==Cieran Slicker edits be User GiantSnowman==
 
I've made well intended edits to [[Cieran Slicker]]. [[User:GiantSnowman]] seems determined to demonise the edits, twice so far (and 3rd time ready to happen at any moment), labelling the edits as unconstructive and vandalism. Constructive critique is one thing, why GiantSnowman is driven to take such a negative attitude to this I am unable to comprehend. I know anyone can have a bad day, the persistence of the negativity suggests though GiantSnowman is having more than just a bad day. The edits I added are more informative and use less verbose language.

:GiantSnowman’s wording is inline with the article standards for football players across Wikipedia to be fair.
:Reverting the article to the wording used by GiantSnowman would be done by most associated with WikiProject Football.

@[[User:Crowsus|Crowsus]] and @[[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]], thank you very much for your inputs. I'd say thus that there seems to be a consensus, so i re-removed the category and redirected the other user to this discussion (in the edit summaries); let's see if they respect it. --[[User:RevampedEditor|RevampedEditor]] ([[User talk:RevampedEditor|talk]]) 12:31, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

== Timestamps in infoboxes ==
 
Hi all, I've just been on the user talk of a user that amends infoboxes every week but never, ever updates the timestamp. They've been warned several times for over 12 months to do this but, as of today, they still choose not to. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no matter how many times I ask them to do it, they'll never actually do it. As this is not vandalism or disruptive editing per se, it's very hard to encourage certain users to use the timestamp. I wonder if our standard infobox template would benefit from some hidden comments that guide the user to amend the timestamp? For example, in tennis infoboxes (e.g. [[Aryna Sabalenka]]) there are many instructions such as ''first date is death date, second date is birth date'' and ''NEVER UPDATE UNTIL THE WTA/ATP WEBSITE IS UPDATED (usually on a Monday)'' - that way, there is zero excuse when someone doesn't follow protocol.

:It ''is'' disruptive editing - it's essentially repeatedly adding factually incorrect information to BLPs. Hidden comments still get ignored. Blocking is a much more effective way of preventing disruption... [[User:GiantSnowman|Giant]][[User talk:GiantSnowman|Snowman]] 16:35, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
 
::Fair enough. I don't know why people don't do it, even after several reminders. It only takes a few seconds and it helps readers to see that the info is up to date.

:::I agree that it might not be intentionally disruptive but it is disruptive. Periodically I see someone making such an edit on an article on my watchlist, which by itself wouldn't be too bad but I then click on their contributions and see they have made similar edits at the same time to 20 or 30 other articles, all of which I then have to fix....... -- [[User:ChrisTheDude|ChrisTheDude]] ([[User talk:ChrisTheDude|talk]]) 17:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
