Edit War regards Andrade Vasco to Cadiz

Hi Matthew hk

Just need to know what is the best way to show that Andrade is moving to Cadiz in July 2008. On CBF.com.br website and on netvasco.com.br Andrade has been removed from both squad lists. Is this because he has already moved?

Feel free to change again if you wish but there must be something to show he has moved or will be moving?

Year links in articles

Do you think year links, e.g. 1989 are useful in articles? I noticed you recently readded the 2008 link into the Danijel Subotić article. I don't believe it adds any value. Cloudz679 (talk) 08:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

full date for customization is 1 january, 2008 instead of 1 January, 2008. Have a look on Special:Preferences > Date and Time > Date format. Matthew_hk t c 09:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand your answer. The page you linked doesn't provide any information. Why should years be linked? Cloudz679 (talk) 11:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Have a look on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), when remove the link of the year from full date (1 january, 2008 to 1 January, 2008), you will disable the auto-formating. Try to select a preferred Date format from Preferences, see what will happened. Matthew_hk t c 17:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Please see WP:DATE for correct formatting instructions

Per Wikipedia:DATE#Dates of birth and death, places of birth and death are not to be entangled within the lifespan brackets. Cheers, CP 20:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiCookie

Reverting my work, why?

Mr. MATTHEW HK, VASCO here,

Since August 2007, when you accused me of inserting defamatory info to JOHN MOSQUERA's article, we had not have contact. I left you a message, telling i did not do anything in his (or any page) page and asking for a comment, an apology, but got no asnwer.

Sometimes, i have the intention of leaving WIKIPEDIA, because of the vandalism there is, but i stay and work for the good of the site. However, i noticed that, 2 or 3 times, especially with WENDER (Brazilian footballer), you reverted my hard work, with good external links replaced. I know this is about team work, but somethings are strange.

NICE SATURDAY, FROM PORTUGAL VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 20:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

cite fact please. Matthew_hk t c 07:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

One more thing...

Mr. Matthew, VASCO again,

One more thing: in your edit summary of WENDER, you wrote "RVV". I checked around wikipedia and it means "REMOVED VANDALISM". So, you continue to accuse me of doing things i DO NOT DO...OK.

VASCO AMARAL - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.129.67.28 (talk) 20:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Education

Mr. Matthew,

Still don't know what happened with this edit war with you and me, but one thing is CERTAIN: i write to you, to try to resolve things (maybe it is just a misunderstanding), and, after 5 of 6 messages to you (including this one, and you understand the words, as i saw in your page your level of English is good), you tell me ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Regarding WENDER (brazilian footballer) article, i will explain, AGAIN, my changes: I inserted a link (zerozero.pt) which includes stats for ALL seasons, while you had another (www.lpfp.pt) that was too big, as it was "FOUR SEASONS - FOUR LINKS". No disrespect for your work, but i think my link was better.

That is the end, i see you don't like talking to me for reasons i don't know of (not very nice and polite), so this is also my last message to you. If i see any of my edits (which i believe were good) reverted, i will revert them back immediately, as i did with WENDER.

You can also see my contributions, to see if i am a VANDAL or a GOOD CONTRIBUTOR.

Have a nice life, from PORTUGAL, VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 15:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

You were right about Vidigal

I'm sorry. I'd misread the text on the cat page as if it included both ethnic Angolans in Portugal, and ethnic Portuguese in Angola! Those kinds of categories pop up way too often. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. SamEV (talk) 01:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU has a new format

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/AS and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight (talk) 02:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Little context in Category:People from Santa Catarina

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:People from Santa Catarina, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:People from Santa Catarina is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:People from Santa Catarina, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Concerning Tigran Gharabaghtsyan

Hi, you've removed the player from current squad list, could you please provide an info where stated that Tigran has left Cherno More Varna? Regadrs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.67.219.181 (talk) 04:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Read the history please, 213.91.247.54 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) did it. Matthew_hk t c 16:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

History of Cherno More? I've read, but still cannot find a source of his leaving. Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.67.219.181 (talk) 19:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

No, history page of the article, if you really think he still part of the squad, cite it and add back to the squad, but be careful to the operation of the templates, and lastly welcome to the wikipedia, but please signed on talk page by using four tides ~~~~. Matthew_hk t c 19:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, yes, I meant the history of the article, and there is nothing concerning his leaving, thus I'm adding him again, I regularly get any info regarding Armenian players, so if one changes his club I also make changes on wiki, he took part in the last match (cup final).

WP:HAU

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 22:33, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Years in Yugoslavia

Please read the result of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_26#Year_in_Serbia. There was no consensus to create categories such as Category:2002 in FR Yugoslavia so I am now going to delete them. You might as well stop wasting your time creating any more. If you continue with further disruption you may well be blocked. Tim! (talk) 20:17, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Accusing me of editing?

what are you on? i've never even edited a wikipedia page, never mind some brazilian footballer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.71.92 (talk) 22:54, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:West Asian football biography stubs

Matthew, I wish you'd propose new stub types at WP:WSS/P! we've talked about this before and I've told you that any mistakes cause extra work, like when you make categories or templates with names not in line with stub-sorting standards. You've done so again with Category:West Asian football biography stubs- all other similar stub categories use the for Category:Middle East..., so this has gone to WP:SFD. It would save a lot of work if you propose these things - not doing so can be disruptive, and it's counterproductive having to go back to fix your mistakes. Grutness...wha? 23:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Abdoulay Konko. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Matthew_hk tc 12:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I do have references. One is from Sevilla FC's official website and the other from MARCA.

http://www.sevillafc.es/_www/actualidad.php?op=not&id=11206&webSFC=7c8be7844feea26d25350a6bb89966cc http://www.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/1a_division/sevilla/es/desarrollo/1137222.html

The only thing I edited was Abdoulay Konko's current club (Sevilla, as you may already have read). I don't think it's controversial nor defamatory, because it is official. Please, be careful about your mistakes because I don't want to be blocked from editing on Wikipedia. --Solexhn (talk) 03:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Please delete hoax about football player saveljic or no player becasuse that comfesd people from deleiton page i delete talk about that because is old
