Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 02:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

USMA Players

 * I didn't intend to change their nationality - I must have copied the Fs template from a Tunisian club and forgot to update it to Algeria. It is correct now. Jogurney 05:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I now understand what I did - on the player articles I copied the infobox from a Tunisian player and forgot to update the NT to Algeria. Sorry about the confusion and thank you for your help. Jogurney 05:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries. Welcome to wikipedia - I'm fairly new myself and learning how to edit too. Best regards. Jogurney 05:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There was a ] missing from one of the wikilinks in the infobox. Every wikilink must have 2 at the beginning and 2  at the end. A http link uses only 1 [ and 1 ]. I added the missing ], and it seems to work now. Best regards and keep up the great work. Jogurney 03:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Re Abdelhamid Kermali
I saw the article you created on Kermali. Just wanted to point out (as I did in the discussion section of the page you created) that he did not refuse Zidane. That story is a myth and definitely not true. Zidane never tried out for the Algerian team and was never contacted by the team either. I can find you links to confirm this if you want. So please change the info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TonyStarks (talk • contribs) 01:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
 * I am not sure whether it is true or false but i have a reference . If you have the reference to the interviews please bring it. Cheers -- Szvest  [[Image:Wikiquote-logo.svg|10px]] Wiki me up ®  15:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Player pictures
Hello Tony. I'm not certain, but almost any picture of a living person seems to get removed as a copyright violation. I think the only acceptable ones a "promotional photos" that are released to the media. You might trying asking on the Talk page for WikiProject Football, since there are people there who will know for sure. Best regards. Jogurney 20:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Karim Soltani, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. bd_ 21:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Flagging Sat (rapper) for further review
Hello, … I recently encountered the article about Sat (rapper) and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I am considering tagging  for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. — triwbe (talk) 20:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Fadel Brahami
A tag has been placed on Fadel Brahami requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 11:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Facinet Bangoura
Hi TonyStarks. I am trying to clean up and add references to several articles about Algerian footballers, and could not find any sources for this article you created (even DZ Foot has no entry for him). Do you have any sources for him? Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 14:57, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Abdennour Cherif El Ouazzani
Hello. Noticed your edit summary clarifying Algerian money. It bothered me at the time that a player in that league would have such a high transfer fee, but never considered they might express amounts in fractions of the dinar... Good job nobody pointed it out at the time of the AfD, as I'm sure it was the fee and not the media coverage that tipped the scales towards keep :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case I should thank you for making the mistake because it ultimately saved the article :D .. but yeah money in Algeria is usually expressed in centimes (cents) unless explicitly stated. Take care and keep up the good work.TonyStarks (talk) 17:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

RE: Saphir Taider Origin
I'll try to look up a proper source for it. Thanks for the response. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The only source I could find was the one you provided and the parent link to that article is dead and, also, the link only discusses Nabil's paternal and maternal status. We'd be speculating on Saphir because they may not have the same father (or mother). – Joao10Siamun (talk) 05:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Algerian Championnat National Amateur
Hey, I was just wondering if you could have a look at the article (Championnat National de Football Amateur) I created in regards to the amateur championship in Algeria. Maybe you could add something. Thanks Wbel (talk) 18:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for creating the article, I've been meaning to do it just never got around to it. First of all, I think we should rename it to "Championnat National Amateur" which is the name that is mostly used in the press and everywhere I've seen. I also think it has a better ring to it than the current title. As for the content itself, I'll try to add some details when I get the chance to. I'm currently trying to create articles on past seasons of the Algerian Cup.TonyStarks (talk) 03:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * hey, I'm not to sure on the renaming to "Championnat National Amateur" as I got the current name from the lnf website. I'm currently trying to create pages for the clubs, which I'm finding quite difficult as there's not much information out there regarding these clubs. Do you know any good sources? Wbel (talk) 00:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Category:Expatriates in Algeria
Er?

