Football interrest

Hello and welcome! I see you've made quite a few edits to football related subjects, feel free to join us at the WikiProject on Football, where we try to organize our football-related contributions. (One note, standard name for categories on players is <CLUB> players instead of <CLUB> footballers. :) – Elisson • Talk 21:46, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I do realize the problem, although I do also have a solution to the problem of clubs with several sections. I've done it with the Swedish clubs, and I have noticed it elsewhere too, and that is to give each notable section its own article. In that case, there should be a general page (a sort of disambiguation page), which gives basic club info and links to the sections. See for example Djurgårdens IF (which has equally famous hockey and football sections, thus a disambiguation page at the generic club title), with Djurgårdens IF Fotboll and Djurgårdens IF Hockey as section articles. Also note how the players of the football section has the category named after the section article title. In cases where one section is much more famous than the others, that section is placed under the generic club name. See for example IFK Göteborg, which also provides a link to the disambiguation page with the other sections. In the Panathinaikos case, I'd like to see the football section at Panathinaikos FC, and the category named Category:Panathinaikos FC players. However this is probably something we should discuss at the WikiProject before doing anything that radical. I don't fully understand your last question about new club lists, though. Care to explain a little better to this stupid Swede? :) – Elisson • Talk 22:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah, yes, please do. :) – Elisson • Talk 23:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

David Howells

Hi Benjy. I noticed a lot of POV in the last two paragraphs of the David Howells article. Rather than add the {{POV-check}} tag or butcher the article by removing it myself, I thought I'd ask if you would like to improve it, seeing as you wrote the original and clearly know much more than I do. I hope you don't think I'm being patronising. ;o)  Slumgum T. C.   02:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Football club player lists

If they have signed a contract with the first team, then, IMO, they should be included in the player category, however I don't know if that is what you mean when you say "list"? – Elisson • Talk 19:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

If they had a contract with the first team, then I would say yes. – Elisson • Talk 18:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Avi Nimni

Hello, you changed his full name to "Aviyahu Nimni", but that's not true, his name is just "Avi Nimni". Is there any reason you did that? ⌠Yellow up⌡ 13:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Eve Shamash moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Eve Shamash, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Your draft article, Draft:Agence française anticorruption

Hello, Benjy613. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Agence française anticorruption".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

1rr violation

This is a violation of the WP:1RR sanction in place. Please self-revert. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Thank you for this. I am undoing flagrant vandalism from a user that has previously been censured for his inflammatory editing of Israeli/Jewish articles which seek to demonise Israel and Jewish people. Benjy613 (talk) 23:08, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

It is not flagrant vandalism, it is the result of a lot of editing and discussion. Please self-revert. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:10, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes. It is. DMH223344 is a bad faith actor whose many edits and reverts on this page are notoriously anti-Israel and not remotely unbiased. Benjy613 (talk) 23:20, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I have reverted your 1RR violation. If you violate 1RR again or continue edit warring you will be blocked from editing. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:18, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I have reverted once, protecting my own edit which is a fairer description of what Zionism was when it was first created, hardly a war. With this version that you have allowed, you continue to support racists and those who seek to divide the populations, rather than seek the truth out for yourself. I recommend, you look into the conduct of DMH223344 and see that he has been cited before. I have not engaged in these tactics before. Benjy613 (talk) 23:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

This is your only warning that if you continue to use language like you continue to support racists you will be topic banned. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:30, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
