Does this seem a right edit to you (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jos%C3%A9_Bosingwa&diff=980509286&oldid=978747445)? Second time i had to revert it. Unencyclopedical as it comes (could be a goof or a practical joke on his teammates, could be unintentional), seems to have no place here; if it does have, just say the word and i'll stop with my actions.

I noticed you'd been editing maps like 2019–20 National League#National League South adding in extra text, that had been carefully omitted to make the maps more readable. Now they are less readable, and there's all sorts of overlapping text. I'm wondering what the objective is, and if you'll be cleaning the text up to make it readable again?

Hi Matty, the project continues, and I'm now down to the last half-dozen or so second tier play-off articles to go. All the others are now either GA or FA. Next up I have 1996 and 1994 to do, and since Soccerbase records seem to start with the 1996/97 season, I come here, cap in hand, begging for the top scorers for each team in each of those playoffs, say the top two or three in each? I owe you a couple already, but if you could help, I'd be very much obliged. Cheers. The Rambling Man ( Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 12:32, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you reverted my addition of the office of ‘Deputy Leader of the Opposition’ in Angela Rayner’s article - I only added it as it’s saying she’s holding the office on her UK Parliament page: https://members.parliament.uk/member/4356/career - and that’s an official source.

Hi Mattythewhite, this is not serious, this is exactly what you had to remove, you could just add a source. Young children also know this, namely that Bergkamp won the 1998 FA Cup because he was Arsenal's most important player for the 1997-98 season in all competitions, including the FA Cup! He has 7 appearances (and 3 goals) from all 9 games for Arsenal in this tournament. He misses the final because he has a red card for the match with West Ham. Even now I saw that it is described in his wikipedia page :))) it also says that he won 4 FA Cup, but you removed exactly the one in 1998, where he had the most participations, compared with the other 3 FA Cup: 2002 FA Cup - 6 app. 3 goals, 2003 FA Cup - 4 app. 2 goals, 2005 FA Cup - 4 app. So add again the 1998 FA Cup to his honors! Btw he is 1.88m tall, you can also add in the individual awards that during the Premier League season 1998-99 he was a top assist provider in the Premier League with 13 assists.
Here are some sources: Excerpt from the article on the official website of Arsenal, where you can read that he won the 1998 FA Cup and received a medal for it: "And so it was that under the tutelage of Wenger, Bergkamp redefined football in England's top division. His textbook technique, physical prowess and second-nature for picking out the killer pass made him the ultimate symbol of fantasy football. Indeed when Arsenal usurped Manchester United as the country's best team in 1998, Bergkamp, too, succeeded Eric Cantona as the Premier League's brightest beacon of European excellence. That Double season Arsenal’s No 10 was outstanding and his reward at the end of the campaign was both major Player of the Year awards to go with his championship and FA Cup medals. ” https://www.arsenal.com/history/greatest-players-no-2.-dennis-bergkand https://www.arsenal.com/news/features/dennis-bergkamp

Hi, I did include a citation: Critchley, Mark (17 February 2017). "Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke denied entry to the United States". The Independent. Retrieved 7 December 2020. In this article there is an example of the misreporting (from Sky) and also a statement that it was not because of the Trump Ban bue due to the Obama administration 2016 law. There are more citations I could include, for example "Yorke's incident was unrelated to U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order temporarily barring citizens from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the country." from https://www.espn.co.uk/football/manchester-united/story/3063000/dwight-yorke-denied-travel-through-us-because-of-iranian-stamp-on-passport. The original page referenced an article in the Telegraph. If the Telegraph is a reliable source then surely so is the Independent? Can you please explain how I have not included a reliable source for my two statements than the ban was due to the 2016 Obama administration law, and that misreporting took place and claimed it was due to the Trump Ban?

Is there a platform where I can talk in real time? Sorry I'm still new to editing on Wikipedia. Also appreciate your help. Aright this is my situation. Today was the final day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, a golf tournament on the European Tour. I edited the following pages - Paul Casey and the 2021 European Tour just before Paul Casey hit his final putt to win the tournament ( So basically I updated the above pages maybe 2 mins before the outcome). But I only edited in the information when it was mathematically impossible for any other outcome to occur. And as you can see, my edits did not need any rectification later since they were the correct edits (they were bound to be correct since I only edited the info once the result was beyond any reasonable doubt). But wjemather accused me of violating the Wikipedia policies— Verifiability, No original research and What Wikipedia is not ( a crystal ball) simply because I edited in the information before the final putt rolled in. I find it incredulous that someone would nitpick about me updating the relevant pages with the correct information just because it happens to be a couple minutes prior. Am I in any violation? Thanks Klaysaurus ( talk) 17:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Matty, how's it going?
I really need your expert opinion on this one, because this has been going on for too long... Article: Capucho. I tried to phrase it to the best of my abilities because i think it's a fact worth pointing when Celtic or Rangers do not win anything in Scotland, they are the only two teams that have won anything in what? 20 years? I do not think it's POV, and please believe me, not trying to belittle Rangers or anything, not a Celtic fan, not a fan of any team for that matter.
Do you think it's POV, and it should be rephrased? I'll accommodate gladly. But we cannot have none of the other IP removing refs i add again and again (both mentioning in detail what a rocky season it was for both club and player), and that last summary (telling me " Big Jock Knew" amongst other things) really hit home, i am being accused of having a purpose other than that of improving the article(s). Seeing where they're coming from, i have already toned down the language.