Do you know something I don't know? Ladnadruk (talk) 19:19, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * He spent 4 years in Algeria, as his article indiciates : "Between 1980 and 1984 he was in charge of the (then forming) Faculty of Physics at the University of Sétif in Algiers." Surely that warrants him to be included as an Expatriate in Algeria. TonyStarks (talk) 07:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Renaming Clubs
Thank you for your message. i think you refere to the MC Alger renaming. I agree and i understand about the procedure that we must do to change the name of any team or any articles. I will try to do that on future but I don't understand why we put Alger. the name of the club refere to the capital of Algeria wich the name is Algiers, Alger is the francophone name not in english. If you agree I will try to change again the name and to explain why i do that in the Edit page of the articles. Greetings. --Faycal.09 (talk) 11:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If all english media use MC Alger name so that's all right. Saha aidek to you and your family, thank you. --Faycal.09 (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's me too, the logo of the club used in article page is old, cause MC Alger now mean Mouloudia Club d'Alger not Mouloudia Chaabia d'Alger, and there is a new logo about that. Greetings. --Faycal.09 (talk) 12:00, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed rename of Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1
Hey Tony, according to FIFA the league is called Championnat National de Première Division. Do you think I should rename the title of the league? Wbel (talk) 15:30, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Personally, I would keep it as it is since I've seen a bunch of different names used for it. When the league started, the league used the current name (Ligue Professionnelle 1) that's why I created it under that name. If we find enough sources showing otherwise we can always change it. That's my opinion anyway. TonyStarks (talk) 09:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay Wbel (talk) 16:45, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Jordan Faucher
He may possibly have citizenship or he may not. There isn't a clear reference. All this reference says is that he wants to play for Algeria. If he goes on to make an appearance at any level for the country than that proves he has citizenship, but at this point, there is no acute proof unless you find a solid ref. In a similar situation, Ryad Boudebouz wanted to represent Algeria since October 2009, yet it took months for the player to get his citizenship. Later. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Zohra Ayachi
I honestly don't know. I remember reading she had family who hails from the island on Montpellier Maville round the time I created the article. On a lot of discussion boards, it is claimed she is of Moroccan descent. At this point, it'd be best to just leave it as "French footballer". — Joao10Siamun (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Noui Laifa
Around the time I created the article, playing in a cup match granted a player notability. Recently though, a player playing in a cup match while not playing for a professional team has become the subject of debate. I don't know if it has been resolved, so I just left it at that. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 17:40, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Ziri Hammar
I found the source stating he played for JSM Béjaïa from here. I found he was born in Akbou from here and here. Even though the sources are not legitimate, I found similar pages that stated he was also born in Akbou and seeing as how Akbou is in the Béjaïa Province and JSM Béjaïa is in the same province, I kind of tied two and two together. Having found out he grew up in Paris, I probably jumped the gun on his youth years. He probably began his career at JSM Béjaïa, moved to Paris and played for clubs in the region before being spotted by Nancy. I'll let you handle it. LOL. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

CAF Olympic Qualifiers
I think we're going to have to disagree on the look of the article, I updated page to match other competitions such as UEFA Champions League were ties are separated by the leg. We may have to go to WP:Football to see what others think. Also, I've modified the Qualifying Tournament page so that we don't have to update both pages with qualifying games results. FIFA.com describes the Group stage as "final tournament" so it makes sense to distinguish between them in my opinion.TheBigJagielka (talk) 17:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

A question
Hello Tony. I just wanted to ask you something regarding some African players. I mean, I know that being Algerian doesn´t mean you know everything regarding Africa, but I hope this one you´ll have maybe some idea. My problem, and seems that it is not only mine, but rather universal, that sources give mixed information about 2 Malian players: Mohamed Kalilou Traoré and Mohamed Traoré. The thing is that I don´t know who did, and how many matches, had they (or only one of them) played for Mali national team. National-Football-Teams thinks that Kalilou played all 3 of them, while his article say zero NT matches, and Mohamed Traoré only 1... Transfermarkt say 2 for Kalilou, and 1 for Mohamed Traoré. While Playerhistory is consistent with the article saying Kalilou has played zero matches for Mali, but strangely puts a french club before his spell in Croatia with Istra, and ignores the existence of the other Mohamed Traoré. Any idea who played how many matches for Mali? :) FkpCascais (talk) 05:23, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I just came now, and in the meantime I haven´t find anything. It is nothing urgent, so don´t warry. The problem is that both have same name, similar age, and both started being called up for Mali recently, so most general sites simply confuse them... Poke me if you find something, cause I doubt that the articles as are now are correct about their nt stats, and we could correct them. Many thanks! FkpCascais (talk) 19:38, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

VERY weak and unreputable source for your change to the article. No name for the author, it's recycling the article from the official Millwall site which only says he signed permanently. You've used this as a source because of the ambiguous wording, which could also mean his loan ended as soon as he signed the permanent deal. You seem intent on having him on loan, even tho he's signed for Millwall permanently. It'd be pedantic of me to change it back. So, remember to reverse your edits next Saturday to the correct status.

