Hi there. Thanks for adding the career statistics table at Herbert Potts. Going forward, please use the standard table layout as outlined at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players. It is the result of past discussions of the community of football editors at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football.

I've fixed the issues at Herbert Potts in this change. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 18:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

I read his article about the international goals and saw the notes explaining the 73 goals instead of 75, but I think the article with the most international goals should, for now, mention 75 for consistency reasons with the sources, including the general source.

In addition, that WP article has a secondary ranking (always had), which is why he is the first one mentioned from the players of the 12th position, which secondary ranking is that the player who achieved the number earlier (i.e. in fewer matches) is mentioned before in case of a tie.

Kind regards,

Sadly the bot doing these archives isn't working right now. A bug report has been made. I will wait for that to be fixed... Barr Theo (talk) 23:23, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that the subject of your article is not the primary subject. Most likely, there is no primary subject. So once you create your article, a hatnote on both pages would suffice. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 09:51, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see... So I should ada said hatnote in Henry William Brown the ace and Henry W. Brown the footballer and that's it?

I want to stress the fact that EVERY link to Henry W. Brown is related to the footballer. There is not a single link to Henry W. Brown that is related to the ace. I made sure of that.

Thank you for trying to find a way.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM)) to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Clenixon per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Clenixon. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).  Bbb23 (talk) 14:09, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, its true. Barr Theo and Clenixon are in fact the same person... The reason that led me to use multiple accounts was purely aesthetic. Basically, my main account (Clenixon) was for the big edits (usually over 5,000 bytes) while this one was for the smaller ones. I have never used multiple accounts to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus, avoid sanctions, evade blocks, or otherwise violate community standards and policies. With this said, I have logged out multiple times to make edits as an IP address, and for that there is no excuse.

If my actions are deemed excusable and if you judge me whorthy of a second chance, I shall renounce all my claims on Clenixon (leave it blocked) and never again use IP addresses, and take upon Barr Theo as my only account. If necessary, I can also list in each page the existence of the other account with an explanation of their purpose.

On the other hand, if my actions are deemed too serious and vile, and if my accounts remain forever blocked, I will also understand.

Since this is the first time I am going through this, I am unware of the proceedings. So I am deeply scared about what might happen to my contributions. Everything I have done, I did it in good faith, I promise. I always searched and cited reliable sources in every article and I have always done it with my own words in order to respect copyright rules, sept for two or three occasional "fevers of laziness". My work surely does not deserve complete extermination and anihilation. That is what I fear the most...

What should my next move be? I hope you can guide me through this. Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 16:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi. I had noticed your block a few days back, but I'm only writing now. Honestly I'm not surprised. I don't think that your reasoning above is a legitimate reason to use two different accounts, especially considering that you didn't disclose it. However, I do believe that it's sad; apart from a few isolated copyvio issues, your contributions have been really good when it comes to Spanish football. Really, those were super interesting and well written in many cases—I patrolled quite a few of them, you know. I'm not sure what Bbb23 thinks for it, but I do think that you deserve a second chance, with a one-account restriction that is. If you wish, you can follow the instructions on the template and request an unblock with ((unblock|reason=)). Oh and, the archive tool is back since a few days, the pages you mentioned in November on my talk have been archived. ~Styyx^Talk? 14:43, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The block is no longer necessary because I understand why I was blocked, and I will not do it again. I shall renounce all my claims on Clenixon (or you can simply leave Clenixon blocked), never again use IP addresses, and take upon Barr Theo as my only account (give me a one-account restriction if you need to). I will keep making productive contributions with my one and only account. Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 16:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As per WP:ILLEGIT, editing same page with different accounts without disclosing the connection, is not allowed. You also admit that you were using IP socking multiple times. Your only way to get unblocked is the WP:STANDARD OFFER. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:54, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I would like to echo the sentiment of the comments made by User:Styyx above; generally the edits have been constructive, well-intentioned and legitimate and the interactions have been courteous, nothing that would come close to incurring a ban in those respects. I really can't think of a reason for you to muck about with multiple accounts in that way, maybe you didn't realise how much that is frowned upon, but why do it anyway? I would like to reassure you that your contributions will not be erased - for one thing, you don't own them, they are now the property of Wikipedia. The disadvantage you will have, besides not being able to contribute more at present, is that if any of your additions get challenged and nominated for deletion in the coming months (which is possible, some of this is pretty niche stuff within the "amateur semi-organised gentlemen's era" of Spanish football - it's interesting to me and a few others, but not everyone will consider the teams and players independently notable even with all the time that people, mainly yourself, have taken on creating the articles), you won't be able to challenge it personally, nor make improvements which could prevent its deletion. And editors may take a harsher judgement on borderline stuff because it it came from a banned user (or an IP liked to them). But there will be no blanket 'banned user=all content deleted' operation. Hope to see you back some time if it still interests you. Crowsus (talk) 04:54, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Today, exactly six months had passed since I was blocked as a sockpuppet, and therefore I would like to use the Wikipedia:Standard offer. I have made no edits, using any account or anonymously, on the English Wikipedia, during these six months (sept here, on my user talk page). The reason that led me to use multiple accounts was purely aesthetic and never ill-intended. I never used multiple accounts to deceive or mislead other editors, disrupt discussions, distort consensus, avoid sanctions, evade blocks, or otherwise violate community standards and policies. Regardless, I understand why I was blocked, and will never do it again. I shall renounce all my claims on Clenixon (or you can simply leave Clenixon blocked), never again use IP addresses, and take upon Barr Theo as my only account (give me a one-account restriction if you need to). I have learned from my mistake and believe I deserve a second chance. I will keep making productive contributions with my one and only account. Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 15:00, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm unblocking your account subject to a one-account restriction. Specifically, you may not operate any account except for this one, and may not intentionally edit while logged out.

