Hi S.Azzopardi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for joining the coolest online encyclopedia I know of. I hope you stick around. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. Check out the simplified ruleset. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.
Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing 4 tildes like ~~~~. Always sign the talk page, never the articles.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! Iswatch20 (talk) 05:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
The fact that you call the reverting of your edits vandalism is telling of your mindset. Two other editors along with myself have already reverted your edits to the lead. The opening paragraphs I reverted to weren't even written by me and already make it clear that 42/45 FIFA countries use "football" instead of "soccer". I'll let other editors revert your biased edits, because you seem like an uncompromising individual. LonelyMarble (talk) 22:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Also please read Wikipedia:Three-revert rule if you revert the page more than three times in 24 hours expect to be blocked. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 12:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
If you continue to do this then you will get banned. It's up to you. That four editors have now reverted you should tell you something. In addition, don't try the WP:Blanking thing as it is definitely inappropriate in this situation. Discuss proposed changes on the article talk page or you will likely be banned.GordyB (talk) 12:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I would strongly suggest that you don't simply reinsert your text. I have been editing Wikipedia for over four years and Phillip Baird Shearer even longer. What you have to bear in mind is that because something is verifiable does not mean it should be included. Much of your text broke other Wikipedia principles such as NPOV.
If you wait a couple of days and then insert your text a section at a time then likelyhood is that most of your text will be accepted.GordyB (talk) 14:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Your comment in the history of Football (word) ("remove clear case of WP:BLANKing. User intetionally blanked tons of sources info with no rationale. According to WP:3RR I am able to revert such destruction of work.") is not a justification for a clear violation of the WP:3RR. You have now reverted parts or all of the page many more than three times. If you revert all or in part again I will block you account. However if anyone else reports you for your WP:3R violations to date, your account will almost certainly be blocked by another admin.
I suggest strongly that you engage with other editors on the article's talk page and try to reach an agreement with other editors before you edit the article again. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 13:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you had created the image at Image:Flag of Gozo.png and I was wondering what your source of this flag is? Myself and other vexillologists could not find any reference to any flag for the island, much less any reference to that flag appearing (outside of Wikipedia). Is this a design you created yourself that exists nowhere else? I also noticed it is linked to pages about the Gozo football team, is it perhaps more related to the team than the island? Please enlighten us to more details about the flag, when it was created, who created the flag, the symbolism, who uses it (since the island has no government of its own to legislate the flag as the official flag of the island). Thank you. --Canuckguy (talk) 16:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you were the one who created the Jamaican kit, do you think you can create the new one for the team page. I would love to but I have no clue how you added those small details to the jerseys. Thanks Krayziegunts (talk) 03:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Jordan FA.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:28, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
