Edit Warring on David Bentley
Your recent editing history at David Bentley shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ȸ (talk) 05:34, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Glamorgan County Cricket Club in 2014, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Darren Stevens (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi PeeJayK3, you removed this image [1]. The reason was that he is not enough in the picture. However, his entire face is in pretty good defenition in the picture and about a fifth of the entire picture space is him. I can recognise this man on the street by this picture. I cannot recognise him by the current article. I believe this image is better then no image and would like to place it back. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 13:25, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

World Cup line-up graphics
Where are you getting the line-up sheets on the FIFA website? I depend on the positions in the "Live statistics" part (before the match starts) for the players' positions. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 18:18, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Soccer/Football Line-ups
Hello, You might have noticed on Davykamanzi's talk page that I was asking for help on creating line ups for matches. I still have problem with doing it and was wondering if you could be of any assistance to me if you don't mind. Thanks --Skyblueshaun (talk) 21:08, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'm having trouble with changing the text from Goalkeeper to Player's name for Example if Joe Hart was the goalkeeper changing it to Hart. And also the changing of position the shirts are in. --Skyblueshaun (talk) 21:14, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- Do you upload or copy and paste the "Empty soccer lineup" file. I just can't get rid of the Goalkeeper text and input names. I can write over it but then it just looks ridiculous --Skyblueshaun (talk) 21:21, 16 June 2014 (UTC).

Hello, why shouldn't that be correct? The ISO code for South Africa is ZAF, not RSA... -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 15:00, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yes but on wiki RSA redirects to ZAF, thus you get a page full of redirects; plus the template itself recommends ISO first (at least for sovereign countries, of course, not being the four home nations sovereign countries). -- SERGIO aka the Black Cat 20:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Here are the sources
Here is the British-based commentary itself as the game was played: http://www.footytube.com/news/guardian/world-cup-final-1966-england-v-west-germany-as-it-happened-L31568?ref=hp_trendian
Clearly says no handball and that Blanks was full of crap and the other players on England knew it was bogus.
Additionally the video itself found throughout the internet on youtube and various places would also be easy for you to consult, such as the one I posted on the talk page.
The "controversial" is easily established, and I provided it already when I made the edit http://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/worldcup/england1966/
it's FIFA's own website and the first sentence clearly indicates the the high degree of controversy.
Now it's time to revert yourself. You have no grounds to claim ignorance of any of these facts/sources I have providedWhatzinaname (talk) 18:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding and I apologise if I was a bit disruptive it's just I spent a lot of time making them edits and for them to just be reverted in seconds is upsetting, I really do think it makes the page look tidier as well as making it easier to view the players.

World Cup Finals Infographic Source Removed
Hello, I just wanted to know why you deemed a source I added as linkspam so I know what characteristics to look for when adding sources/references/expernal links to future wikipedia pages. To "List of FIFA World Cup finals", I added a link to dishtvsignup.com/world-cup-infographic.pdf which is a graphic/visual of the historical information described on the referenced wiki page.

Patrice Evra
I made changes to Evra to include his 3 runner-up appearances in the Champions League.

- Newspapers printing the fixtures of all clubs are be charged around £3,931 plus VAT by DataCo for a date ordered listing.

Hi, I know I have asked about protecting the new United season page before and you said you don't think its worth it, well I am asking you if you still feel the same now as I think the annoyance of edits has gone up quite a bit. I am absolutely fucking sick to death of reverting edits who are either to dumb to read or are just plain ignorant and changing Ferdinand's transfer to QPR despite a message explaining not to and giving a reason why.

