Yes you made a mistake

Saliba is wearing 12 and Zinchenko has been assigned the numbers 12 and 34 respectively. If you were watching the Chelsea game you would know that. They are not giving theses players these numbers and going to change them again in two weeks ok ?> 178.167.171.139 (talk) 01:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@178.167.171.139: Hi, I've updated Zinchenko's number in accordance with the squad list on Arsenal's website, although Saliba is still listed without a number. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:14, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Zinchenko shirt's #

Hi, you made a lots of fuss, reverting editions of other users (at Oleksandr Zinchenko (footballer) article revereted edition of 6 users and at Arsenal F.C. - 4), but then put his shirt's # without making reference in the text (because in wiki isn't a praxis to make reference for shirt's #, as you well know). Please, not doing so in the future and be a little patient. We are needing to cooperate and to help each other. Thank you Noel baran (talk) 05:55, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@Noel baran: Hi, as you point out it indeed isn't standard practice to add a reference for shirt numbers (in a player's infobox, anyway), hence why I included a link to the source in my edit summary. The difference between my addition of the number and yours/the ones that I reverted was that I did so *after* Arsenal had actually added Zinchenko's number to the squad list on their website. So I quite agree with your point about being patient, although ironically it isn't me who needs to heed it in this case. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:10, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, yesterday it was published at the Ukrainian webresurce (https://football.ua/england/483381-zinchenko-obrav-sobi-nomer-v-arsenali.html, you can compare the time of my editions and the time of publication of the news) Zinchenko shirt's # and I added it, but not added reference, because as you correctly wrote "isn't standard practice to add a reference for shirt numbers". About making links at the edit summary, I didn't know (even met it sometimes). For these reasons, I (without any irony) asking you not to do these things in future, because we are needing to cooperate and to help each other Noel baran (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Jesse Lingard squad number

Hi Matty, I see you removed Lingard's shirt number from the Nottingham Forest squad template. Interestingly, when he signed, the club announced he'll be No. 10 but it looks like they changed their mind and I can not see any reference to this anymore. Thanks! JMHamo (talk) 22:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Found this on Twitter - https://twitter.com/JP92827821/status/1550522011792859145/photo/1 ... I wasn't going mad JMHamo (talk) 22:58, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@JMHamo: 'JLingz' must have changed his mind, although it's not like him to be awkward! Best to wait for the club to announce their numbers for the season. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:34, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Please check Barca season 2022-23 page.

Good evening, May you please check Barcelona 2022-23 season page? a user called Vicpumu decided to take everything on his own and deleted / changed alot of what included in previous edits from other users maybe he is correct & really improving the page but his way in not having dialogue with anyone is just immature.

thank you 108.30.205.112 (talk) 00:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, please take a look at the page, he keeps saying everything is unsourced based on his understanding.. It always used to be accepted if a news came from a reputable source like a well known news paper.! there is nothing in wikipedia says it should be come from one source only. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.30.205.112 (talk) 01:29, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Arsenal FC squad columns

Hi mate, sorry about the edit earlier on the Arsenal squad section. I was on my phone and it didn’t look even so I edited it. I checked it again on my laptop, it looks even after you reverted my edit. Sorry for saying you’re ridiculous :’> Hieutrung19 (talk) 00:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Hartlepool

Hi there, I see you've recently re-added the league updator position to the Hartlepool United infobox section. I had previously deleted it and corrected it manually because it erroneously updates as having 22 teams in League 2 instead of 24 and I wasn't sure how to change this. Do you know of a way of correcting the position updator? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaeldble (talk • contribs) 12:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@Michaeldble: Hi, well spotted - I've fixed it at Template:English football updater. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:45, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Timestamp edit in football updates

Hello. I made this mistake when I started editing these pages several months ago but since I was alerted about that I take care to update the date. During today's foray unto West Ham players I made sure I put today's date on every update. Could you tell me which pages were not correct? Because I did pay attention to every page but maybe I am missing something Jarvis1895 (talk) 19:10, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@Jarvis1895: At Jarrod Bowen, you updated the date but not the time, leaving us with a timestamp that preceded the time the match finished. In future, I would advise that you update the timestamp using five tildes (~~~~~), which generates the specific time the update was made. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:30, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. I didn't realise the time had to be updated as well Jarvis1895 (talk) 19:32, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Why didn't you just update the timestamp yourself on Tyrell Malacia earlier today rather than reverting it, only to add the information moments later yourself with the timestamp? Just curious as none of what I added was factually incorrect. This sort of thing would really discourage editors from editing soccer related articles. Finnegas (talk) 21:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
