Roger Federer Article?

Greatness! I think you are doing a great job on wikipedia so far, but I think you can cool off some on this subject because I put in the word Arguably to preface the greatest ever, which makes it neutral! TennisAuthority 09:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User Ratings

Please read the MOS film section on audience response - WP:Manual of Style/Film#Audience response. Especially the last sentence. Ravensfire (talk) 01:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thierry Henry

I've reverted your changes because statements such as 'greatest ever' don't need to be cited unless it is covered properly in the body of the article. In this case it isn't. Your choice of sources is questionable; goal.com is not a reliable source, certainly not for an article at FA standard. Should you wish to make radical changes to the article, best state them on the talk page. Lemonade51 (talk) 10:55, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kochi images

Hi. I haven't checked and looked through you image additions to Kochi but have a request. WP:IMGLOC says we shouldn't sandwich text between two images. Generally, image subjects should be discussed within the article too. Please consider reading MOS:IMAGE if you haven't already. Maybe after that, you might want to check out if the Kochi page follows it? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 18:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League top scorers, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Do not update only two players, you made the table incorrect. Qed237 (talk) 11:44, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

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) 16:20, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Timestamp

Hi.

When you update statistics please remember that you should also update the timestamps as of 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.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 22:33, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for a period of indefinite for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gantlet. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you believe that this block was in error, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 17:41, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:Salvidrim!, Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, I would like to know how you came to the conclusion that I have a sock puppet. I created a duplicate account way back in 2010, when I didn't even know what a sock puppet was & creating multiple accounts is wrong. I was temporarily blocked for about 30 days & my duplicate account was deleted. Since then I haven't created any duplicate account & I've been editing articles usefully & responsibly since then. This is such a poor decision from admins. When I checked the log the sock puppet you found which was mine was User:Rajeshbieee & the created articles by him are mostly Tamil film articles. I'm from a place called Kerala & my language is Malayalam & I don't even know Tamil, except understanding a few words. I would relly like you guyz to remove the block so that I could continue with my small contributions.Gantlet (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Gantlet (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I haven't got any response for my unblock request so doing it again. Hope I'm doin'g it right. I was blocked saying that I'm a sock puppet. I would like to know how you came to the conclusion that I have a sock puppet. I created a duplicate account way back in 2010, when I didn't even know what a sock puppet was & creating multiple accounts is wrong. I was temporarily blocked for about 30 days & my duplicate account was deleted. Since then I haven't created any duplicate account & I've been editing articles usefully & responsibly since then. This is such a poor decision from admins. When I checked the log the sock puppet you found which was mine was User:Rajeshbieee & the created articles by him are mostly Tamil film articles. I'm from a place called Kerala & my language is Malayalam & I don't even know Tamil, except understanding a few words. I would relly like you guyz to remove the block so that I could continue with my small contributions. Gantlet (talk) 22:10, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There was technical evidence linking this account to User:Adj48n, and the technical evidence connecting you and Rajeshbieee was evaluated as "a mix between possible and likely". I think you'll have some more explaining to do. Huon (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Gantlet (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

May I know what technical reasons do you have? You just say there are technical reasons, but doesn't say what they are. I've checked the log of the user Rajeshbee which you claim is my sockpuppet & I've found not a single page common to me & that user which we've edited. I don't know whether that user has made an unblock request, but I really would like to clear this because this shows the incompetency of Wikipedia & it's admins in effectively handling users and makes responsible editors like myself lose faith in it Gantlet (talk) 08:35, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=May I know what technical reasons do you have? You just say there are technical reasons, but doesn't say what they are. I've checked the log of the user Rajeshbee which you claim is my sockpuppet & I've found not a single page common to me & that user which we've edited. I don't know whether that user has made an unblock request, but I really would like to clear this because this shows the incompetency of Wikipedia & it's admins in effectively handling users and makes responsible editors like myself lose faith in it [[User:Gantlet|Gantlet]] ([[User talk:Gantlet#top|talk]]) 08:35, 1 May 2016 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=May I know what technical reasons do you have? You just say there are technical reasons, but doesn't say what they are. I've checked the log of the user Rajeshbee which you claim is my sockpuppet & I've found not a single page common to me & that user which we've edited.

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=May I know what technical reasons do you have? You just say there are technical reasons, but doesn't say what they are.