Hi Matty. Just saying there is no way Joshua King is 180cm tall he is much taller than that. If you see clips that he played for Everton he’s about 6 ft 2. His original Bournemouth profile had listed him as 189cm tall but it was removed once he left for Everton. I think his profile in PL official site is incorrect. They had Calvert-Lewin listed as 176cm tall not so long ago and since they have updated the stats. So they have the same problem with King’s profile. Thanks.

Hi Matty, hope you're well? I'm heading both back in time a bit and down into the lower leagues now as I try to keep slogging through all the play-off final articles.

I'm currently looking at 1992 Football League Third Division play-off Final but with a view to doing all those around that time in all the leagues too!

Hi, I noticed you have accepted a version on Maradona claiming the man was of Italian ancestry contradicting literally every single reliable source from his home country, namely Argentina. I don't know why I cannot edit this article directly and it seems to require approval but I would appreciate if you restored the correct version which has reliable (Argentine) sources on his family genealogy and thus ancestry. This is a question of universal consensus and not even a matter of debate in Argentina. For many years there have been editors periodically pushing the view that Maradona was Italian (for reasons which are beyond me) and this issue seems to reappear periodically so it would be great if we remained aware of such blatant errors on the English language version of Wiki.

It's a BBC article confirming Manchester City won the FA Cup. How more reliable can you get. "The ref doesn't even mention his name" - since when does an match report list the entire playing squad of the team throughout the tournament. Every other Man City player who was in that squad has that reference for winning the 19-20 FA Cup. -- Calcium17 ( talk) 14:51, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi I was wondering why you removed some of the honours from De Bruynes page. I’ve seen the exact same honours on other players pages so I added them to his Ronaldj251 ( talk) 12:29, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Matty,
I’m sorry I’ve only just come across your response to my edit - I only made login to amend the part mentioning Andre’s family.
I am the ‘source’ as you put it. Whilst we like to keep our daughter, and her sister private - it was upsetting when Andre was attacked and his daughters were not acknowledged in any way publicly.
We don’t want their names to be public, more so to respect their privacy. But it should be known that Andre has two beautiful and smart little girls.