What you have done with the article - pasting the full text to the redirect target and replacing the article itself with a redirect - is known in Wikipedia as cut-and-paste move. Technically, it is a copyright violation, since it does not preserve the contribution history. You should never do this again and use the move button. I have now reverted the move. Now, I do not have a strong opinion on the move itself, but the reason you provided - the English Wikipedia does not use the Catalan name system - does not look particularly strong, and I am not even sure the statement is correct. It would be safe to start a requested move for this article. Ymblanter (talk) 06:37, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Barr Theo. I found two articles (Kent Carlsson and Johan Sjögren) you contributed to recently where you gave the wrong language code for the references. While the top-level domain for Swedish websites is .se, the code for the Swedish language is actually sv. The code se refers to the Northern Sámi language. I encourage you to excercise some more caution when it comes to language codes in the future (I personally just write out the full name of the language so stuff like this doesn't happen). Thanks.

The article Charles Hereford has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The only substantial source is a (rather speculative) blog, not a reliable source.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Request reason:

Hi, I am Barr Theo. I am currently unlogged because I do not want to break my "insane streak of creations", which is also the reason why I did not answer Chaotic Enby. (The last time I used an IP address was in 2022 by the way, and this occasion is an exception that I do not want to repeat).

Regarding these wild accusations of bot usage, I must say that I am very disappointed with your conclusions... No, I do not use "unauthorized bots", I simply create the articles on my schedule and then wait for :59 to click on publish. Why do I do it? Because I am obsessed with symmetry (I always edit in pairs, and very often two or four pages per day) and because I am a perhaps slightly stupid and crazy. But one thing that I am not is a criminal and I have never used "unauthorized bots"; in fact, I do not even know how to do that.

Perhaps my insane consistency and tiredness lead some of you to believe that I am being added by machines, or that I am machine myself, but I ain't. I am just a human being, a very relentless and determined one. Sorry, Chaotic Enby, but there are no shortcuts for greatness.

Now that this miserdustanding has been clarified, I need to be unblocked as soon as possible because I have SIX new pages to create (two of which are already done since 21 March, but that I will only publish at :59 of today).

Sorry again for using an IP address. Kind regards.2001:8A0:7E53:DF00:244B:5EB6:FD6F:A419 (talk) 13:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You won't be unblocked just to accommodate your need to be particular with when you click Publish. 331dot (talk) 15:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also note that it wasn't just the page creations and timing, which absolutely made it look automated. The lack of responsiveness is also a major factor that would need to change. Chaotic Enby asked you two weeks ago about the unnatural patterns of these edits. You chose to ignore the questions, and instead continue your "insane streak of creations", as you put it. That gave even more of an impression that this account was being run by a bot rather than a human. Creating lots of pages isn't necessarily a problem (though creating tons of articles that nobody is watching/maintaining can be a magnet for vandalism, especially articles about living people). I haven't evaluated these articles for issues and I'll accept on good faith that they're okay, but when a reasonable question about your editing is raised there's an expectation that you explain what you're doing. How are you choosing the articles and where is the content coming from? I can see they're alphabetical, and presumably translated from something but there's no indication of what this project is about. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 15:48, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know that I should have answered, but I really didn't wanna break my streak nor use IP addresses due to my previous problems with multi-accounts.