2000 UEFA Cup Final line-up
'ello there Peejay! Could you do me a favour? The existing line-up created by Zotteteen1 is incorrect and I was wondering if you could correct it using Inkscape? I found a YouTube video of this match with the correct line-up. For instance, in the Galatasaray line-up (04:07), in the centre back positions, Popescu should come before Korkmaz. In the midfield positions, Buruk should be first, Davala second, Kaya third and last Hagi. In the Arsenal line-up (04:34), in the centre back positions, Keown should come before Adams, and in the forward sections, Bergkamp should come before Henry. Also note that Sylvinho should be spelled Silvinho, which his name was spellt as during his stint in Arsenal, and as for the Turkish names, use the surnames first. I have also taken a look at the 2004 UEFA Champions League Final line-up you created, can you make the Galatasaray kit as same as the one used in the football kit template, just as you made with the Monaco–Porto kits if you know what I'm referring to? If you could do these following things, I would appreciate it (I have attempted to do this myself using Inkscape, but I'm afraid I don't have the experience). Cheers! Arbero (talk) 15:13, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm, didn't know that. Thought it was indeed the Adidas Tricolore according to the Turkish Wikipedia. I must have confused both of them. However, I have not been able to find any references of the match ball (When I say references, I mean sources that is supposed to cover the 2000 UEFA Cup Final match ball, and not the Euro 2000 tournament). Arbero (talk) 18:37, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for correcting the positions on the line-up, but why have you put Arsenal as the home team and Galatasaray as the away team? Isn't that a bit misleading, as it was Galatasaray–Arsenal and not Arsenal–Galatasaray, according to UEFA? Also, I was a bit disappointed to find out that you did not include the exact colours on the two clubs kits (You have made the Galatasaray upper kit white when the v-neck should be red and the shirt (including left and right arm) red and yellow, and the Arsenal upper kit yellow when the v-neck should be blue and the shirt (including left and right arm) yellow and blue). If you don't know what I mean, here is an old Monaco–Porto final line-up that I pointed out in my first comment:
I hope my demands aren't too high. Arbero (talk) 20:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Ah, I understand. Does this only occur when a British (English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish) team is involved? Arbero (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- If you look at the Monaco–Porto line-up above, you put the Monaco kits at the top and the Porto kits underneath. Both of them are foreign clubs. But with the Galatasaray–Arsenal line-up you did today, you put the Arsenal kits at the top and the Galatasaray kits underneath. Arbero (talk) 21:32, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hmm, I suppose you are right. Anyway, how do you create the kits in and then add colours/extra colours in Inkscape? So far, I have experimented with the programme on my Mac and only figured out that you can move each player's kit on an existing line-up using the option "SVG Font Editor". I would like to know this so I can start creating line-ups on my own in the future. Arbero (talk) 23:10, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

List of Manchester United Managers
I don't know if you're a Manchester City fan or something, but Manchester United have lifted TWO TROPHIES under Louis van Gaal. If you're still going to be stubborn and ignorant, here's a site for you to see the picture of one of the trophies being lifted: http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/08/04/4272228/manchester-united-tops-liverpool.html
These trophies count just as much as any other and winning any silverware is just what Manchester United needs right now, so these games and trophies certainly do count. Note they were also against TOP LEVEL competition: the reigning UEFA champion Real Madrid, two very good Italian teams, and Liverpool who was second in the Premier League, and even the LA Galaxy who's the best team in MLS arguably, so stop pretending these games didn't happen :) Holland9 (talk) 14:24, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Please try to reach consensus with each other on the article talk page before it escalates into administrator action. Thank you. LRD NO (talk) 03:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, on the 2014-15 United season page at the time of the United match finishing earlier today United were 20th in the league but someone has since changed it to 17th claiming that's what the source says now, so how does it work does it by the end of the match or the end of the day? Lukejordan02 (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, I just noticed you removed the reference I added for the dates on the page, How come? The previous season had the same reference for the dates (I didn't add it) and it makes the dates sourced. Kind regards Lukejordan02 (talk) 20:58, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Lukejordan02: Would you mind removing that reference again? It's unnecessary either this season or last, as each game has its own reference for all the game data (including the date). I would do it myself, but since another editor was unable to abide by WP:BRD, I've been blocked for a week. – PeeJay 16:01, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Done it, can I have a Barnstar? :) Lukejordan02 (talk) 16:06, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

