You reverted my modification on Rhys Healey because Transfermarkt isn't a reliable source (not in the French wiki thought). But did you check the 2020-21 Ligue 2 page where you can see that the game against Grenoble in May 2021 is part of the promotion play-off? The current stats are wrong.

1) you need to know a site to say if it is reliable. 2) website of the signing club is usually reliable. Please confirm if those 2 statements are true. If confirmed, please add to a section in Project:Soccer.... if there is one such project. -- Ktsquare (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you deleted the 2021–22 Rahmatganj MFS season article, due to lack of notability. I think I have enough sources that proof that Rahmatganj MFS will take part in the upcoming Bangladesh Football Premier League (2021/22) season. (Source1) (Source2) (Source3). Since the page is protected i cannot create the article and I'm sure these sources are proof enough that the team is taking part in the upcoming League season (which started on 3rd February).

Originally, when I saw your claim that 'Transfermarkt was unreliable', I was confused, because WP:NPPSG did show it as reliable. After checking the Reliable Sources Noticeboard, as well as WP:FOOTY, I made the move to change Transfermarkt on WP:NPPSG from 'Reliable' to 'Unreliable' so others don't get confused like I was. Good move to remove the source. SabreOnYouTube (talk) 16:36, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
You removed all transfermarkt links with the note "transfermarkt is not reliable" on the 1972–73 UEFA Cup page.

On this specific page: all the attendance numbers and all the referees.

In regards to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kristianatienza, would requesting a CU check myself when making a report reduce the work of others (in cases like this, where there's not much evidence to go on)? Or is it simply more convincing coming from an SPI clerk (/admin)? I've requested CU checks before but always felt a bit out of bounds for doing so, so have been reluctant to do so. – 2.O.Boxing 00:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for blocking sockpuppets in the Monarchy of Cambodia page. A new user was made and he has been reverting the previous edits to come back to Camhistory's edits. However, after checking the timeline of kings it seems to make more sense than the previous state of the page. So I have kept his/her changes. The page has a lot of problems (inconsistencies, unsourced content etc) but his edits still seem to make more sense to me, in relation to the timeline and names of kings. Danial Bass (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
Correction: when I said "it seems to make more sense", it only made sense when I compared the monarchy page with the page that the sockpuppet created, I have reverted to the stable version of that page which still has inconsistencies but is still better than "that" version. Sorry for the confusion. Danial Bass (talk) 16:13, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! You wrote that "Transfermarkt is not reliable" here: Senad_Lulic. In my experience it is pretty reliable in terms of basic data like games, goals, line-ups. It's used as a source in several Wikipedia language projects. Tactical formations are not always accurate and of course the market values are always up for debate - but this data I am not using. What other source would you use for cup and championships games from the past in Italy and Switzerland as an alternative then? Termsandnumbers (talk) 11:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

[p]roposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing. Feedback is being accepted until 24 April 2023.
Regarding my edit which was reverted in List of football stadiums in Greece, I explain in detail in the relevant talk page why I put Karaiskakis Stadium in the second position, above Agia Sophia Stadium. Regarding transfermarkt not being a reliable source, I put two sources, one from a journalist website and one from the official Super League Greece website which provides the attendance for a match which was announced sold-out (more matches have been announced sold-out and also have a capacity of 31,100). I was the one to initially ask for protection in this page, but AEK Athens F.C. website states the capacity including the suites (which is not the all-seater customary one), while Olympiacos F.C. websites states the all-seater one.
What could also potentially be helpful is my recent post here. The difficulty in finding "reliable" sources emerges from the fact that AEK Athens F.C. website has stated a capacity of 32,500, but the maximum attendance that the stadium can hold is 31,100 according to official records. 32,500 is a number with suites, but suites do not count in attendance for a football match. The capacity records from slgr.gr (which I explain thoroughly in the Agia Sophia Stadium talk page), along with the announcements from AEK that the matches against Ionikos F.C. and PAOK F.C. were sold out, which are included in my comment there, are reliable enough though to solve the misunderstanding.

You have undone a revision on Neil Warnock regarding the amount of games he took charge of during his second spell as manager.
He took charge of 23 matches. There were 15 in 2022-23 and then a further eight in 2023-24 before he left the club. I have provided a source for that.
You say the source is not reliable, so may I ask why you haven't provided a source that says he took charge of 24 games?
It was 23 matches. Look at the results between 16th of February 2023 and 20th of September 2023. In that period, Huddersfield Town played a total of 23 matches.
