Hi Matty,
This is Eni Aluko. My assistant was tasked with making edits to ny wikipedia account given there are disputed facts, lies and negative bias throughout my Wikipedia account. You are clearly responsible for many of those edits and will be reported if it persists.
Thanks

Hi Matt
Can you please explain why you have reverted my change on this players honours when I have now sourced the BBC article showing his participation in that years trophy. This was already shown on this page by the appearance list. I know you don't particularly appreciate transfermarkt but this also shows Rio Ferdinand as a winner of the 2009–10 Football League Cup.

Hi Matt
Okay A) i wrote it it the wrong place; apologies. Even if I had written it in the right place place would you disregard it due to your Point B)?
Point B) Here is Rios's good friend Jermaine Defoe being giving a winners medal when he didn't play the final for Spurs was in fact then a Portsmouth player but having played in earlier rounds was awarded a medal. Rio played in a game as well as being in other matchday squads for that years cup.

Can i enquire you for the reason of why you removed the whole "Records" section in the aforementioned article? I saw no problem with it whatsoever. So am i missing here something? P.S. If you have 100% faith in your edit and think that it is appropriate then please spread uniformity by checking out Iker Casillas.

Hi Matt I made edits to Michael Timlin's page after speaking to him and also looking up the information and then providing references for them in the page so I'm not sure why you've removed them. They are all correct because Michael himself asked me to make them changes. I'm no expert on here so maybe I've not done the references properly, nevertheless they were done and so there's no reason why they shouldn't be allowed.

Hi Mattythewhite,
I have received a message from you regarding a recent edit about a footballer(?) - Bobby someone or other - whom I've never heard of. I haven't made any such edit and am wondering whether my profile has been hacked. This is not the first message I have had along these lines. A few months ago I received a message threatening to block me because of vandalism which had nothing to do with me. I'm sorry you have been inconvenienced but I assure you I was not involved

Hey there, I saw you edit my talk page the other day. On Timo Werner I edited the box on the right hand side of the screen that shows what club he is at. (The box saying "Senior Club"). As Werner recently moved to Chelsea I updated his club. Here is my source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53092225 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/timo-werner/profil/spieler/170527 . Both seem to be reliable sources so take your pick. However, I do not know how to add a reference to the box as typically there is no reference sign for other examples. If you could update it for me, it would be great and then just reply to tell me how you did it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haris920 ( talk • contribs) 23:17, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Matty
I was rather surprised by the non-standard reason you gave for removing the sentence that I added regarding Brendan Rodgers' transfers at Liverpool. I recognise that Wikipedia does not "need" any more football-related information, but that does not seem to be a reason for removing it.
Was the problem that you are not interested in a manager's transfers? Or that I omitted some of the 33? I notice that in the section I edited, there are references to a well-chosen selection of games but not all of them.
This is not the first time that you have removed an edit of mine even though the edit was correct. Have I done something to offend you? I may as well stop editing if you are targetting me.

Hi,I wrote that edit as I know him. he is my teammate. I am a Burnley player,so I knew that information.

I noticed you were very quick to discredit my edit on Paul Scholes. Rather than help find references you just deleted my edit (which you could have easily done as your references for Steven Gerrard also apply to Scholes). I have now provided citations which some of which are the same websites you used for your citations on Steven Gerrard so if you delete my edit now it is blatant bias. Looking at your edits on Steven Gerrard you have stated that he is considered to be one of the greatest midfielders 'of all time'. The website you used to provide evidence also states that Paul Scholes is also considered one of the greatest of all time. May I state on Paul Scholes' article that he is considered one of the best of all time? If your answer is no, then you should remove that part from Steven Gerrard's article. Goofdawg ( talk) 10:15, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Edit: Having read your response I have realised that I was wrong (I assumed you wrote the article). I apologise for this. However, I still think whoever wrote the part of Steven Gerrard's article where it states he is one of the greatest midfielders 'of all time' needs reviewing as the evidence provided isn't sufficient enough to be making such a bold claim. Thank you Goofdawg ( talk) 11:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC) On the other hand, there are better ways to go about citation issues than to simply delete my edit:See WP:PRESERVE Goofdawg ( talk) 11:51, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello there,
so, we have another name/nickname compound, as Diogo Jota and many many others, would very much like to know the reasoning behind this. Fair enough, won't touch article again in that department and go against what it seems to be a consensus (my first summary could also have been less aggressive, and for that i apologise), if indeed there is/was one; i'm pretty confident these naming conventions stem from the idiotic approach 99,99999999999999% of the Portuguese broadcasters engage in, leaving us with stuff like "Pedro Mantorras", "Pedro Pauleta", "Nuno Capucho", etc, etc and thus "misleading the rest of the world" (so to speak).

