Thanks for the words above :)
Could you be a sport and add the maths in this chap's statistical chart, please? Found a gross mistake in one of the Villarreal B seasons, now can't make heads or tails of it...
Attentively, thanks in advance --81.193.141.118 (talk) 21:39, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Marvellous! I just think you'd better check Mr. Moreno again, i think the display is not working because of reasons that elude me...
Regards back --81.193.141.118 (talk) 00:32, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly. |
E.g. Sharly Mabussi - try and be a bit more careful as to how many ~ you put in. Iggy (Swan) (What I've been doing to maintain Wikipedia) 11:19, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there Robby, all well?
My request? Same old, same old... While working extensively on the article today, found the following in stats: 21 goals for Sevilla and not 22, and minus one cap for Atlético Madrid (both are supported by BDFUTBOL, SOCCERWAY and that BBC Sport article added in the past (#13)).
Would you be a sport and adjust the totals please? I tried it for five minutes, my head is spinning like a devil's dreidel :)
Cheers, thanks in advance. RIP Mr. Reyes (and his cousin, the forgotten victim) and shine on WP! --193.137.135.2 (talk) 13:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to reach out to you regarding your recent update here. Where did you read that nicknames are NOT in hold? Al Capone is used as an example and has his nickname, Scarface, in bold. MX (✉ • ✎) 16:15, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
I told you to remove that bit so maybe just a footnote? Tee wew28 (talk) 13:44, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
I'l give you a clue it starts with who and ends with a who cares? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tee wew28 (talk • contribs) 11:44, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, all well?
You guessed it right man, can you please improve the display of his statistical chart? Utter mess in my view, for you methinks it will be (MUCH) simpler...
Attentively, thanks in advance and have a nice week --81.193.141.118 (talk) 16:09, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
The second season at Bengaluru seems oddly outlined, maybe i'm seeing things wrong? --81.193.141.118 (talk) 00:19, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
AOK! It's me, back to full-time account editing now that the stalking has (apparently) stopped. Take care --Quite A Character (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
And another one! Ezequiel Garay, i don't think the totals add up at all, and there seem to be some cup matches missing (i.e. Spanish web BDFUTBOL shows us he played one Copa del Rey game in his first season at Valencia, and SOCCERWAY attests to this as well); in Adrián López (great job by the way), I think you could use SOCCERWAY to directly cite his Porto stuff, only ones still not referenced after your changes.
Have a nice week, thanks in advance! --Quite A Character (talk) 00:40, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Cheerio, thanks a million in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, AGAIN! If the sources don't match, i think you should go with BDFUTBOL in this case (Spanish footballer, Spanish web). --Quite A Character (talk) 22:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Ah, yes, my oversight! So, it's BDFUTBOL for Copa del Rey stats and FORADEJOGO for Taça de Portugal ones. But if you don't want to help me after the last developments (for which i have already apologised in the user's talkpage, AGAIN) that's fine, article stays this way.
I wrote yet another exaggerated summary? Yes, indeed. You blew this out of proportion (ANI report?)? With all due respect, indeed too.
Attentively --Quite A Character (talk) 23:25, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Can a brother get a hand in Gerard Moreno (footballer) (his chart of Spain goals)? I tried helping/fixing the chap that edited before me, failed miserably like they did :( --Quite A Character (talk) 22:43, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
I can't find the policy but I know one is out there. Why are you reverting? GiantSnowman 11:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Hey! So, explanation. A lot of people have been telling me that it is ok to change club names because of the information, so that the links don't get cauhgt up. So I am basing it off of their words, but I can see why that is so. Thanks for your time. Bakir123 (talk) 21:28, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi there,
could you please be a sport and remove the ghastly (and forbidden, by WP:FOOTY) assist columns in this player's chart.
Keep up the good work, many thanks in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 03:16, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
Not sure why you are arbitrarily reverting edits and thereby removing sources from an article. It seems petty.Rupert1904 (talk) 19:50, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi there Robby, i wish you (belatedly) a great 2020!
