Deletion discussion about Kamil Grabara

Hello, Liam E. Bekker,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Kamil Grabara should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kamil Grabara .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Dudek1337 (talk) 00:22, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Hello, I'm Cloudz679. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tomáš Rosický, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The Daily Mail is generally not considered a reliable source. In this instance I have replaced it with a better quality source. C679 17:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Olympique de Marseille, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jean Boyer. 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.

Riyad Mahrez

What makes 15 goals a milestone, and an important one that merits inclusion in the article? GiantSnowman 20:40, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. GiantSnowman 20:50, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

It was reverted because this is an encyclopedia, not a sports almanac. We do not need details of every goal or game. GiantSnowman 20:59, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Uploading images

Hi, happy to help where I can, although images are my Achilles heel slightly. Do you know who owns the copyright? GiantSnowman 09:44, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Transfermarkt

Images

Hi Liam,

The destination to go for uploading depends on whether the image is copyrighted or not. If it is copyrighted, there's an "Upload file" option on the left side of any page. However, copyrighted images of living people are only allowed in extremely rare circumstances, like a person who is jailed for life or has gone missing.

If there is no copyright, go to Wikimedia Commons. You will be automatically logged in under your Wikipedia user name. When you upload there, they will ask you if you took the photo yourself, or if there is evidence that it is not copyrighted.

Let me know how you get on '''tAD''' (talk) 03:39, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't have software that allows embedding, because it could be exploited to images where it is not allowed. The image would have to be uploaded to Commons, and you would have to explain there why it is allowed to be used. In the uploading process on Commons, there will be boxes where you describe the terms by which the image is allowed to be used on Wikipedia '''tAD''' (talk) 10:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Xiker

The article Xiker has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MYS77 ^✉ 23:01, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• Please, and I am asking this as politely as can be so I would appreciate a succinct reply: how is this article notable when the player, as of now, has never appeared in a pro game? Am I missing some guideline here (could be)?

Attentively --193.137.135.2 (talk) 12:15, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi AL. There are other grounds for notability such as widespread media coverage etc. The page also went through numerous administrators in the DYK process and was passed without any issue. I think we both know the issue here isn't with regard to the page but rather with the ongoing discussions regarding Alvaro Dominguez. It is a pity that it has had to come to this. Liam E. Bekker (talk) 13:30, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't personally see any WP:RS with an article exclusively for him (El Desmarque is not enough to pass through GNG, by the way), that's why I nominated him for deletion (as I did with Idris Kanu). The discussion related to Álvaro, despite being a clear lack of respect and lack of willingness to work with other people and respect other people's work, is another subject. Cheers, MYS77 ^✉ 13:53, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

No, kind fellow user Liam, no hidden agenda here, I was asking the question out of sheer curiosity, I am not siding with you because you removed the PROD tag or MYS77 because he added it. I have already moved past the Domínguez situation, I tried my best when I worked in the article for years, I am certain you did the same this time around. --193.137.135.2 (talk) 11:29, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

That I did. I only see a handful of edits from your IP addresses on the page's revision history which leads me to assume you are the "Vanished User" it refers to between 2009 and 2014?. If this is the case then I apologize for not taking more care to respect your work. When I started editing the page it seemed as though there was no major active contributor. Liam E.

Language icons

Please do not use language icons like {{de icon}} for inline citations like you did in Marcel Hilßner. In these cases, the language parameter of the various citation templates ({{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.) should be used instead (see Template:De icon/doc). See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Non-English-language sites. --Jaellee (talk) 16:28, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Liam E. Bekker. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:46, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Can we get some input in resolving an edit dispute?

Hello Liam E. Bekker. I am hoping that you can lend some assistance. Me and user GiantSnowman need assistance in resolving an edit dispute concerning the kit section that was in the Nigerian national football team article. He removed it citing WP:NOTGALLERY. I disagree with his interpretation and I have shared my reasons on the talk page at WikiProject Football. We request the input of members of this project in order to resolve this issue. Your assistance would be appreciated if you have the time. Thanks! unak¹⁹⁷⁸ 16:46, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
