Your RfA

Are you going to answer the questions in your RfA? I am between opposing or supporting you, and think the answers will help me decide. Also, seems like you're getting a lot of inactivity on it, you might want to withdraw it. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: Hi, and thank you for informing me. I got a surprise yesterday when I got a message (see thread above) that an other editor nominated me, so I spent the day today reading all information about what it means becoming an administrator. I was not aware that it had "gone live" but thought I had a few days either to accept or decline the nomination and decide if I am ready to become an administrator or not. I wanted to be fully informed about what it means to be an administrator before accepting the nomination. Qed237 (talk) 17:08, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

No problem! Just a reminder, it is Scheduled to end 17:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC) Dat GuyWiki (talk) 17:09, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: Okay great. I see it will update to end a week after my decision, but I will decide as soon as possible. Qed237 (talk) 18:26, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@Dat GuyWiki: I have decided to withdraw the nomination. Qed237 (talk) 20:39, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I have deleted the page. It hadn't gone live. When you do accept a nom, read the transclusion instructions carefully (there's no need to manually update timestamps). --NeilN 20:42, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

@NeilN: Okay, my bad. Well, back to anti-vandalism we go! Dat GuyWiki (talk) 21:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Ronaldo

He scored 4 today so that is why I updated to 88 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fondivine (talk • contribs) 21:49, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

@Fondivine: How can you miss ALL comment? We update ALL players at one time after ALL matches after end of matchweek. After your edit table was completely incorrect and stated "as of 26 November". Qed237 (talk) 21:52, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

I thought we agreed you were going to stop blindly reverting things, and instead update the timestamp, as a constructive editor should? Tsk tsk... Eightball (talk) 05:12, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Dan Gargan

Thats his nick name why did you remove it??? I sourced it correctly — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galaxy Guy 69 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Nothing in that source say anything about that nickname. Qed237 (talk) 00:48, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Joel Campbell

You are wrong about Joel Campbell. He is not on loan any more. He played today with Arsenal F.C. against Olympiacos F.C.. Maybe you should double-check before reverting other users' edits. SoSivr (talk) 01:28, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps you should take a closer look at what you were doing? We already have a row for Arsenal (with 2011- ) which is used as he has been a gunner ever since. There was absolutely no need to add a second row and also it was incorrect, we dont put "summer" or space before dash, and you did not wikilink. A lot of errors in your edit unfortunately. Qed237 (talk) 10:40, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237:1.another Hasty action of yours was removing the external link with Campbell's profile on the Arsenal websiteSoSivr (talk) 12:09, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237:2.since you don't like the word Summer how do you propose designating that he was on loan at Villareal for the second half of the Season 2014-15 and after this period he returned to Arsenal? This issue may arise in the pages of other players too.SoSivr (talk) 12:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

3. I did not wikilink because there was already a link to Arsenal F.C. close by. This is a common practice in Misplaced Pages and not an "error".SoSivr (talk) 12:40, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

@SoSivr: Exactly what months he was on loan is not an information to have in the infobox, we list only years, and as I said we already have a current Arsenal spell. I do a lot of work in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Football so believe me I know. The reason I removed the external links is because it is only temporary and when the player changes club (ort retire if he is in Arsenal for long) then that link wont work. Qed237 (talk) 13:44, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I did not say that the exact months matter; but it probably matters that he was not on loan the whole 2015: the piece of information as it is read now (in 2015 he was on loan) is partially incorrect (since for example he played yesterday 9 December 2015 with Arsenal against Olympiacos). Also if you had written some of that stuff in the edit summary most of this discussion would have been avoided. Good luck in the wikiproject.SoSivr (talk) 14:20, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

The info on the loan can be read in the body of the article, infobox is just a summary. Qed237 (talk) 14:26, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Lazar Markovic & Erik Lamela

Hi QED, are edits actually reviewed by admin users before being reverted? for example with markovic and lamela's wiki pages, the career total numbers were not accounted for under 'career statistics' simple mathematics correction and that gets reverted? if you wont accept my edit could you at least do it on my behalf? Wardgattitriology (talk) 14:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wardgattitriology: No edits are not reviewed by admins. But there was a lot of errors on your edits. On Lamela you used a source that is not reliable and on Markovic you added a date that has not yet been (31 December). Qed237 (talk) 14:22, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wardgattitriology: you have been issued with a final warning, if you continue to edit disruptively again then you will be blocked again. GiantSnowman 14:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