Hi there TONY, VASCO here,

yes i understand and believe you 100%, i did not imply otherwise. However, having just "HUSSEIN DEY" in the box shows the reader of the page he played for NA HUSSEIN DEY, no one is going to mistake "HUSSEIN DEY" for A.C. Milan or FC Schalke 04, etc. Infobox should be compressed, giving a gist of the clubs the player appeared for.

Edit Summary Request
Thank you for your message and your advice so valuable, it's true you're right, I think I have not put comments on my changes and I must make it. I will try in future to comment on each change as soon as I can. As for nicknames team of Algeria, as you know, Algeria is an Arab-Berber and not a French country. And in this country there is an official language is Arabic, and a national language is Berber. Then it was wise to put the names or nicknames to Arabic and put next to the English translation since it is in English wikipedia. I think you can understand. Sincerely and thank you for your message. --Faycal.09 (talk) 15:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes it is true, half of the press in Algeria is in French language, the French is part of heritage of Algeria and it is a truth. I do not oppose to add the French word "fennec" in the article, you can add it if you want. I just promoted the Arabic language because it is the country's official language. Greetings. --Faycal.09 (talk) 01:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry if my english is not good, cause generaly i speak arabic and french. In my last message I meant no problem if we add french, I just preferred arab language because it is the country's official language and also because we are arabs and berbers not french even if 50% of Algerian press is in french. but there is no problem for me if we add (Arabic, English, French) in the article.
 * Regarding the addition of berber, I would be very happy if we could add that, only it would be complicated because as you may know the berber is a national language but not official and there is no media (press) Berbers in Algeria. In addition there are many Berber dialects or languages (Kabyle, Shawi, Tamasheq, Riffi in western Algeria, Gnawi in south) that are written differently which makes it all impossible. Take a care. --Faycal.09 (talk) 11:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank u for your message. In fact, I was thinking about the possibility to put foreign players apart. So they will not be in the chapter of the notable players but in a new foreign players chapter. Greetings. --Faycal.09 (talk) 15:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course I agreed that they are not notable players dear freind, however, I checked partially your information about the existence of Chapter foreign players and i think you're right, but i don't think it's an obligation in Wikipedia, however on first i will remove it and i will observe if it will be a new changes about that.

Hello Tonystarks! please take a look at Karim Ziani's arabic page. something peculiar's going on there: looks like his full name and his father's native town are being constantly censured :) do you know how to fix this? and by the way, are you willing to contribute in arabic? keep up the good work :) schopfen 13:43, 29 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prristine (talk • contribs)

FIFA eligibility rules
Thanks for your helpful comments on the above; the article section has now been amended accordingly.

By the way, I'm an Aberdeen fan and I saw on a messageboard that you had posted some interesting info on our new signing Mohamed Chalali, who sounds like a good find. He is expected to feature at Rangers on Sunday, its coming up to 20 years(!) since we last won at Ibrox so hope he does something special on his league debut! Deserter 1 09:37, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I'm looking forward to seeing what he's capable of. One of my favourite players was the late Hicham Zerouali, and Chalali sounds like he plays in a similar style (no pressure!). Deserter 1 10:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

