"As of"

Hi Sharamoscar. Please stop adding "as of" to the MOS:LEDEs of footballer articles. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Please explain your rationale and which specific policy is being violated. Many of these footballers have out dated info, so reader needs to know when they were in a specific team. Sharamoscar (talk) 09:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey Scott! Factualupdates (talk) 10:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Sharamoscar, in some cases you did this for retired players where the information isn't outdated. In some other cases you did this for active players where the information isn't outdated either. For those cases where the information is in fact outdated please just update the article. Robby.is.on (talk) 10:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Sharamoscar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:04, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
