editAs you may know, your reinstatement of this article has again been reversed, and I have started a discussion on the matter on the article's talk page. One suggestion is that the material from this article could be incorporated into the Bond Girl page that the article now redirects to. Perhaps you would like to undertake this exercise ?

edit Hello, I'm JMHamo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Aly Cissokho, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

editYour recent editing history at FC Barcelona shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Tackle (football move)
editThe link you added to back the claim "Tackling with both legs is illegal." doesn't support that claim. The language in the article is dumbed-down a little, given it is the Daily Mail, but I believe the premise is that Mike Riley advised referees in the English Premier League to sanction challenges where players lunge at an opponent with both legs off the ground as serious foul play.
The final paragraph of the article confirms that:
"FIFA laws themselves are open to interpretation. ‘Using excessive force’, a sending-off offence under Law 12, applies in cases where the player has ‘far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent’.
Referees are advised that if both feet are off the ground players have no control over their actions."
I believe that "Tackling with both legs is illegal." would be better replaced with "Tackles that involve lunging at an opponent with both legs, regardless of whether the ball is won, are generally considered to constitute serious foul play and hence result in a sending-off." 203.39.159.20 (talk) 01:07, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Results section in managers articles
editHi! I have problem with your edits in Asian managers articles. Why you add the section? They are really don't needed. If need, why other national managers like Vicente del Bosque and Joachim Löw dosen't have the section? Low is currently the best national coach and his article don't have this section. Only Asian and American coaches must have the section?! When you can search the results in team's articles, the section really don't needed. Please stop. Thanks! GTVM92 (talk) 05:45, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
I added these sections because I noticed that Dunga and Mano Menezes had those sections on their articles, and I though I would apply them to other football managers, such as Vicente Del Bosque and Joachim Löw, by starting first off with the managers of the AFC Asian Cup, being a tournament I am familiar with and currently following. I added these sections because I though they were useful and informational. Also, national team articles only cover the results of one year or a few months, and are then removed, forcing you to look through the article history section to find them, which is rather time consuming, considering you have to go through numerous different editions to find what you want. Having these results sections saves this effort, gathering them all in one place. Hope you understand. --Alza08 (talk) 05:55, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- This is not a convincing reason when only two managers have this section. Brazilian related articles are not complete and update mostly and most of them are copy right from Portuguese wikipedia, maybe that wiki have this section. First, you must at those managers' article and if it were be accepted, then add the section. Also, the pages you added the results are not complete. Please first complete other sections like biography, careers and personal life to managers article if you are familiar with their biography. 2.191.6.211 (talk) 06:42, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Improving citations
editHello Alza08, I'm Don Cleland. Just looking at some of the pages updated with the news of James Slipper being appointed as captain of the Queensland Reds, and it's a case of citation overload (WP:OVERREF).
Five references is way over the top for any snippets of information like this:
On 16 January 2015, James Slipper was appointed the new captain of the Reds, replacing James Horwill, who would be leaving the Reds at the end of the Super Rugby season to join English Premiership side Harlequin F.C.. In addition, Karmichael Hunt and Rob Simmons were appointed vice-captains of the Reds for 2015.[1][2][3][4][5]

Just pick one. The Canberra Times in this case covers the verifiability and is a better option than the Courier Mail because Fairfax pages can be archived by the Wayback Machine. I've edited the Reds page to remove all the others and added the Title, Date, etc., to the citation as is recommended.
<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/slipper-to-lead-queensland-reds-20150116-12rzin.html |title= Slipper to lead Queensland Reds |work= The Canberra Times |publisher= Fairfax |date= 16 January 2015 |first= Beth |last= Newman |accessdate= 16 January 2015}} </ref>
One good citation is better than five slap-dash references. The page remains easier to read in edit mode and the References list isn't cluttered up. -- Don Cleland (talk) 03:35, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
In January 2015, James Slipper was appointed as the new captain of the Reds, taking over from James Horwill who had previously announced he would be leaving at the end of the Super Rugby season to join the Harlequins club in England. Karmichael Hunt and Rob Simmons were appointed as vice-captains.[1]

Stats in football players' infoboxes
editHi, when you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the |pcupdate=