The fact that you guys don't review edits speaks volumes, how can you guys have idea that an edit is disruptive or not? Wardgattitriology (talk) 14:47, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wardgattitriology: The editors that reverts an edit reviews it, but that has nothing to do with admins. You dont have to be admin to have rights to revert. Qed237 (talk) 15:40, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

1958 FIFA World Cup

Hello. I saw that you reverted my edits on the 1958 FIFA World Cup page, so I thought that I would explain myself in a civil way.

1. I verified the information that I put in by going to every World Cup page, looking at the retrospective ranking section, and looking at the number of points earned per team. For every other World Cup, I noticed that there was at least one team that got no points (lost all of their matches), but with this World Cup, every team got at least one point (at least one draw). You can do the same thing if you want. If I am wrong, then I won't put this edit in the article again.

2. In case you say that the edit was pointless (not to make a judgement against you, that is just a comment I have wrongly gotten on an edit before), on the 2014 world cup page for Group F in the section about the match between Bosnia and Iran, the article stated that Iran's goal in that match made this world cup the first since 1998 in which every team scored at least once. Not even first time ever, but just first since 1998. I am not trying to say that the edit was pointless (in fact I found it to be an interesting tidbit of knowledge). I am just saying that it was no better or worse than my edit, yet it got to stay on its respective page for months at least.

I thought that I would explain the purpose of my edit respectfully. Thank you in advance for reading this. I hope you can get back to me as soon as possible. Wildboy7 (talk) 21:15, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wildboy7: First of all I am glad that you started this discussion before it turned in to an edit war. There are two things that made me remove that content. The first reason is that it is WP:OR (original research), meaning it is unsourced and not easy to verify. The second reason is WP:NOTNEWS, meaning we should not have "current info" that may get outdated if article is not updated. Saying This was also the only World Cup finals in which every participating team managed to get at least one point, might be true right now but not if evry team takes a point in 2018, then it will not be only World Cup finals for 1958. If you compare with the other example you had the first since 1998 in which every participating team managed to score at least once and that will always be true no matter what happens in future. Qed237 (talk) 21:19, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: Thank you for your response. I found it very informative and now I know why you took out my changes. Thank you so much for educating me. I have been on this site for a while but am still not an expert editor, so it is nice to get some help. Thanks again. Wildboy7 (talk) 01:05, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Wildboy7: No problem. I have been here for a while, but I still learn something almost every day. We are all here to help eachother improve wikipedia and if you have more questions do not hesitate to ask. Next time it could be me doing a mistake or something and you may help me. Have a nice day!

Thank you

		The Template Barnstar
		I wanted to give you a barnstar to thank you for all of your help converting the Sports Table Module so it could be used for Australian rules football. I've implemented it in the current season. --SuperJew (talk) 16:05, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

December 2015

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at 2015–16 La Liga. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages'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, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. la 16:14, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Some information why would be lovely. Why give me a warning and why heave I deserved a level 2? Whitout information I find this warning a bit weird and probably only retaliation for a warning I gave this editor earlier. Qed237 (talk) 16:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) A tentative look into this, I would agree with you Qed237 - I will however advise yourself and Oldstone James not to edit war and discuss on the talk page if possible -- samtar 16:31, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: @Samtar: To be honest I just did this to get attention - yes, @Samtar: is right, we must stop edit warring and start a discussion (btw It's Qed237 who must start the discussion first - I don't care who started removing the Results by Round table first, it's been there for ages and if you want to make any changes that won't be reverted then start a discussion). la 16:55, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

@Oldstone James: Why must it be me that opens a discussion? Anyone can open a discussion and you keep reinstating unsourced content. Also you can not use warning templates as a way of getting attention, it may be considered disruptive and bad behaviour, but I will let it slide for now. There are more important issues with your editing, like adding unsourced content or using bare url. Qed237 (talk) 17:12, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
