Refrain from bad language
Hey mate, listen, I've been on wiki for more than half a decade now and I have seen the worst this place has to offer. It is not nice, I can tell you that but please, try to refrain from bad language like calling a guy a prick and what not. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:05, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha, the age old question. You just got to deal with it man and try talking to the guy. If he still refuses to change then you just message someone at WP:Football and let everything take its course. Wikipedia is a place where as long as you're doing good things will turn out to be alright. Cheers man and keep up your good work. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 07:33, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Exactly. You are new. You'll get it man. Again, keep up the good work you are doing. Great to have you on board! --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 08:39, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Barnstar

 * Barnstars are for user appreciation from one user to another for the work they have put in. All in good fun. See WP:STAR, if you want to know more. Cheers! Coderzombie (talk) 17:11, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * To add on to User:Coderzombie, really good work mate. Your work on the Indian football pages, mainly with player pages, has not gone unnoticed. Keep it up... there are more stars where those came from. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 23:33, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Citation
Just a suggestion: Please use Template:Cite web for references rather than directly referencing, so the references are better organized and do not suffer from Link rot. Keep up the good work. Coderzombie (talk) 18:03, 31 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure man. Still trying to figure out the best practices involved. Let me see if I can find an example to use the cite-web thingy.


 * If you want to know how it's used, check out 2014–15 Bengaluru FC season page, or any other featured article for that matter. What it gives additional information about the link and is more useful to the reader. Cheers. Coderzombie (talk) 06:46, 11 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks and I'll start using the said page as a reference going forward. You have done some excellent work on that page man.The real AG (talk) 09:10, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Table dates
Hi, please remember to update the date above career stats tables. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:14, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out. I usually do it, but must have forgotten it a few times.The real AG (talk) 09:12, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Summary of the edits
Whenever you update any page, it'd be helpful if you write a small summary along with the edit, so it helps other editors understand the action you have taken. Cheers. Coderzombie (talk) 09:01, 10 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure. I sometimes go into pages to copy templates which I then edit for a new page. This is the reason why you keep seeing my name everywhere on the I-League player profile pages. The real AG (talk) 09:13, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

My appreciation for you!
Man, I have never had a chance to do regular updates of the I-League players before and now that you are here we are seeing updates every round. I really do appreciate your work man and I do not want you to think it is not noticed... again, great work... keep it up! :) --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 07:24, 12 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I have had some free time and I just quit smoking, so I guess this is my new addiction.The real AG (talk) 09:14, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha, hm, I wonder if wiki can stop one of my addictions? That is how it was for me before, would love to be there again. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 10:16, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Source for U-19 League?
I see you have updated goal scorers for U-19 games so far. That's great! But I couldn't find on official site. Source? Coderzombie (talk) 03:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * I went through the twitter accounts of all 4 of the clubs who were playing. Salgaocar as usual don't give a shite and haven't even mentioned their own team playing. The AIFF media didn't update their account either. Thankfully, there are a couple of very professional media teams at Pune, LFC-DSK who even gave updates on the AIFF game. I couldn't find the scorer for Salgaocar.The real AG (talk) 09:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * And that is okay as we've both done that in the past but be careful and mention this in the edit summary. Cheers. Also, please be on the lookout for newspaper sources. Pune FC's matches article was released the next day in a paper. http://indiansportsnews.com/football-news/35347-u19-i-league-pune-fc-defeat-dsk-shiavajians-4-2-in-opener --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure. I sometimes do the editing I want and then I realize I made a mistake so I go back in to rectify that mistake, only this second time I log in to edit, I forget to give a summary in the edit summary section.The real AG (talk) 17:25, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Sandesh Jhingan stats for United Sikkim
Hey mate. I understand what you mean but at the end of the day this is wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia and everything we do must be verified and as far as I know we do not know exactly how many games Sandesh Jhingan has played for United Sikkim in the 2nd Division so we can't put a number. However, you can mention in the United Sikkim section that he played in six of their final round games as we have a source for that. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that man. I understand the rules and how things are done here. But in all honesty, if that were the case and we can't put a number unless we are absolutely sure we have not missed even a single game, surely, pretty much all of the players in Indian I-League will have their stats section question? Finding information on something that happened two years ago from even the clubs' website is difficult, so I thought we should use all the referenced information we know to inform the public about statistics, interests in players, etc. In Jhingan's case, I know for a fact that at least one of the club's who showed an interest in him in January (a Danish club), used the information we provided on Wikipedia in a meeting at his club, and that he had played 21 games for United Sikkim certainly helped in him being offered a trial. I did similar editing with Jackichand Singh, Satiyasen Singh and Thoi Singh. Check them out and if you find the information ambiguous and unclear, remove it.The real AG (talk) 09:03, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right. A lot of Indian players will have their stats disputed now. It was not until the 2012–13 season that places like soccerway started to keep track of stats for the I-League so anything from 2011–12 and before is hard to track. Unfortunately it is just what we have to deal with. Yes, it probably helped him with the trial but I am sure what really helped was the fact that he did very well in the ISL, not with United Sikkim, one of the worst teams in I-League history. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 20:39, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Jackichand Singh's appearances
I know that there is some general disagreement on Jackichand's appearances, and since you've shown interest in the article it would probably be better to discuss this matter on [Talk:Jackichand Singh Jackichand's talk page] rather than constantly undo each other's edits. Thanks. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 14:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