Regarding your question, well... most of my articles ("my project") are about individuals who are somehow involved with the Spanish football at the turn of the century (1890–1930), such as players (Manuel del Castillo), presidents (Manuel de la Sota), patrons (Manuel Rodríguez Arzuaga), and even stadium architects (Manuel María Smith). Then I organize them through alphabetics or names, make up a schedule, and follow through it no matter what. I always try to use as many references as I can find and look up for their pages in foreign wikis as a blueprint.

My current schedule ends on 1 April and I am looking forward for a particularly grand finale in March with a couple of José Marías (Abalo and Tallada for example), some of which are already created and ready to go.

Now that I have been forced to end my "insane streak of creations", I hope that you could at least allow me to finish up the month of March in style and unblock me before 23:58. It would mean a lot to me. Keeping up with this schedule required a lot of determintion, perseverance and sacrifices, and I do not want to miss it when I am THIS close to complete it (“Man Plans, and God Laughs”). Thank you for your consideration.

You guys are probably wondering why I put myself through such stress, but this is just how I work. All you need to worry about is the quality of my pages and I can assure that they are sourced, neutral, and very complete.

Sorry again for using an IP address. Kind regards.Barr Theo (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can respect that people have patterns they like to stick to, everybody gets a sense of satisfaction editing Wikipedia in their own way. I don't really have a problem with it, now that we've had an explanation. Before I agree to unblocking, I just have one more question: where is the text for these articles coming from? Are you writing original text, pulling it from the sources, or translating it from other language Wikipedias? The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 18:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All of it. I pull a line from here, other from there, put my own touch to it, mixed it all together and boom... We have a paragraph (like a nice cook); and then I repeat the same recipe until I'm done. So no, I am not copywriting if that's your worry.

Once again, thank you for your consideration. Truly! And yes, I am very satisfied and proud of what I have done in March thus far.

Coincinde or not, this miserdustanding forced me to make two "non-creation" edits, so I guess that's a pair. I will publish six José Marías at :59s of today, and you are welcome to review them if you want.

Kind regards (waiting for 18:59). Barr Theo (talk) 18:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you created this article – Draft:1927–28 Spanish Football League – I moved it to draft because portions of it were not written in English and it was riddled with citation errors. It appears though it was basically copied from es.wikipedia.org, and is this article – es:Liga Española de Foot-ball – according to the translation app I use. You changed the title, and is almost word for word copied from that es article, is that correct? Are any of your other articles copied from es.wikipedia.org?

(emphasis added) That doesn't mean "don't intentionally edit while logged out unless it breaks some pattern", it means don't do it at all.

Yes it is. 1927–28 Spanish Football League was a particular super long article, so if I had built that page like I usually do them – original writing, understading the product, attention to mistakes – it would have taken me over 10+ hours. Unfortunately, I was running out of time ("23:59"), and I decided to just copy-translante-past (but still reading the material) and then I made the stupidity of literally copying without event translanting. I am glad you moved it to draft instead of deleting it right away. I was intending to fix it after my streak ended.

And no, none of my other articles are copied from es.wikipedia.org because none of my other articles were as "super long" as 1927–28 Spanish Football League, so I had the time to make them accordingly. Furthermore, some of my pages do not even have a article in es.wikipedia.org, such as Manuel Rodríguez Arzuaga (28 March), Manuel Ansoleaga (27 March), Luis Saura del Pan (26 March), and Luis Belaunde (25 March), Et cetera, and in fact, these four do not have a page in any other language.

I would love to "give attribution", but I do not even know how to do that. Perhaps you can help me.

Yes, please read WP:TFOLWP. In your next edit to the draft, write this in the edit summary - Content in this article is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at [[:es:Liga Española de Foot-ball]]; see its history for attribution.

Thanks for the help. I will do that when I get unblocked.

Hi.

Just doing my daily check up.

Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 21:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, well with your "daily check up", I'm going to say that I oppose unblocking you at all. You repeatedly violated your unblock conditions and evaded the block altogether (and if it weren't wheel warring, if you were unblocked, I'd just reblock you for that. Unblock conditions are a last chance to adhere to, not a nicety). So, I think for you, it's the standard offer at this point. Wait six months with no evasion or editing under any account or anonymously, come back then, and see if we'll give you another chance then.

Hi again.