- @PeeJay2K3:, @Lukejordan02:. Hi, I believe that Statto has changed definition of the position and when holding over it just says "League position after match", but it seems they still use matchday but without alphabetical order when tied on points and goal diff. They currently have United as 16th and from first day they have both Arsenal and Swansea as first. Do you think they have same pos if teams have same goal-diff, that is not order by name. See table with same positions for some teams. We should follow source I believe so put United as 16th? QED237 (talk) 21:04, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Qed237: I just did a spot-check of one of my old Man Utd yearbooks, and they've done the club's position after the entire weekend's matches (or midweek as the case may be). I'm happy to go with whatever decision is made, provided we can come up with a decent rationale for doing it that way and the articles remain stable. Naturally, I'm sure some wanker anons will come along and tell us that some other way is better, but if we can document our reasoning for making whatever decision we come to, we'll at least have a leg to stand on. – PeeJay 21:11, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I agree some decision has to be made and I am considering to ask at wt:footy. Currently many just has league tables as source which is clearly WP:OR so a general consensus would be great. Perhaps even to use Statoo for other countries as well. QED237 (talk) 21:17, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed, just sourcing the league table is not sufficient; we need to source the position after each game/matchday, and a page that changes after every match isn't going to show positions going back several weeks, months or even years. And yes, Statto is a fantastic resource for various countries, so I would wholeheartedly support using them as a source for positions by round in any country they cover. – PeeJay 21:23, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes statoo could be used a lot more. For example results grid for main league season article, league table (if we should not use primary source always, winning sequencies (used in infobox on main league season article). Unfortunatelyy they dont source "positions by round" as many leagues have completely unsourced. For example 2013–14 La Liga has a "position by round"-table source only by a league table.

. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Chillum 13:41, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- The duration of this block is longer than before due to your history of edit warring. Chillum 13:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know, Chillum. I hope you recognise, however, that I wouldn't have to edit war if other editors were capable of respecting the WP:BRD process; I therefore also hope that you have punished the other party with proportionate severity. – PeeJay 15:28, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, the other editor also does not seem to understand that we only have very clear exemptions to 3rr and that other excuses to do apply. The other editor also has a long history of edit warring. The other editor also got a 1 week block due to prior blocks not being effective.
- You two might really get along in another time and place. Chillum 15:32, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

@Chillum: I probably shouldn't be concerning myself with the future actions of the other party that caused my current block, but I hope you will take note of the edit summaries he used to purge his talk page. He doesn't seem to be taking Wikipedia very seriously at all – in fact, it seems like he's only here to troll the site and get in the hair of established editors like myself who have Wikipedia's best interests at heart by pushing the limits of the system. I hope this will be taken into account when administering further punishments to him. – PeeJay 17:46, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- The edit summaries are no big deal. I think there is a difference between a troll and someone who cannot or will not follow our edit warring policy. Chillum 20:10, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- This is true, but the guy has a track record of making troll-esque edits, as I have noticed from his contribution history and his talk page. – PeeJay 21:34, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I know you are currently blocked but if you could talk me through a problem I would really appreciate it, on the 2014–15 Manchester United F.C. season page the see also and references sections that are listed under the transfer section does not show up for some reason, but if you go to edit the page it is there, I know you can't edit but you can still click it and it shows you. Cheers. Lukejordan02 (talk) 19:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- You need to close the ref tag on the Nani loan. Instead of
<ref name="Rojo">
, it should read<ref name="Rojo"/>
. – PeeJay 22:04, 20 August 2014 (UTC) - Also, you need to revert User:Moonraker™'s last edit to the Manchester United F.C. article as not only has he undone several days' worth of edits, he's also clearly acting in violation of WP:POINT. – PeeJay 22:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I think I am going to report him for personal attacks, what do you think? Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:12, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- If you think it's worth it. Just undo the edit for now and see how he reacts. If he carries on with the personal attacks, then report him. – PeeJay 22:28, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Have done, thanks for the help. By the way you being blocked just goes to show what a shitty website Wikipedia really is because I don't think I've come across a more useful editor than you, thanks again. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:32, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Maybe so, but I deserved it this time. Edit warring is wrong, regardless of the situation, and edit summaries are not an adequate substitute for a talk page discussion. I learned my lesson, and I hope User:RealDealBillMcNeal has too. Btw, next time someone makes a personal attack against you, I would advise you not to attack them back; keep yourself on the high ground. – PeeJay 22:37, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Did I attack back? Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- You don't think "Know more about United then you mate" is a personal attack? It may not be particularly aggressive, but it's still a pretty barbed comment that really wasn't necessary. I make comments about anonymous vandals, but they're always tongue-in-cheek. – PeeJay 22:44, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I suppose it could be seen as one although I don't and it wasn't intended as one but rather something for him to take in mind before he makes comments like he did again, plus it always annoys me when these "so called" United fans make believe they know the ins and outs, when a lot of them are band-wagon jumpers, I don't know how long you've been a United fan but the crowds these days are full of rich people that don't want to sing compared to years back when you would go to a game and come back deaf and with a sore throat. Lukejordan02 (talk) 22:49, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I know what you mean. I was at the Valencia game the other week and the atmosphere was a lot better than any league games I've been to because proper fans were able to go instead of the prawn sandwich brigade. Did a bit of singing myself, although I couldn't sing some of the lyrics as I was in the family stand. – PeeJay 22:53, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Ha Ha, I know what you mean, unfortunately I can't go to the games as much as I used to, can't afford it (Petrol and the works) but the memories are there. Nice speaking to you again and I look forward to your return to editing, keeping the articles in check without you has been a challenge with people being speedies that want to be the first to list the transfers before they have even passed the medical and signed.