July 2015
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pavel Čmovš, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 16:10, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Sources for the release?
Could you please add source for the release of Pawan, Gurtej etc on 2015–16 Bengaluru FC season? Coderzombie (talk) 08:53, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Another Indian Football Network release... nothing official. If you could find information on their reported 2 year deals from 2013 then that would work as there is nothing confirming extensions as of yet. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 23:28, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Unofficially I know that they have been released, but probably the only way to find out if when BFC updates their website next season. Coderzombie (talk) 07:32, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, let's do that guys; wait for the official release and change it then. -The real AG (talk) 17:35, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey
Hey man, first off, thanks for editing the player stats, really helps mate. Secondly, would you mind checking this AfD. I tried to tell the user to go read the rules but seems that is not exactly working. Cheers and happy holidays! --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:02, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, forgot something! I am planning to do a full revamp and editing run on a lot of I-League articles before the season starts next month. I will have time to do this after this week as I have finals but after I will have plenty of time. This will involve getting I-League related pages cleaned and updated, clubs updated and cleaned, their squads correct, player articles correct etc. Your help would be great and I will also ask Coderzombie as well. Cheers again. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:05, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Try and reason with a Kolkata-based fan? That will be a futile exercise I feel. From what I read there, your argument for deletion is sound, but the dude doesn't understand. Are you saying that another user getting involved there will help? I would be game to help clean out the I-League related stuff including all of those areas you mention, but I may well get busy over the next two weeks or so. The real AG (talk) 04:13, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I know, but I had to try anyway haha. I was more thinking you could vote "delete" or "keep" instead of dealing with him directly. That is fine on the I-League stuff. I think we will all be busy, I just want to make sure everything is sound. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 04:39, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Career stats tables
Hi there, thanks for expanding Riyad Mahrez to include the division, however please note that where possible, the bluelink on the season (i.e. 2015–16) should link to the club's season page and not the league's. GiantSnowman 12:51, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * H man, I didn't realize that! Looking through how things are done on the majority of the player profiles, it seems to point to a majority of them being referring to the season in the league (2014-15 Premier League as an example)!The real AG (talk) 12:54, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Please help defend SAFF articles for deletion
Hi The real AG, please help me defend the SAFF sub articles which are currently being considered for deletion. Many of these articles contain information that is useful to football in the SAFF region and Indian football, in my opinion these articles should remain on Wikipedia. You can join the discussion here although of course you should express your opinion, not mine. Thanks. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 02:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I apologize but I broke a wikipolicy of WP:CANVASSING in sending you this message. Please disregard this message. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 18:19, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Roberto Firmino, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. GiantSnowman 19:43, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am confused. I didn't make any test edits; the edits I made were merely stat updates for the 3rd round of the PL.The real AG (talk) 19:45, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Given how wrong they were, I thought it was a test. GiantSnowman 20:12, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Sandesh Jhingan
Hey mate, just want to clarify on Sandesh Jhingan and his infobox. The way sources were written, it was that Jhingan was with Kerala Blasters for the 2014 season but then signed for Sporting Goa after for the I-League. None of the sources, including an official ISL one, said that it was a loan to Sporting Goa but rather just him joining them till the end of the season. The next season, when he went to DSK, sources said it was a loan. Thus why the infobox is the way it is. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:34, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

India U17 stats
Hey, so how sure are we about these u17 stats? Are we sure random friendlies against club teams are not included? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 17:41, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The stats for the players only include matches against other National teams and NOT against clubs as I have been maintaining these. However, you will not find any sites with the players stats; I have been adding matches and goals to players whenever they are included in a NT match.
 * Fair enough haha. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:00, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