players names in arabic
hey, I was just wondering why all the Algerian players/clubs have their names translated in Arabic in all most every article. Do you really think this is relevant? I'm sure anyone wanting to know the players/clubs names in Arabic can find out by visiting the Arabic wiki or use google translator or other alternatives. Wbel (talk) 20:52, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Questions
Hi Tony, sorry to bother you with this, and it is nothing urgent, but seems to me that you may be the person who may help me over a Libyan player. He was signed this summer by FK Jagodina (Serbian SuperLiga), he is Libyan, born 1992. Now, my doubt begins with his name. In the club official website he is prsented as [http://www.fkjagodina.org.rs/3163/mohamed-elmonir-kh-abdussalam/ MOHAMED ELMONIR KH. ABDUSSALAM]. I remember a friend of mine this summer informed me about him while he was on trials and presented him as Mohammed Abdusalam Elmonir, as if Mohammed and Abdusalam were his names, and Elmonir, his surname. Now, all this spelling doubts make me difficult to find anything on him. He is basically a reserve of the reserves in the club, and hasn´t played an official match yet, so it was only transfermarkt who made him a page, Mohammed Elmonir Abdussalam whith his name spelling being the one they copied from the Jagodina official page. Personally, I notecced that Elmonir is not a Libyan name or surname because has no google hits. My issue is, should his name be spelled that way? Is it El-Monir, Al-Monir, Elmouneer or Al-Mouneer? Is it Mohamed, Mohammed or Mohammad? Is it Abdussalam, Abdoul Salam, Abdulsalam? What about the Kh., and clues? And to finish, do you have any clue which player may be the one we are talking about? He is a left midfielder or winger, as describer in his club page, born 8 April 1992... FkpCascais (talk) 04:02, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it is nothing urgent. With time will possibly pop-up more info on him. As there are not many Libyan players abroad, I thought this was interesting, and being 19 years old he may certainly played somewhere as senior already. I noteced your link for the Ittihad squad, but it may not be him, as he played in several friendlies with Jagodina during August and September... My question also was if you have any clues about which parts of his name are actually names, and which surnames? For instance, I shortened his name in the List of foreign footballers in top leagues of former Yugoslavia to Abdussalam Elmonir, but I´m not sure if I did well... FkpCascais (talk) 04:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem at all. I knew the case was difficult. Many, many thanks Tony! FkpCascais (talk) 06:06, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Rafik Halliche re-visited
Hi there TONY, VASCO here,

I give up trying to see the logic of the approach in this footballer's infobox, it's like that WP:KARLSRUHER nonsense, you have to have 1. FC Kaiserslautern written in full in the box the see a player plays for Kaiserslautern, either i am too smart or too dumb but this goes way over my head...But why are S.L. Benfica and C.D. Nacional compressed?

Don't worry, i'll leave his article - at least the box - in peace, i respect your work tremendously, am not going to start an edit war over this. Attentively, happy week from Portugal - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 23:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Algeria national team stats
sorry the numbers changed about capes do not especially for match against clubs. Although this table includes figures with the match against clubs. I think that all the table should be revised or it must include all matches to everybody? 2nd the players that I added caps are not especially for MC Oran. 3rd, it's important to make Lakhdar Belloumi because he have more then 100 caps only against national teams and 147 caps if we includ matchs against clubs. --Faycal.09 (talk) 09:20, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Question re: Omar Betrouni
Hi Tony. I have a question about the former player Omar Betrouni. I just started his article and noticed that some sources report his birthdate as 9 January and others report 3 November (both use the year 1949). Do you know which is correct?

Deletion
In the future, it would be appreciated if you gave editors a heads up on their talk page if you are requesting the deletion of an article. In regards to Bradden Inman, it was actually brought up over at WP:FOOTY before recreation. An admin was asked to review it and made the move. That makes three editors who had agreed that it met the GNG. I would have liked to explain that at the discussion but was unaware it was ongoing.Cptnono (talk) 03:58, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it too much. I am more peeved that you nominated something for deletion that met GNG. The deletion went through. So be more careful so that when people disagree with you they can participate. An article is now deleted even though GNG and desalting was considered. Try harder to look out for fellow editors. But zero hard feelings since it is a borderline case (I am prone to being wrong). It will be recreated within a year so I don't mind spending time on it. Cptnono (talk) 07:18, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello. It isn't just Djebbour, it's Olympiakos in general, there are a few determined anons who don't want to understand the idea of league games only in the infobox or the idea of stats being in some way related to published sources... Or, assuming good faith, maybe genuinely don't understand English. is currently blocked for a week, so that'll be one less, at least until he finds a new IP address. I've added a Soccerway link to source the Olympiakos and AEK rows in Djebbour's stats, and a Greek League ONLY note.
