ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Western Conference (MLS), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Washington. 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.

Houston Texans

Hello, Bluhaze777. The team didn't join the league, or play a game, until the 2002 season. If you wish to challenge that date, please discuss it on the article talk page. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 02:53, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Linking dates

edit

This series of edits may be problematic. Linking years to articles sometimes gets removed by scripts, bots or other processes. It may be removed at some point. You'll notice that I ran two of my scripts against the article right after you and it looks like they didn't touch them. I ran a third, but it made a lot of unnecessary changes. Just preparing you for some unexplained change in the future. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your note on my talk page

edit

  Hi. Your recent note on my talk page was added at the top and not signed.

When you add to talk pages please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

New discussions should be added at the bottom of talk pages. If you click the "New section" tab at the top of most talk pages it will do this automatically. See: Help:Using talk pages#Talk page use and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#WP:BOTTOMPOST.

Stats in football players' infoboxes and update of career stats

edit

Hi.

When you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of when the stats are correct. This is done by updating |pcupdate= (or |club-update=) parameter when updating club appearances and goals, or |ntupdate= (or |nationalteam-update=) when updating national team appearances and goals. The easiest way to do this is to use five tildes, which automatically converts to the current time. For example |club-update=~~~~~.

When you update the career statistics please remember that you should also update that timestamp as well to a time when the stats are correct. This is done by manually updating the date above or below the statistics table. By doing this we show when the stats were last updated and it prevents other editors from accidentally updating the stats again.

This is done to show other editors when the stats were last updated and prevent them from accidentally updating the stats again, and also it shows readers that it has been updated.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 23:02, 29 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

MLS conference and "membership"

edit

You've made a lot of changes to team articles to indicate that the teams are "members" of a conference. They're not. I'm not sure where you came up with the language. I would appreciate that you open a discussion and suggest that you come up with different wording. I would suggest that you try including "compete in" instead. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:24, 1 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

September 2016

edit

We have had our disagreements in the past and this will likely be no different. Like Vancouver, Portland trace their roots back to NASL. However, there was a discussion that excluded that from being applied. There's a section on the talk page (see History of the club). If you want to reopen that debate do it but don't do it by edit warring. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

November 2016: Final warning

Founding dates in hockey team info boxes

edit

Please stop changing them and read Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive67#Founded dates in the team infobox again before proceeding. Yosemiter (talk) 04:55, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

The date of announcement may be day one as a business entity perhaps, but not as a team. That starts when they have players and the capability to play a game. There are a large number of official sources that primarily use the first season as the "Founding season" which is what we use. Official announcement dates for the organization are kept in the prose. I pointed you there to read it. For the time being, a consensus based on sources and usage has been reached. Yosemiter (talk) 05:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Same with Major League Soccer teams. The awarding of a franchise to a city is not the same as the founding of that city's team. Please stop changing founding dates based on your own interpretation of what those dates should be. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 04:48, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Not the same. And if you're going to carry on two discussions, I'm going to revert to Bluhaze777's version. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:38, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

February 2017

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on D.C. United‎‎. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I've read the debate you were involved in on the D.C. United page and noticed you've edited some Toronto FC articles. Just letting you know that De Rosario is listed as a TFC player to win MLS MVP (2011) on the Toronto FC page. In 2011 DeRo played 18 games for DCU, 12 for RBNY and 2 for TFC. MLS rightfully lists the MVP as a D.C. United player for that year. I want to have a talk on the Toronto FC page regarding that with the input of some DCU fans. Please stop by if interested. 1 soccer fan 1 (talk) 01:07, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Sporting Kansas City

edit

I see that you decided to take off the information you had added to the Sporting Kansas City article. I didn't have any problem with it, other than the order (Neal Patterson died before Dwyer was traded) and the sentence "It was an unexpected move during the summer transfer window as the striker had been an asset for the team since late 2013" because that is more of an opinion than a fact. Besides those two things, the only other thing that I changed to it was adding the actual dates. So, if none of those changes are an issue for you, I say that you should put it back in, because other than those small things, it was a really good addition to the article.

Timbers

edit

You'll notice I didn't revert your revert on the Timbers article. The team name is the same and there is a claim by the team that it's a continuing history. You should probably discuss the others. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:59, 26 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ATemplates_for_discussion%2FLog%2F2017_August_27&type=revision&diff=800171406&oldid=799304548 It was interesting, but it's entirely misleading. The example I provided was a case-in-point. At the time, Atlanta had only played 24 games but the template showed it had played 25. Second, does the table show the position by round when a team reaches a milestone? in Other words, at the end of "round 24" (whatever that means in MLS terms) did the table show the position of every team after they had played 24 games or did it show the position TFC was in when they reached 24 games, and Portland when they reached 24 games, and so on? There's a difference between English leagues, Spanish leagues, German leagues, Italian leagues, French leagues and other European leagues where at the end of each weekend the teams have played the same number of matches. So as of today, the Premier League table shows each team with four matches. There is a way to see what each team has done after four matches. There is no way to see what each MLS team has done after four games except to create a spreadsheet. And how do you arbitrate between your spreadsheet and another editor's. It's a meaningless effort. It's another effort for fans like you to make the MLS format appear more European and it's not appropriate. This has been the case for the past five years (at least) when different efforts to do this have been deleted. This is the first year that the effort was done as a template.

That it was only linked to a single article is simple reason for deleting the template. That the data is problematic is a reason to never include it until MLS has a balanced schedule. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:12, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I was not vandalising pages, I made contributions with goals of imporving pages, no one wanted to listen when I left discussions open for talk pages and no one bothered to have open minds with new additions while being easy to only revert edits. All in the period of almost four years. The same hadful of editors are involved with controling what is edited in the pages involved. It was not fair at all especially when I have done most contibrutions to the articles while they have not. I even question hipocracy as well since the same habdful of editors don't allow edits other then theirs.

Decline reason:

Declined, per the repeat block evasion. You can appeal this block 6 months after your last instance of editing while logged out. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:17, 4 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
