User talk:Will.I.Win

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! clpo13(talk) 18:36, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Soccer vs association football
Please consider reading WP:ENGVAR (especially the MOS:RETAIN section) before unilaterally changing all mentions of "soccer" to "association football". In some varieties of English, such as American and Canadian, "soccer" is preferred. In others, such as Australian, Ireland, and New Zealand, "soccer" is acceptable and should remain if the article consistently uses it. In fact, in some cases, your changes don't make any sense. This change, for instance, is unnecessary since the very name of the league contains the word "soccer". See also Names for association football. clpo13(talk) 18:39, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

In addition, don't blindly change mentions or else you end up with messing up categories or mentions of American soccer (not football), such as here. clpo13(talk) 18:52, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm beginning to wonder if you're even reading these messages. Another of your edits changed "soccer" to "football" in a section on Canadian sports. Canadian English prefers the word "soccer". If you remain uncommunicative and continue unnecessarily changing words, I will seek administrator intervention. clpo13(talk) 05:58, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello there Will I Win : can you please see some of the guidelines about regional variations in meaning before unilaterally changing all mentions of "soccer" to "association football" on pages where "soccer" is an acceptible name, and has been allowed to remain in this format by editors over a long period of time.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at W-League (Australia). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. ''Also at Futsal. Please consider using edit summaries or the article talk page to communicate with other editors.'' clpo13(talk) 19:33, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at W-League (Australia). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. clpo13(talk) 21:20, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. clpo13(talk) 05:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

UniMás edit
Hey, just wanted to let you know I undid your edit on UniMás. Because UniMás is an American station, the correct term to use is "soccer" not "football". Typically, in the context of American topics, the term "football" means American football rather than association football, and instead "soccer" is used to talk about association football.

Speedy deletion nomination of Harry Hesketh


A tag has been placed on Harry Hesketh 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 a person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about 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 "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.
