Happy editing! Mattythewhite (talk) 16:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

February 2019

edit

  Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I noticed that you recently removed content from Danilo Sousa Campos without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. I have found a source for tour changes to Hamza Lahmar, but please include one yourself in future. Please let me know if you have any questions or queries. Thanks, GiantSnowman 07:39, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Updating stats

edit

Hi there - when updating footballer statistics in the infobox, please try and remember to update the date entry (using ~~~~~). Please also note that we only include domestic league games in the infobox. Let me know if you have any questions! GiantSnowman 13:32, 21 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Infobox timestamps

edit

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Carl Medjani were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

He will not sign for Al-Arabi until 1 July 2019, when his Cardiff contract expires. Please do not update the relevant articles until that date. GiantSnowman 09:32, 9 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! R96Skinner (talk) 10:50, 27 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm R96Skinner. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made on Al-Nasr Dubai SC. I greatly appreciate your constructive edits on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (62.149.77.155) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page.

Again, welcome! UA3 (talk) 06:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Dibba Al-Fujairah Club a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Fahad Khalfan (Emirati footballer).

Account?

edit

I'm sorry to bother about this, but is this the IP for the Wikipedia user Gulfup (talk · contribs)? If so, it is expected that you login for all your edits, cause I am finding it suspicious that both this anonymous user and the account are editing in the same subject area around the same times.