Hello Matty,
Wondering why you struck my para on Bamford there on 30th June:
<<In Leeds' first home game on 27 June, following the break necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, Bamford scored the 10th-minute opener in the team's 3-0 defeat of then-4th-placed Fulham, maintaining Leeds' position at the top of the Championship.>>
The reasons I added it were two-fold: (1) the 3 solitary league goals that Bamford had scored from Christmas to the temporary end of the season in March brought his goalscoring into focus, including a lot of criticism of the striker for his profligacy in front of goal - this text sought to address that; (2) the recommencement of the league post-Covid is a unique marker in its own right, almost like the beginning of a new season. Intrigued to hear your rationale for deletion. Thanks. Franburke2 ( talk) 16:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Re: Joe's height, through pictures he is obviously the same height as Aubameyang [6'2] (you can search images of Willock on google images to verify this). For verification's sake EA FIFA 20's database [1] (which uses official measurements) lists him as 1.86m at the start of the season (they measure the players at the start of each season). In light of this, I'll change his height to 1.86m, waiting for an updated measurement he will get from EASPORTS FIFA pending his 3d scan at the start of the next season, thanks. My intentions were only to clarify his height, as I was confused looking at his height wrongly listed on multiple websites (the PL website, wikipedia, etc.).

I had edited Brian McBride's goal total for one of his seasons at Fulham but had not cited the source. I read the citation guide that you linked on my page, but I am still not sure how to cite a source for a table that already contains other information and doesn't appear to have a citation. The error in the table stood out to me because there has been a lot of talk of Christian Pulisic potentially tying Brian McBride on the list of most goals scored by an American in a single Premier League season. You can see here [1] that he never topped 10 league goals in a season. More broadly, is there a specific source that's considered the main authority for soccer statistics that Wikipedia pulls from, or does it depend on the league?

Hi mattythewhite,
I noticed you've twice revert my change for fernandinho. once due to lack of citation and the other because it did not say the year.
Most websites states that he has won it with man city as he has made appearances for man city in the fa cup in the season they won it.
I've only found this link that states his winning year.
Also in citation #120 for fernandinho, it also states the same fact. FA Cup win in 2019.
Another link is soccerway.com which is used frequently for citations for other footballers' honours.
Link 1 --> New link [1]
Link 2 --> Citaton #120 on fernadinho page. [2]
Link 3 --> Same site used for Aguero citation #244 [3]
I think this is okay as a citation now.
Pls revert back my edits with the correct citations. Thanks.

Dear Mattythewhite,
It honestly surprises me that someone could question a fact as notorious as Jair Bolsonaro being a far-right politician (and a self-admitted one at that). It surprises me even more that someone would actually go out of his way to state that, indeed, this is a run-of-the-mill conservative politician we're talking about there.
Now, I understand that, no matter how notorious a fact this might be, this is the sort of thing that might indeed fall outside the remit of someone who mainly curates football articles in Wikipedia - thus, I have added 6 reputable sources to that edit of mine (my first one on Wikipedia) that clearly attest the fact that the politician Juninho criticises is indeed a far-right politician - and not a... "conservative" politician. Incidentally, it looks like there was no source for him being a "conservative" politician - and yet that did not seem to be a problem.
Hope this clarified that this was no "edit troll" but instead a well-intentioned edit. Let's keep Wikipedia free from whitewashing and politically-motivated doublespeak, and call things by their names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.80.151.87 ( talk) 21:58, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
You do realise that the soccerway.com source covered all the honours, you don't need to spend time to source each one. Govvy ( talk) 09:33, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
It is quite evidently the case that the vast majority of players and managers with pages on Wikipedia do not have runners-up listed alongside wins in honours sections. To take two obvious examples with multiple wins, you will not find runners-ups listed in the pages for Alex Ferguson or Lionel Messi, despite both having multiple runners-up positions that would be eligible. Given there is clearly no consensus on this, and given that the majority of pages do not include runners-up, can I ask why it is that you believe some pages should include them? If you believe all pages to have them, should you not seek consensus for this change, and then go about amending all pages (the two examples above would be a good place to start)? I would be grateful if you could confirm you will seek consensus for a change to the vast majority of pages, rather than targeting only a small number of pages to pull them out of line with other Wikipedia articles.