Same old, same old, can you please arrange this guy's chart when you have a minute or two? I could not make heads or tails of it, AGAIN :(
Sincerely, thank you very much in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 06:27, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
For reverting this edit which a naughty IP address has called both of us and another three unacceptable naughty names. What "rules" are we not following? I read the difference of added text and have never seen the news about a name change by one of the footballers that the IP has mentioned. ChrisTheDude must have been annoyed if it stayed on there when he logged in (by evidence of his user page displaying a picture of him with an 1986 footballer).
Again, thanks. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 11:14, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Robby, I reverted your change to Andy Gill. When you use YYYY-MM-DD format dates in the references along with a "use dmy dates" or "use mdy dates" template, the template will display the dates in the desired format. One primary advantage of doing this is, should consensus decide that the date format should change (like, suppose the UK decided to start using mdy dates, etc), the only change required would be to change the "use dmy dates" template, rather than having to change the syntax for every reference. Robman94 (talk) 16:42, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Afternoon.
I have been mentioned in an edit summary by an IP address once again on the same page and guess what? Name changing to "Jonathan Field" again. I can't take it anymore that is overwhelmingly tiresome. Cheers, Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:13, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi there back,
can't say i understand/agree with much of those guidelines. And "FC" is left in Augsburg/St. Pauli but removed in Bayern Munich? Zero sense in my book, with all due respect!
I repeat, i don't think there is any harm done with leaving club names in full in storyline (in first reference, when we link them), piping them only in boxes. But don't worry, Mr. Almeida's article remains exactly how you want.
Attentively, happy editing/week --Quite A Character (talk) 18:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi there. It would be more constructive to update the timestamp yourself, rather than remove correct information from the page. Thank you. Dalitidlamadur (talk) 13:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Again the same, as in José Sá back in the day,
people putting RESERVE TEAMS competing in the top flight (in this case the Primeira Liga) when it's strictly forbidden, what are they thinking?!
Can you please help out and adjust the chart of statistics? Thanks in advance, keep up the great work --Quite A Character (talk) 20:34, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up. I don't see how I could have done that when it was clearly the blocked account per history. (User talk:Struway2 being the page I looked at). Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:26, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi there Robby, hopefully all is well with you and yours in these trying and overall horrible times!
Just cleaned up/added refs to this article, and now here's where you (if you want, kind sir) come in. Where? In the stat chart of course (maths do not seem to add overall, I added the missing C.D. Aves matches because someone else forgot, then checked the totals and "all hell broke loose") ;)
Attentively, thanks very much in advance and keep up the great work --Quite A Character (talk) 10:58, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, there seems to be a problme with this edit of yours... there are 2 different birth dates in the Infobox... and the result is... weird.
I don't know whether it's a confusion between 2 different persons or a misplacement of dates. I let you have a look --Hsarrazin (talk on wd) 18:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi! A short period ago, you moved AS Lyon-Duchère to AS Lyon Duchère. No problem with that. Should you also have moved Category:AS Lyon-Duchère players to Category:AS Lyon Duchère players? And presumably updated all the players in that category so that they have the new category instead? Sorry if this is a daft question, but I thought player categories should have the same name as the club. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Last time i butt in on someone else's conversation, if it kills me! After commenting on your request, my message to the fellow user (please see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fodbold-fan#Footballers_playing_for_amateur_clubs_post-retirement) resulted on being told to get a life. Sure, as you know i use a lot of hystericals in my summaries (not saying it is correct, just stating), but never insulted this person or any user that is here to work well (vandals i have, was even blocked a long time ago, deservingly so if you consider the guidelines).
Bottom line is: he is saying "Leave me alone, i'll do the mistakes i want (changing from "striker" to "forward" if a player is a striker IS a mistake). Clean up if you want, but just get off my case". I'll do a "mea culpa" here of course, maybe i've lost him because of my manners, could be much more gregarious and non-lunatic (so to speak). But promise here, never again will he be mentioned in an edit summary of mine, i'll concentrate solely on the cleanup (i.e. improving article, which is what we're all here for).
