September 2022

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Roberto De Zerbi article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 20:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

January 2023

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gennaro Gattuso, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:27, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Martín Demichelis did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! CityOfSilver 20:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

December 2023

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Chris Wilder, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Josh Wolff

@The Special Man You have changed the coaching statistics on Josh Wolff twice adding three unexplained games. He has only been coach for Austin FC. They have played the following;

• Season Games: 108
• Playoff Games: 3
• U.S. Open Cup: 3
• CCL: 2
• LC: 2
• Total: 118

If you think there were 3 U.S. Open Cup games in 2021, that is not correct. Those games weren't specific to the U.S. Open Cup, but rather MLS season games that were to be used to see which MLS teams qualified for the 8 MLS slots in the 2021 U.S. Open Cup, prior to it being cancelled.

Why did you revert my edit?

Please explain on why you revert my edit in Dick Advocaat. JoshuaInWiki (talk) 00:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Because i’ve seen many statitics of Curazao, and nobody mentions those two games you edit in the table.

Tell me, what’s games was that??, explain me please. The Special Man (talk) 03:14, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Sébastien Pocognoli. GiantSnowman 20:34, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I am growing increasingly concerned by the very poor sourcing you are trying to use here, in violation of WP:BLP, WP:V, and also WP:OR and WP:SYNTH with the Soccerway which has no mention of his managerial stats, it just says he is manager of the club. If you try and add again without a source which explicitly states his stats, you will be blocked, OK? GiantSnowman 21:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