I answered to your original question on 30 March (11:59), three days ago, but for some reason you did not replied to me. I suspect that you simply just missed my notification; but somehow you felt my little daily check up and now finally someone is communicate with me. I got to say, I am very, very confused. But anyways... (sorry for my rumbling)

I have already explained that I am not using "unauthorized bots". I have already explained that my block evasions on 29 March was a one-time hot-headed decision in an desperate attempt to salvage my "insane streak of creations" which dated back to 29 February (I literally even stated and I quote "this occasion is an exception that I do not want to repeat"). Furthermore, I do not think that my block evasions of 29 March should be weighted against me "since it clearly wasn't intended to actually be evasive". This last prashe was not me who said it, it was The Wordsmith in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

I also don't think I should get another six month exile from Wikipedia because of this one-time hot-headed decision. The first one was already hard enough to get by. I have literally nothing else to do (apart of my job obviously) nor any other interest or hobby to persue, so during those six months I never felt so bored (and a couple of other things that I won't say to not look like I am trying to convince you through symphathy).

I took your last chance very seriously. I never again unlogged from this account (until 29 March for the reasons above). Just as I said and I quote, "the last time I used an IP address was in 2022". I don't think this is about giving me a third chance. This was simply one giant misunderstanding (because of the bots issue) that led me hot-headed decisions, instead of the repeatedly and prelonged abuse of Sockpuppetry of my first block.

I hope you understood my reasonings for my "block evasions" of 29 March and hopefuly you don't miss the notification this time, so that we can communicate.

Request reason:

I have been blocked for "running a bot script without approval". I have already clarified and explained that I am not. In fact, I do not even know how to do that. I have answered all questions that were asked with honesty and transparency. Isn't that enough? I mean, what else do I have to do? Can I get unblocked now? Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 2:59 pm, 30 March 2024, last Saturday (4 days ago) (UTC−4)

Accept reason:

I'm satisfied that there is no unauthorized bot running on this account, based on the explanations given. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 17:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an administrator, but I've witnessed a lot of unusual situations with blocked editors and the steps editors need to take to get their privileges back. You have to understand that at this point, you're asking an admin to take a leap of faith and trust you, but on multiple occasions, you've put your personal need to fulfill your oddly regimented self-imposed posting rules over the actual rules. Even within the conversation in which people are discussing how to get your block lifted, you are enforcing this :59 rule and prioritizing it over a collegial discussion. If you really want to be unblocked, I would urge you to voluntarily agree, as a condition of being unblocked (and remaining unblocked), that you will not time your posts in accordance with any regimental pattern. Admins typically look for every reason to turn blocked editors back into contributing ones, but you have to give them a *reason* to do so. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 03:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I happened to notice the above, and wondered if anyone had introduced you to Template:Translated page. The short version is that in addition to what they told you about the edit summary, any article that contains translated text needs to have on its talk page at a minimum ((translated|es|)) -- assuming the translation is from Spanish -- or somebody else who is unamused will come and talk to you about *that*. Just a word to the wise. I am not, mind you, any kind of wikipolice, just a sympathetic fellow editor offering friendly advice.

Since you like projects, I also wondered, and this part is completely optional, whether your projects need to be about football. I know of a bunch of badly written articles that probably should be rewritten from scratch by someone who can easily read Spanish sources. If you just like football, that is a fine and admirable thing to work on; I am however not able to make topic suggestions in that area. Mine batch varies but is mainly business, history or economics. Mostly Central America, maybe some Hapsburg or Bourbon Spain. Oh, and the Philippines! Totally your call.

You don't need to answer me unless you are looking for something to do ;) I don't want to clutter up your time slot if you are sticking to your pattern. But I do strongly recommend using the translated template. It's for copyright compliance so they really consider it pretty important ;) Elinruby (talk) 16:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, they don't need to be about football. They need, however, to be about stuff that I find interesting and that does not bore me.

My next "insane streak of creations" will only take place in May, so I will have a lot of time to do other things in April.

Just send me all you got prior to 1950 and I will most likely do it. And thank you for the template advice, I will use it.

Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 18:44, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

prior to 1950? Is 1643 ok? And do I understand correctly that Spanish sources are not a problem for you? I can cope with them but it's work. Any other language abilities? It will take a little compiling since the list I use isn't sorted by topic date. But maybe @Mathglot: will help. If you are serious about this I can start on this in a few days. Some may be existing articles that perhaps should be rewritten. Any preference among the topics I mentioned? Elinruby (talk) 04:47, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hey zi just noticed your Babel box. Portuguese might actually be better for me, unless you are out to practice your Spanish Elinruby (talk) 19:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