Tackle (football move) (again)
editOnce again, the reference you have added does not support the claim (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Alza08#Tackle_.28football_move.29). The Daily Mail, as a tabloid paper, is not a suitable authority on the laws of association football, and it has completely misrepresented what Mike Riley said. Even if it had quoted him correctly, he can only offer advice to referees he is in charge of. This advice is not binding, nor is it relevant to anyone in the rest of the world.
I have requested a third opinion on the topic at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Third_opinion to prevent revert warring. 134.148.88.67 (talk) 01:40, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

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.

edit Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Robinho. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.
- 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.
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. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Live updates
editHi.
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 (talk) 14:09, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

edit This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Guus Hiddink, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Unsourced content. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:44, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
Check the 2015–16 Chelsea F.C. season article yourself. Hiddink's first league game for Chelsea was on the 26th of December 2015 (round 18). His final league game for Chelsea was on 15 May 2016 (round 38). This means that in total, Hiddink managed 21 league games for Chelsea. Additionally, the same article states that in all league games played for Chelsea since the 26th inclusive, Chelsea achieved 7 wins, 11 draws and 3 losses, and that Chelsea finished the season in 10th place. I have now realised that I had neglected to specify that the games I was talking about were league games, but that is not malice, just a simple oversight. Have you considered checking Chelsea's season webpage yourself instead of accusing me of vandalism? What happened to WP:AGF?--Alza08 (talk) 03:30, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

edit Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Amy Pemberton, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Invite to the African Destubathon
editHi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
editHi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Flags in European current templates
editHello there, I have been asked by another member of WPRL to widen the conversation on "Flags in European current templates", in the hope to gain a wider consensus. I imagine that this message may well never be read, dismissed, see me lose support, potentially gain some or take the discussion forwards. Please do take the time to read the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_league#Flags_in_squad_templates if you can, but the crux of my position is that the flags are prevalent elsewhere, are consistent with usage by the MOS, and their implementation for their rugby league national squad/team or representative nationality, is in line with their intended purpose. The crux of the remove side would be an IP editor may interpret a flag as indication of birth, give too much credence to the nation, and the decision was made previously. To remove them from all rugby league templates when there is a limited conversation would seem more than a little unfair I would say, hence the attempt to reach out. I'm quite happy to voted down, but would appreciate a few more voices to the discussion, else it would seem quite wrong to move from the majority into the minority.Fleets (talk) 19:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

editHi,
someone is using your name, User:AIza08 (with capital latter I).— Bukhari (Talk!) 05:57, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
You are now a pending changes reviewer!
editHi Alza08! I've been running into you in recent changes patrolling and I happened to notice that you don't have the pending changes reviewer user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling and that you consistently view and undo vandalism and bad faith disruption. I believe that the pending changes reviewer rights would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request the pending changes reviewer right at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to review edits that are pending approval on pages currently under pending changes protection and either accept the edits to make them viewable by the general public, or decline and revert them.
Keep these things in mind regarding the tool or when you're reviewing any pending changes:
- A list of articles with pending edits awaiting review can be viewed at Special:PendingChanges.
- A list of the articles currently under pending changes protection can be viewed at Special:StablePages.
- Being granted and having these rights does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you (obviously).
- You'll generally want to accept any pending changes that appear to be legitimate edits and are not blatant vandalism or disruption, and reject edits that are problematic or that you wouldn't accept yourself.
- Never accept pending changes that are obvious vandalism, contain blatant neutral point of view issues, copyright violations, or BLP violations (duh! lol).
Useful guidelines and pages for you to read:
- Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, the guideline and tutorial on using the rights and reviewing pending changes.
- Wikipedia:Pending changes, a summary of pending changes protection, the pending changes user right, and how it applies.
- Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy section on pending changes protection and its appropriate application and use by administrators.
I'm sure you'll do fine with the reviewer rights - it's a pretty straight-forward tool and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into any questions, get stuck anywhere, or if you're not sure if you should accept or revert pending changes to a page, and I'll more than be happy to help you. If you no longer want the pending changes reviewer rights, let me know and I'll be happy to remove it for you. Thank you for helping to patrol recent changes and keep Wikipedia free of disruption and vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:29, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

edit Hello, I'm HaeB. I noticed that you recently removed content from Latinx without adequately explaining why.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Singing. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

edit Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Firestar464 (talk) 05:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
