Using Transfermarkt as a Reliable Source

Hello, I see you've updated the career stats table for Don Cowan, just to let you know that transfermarkt.com is not considered a reliable source and should not be used for citations. You can read the (rather long) consensus discussion here. I intend to update the references when I get time to use Soccerway and/or Soccerbase, but if want to do it, feel free.

Disambiguation link notification for September 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013–14 Norwich City F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Turner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

October 2013

Your recent editing history at Cauley Woodrow shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. JMHamo (talk) 13:20, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Woodrow

I've been editing for 8 years now and you less than a month, so when I offer you some advice, I am trying to help you. BTW, Struway2 has started a discussion on the Woodrow Talk page about the reasoning behind his edit, and I have to agree with him. Have a look at WP:BRD. When you think something should be done a certain way, you start a discussion on the Talk page, you do not revert and use the Edit summary for your reason. JMHamo (talk) 00:43, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caolan McAleer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scottish Premiership (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Genuine Question

Hello, sorry about the late reply. I've been busy with stuff. Generally, friendly games pre-season are not notable nor are bookings, as they happen all the time. Have a look at WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ROUTINE. Hope this helps. JMHamo (talk) 11:12, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

No problem, and yes that helps; understand it now! Thanks! RyanSkinnerMU (talk) 13:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

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.