I note that you have removed honours from a number of players on the grounds that they did not play (or more specifically feature in the squad) in the final.

Might I suggest we try getting some before there's back and forth on the topic of runners-up? There is no consistency on this topic anywhere, and it is incredibly frustrating to see people citing "consensus" for changes, when there isn't any. The common sense compromise of including runner-up titles except where it causes clutter seems to work well in most instances, so I suggest we practice that...

Greetings! I've been in contact with a user and with Umberto Bottura, who is requesting to be unblocked on en.wiki.
He was blocked back in 2012 for sockpuppetry, and I see some messages left around 2014 by you on some IP user pages (example: User:186.225.6.248) about suspected sockpuppetry. Since the admin who blocked Umberto is no longer and admin and not very active, I figured I'd see if you have any insight on the request.
User claims he's edited cleanly at pt.wiki for several years. I looked at his talk page: a one-day block back in 2016 and the smattering of warning messages, but nothing I'd consider a pattern of bad behaviour. I'm leaning toward unblocking him: do you know anything in his case history that would make that a bad idea? — C.Fred ( talk) 01:49, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello Mattythewhite. I added content in an article, Eric García (footballer, born 2001), but you removed it cuz I didn't provide a reliable source. My source it's same article from Russian wiki https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Гарсия,_Эрик. You can check all information there. It's same info that I added to Eric García (footballer, born 2001).

If you'd bothered to look at the edit I did on the page you would realise it was turning future into past tense. The page was at least 2 years behind the times on what is happening with the Community Stadium. Nothing added needed additional citation. Please reinstate.

Beyond your nice template, a player who plays 3 EFL Cup games is not conducive to winning that trophy? Come on Matty, are you a robot? Be a wikipedian and complement my addition by putting the quote instead of deleting everything or write me something and explain the criteria of the competition... Wikipedia is collaboration, not impersonal templates. Good afternoon! -- Zigurat ( talk) 17:49, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Thought I'd let you know I reverted a few of your squad number edits, such as the one on Harrison Reed (footballer), since those are shown on the Fulham F.C. official website. Vasil3fonov ( talk) 20:51, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Regarding your edit here; [2] I thought that a bit odd of a revert considering I added a bare ref for that in the newly added international goal table earlier! Which meant there was already a source for that in the article to use. Cheers. Govvy ( talk) 08:37, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Mattythewhite I noticed your message on my talk page regarding timestamps in the infobox of footballers. Slightly confused as this is something that I meticulously aim to do each time I update the caps of England youth footballers through my role at The Football Association. Do you have any specific examples? ( Andycwalker ( talk) 10:23, 12 September 2020 (UTC))
Just realised that it might have been because I've been updating manually (and recently via BST rather than UTC) rather than using the shortcut you highlighted? Andycwalker ( talk) 10:43, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I recently removed some of the info in Mark Travers' National Caps section. The reason being that there is no information here, and it's basically just a big list of all the different age groups in the Republic of Ireland national squad. I removed the ones that there was no information for, and kept the ones that did, and added in the number of caps and the years he played for them. All of this was reverted and I'm not sure why, was it just because I didn't give a reason for removing? All the stuff I removed is pointless as there's no data in it anyway.