I am copying here:

we read : "In 1957, during the Stalinist restoration after the revolution was defeated by the Soviet Red Army, the new government created a "new" coat of arms, which however was never officially put onto the flag. Therefore the official flag of Hungary has been a pure red-white-green tricolour since 1957.
And: "After the fall of communism in 1989 there was no need to change the flag, as it did not bear any communist insignia

Hi there - this matter has been discussed before at WP:FOOTY and the BLP noticeboard, unreferenced material about BLPs needs citing, especially when someone challenges the content (as I have done).

Hello
Hi, Peejay glad to see your back, but could I kindly ask that you revert your edit here which you removed as unnecessary. That may be the case but every single previous united season article has that and until a consensus to remove it exists, I think it should stay. Kind regards.

Welcome back (last time we "talked" you were blocked)! Per this message (please see here http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User_talk:Gringoladomenega), please bear with me when i say i agree with Mr. Gringo: 99,9999999999999999% of the clubs in Spain that have the prefix "Real" are not solely known with said appendage, for example Real Zaragoza is also known as Zaragoza, Real Betis as Betis, Real Murcia as Murcia, etc. The only two cases where the club must have the "Real" prefix at all times are Real Sociedad and Real Madrid. And please, this is not only from the Spanish standpoint, also from the English one. Do you want sources?
Of course, if he, me or anyone would compress Manchester United into "Manchester" or "United" it would be dead wrong, but it is not wrong to compress (for all the reasons above) "Real Zaragoza" into "Zaragoza", no one would think that (example) Ander Herrera played for Zaragoza the CITY and not Zaragoza the CLUB.
Attentively, happy weekend (please reply here, i'll be watching the page) --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:12, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- I understand your point, but that's not the point that Gringo was making. On the one occasion when he's actually bothered to explain his actions, he said the reason he was piping the link was "compression". This makes it seem like he thinks that the name "Real Zaragoza" is simply too long, when in actual fact, both "Real Zaragoza" and "Real Zaragoza B" are both still shorter than "Manchester United". Furthermore, I have plenty of sources that give the club name in full (see here, here for examples). I've even seen Spanish sources that retain the "Real". If you have others that drop the "Real", that would not surprise me at all. Just like there are sources that refer to both "Internazionale" and "Inter Milan", it would not be unusual for some sources to refer to "Real Zaragoza" and some to just "Zaragoza". Anyway, would you mind asking Gringo to come here and explain his position for himself? I'm not going to act through a mediator any more. He needs to either speak in English or accept the position of those who can. – PeeJay 13:22, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your input mate. Will do so in about...30 seconds! --84.90.219.128 (talk) 13:46, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- My English is not the best, but I'll try. First: I'm sorry I called "uncompromising", was not my intention to be aggressive. Second, the information of runner-up Lionel Messi has always been there, as in all other contemporary fellow players. I know he has several titles, but what it costs to leave this information. I think is important. When the Ander Herrara also always mentioned only "Zaragoza" in the box, as well as all other clubs with "Real", with the exception of Real Madrid and the Royal Society. Look, I'm trying to keep dialogue, be respectful and explain my point of view. I do not want fights with anyone. Cheers. GringoladomenegaTalk 30 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, only saw your message now. My doubt is the following: since he replied as seen above, i don't know if there have been (positive) developments in your wikirelation. If so, do you still want me to convey your last thoughts in his page? Cheers --84.90.219.128 (talk) 20:12, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

