Sourcing stats tables
Hello. Noticed you added a career stats table to Cristian Hidalgo, but the single source at the top only verifies some of the content. Please could you either remove the unsourced content, or, preferably, add sources that do verify the remainder, i.e. all stats for Barcelona (both teams), and also cups before he joined Hercules, and clarify which sources cover which bits of content. Incidentally, you may not be aware that the MoS for career stats tables discourages totals rows for single-season spells with a club. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 09:14, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * As you've neither fixed the problem nor answered the message, I've removed the unsourced content. I'm sure you'll agree we don't want to continue to mislead the reader by leaving a "reference" next to material it blatantly doesn't verify. I think I've got the amended totals right... Please feel free to undo my edit, so long as you fix the sourcing at the same time. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 09:58, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A similar problem exists at Mário Felgueiras, in a stats table which you added after my initial message above. If you persist in adding material together with a source that you know full well doesn't verify the content, I will report your attitude to an administrator. Thank you for your understanding.

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thijs Hendriks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Malden. 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.

Bobby Hassell
Hello, and thank you for adding inline sourcing to the stats table at Bobby Hassell. For information, there was no League One or Championship before 2004, and it looks like you've got the pre-2004 divisions one level too high: it's about 40 years since Mansfield were in the second tier. Also, Mr Hassell might not have appeared in the Football League Trophy in most of those seasons, but third- and fourth-tier clubs all did, so his "other" column when he was playing at those levels should really contain zeroes rather than dashes. Hope this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:30, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.


 * We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
 * In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
 * The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Speedy deletion nomination of DR Congo national under-21 football team


A tag has been placed on DR Congo national under-21 football team, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.  KJ  Discuss? 09:24, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

December 2014
Please do not add or change content, as you did to Kris Bright, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''

Please STOP adding statistics to pages when you know very well that the source you cite DOESN'T VERIFY the stats you're adding.'' Struway2 (talk) 13:34, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

 * Even worse is that Roy has used the same damn ref for both players! If you're drunk from New Year's partying, Roy, editing Wikipedia is not a good idea. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 00:49, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
 * But this is not the first time... he has improved a bit though I will give him that in terms of adding detail but I think we need to remember that wikipedia is not just about creating new articles, it is about improving these articles to give as much information as we can give. We can't just keep creating and creating without going back and improving the rest because then wikipedia is not serving its purpose. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 00:53, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I recommend you go the AN Discussion and put in an appeal to not be blocked then if you are going to start adding more. The vast majority are pretty much in support of the block so the sooner you do it the better your chances. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 11:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

RE: WP:NOTABILITY
If the coach has coached the senior women's national team in an official FIFA match then that person is notable. I am guessing you are referring to Esteban Becker who did manage a senior national team for women... thus he is notable. While I am here though, just wanted to clarify, the editors here think you are a good addition and that your volunteering very well, and you do follow WP:NFOOTY but the articles you create need to be a bit longer. Don't create for the sake or just create with one sentence and leave it. There is no rule against it really but it is kinda lazy. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 13:27, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

BLP Topic ban
 Per this discussion, as of now you are indefinitely prohibited from creating any new articles that are biographies of living persons. Failure to abide by this restriction will result in your account being blocked. You may appeal this decision at the administrator's noticeboard.

Please note that this only prevents you from creating new BLP articles.
