Live updates
Hi.

Please do not update statistics or scores while a match is in progress. Instead, wait until the match has finished before updating. At WikiProject Football there is a consensus not to add live scores and also a consensus not to update any statistics while a match is in progress. Without live updates it is easier to avoid duplicate information and errors from being published on the article.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237&#160;(talk) 17:19, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Zlatan Ibrahimović. Your edits have been reverted or removed. Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. GiantSnowman 21:42, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Nuvola apps important.svg Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Adam Lallana, you may be blocked from editing. GiantSnowman 21:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Stop hand nuvola.svg You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Haris Seferović. GiantSnowman 08:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

To explain further - please ensure that all edits are fully explained, and that you use reliable sources to verify changes - this is especially important about living people. Please also do not update stats while games are still being played. If you have any questions please ask. GiantSnowman 11:45, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi GiantSnowman, thankyou for pointing out the above for me. I certainly have no intention of causing disruptive edits, I do get carried away with editing immediately after a game has ended. With the Haris Seferovic page i messed up the edit but im sure people could see what i was intending as its now been corrected. Wardgattitriology (talk) 13:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Like I said, if you provide an edit summary explaining your edit, as well as a source, then there can be no confusion. Again, If you need any help then please give me a shout. GiantSnowman 15:58, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi GiantSnowman, I noticed that the content for the Career Statistics was removed for Michy Batshuayi. Could you explain why so I don't make the same mistake again? Wardgattitriology (talk) 12:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it was unsourced, as I stated in my edit summary. GiantSnowman 12:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Was this source used? It's already linked in the article, but it should still be mentioned in the edit summary (somehow). --Leyo 13:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please be more careful with your stats edits
Hello. Thank you for trying to keep footballer stats up to date, but you really do need to take more care over your edits. I undid your edit at Dejan Lovren, because you gave him 33 rather than the correct 35 Liverpool appearances and set the timestamp to a point during his last game, despite doing the update some hours afterwards. Now today you've given Olcan Adın 34 rather than the correct 36 appearances, and Bilal Kısa the correct 7/2, but as of 29 October. Those edits weren't done in a rush immediately after the end of a game. Thank you for listening. Struway2 (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to come back here again, but it really is becoming a problem. The point is, not updating the stats at all is better than missing bits out, not checking the sources, or not updating the as-of date to match the stats. This is an encyclopedia, so we need to get it right. How to update infobox stats is:
 * wait for the game to finish;
 * don't just add 1 (or however many games he's played since the date of last update) to the existing figure: many people don't update the timestamp correctly, as you're well aware;
 * check the source for the player's stats: if it's already up to date for the game just ended, then use the figures from the source, if it hasn't updated yet, then it's safe to add 1 to the appropriate figure from the source;
 * set the timestamp, which is the club-update or pcupdate parameter, to a date or a date/time unambiguously after the last match included in the stats. The easy way to do it is to replace the contents of the parameter with five tilde characters, which the system will automatially convert to the current date and time: so copy-and-paste club-update over the existing club-update row.
 * Updating the career stats table is similar. Don't do it in mid-game, and don't use a match-date as the date of update unless you're including stats for that day's match. Check the source to be sure you're including matches in all competitions up to and including the date of update.
 * Please don't ignore this. Struway2 (talk) 09:39, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

December 2015
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Gary Cahill. ''

You edited six pages last night:


 * at Daniel Sturridge, you set the stats table as-of date to just December (I accept that could have been a typo);
 * at Divock Origi, you set the stats table as-of date to 2 December, despite the row not including the subject's last PL game;
 * at Jürgen Klopp, you updated the managerial stats despite someone having already done so;
 * and at Gary Cahill, with your first edit, you set the infobox stats to 110/6, which would have been correct as of the existing datestamp, but you also changed the datestamp to a date/time at which 110/6 was incorrect; then with your second edit, you updated this season's PL and European stats to their correct values as of now, but left out the domestic cup appearances and set the as-of date to before his last PL game...

I can't tell from here if you're being deliberately disruptive or if there's a competence issue, but it has to stop.

Thank you for listening.'' Struway2 (talk) 10:17, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

People are not updating the 'pc' when editing the numbers correctly. I think it's clear i'm not being deliberately disruptive. Just here to help contribute as everyone else but there are other incompetent users not editing properly. Wardgattitriology (talk) 14:47, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid the fact that other people aren't doing it right isn't a reason for you to do the same. Most of the articles you edit include sources for the player's stats. If you check them before making changes to an article, then you'd know what the player's correct figures were and could update the page correctly yourself. The procedure to follow is outlined above. Struway2 (talk) 16:11, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Wardgattitriology I know (hope) you aren't being deliberately disruptive, however as suggests competence is required. If you cannot edit correctly even if you are trying your hardest then you should not edit at all. I suggest you take more care and time with your edits. GiantSnowman 12:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Stats in football players' infoboxes and update of career stats
Hi.

When you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of when the stats are correct. This is done by updating pcupdate (or club-update) parameter when updating club appearances and goals, or ntupdate (or nationalteam-update) when updating national team appearances and goals. The easiest way to do this is to use five tildes, which automatically converts to the current time. For example club-update.

When you update the career statistics please remember that you should also update that timestamp as well to a time when the stats are correct. This is done by manually updating the date above or below the statistics table. By doing this we show when the stats were last updated and it prevents other editors from accidentally updating the stats again.

This is done to show other editors when the stats were last updated and prevent them from accidentally updating the stats again, and also it shows readers that it has been updated.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. <i style="font-family:Sans-serif"><b style="color:blue">Qed</b><b style="color:red">237</b>&#160;<b style="color:green">(talk)</b></i> 11:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
