Hi

December 2012
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to 2012–13 Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. season does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Blethering  Scot  23:32, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Please start using edit summaries, its really important so people understand what you are doing. Blethering  Scot  12:23, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to 2012–13 Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. season, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. ''The reason for the message is you twice removed brackets etc from the transfer wikitable on aforementioned page which caused errors. Lastly tidying as you call it is called piping.

As per guidelines we use the country he has represented at international level, this is only Northern Ireland, he has never played for anyone else and therefore it is incorrect to use the Irish flag. We should only change the flag when he has played for someone else. Murry1975 (talk) 18:37, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

I saw you did not understand why Czech Republic is eliminated. That is because even if they come in second place they are guaranteed to be the worst runner-up and therefore not playing in the Play-off. QED 237  (talk)  21:51, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Minor edits
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. --John (talk) 21:26, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Junior Cup finals
Just a note to say thanks for improving the Cup final list and table additions. Sorry about the runners up totals, obviously I thought it was correct but to be honest I was doing it on the sly in work and didn't have time to check my total against the number of finals - should have done so later tho. And I thought I had done the correct dashes (and entered all the scores!!) but obviously missed that too.

The display in two columns doesn't look much better on my phone, have to say, but hopefully displays better on a monitor and definitely worth a try, I agree the original way was untidy and overly long.

Cheers again and sorry it was necessary to fix so much (and thanks for keeping the edit summaries polite, some scorn in my direction would definitely have been merited!) Crowsus (talk) 12:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Of course you're not encroaching, I made some additions but there were some oversights (quite a lot!) and you fixed them, that's the name of the game. Suppose you could rearrange the table, whatever you think, but I changed the type to sortable so it would be easy for people to look at the different lists anyway.

Help me!
Please help me with... I have tried to include a new team in the Template at the bottom of this page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Caledonian_Football_League

The Edit button on the Template 'reflects' that the team I added, Bunillidh Thistle, are included in the list of teams, but it doesn't seem to show-up? I'm Confused!

Woodlandscaley (talk) 14:09, 26 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Works for me. Sometimes there's a cache issue when you edit a template: The template itself is updated, but the artile it's used on still shows a cached version that doesn't yet include the change to the template. In such cases you can either wait until the cache is updated automatically or manually purge the cache. Huon (talk) 19:23, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Navboxes and categories
Hello, you may have noticed me reverting some recent changes to Highland League team articles that you made, so I just wanted to explain my reasons. Firstly, regarding navboxes at the end of articles: these are designed to hep navigation between the articles included in the navbox, and should only be placed on those articles, and not on all related articles. So, the Template:Football in Scotland navbox, which links to more general articles and doesn't include individual clubs, doesn't belong on individual club articles. Secondly, regarding categories, articles don't generally need to be placed in every possible category on the tree, but just on the most specific ones. For example, articles placed into Category:Highland Football League teams don't need to be in Category:Highland Football League as well, as the club category is a subcategory of the more general one. I hope this is of some help. Jellyman (talk) 12:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Abraham A. Manievich, Polina Astakhova, Ivan Biakov, Igor Nagayev, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Bublik, Yuri Kondratyuk, Roman Miroshnichenko, Viktor Chanov, Dimitri Tiomkin and many other pages show that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:21, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

UEFA Super Cup
The Super Cup edits are made are in light of FIFA and UEFA recognition of member state successors and records belonging to contemporary leagues. The corrections were made also to be culturally aware and sensitive of post-Cold War politics in which many civilians disapprove of the past totalitarian legacies of the Cold War. Having Soviet and COld War era flags would not be a display of cultural competence and ignores the actuality of the recognition by FIFA of member state recognitions of honors and achievements.

UEFA Super Cup
The titles held by Kiev during the Soviet era should be counted in the Ukraine column since Dynamo Kiev is a Ukrainian club. However, we can add a footnote at the end to state that those finals were contested in the Soviet Era. Since the USSR is defunct and recognized by FIFA as such, we should respect it and make note.

Snooker Masters Qualifying
Hi I don't really know if you are up to speed with Snooker. The World Seniors hold qualifying events each season where the winner gets a place at the main event at one of their signature tournaments. The Seniors Masters always has a Qualifying event, it was done differently this year due to covid. They bunched everything in together which was called Seniors QSchool. The UK Seniors received 4 places, the World Seniors Championship received two places. That is why they had no final and were not included. However the Seniors Masters had a straight run competition with a final. So can you add the win back to Darren Morgan's page ?. Regards. The way they describe QSchool is not like the QSchool on the main tour ok 92.251.209.218 (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Scottish cup
Can you explain how adding in correct info counts as me vandalising a page? I am new to editing and only have done a few but I do try put the correct info. Other cups from different associations have tiers in brackets for teams. Now that Scotland has a connected league system for a lot of the smaller teams, except some juniors. I spent a lot of time checking my sources to get the correct numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alb.fts (talk • contribs) 00:58, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reply and clearing things up. Not sure what sort of stuff I can edit without a discussion but I can check in future if doing changes like that. Anyway the info is there if they decide to use or not. I know the leagues are listed at top of each round but with many of the leagues just being added to the pyramid, people may not be aware of the level of said team. I think it better shows off a surprise when you see e.g t6 team win vs higher one without having to refer to the leagues. Just my thoughts on it happy editing :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alb.fts (talk • contribs) 15:01, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Dinamo Zagreb,Hajduk Split,Red Star Belgrade,Partizan...
This is all teams from SFR Yugoslavia from 1945-1992 and after 1992 from Croatia and Serbia. You cant put flag of Croatia for Hajduk or Dinamo from 1984 or 1956 etc. That is incorrect. On Uefa cup or Champions League from 1991 or 1979 for Red Star Belgrade all put flag of Yugoslavia and delete if i put flag of Serbia. All results from 1945 to 1992 are Yugoslavia and then from 1992 are 6 different countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VucoKralj (talk • contribs) 21:49, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

You have to explain exactly why and according to what law you deleted my edit? Let your reason be clear. Also, your tone is not appropriate. Sabotage means destruction and wrong information.