I'm not wrong to list him as 6ft 2.5, just as you aren't wrong to list him as 6ft 2. However I won't be able to find a reference for this as people don't measure in half inchs, not officially at least. I just think its more accurate and interesting, because there are several players within the tottenham team with a height of 6ft 2, and Dier consistantly looks slightly taller than all of them in photos where they're standing side by side. You'll be able to find examples for yourself on google images. Go on don't be a stickler for the wikipedia procedures Mattythewhite! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:33A2:701:240E:BE6A:F158:A0BE ( talk) 22:26, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi mate, just wondering the reason you change the height from metres to inches for this page. The first edition of this page regarding height is in metres (19:04, 25 April 2015 IJA talk contribs 946 bytes +946 ←Created page with '{{Infobox football biography | name = Dominic Calvert-Lewin | image = http://www.sufc.co.uk/cms_images/player/20131212-l-dom-calvert-lewin135-1...'). And the reference from the Premier League page indicates that his height is 187cm. ( https://www.premierleague.com/players/9576/Dominic-Calvert-Lewin/overview). Thank you for your consideration.

Requesting your assistance in the UEFA Champions League article. There is an editor ignoring 3RR rules. He’s reverted four times, so is edit warring, and refuses to gain any consensus in the talk page. The material he’s inserted looks like original research, and the sourcing is also highly questionable. Nampa DC ( talk) 22:58, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
You removed the date of birth i added in Louis Boyd's profile due to not having a reliable source. There is however a reliable source claiming he was 15 years and 324 days old when he scored on 8th September [1]. Through simple maths you can work out the number of days in 15 years 324 day which is 5799 days. Minus that amount of days from the date 8th September to give the date of birth as 23rd October 2004 which is the date you removed
If you can work out a way to cite this feel free, if not add the DoB back in un-cited
Hi Matty. User ChrisCheekos keep deleting the Everton reserves and u-23 out on loan section that I created with no valid reason. (1. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Everton_F.C.&action=history) (2. /info/en/?search=Everton_F.C._Reserves_and_Academy). The four players in question who are out on loan are reserves and u-23 players and they are not listed in the first team squad ( https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/first-team). In fact they are listed as u-23 players ( https://www.evertonfc.com/teams/under-23s) in the official site. I also notice that almost all Wiki Premier League clubs pages do have separate out on loan section for first team squads as well as reserves/u-23 squads. In other words, first team players out on loan and reserves/u-23 players out on loan are not listed in the same section. Just like first team squad list do not share the same section with its reserves/u-23 squad list. Thus, I created a separate out on loan section for Everton reserves/u-23 players yet ChrisCheekos undo my amendments. Could you please advise me what to do thank you so much. 16:19, 29 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haklam1218 ( talk • contribs)
Hey. Thought I'd let you know my thoughts about the introduction to Ruben Dias's article. I've had a look at other players playing in the Premier League and, as far as I can see, none of them have it specified as the "English Premier League". I'd say it's enough of a clarification already, considering it also says "Manchester" right next to it. I'd also like to hear your thoughts regarding the issue. Thanks for your time.

Hey, you said that I didn't put any reliable souce. You can clearly see that he was memeber of Chelsea first team for the 2018-19 seasnon. So he won UEFA Europa League altrought he didn t play any game. Alvaro Morata and Victor Moses played matches for Chelsea in group stage so they are winner of that season's Europa league. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LukaOJ ( talk • contribs) 21:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
surely better to group the content in this section into subsections. current position is muddied and illogical? JCJC777 ( talk) 01:26, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
I'm all for the addition, but I assume it has been discussed, to avoid people getting bent out of shape? I've probably been reverted 300 times for adding F.C. to club infobox titles and stating, "The article isn't about the town", etc. in the edit summary. It's somewhat comical if the winds have changed on yet another WP:Football stance, if that's the case. - Seasider53 ( talk) 00:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Matty, please see Template:Cite web (para 3.5.5.) Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.). [...] Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work. This seems to clearly imply that the work or website parameter takes priority and the publisher should only be used when it's not the same. E.g. Soccerbase (website); Centurycomm (publisher). Cheers.