"Nani was wearing #17 when he made his appearance, whereas Henriquez was never given a number)" Henriquez was given a number he was number 21 until Herrera joined and Nani is still a United player (out on loan) but when he returns his (old) number will be already be in use (by Blind), so even though he was number 17 when he made his appearances I think it should be changed to — because, he isn't now. Lukejordan02 (talk) 13:53, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
- First, I don't believe Henriquez was given a squad number this season as the club's announcement of the 2014/15 numbers made no mention of him. Also, you are right that Nani's number will be in use if/when he returns from his loan spell, but since he has made appearances in that number and has not yet been allocated another, we should leave him as number 17. A similar situation arose with Anderson and Mata last season; since Anderson and Mata both wore 8 last year, they are both listed as number 8. – PeeJay 14:12, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I removed the author info because nearly every one of the pages has a printed author but only a selected few mention it and it seems odd to have it for some and not others, and it is not as important as the date and site. Lukejordan02 (talk) 23:33, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Hope this gets to you as not used the talk functionality before.
Can you please confirm reason why you reverted the entry back on James Gibson. The reference sources were input. Not sure how you see it as inappropriate bearing in mind the information included was all factual and sources back this up. Please can you explain as your current entry is incomplete and also inaccurate and this needs to be rectified. Many thanks and look forward to hearing from youAce7007 (talk) 18:13, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

1991 European Cup Winners' Cup Final
I'm quite certain that only two substitutes were allowed from the late 1960s to the early 1990s. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find a reference to support my claims, but I believe there is a pattern; if one looks at the finals of the European competitions, one can see that managers of each club per final from 1969 to 1995 (i.e. the European Cup/UEFA Champions League), only used two substitutes, and that the three substitutes rule wasn't introduced until 1996. I have not yet had the time to have a look at other tournaments with the exception of the European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but I believe that there should not be any difference. What I have said above is merely a theory of mine, but I would like to hear a viewpoint from your side. Arbero (talk) 17:28, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- Alright, if that is what you have to offer. On another note, I was wondering how you managed to complete the match statistics section of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, since it is difficult to find statistics of past games. If I were to hazard a guess, the match footage perhaps? I am asking this question since I have not been able to find the ball possession of the second half (The first half and the overall table were from a UEFA teamsheet I purchased online a few years ago as you can probably see) for this particular final I am currently working on.

Reverting my edit and giving a reason for it does not clarify the situation. Was the company bought outright? Was there a squeeze-out that lead to a new IPO??? As the article stands, it implies that there was a second flotation on the NYSE! Perhaps this information should not be in the lead at all but further down under Ownership and finances.

1954 FIFA World Cup
A quick discussion about this edit/revert. the letter in question, ";ß", is a German consonant. There was an orthographic reform that started in 1996 to remove it and replace it with a double s. So technically, in current spelling the word would be "fussball", but in 1956, it would have been "fußball". The German article uses that spelling as well: de:Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 1954. It applies to all Germanic languages including Swiss German. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- What a stupid reason. You need to tell the German Wikipedia they're doing it wrong and you're the only one who knows anything. Walter Görlitz (talk) 10:39, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- The reform 1996 regards not all the cases. In some cases used ß, even now. The word "Fußball" - for example--Unikalinho (talk) 03:36, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