Kind regards --Quite A Character (talk) 19:34, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Robby.is.on, Could you clarify how did you arrive on these two separate conversations? This on September 29, 2019: [1] and this on March 29, 2020: [2] Thanks GizzyCatBella🍁 18:31, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Excuse my further curiosity...your main interest area is soccer (or football, as Brits call it), %99 of your editing is aimed at that area. Are you interested in editing any other topic areas? GizzyCatBella🍁 19:07, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Robby.is.on. Your editing is incorect as the link https://sportmagazine.knack.be/sport/magazine/clubnieuws/article-normal-1344979.html can be accesed and the content is available only if you subscribe.

Tried to fix his club statistics all by myself, and this time i think i did pretty well :) Seriously, if anything needs correction, please do help out!
But the display of the newly created (also by me) international statistics chart has me kind of puzzled. Something seems fishy compared to other players (could if be because it's only one year of apps?), what's the problem there (if any, i repeat)?
Kind regards, thanks very much in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 19:20, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi! I just realised that after correcting the inadvertent capitalisation of "top-scorer" that you kindly pointed out on Heleno de Freitas's page, I didn't actually respond to your message bringing this up on my page. So I just wanted to say thanks, and that it was a mistake, and that it is now corrected! Best, Messirulez (talk) 16:55, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
Yes, I agree, but in this case it's not the name, it's the whole box for the national team name, look in any other footballer article, regards. --SimplyFreddie (talk) 17:43, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi there,
could you please be a sport and insert the cup totals for Benfica and Amadora in the statistical chart? It's all in FORADEJOGO, which now is a source in said table. Plus (as SOCCERWAY clearly attests to), 2 matches from the 2008 Supercopa de España are also missing (Valencia stuff). As obviously, i could not make heads or tails of the whole thing :(
Kind regards, thanks so much in advance --Quite A Character (talk) 04:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Great work, as always! --Quite A Character (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, as you have participated in the discussion (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Player positions categories), I thought to let you know that all three positions are being discussed at Categories for Discussion (full-backs, wing-halves, and centre-backs). It would be appreciated if you could also give your comment there. Thanks, Nehme1499 (talk) 16:11, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
If a source says a player played for a club in the league system, we include it in the infobox. That is standard. GiantSnowman 09:44, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok, so what does the Manual of Style suggests using for the position of the player? Commas or Breaks? Because ever since I joined Wikipedia I have been using slashes.

Hi robby, how do you think I vandalized that? It was his poweress that I personally daw. So how to can be vandalism? Reply me in my talk page. Heyday to you (talk) 11:21, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Robby, do you think that warning a user when he/she vandalized Jamie Vardy's article by changing his references to Lionel Messi is disruptive? I've edited 15-20 edits and just 2 unreferenced and unreliable edits doesn't mean that you'll seek administrator attention. Please check before you do these things.

Hi, today while checking La Liga scores,I saw that he had scored for his team in a match. That's why I increased his caps and stats by one. If you see other pages about footballers, you'll find that no reference is provided for upgrading stats and caps. So my edit wasn't bad.Heyday to you (talk) 08:15, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

The CFDS nomination was wrong - it should be moved to Category:Turun Palloseura players per C2C, to match established naming convention in Category:Footballers in Finland by club. Please can you re-nominate? GiantSnowman 06:53, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello Nyrnz here. i update caps and goals using the official superliga webpage. so please refrain from reverting my updates and saying some games doesnt count and then link me to an unofficial site. i will update time stamps in the future.
http://www.superliga.dk/spiller/jacob-barrett-laursen?saeson=2019-20. As you can see, the official site agrees with me, and that is the most reliable source.
Never seen an edit reverted for adding a reliable source. Well okay then. I guess I have seen it all now... Rupert1904 (talk) 22:57, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
An article you recently created, AS Muret, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 06:07, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I've added a few bits with sources. Hopefully that should be sufficient to get the article back to mainspace. If i get chance there is probably some more material about the Coupe de France (which provides notability), especially the 1979 match against Monaco. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 10:00, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