Seems to me an open-and-shut case of trying to enhance a player's bio, with wording like "remarkable", a "3-1 rout" (what the hell? Really?!), etc, etc. The international career "improvements" ended with ten lines full of matches where Mr. Oliveira DID NOT PLAY (!); for daring to revert this nonsense i was myself reverted, then warned in my talkpage. What's your intake on this (please note: i am now trying to salvage something from their "additions" - i.e. another one, they stated player was loaned to Paços Ferreira then bought outright by that club and later re-purchased by Porto. How many refs did the IP add to back that up? ZERO! I had to take care of that)? I think my last version was more accurate and concise, and if you happen to agree with me please revert back to that version. In the meantime, i am trying to show some respect to the IP and keep some of their sourced info, with the due adjustments.
P.S. My oh my, found out about this last week or so: the person who stalked me like crazy for months, has been blocked TEN times since they started working in the project (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Hippo43&diff=1006911097&oldid=1006863658), and i'm the one who (according to them, their own words) is full of myself! OK then...
Attentively, keep up the good work -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 23:47, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
Reinstated some, with sources. If you think more needs to be removed just say so, i'll accommodate. Doubt: since it's now established/sourced only one season at Paços was on loan, how do we separate the statistical chart below duly? -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 01:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Great teamwork, thanks! But one thing still missing, methinks: at Paços, the 2013/14 season is a loan, and the following campaign a permanent spell (subsequently, he was re-bought by Porto). -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 01:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
"Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Darlington Nagbe, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:15, 25 March 2021 (UTC) "
The heading as you reverted ignores Nagby's two years with Atlanta and his season in Columbus. As for citations, I linked to /info/en/?search=MLS_Cup_2018, and /info/en/?search=2019_Campeones_Cup where you can see Nagby on the game roster. Your revision makes no sense at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan m peterson ( talk • contribs) 21:25, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
sorry, but that's just stupid. his rostering for the game is sourced in the linked page. /info/en/?search=MLS_Cup_2018 - https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018/12/08/2018-mls-cup-lineups-larrys-mabiala-returns-portland-timbers, if this page needs a direct citation for every fact, then you need to delete his participation in the league from 2017 on as well as participation in those cups in the bottom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan m peterson ( talk • contribs) 21:37, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
You are wrong. The citation rule you are referring to is:"citation needed "for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations, anywhere in article space." No one is challenging the facts, or likely to since they're clear public record. I, and 70K other people, sat in the stands and watched those two games. You're being pendantic and incorrectly using the citation rule for unknown reasons. As for why NOT cite the link - the SAME EXACT FACTS appear elsewhere in THIS article uncited. I simply updated the intro to current day instead of ignoring the last 3 years of Nagby's career, details of which appear uncited lower in the article. If you'd like I can chew through the Nagby article and point out the several hundred facts that are also uncited. Birth date? Place of Birth? Height? Should I continue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathan m peterson ( talk • contribs) 16:26, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello. If you're sure that the correct spelling is Ngotty – I'm not suggesting you're wrong: I don't know – you might want to consider using a better source. Many apparently reliable sources: the LFP, UEFA, the Premier League, ENFA... use the apostrophe, and many others are inconsistent. I'm not convinced that the French equivalent of something like companycheck.co.uk would be decisive, even if it was considered WP:RS for name spelling anyway, which is doubtful, and not a violation of WP:BLPPRIMARY. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 10:25, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Can you please pitch in in this article (maybe it won't be needed, maybe the other person will give up)? I know this has been done several times in the past (in said page, mind you, not all over WP), but can't remember exactly who did it and when... Honours where the player did not appear once in the league/cup and did not have a single bench presence keep getting added, getting a bit tiresome.
Attentively, thanks in advance -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 21:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Just the fact he played in that 8-1 against SD Huesca grants him a medal, i'm on it now. Technical question now: even if a team wins by, let's say, 31-0 ( it has happened!), we are not to write, ever, stuff like "rout" (not encyclopedical, perhaps?)? -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 22:51, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
1 - at least in Portugal/Spain, yes (heck, some players have even taken the field in the last minute of the last league game (for example) to be eligible. On a very related note, in Miklós Fehér's article there is a newspaper article ( Público) that explains that the player, sadly died months before, was eligible for a 2004 Taça de Portugal Final winners' medal because he played in two previous rounds); 2 - very well put, sir! -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 22:58, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
"Bonus track": what i really fail to see as an honour is a play-off promotion (in Spain, as in England, a team can be promoted after finishing SIXTH in the regular season! How's that an accolade?), but out of respect for your work i won't even contest it (you did the same at Vicente Guaita back in the day, maybe there is a logic to it that i'm missing). -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 23:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Well, not "missing the logic" anymore ;) Thanks for explaining, got it. -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 23:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I just went to give a final warning at User talk:82.102.50.120 for yet again removing a reference from a page and found you already did so a couple of days ago. In which case, do you think it's time they had another rest from editing? cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 10:12, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
...again the honours! Can you please pitch in/revert at Sergi Roberto? Again, matches where player did not even make the bench reinstated, with the official website clearly inflating their players' accolades.
Perhaps when (if!) you revert you won't be called a vandal like i did, or perhaps not... Attentively -- 85.243.89.253 ( talk) 15:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Mattythewhite, I need your help with something, and you’re the only admin I can find. There is a user called Groton Herald making disruptive edits to Groton, Massachusetts in an attempt to make the town look better. They’re removing parts of the article they find disagreeable, such as the town’s segregated past. And the name, Groton Herald? Pure COI. If you could help me out, that would be great. Thanks, HelenDegenerate ( talk) 23:00, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello. Last season, when the Nat North was abandoned with a few games left, we both added notes to the opponents left unplayed.

Apologies if i seem to infer that in my reply, not my intention at all! It's just the current version is now that wrong user's, the one who calls other users "vandals". And also of course i'm not the one to tell you how to do your job, no sir.

Hi Matty. This is a trivial issue. I'm just bringing it your attention because of the relatively large diff here: if we want consecutive cells in tables bolded, "!!" should be used not "||". "||" works but "!!" is more correct. See Help:Table. I actually went around changing "!!" to "||" for a while before I heard about this. Kind regards, Robby.is.on ( talk) 11:08, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
Consecutive table header cells may be added on same line separated by double marks (!!); or start on new lines, each with its own single mark (!).Also, all examples of bolded cells are written with "!!".
