Revision as of 13:05, 4 April 2012

Speedy deletion nomination of 2009–10 UAE Second Division

A tag has been placed on 2009–10 UAE Second Division, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Armbrust _Contribs 09:27, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Article format

Please try to include information in the UAE Second Division article first rather than creating very short unreferenced new articles for individual seasons. Polargeo (talk) 10:01, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in 2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualification, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 15:45, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Please don't add spaces before and after an endash ("–") such as "5 – 1" as stated in WP:ENDASH. Thanks. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 16:12, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualification

Why did you remove the fixtures for the Qualifying group stage section? The fixtures listed is the correct order which is in accordance with the rules and regulation of the qualification. And why did you also remove the categories? Those are legitimate categories as there has been or will be a fixture played in each of the countries for the respective categories which I have put.

2011 AFC Beach Soccer Qualifier

Thanks for the help with the AFC Beach Soccer page. I've been waiting all day for that information! You beat TurboGuy to the punch here! Caperspark (talk) 17:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

2011 South American Under-17 Football Championship

The reason why I said that is because you put the woman's teams instead of the men's, then you undid my edit and then you did it youself. I hope that gives you a reason. Wifishark (talk) 15:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC−05)

File source problem with File:Annakuliyeva.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Annakuliyeva.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:27, 12 March 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:27, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Youssef Msakni

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Youssef Msakni. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

2012 AFC Challenge Cup qualification

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The appropriate section is WP:ENDASH. 11:16, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 12:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

The reason why "1 – 1" is not allowed is stated in WP:ENDASH. There is no exception to this rule unless there is a good reason (there is none) to do so. Please read that on why I shall keep on reverting edits that reintroduce that format. Thanks. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 19:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Youssef Msakni

The article Youssef Msakni has been proposed for deletion because under Misplaced Pages policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners or ask at Misplaced Pages:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Logan _Talk 05:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2013 African Youth Championship

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Thank you for experimenting with Misplaced Pages. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:59, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Arab Youth Championship

Your doing some great work here, but in the future please try to discuss things before just re-directing pages. I'm trying to be fair here to open up a discussion about the name but you just avoid it and do what you like. Please take others into consideration and lets work as a team. Druryfire (talk) 20:16, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Saudi Arabia Football Federation

Hi there. Two points that will make your life easier in the future.

1. If you have a source, cite it. Don't give it in an edit summary. Verification requires a source in the article itself.
2. The article and the infobox should match. There is no point in editing the infobox, and leaving the article wrong. In a day or two some editor will notice the discrepancy, but since you don't give a source, will always revert you.

I hope this helps you. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 20:15, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Syria

There's a slight difference between a claim in a Syrian newspaper and FIFA actually confirming this. I don't think you should be editting this stuff until you get something official. Also - it wouldn't change the seeding - Syria were still in the draw, they are just subsequently replaced Jlsa (talk) 13:41, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

It is showing up on this page but not anywhere else. The problem is that some of the "match report" stuff by federations has been outsourced in recent years. It is possible that someone external to FIFA have editted that page based on what they have read here on wikipedia (or elsewhere) rather than it being confirmed by FIFA. This has happened a couple of times with CONCACAF Jlsa (talk) 13:57, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

CAF U-23 Championship

Hey, noticed your great work on African football, keep it up! I also just wanted to let you know that I created the main competition article for the newly made CAF U-23 Championship, if you want to have a look and see if you can add or fix anything. Take care.

The Persian Gulf

Hi, Uishaki; I notice you have been going around Misplaced Pages, changing the name of the Persian Gulf, citing that it is "not the correct name". You may wish to study on the history of the naming of this gulf; there is also a good concise section in Misplaced Pages at Persian Gulf naming dispute which you may want to have a look at. Please note that internationally-recognized geographic names are not something to be tampered with based on individal taste and, as such, any editing of this kind may be construed as vandalism which is not tolerable for an academic environment such as Misplaced Pages. We are all here to improve on our and everybody else's knowledge. Let's not deviate from that path. I trust this is agreeable. Thanks, Kamran the Great (talk) 21:23, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Uishaki; your references are not internationally-recognized ones. Please do read the Persian Gulf naming dispute citing UN directives on correct usage. I notice you have carried on vandalizing pages with refernce to the Persian Gulf. Please stop disruptive changes. I will undo your edits, hoping that we have an understanding; otherwise i will have to refer your edits to moderators, which may lead to suspension of your account. Thank you, Kamran the Great (talk) 08:12, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Persian Gulf - name vandalizing". Thank you. --Kamran the Great (talk) 08:31, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (geographic names) says that we prefer common English names for geographical features. In this case the preference in English sources (and most other languages) is "Persian Gulf" and there is no competition. You can look at lots of old maps here and here and you will only find a few exceptions. Your personal opinion on what the name should be doesn't count, sorry. Zero 13:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Let me also agree with what Zero and Kamran the Great have said. The most common name in English-language sources is "Persian Gulf", so that is what we should use in Misplaced Pages. As well as the naming conventions that Zero linked to above, you might want to have a look at WP:COMMONNAME and WP:EN for some other perspectives. I recommend not reverting any further - if you change "Persian Gulf" back to "Arabian Gulf" much more, a trip to the administrators' noticeboard for incidents might become necessary, and there is a chance that you may be blocked. I don't want things to come to that, so I hope that you can recognize that the guidelines are very clear in this case. Let me know if you have any questions. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius 14:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Phil Younghusband

The game of the Philippines against Hong Kong (and therefor also the two goals by Younghusband in the game) is recognised by FIFA as a full international tie. See also the website of FIFA (click "previous" a number of times). It is in the list of ties of the Azcals in the year 2010. Magalhães (talk) 16:06, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Fabrice Muamba

Hello, I would like to point out at that nationality is not decided merely by what nationality your parents were; to believe this would to me to constitute a narrow conception of nationality. The fact is that the player's nationality is ambiguous and, going by WP:FOOTY consensus, it would be best to not mention a nationality in the opening sentence of this player's lead. To not take into account that the player was raised in England and that he has amassed in excess of 50 caps for England at youth international level would be neglegent. Besides, to says he is Congolese would require verification by a WP:RS, although I can't see there being any available since this isn't the case.

Ali El-Khatib

Three of your edits at Ali El-Khatib were just reverted as possible vandalism. You changed "Israel" to "Palestine" and "Arab-Israeli" to "Palestinian," contrary to what the AFP source on the page says. Be more careful with your edits at that article in the future, and note the addition of Template:ARBPIA to the article's Discussion page, which you should read before editing there again.—Biosketch (talk) 08:56, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Since you've ignored my message and are continuing to corrupt the Ali El-Khatib article, I've requested Arbitration Enforcement here. Please read what I've written and try to explain your behavior there.—Biosketch (talk) 13:05, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

SOLA2012

article is absolutely true But in the end of the page there are groups There are two categories not have any relationship with the subject, I've mentioned in the first category , although the Arabs of Israel is an Israeli player In the second category mentioned players Palestine But we know that Israel is a country, and Palestine is not another city in Israel and should not be the existence of these two categories on the page and the article includes an Israeli player, not a Palestinian. --sola$$$$$$$$ (talk) 16:43, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
