Latest revision as of 12:28, 11 January 2025

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'm not sure what you mean by "changing my wiki page". If you mean the page about Paul Devlin (footballer), then the changes made by a couple of anonymous IP-addresses changed the format of the infobox (at the top right) away from what it's supposed to look like.

First, it's meant to include non-league clubs (OK, not legends teams or Sunday league or veterans) as well as "League" clubs. Second, the clubs should appear in chronological order, with a row for each spell, and not with several spells combined on the same row. Third, the stats are only for league matches, not cups or playoffs or European games; the table lower down the page includes those.

Hope this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am Paul Devlin, I want to put factually correct information on my page and make it look tidier, a lot of the stats on there are wrong and I want to correct them. I want to put my total apps and goals in, thanks for the info in you previous message, i am new to this and my son pointed out the mistakes. I am not interested in putting the non league info on, the stats are wrong and teams have been missed out in the current bio, cheers, Paul Pdfc2025 (talk) 09:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

If there are mistakes, then please let us know what's wrong, and ideally show published sources as to why it's wrong. Best to do it here, or on the talk page of the article Talk:Paul Devlin (footballer), rather than editing the article directly. As to what appears in the infobox, the convention is that we only show appearances and goals from league matches (at whatever level) so long as we have reliable sources to verify them. We can't make special rules for individual players. As to teams missed out in current bio, we're all volunteers here and can only use what we can find backed up by reliable sources; if you have sources to show spells or appearances with missing teams, please show us.

There's advice to people who have issues with Misplaced Pages pages about them at Misplaced Pages:About you and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Article subjects and Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons/Help. Or as John suggested below, ask at the Teahouse or the Help desk. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm John. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. John (talk) 09:42, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi John,

I am Paul Devlin who the page is on, I am putting factually correct info on my page and getting rid of information that is wrong. Pdfc2025 (talk) 09:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry to interrupt. Another time, if you want someone to read your message, you need to ping them. The format is {{ping|and then the editor's name}}. You won't need to do it again this time because @John: should work. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:03, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Struway2 is quite correct. We operate on verifiability using reliable sources. You are not a reliable source on your own career, as strange as that may sound. How do we know you are really who you claim to be? As Struway2 has said, you should really not edit an article on yourself anyway, as you have a clear conflict of interest. Instead, you should post your suggestion(s) with sources at the article talk page. John (talk) 11:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
