit to take a look. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 19:21, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

André Martins
1. neither I nor the reader should be expected to trawl through external links to verify the content of the article. That's what references are for;

2. you left the article saying he had 11 appearances for Sintrense: he hasn't;

3. the name of the as-of date infobox parameter is club-update; just because pcupdate still works now, it won't forever, and we should use the current name;

4. MOS:BLPLEAD, the section of Wikipedia's Manual of Style that deals with the opening of an article, says at bullet-point 5 that the opening paragraph should include why the player is notable;

5. if we're talking creating decent small articles, as opposed to doing it in a sloppy manner, I suggest you go back to the André Martins page and add some references, fix the Soccerway template call so it just includes the name and not the disambiguation bracket as well, and remove the "simply known as" bit: if the player were David Richard John Beckham, you wouldn't add simply known as David Beckham, nor do we for Portuguese players using their first name and surname.

You've been here long enough to have seen short footballer biographies created by others, and you're intelligent enough to be able to tell that some of what they do is better than some of what you do. Please take note of this, and take a bit more time over your work. I see the administrator Mattythewhite has mentioned something similar above. You really would do well to listen. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:42, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Stijn Houben a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. czar ♔   17:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Stub attack
Hey mate, I see all the articles for players you are creating and it is cool and all but honestly at this point in your wiki career you should probably add more to these articles instead of leaving them as just stubs and stuff. Like, you have the template on my page for example which has a table and everything... you need to make the next step and really put some time into these articles because remember, it is not just WP:NFOOTY these players need to pass but also WP:GNG and that means more than just one sentence.

True man... btw ArsenalFan, you're a big man because you can admit you did exactly the same.. You didn't really add anything on Olsson's page... so i posted "please add at least something" haha. I still rememeber that one. Now Royroydeb is doing the same.. come on mate, make yourself useful here. We won't fix your mess, it's your article. Poor Andrea Palazzi and more. Cheers Eden10Hazard (talk) 23:27, 9 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry for "reviving" it now, but seeing (and knowing) Hazard and RRD's contributions here I don't think they'll improve what they currently do, ArsenalFan. Both create pages very quickly just to get the credit (and hoping maybe someday the guy will become a world class player). I'll ask you both to improve your storyline (which is very poor and disjointed). However, I'll give Hazard some "benefit of the doubt", because he once explained me how his contributions work.


 * Ah, and Hazard and RRD, please do me a favor: when you BOTH create ANY Spanish player, please, in the edit summary, include this: MYS77 just to notice me about the guy and I'll improve the page (as I did with thousands and thousands of articles you both created).
