Please do not add or change content, as you did to 2014–15 Arsenal F.C. season, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 12:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

re: PL results by round

Hi,

First of all I will answer your question. There is no reason for an article for results by round and I can not imagine it would pass WP:GNG (general noatbility guidelines). Other things than the consensus would probably have such article deleted.

The issue here is that there are no clear rounds in England. Matches gets moved around all the time due to League Cup, FA Cup and a history of postponed matches because of snow and other issues. As there are no rounds often teams have not played same amount of matches and sometimes the difference is 3-4 matches or more. That is why MATCHDAY is used instead of rounds.

Matchday is "the position at the end of the day the team played". So if a team plays on saturday, we use the position at saturday evening on the team individual article, if they play sunday we use position after sunday.

Also the Statto source we found lists all positions for the teams based on matchday. The source you tried adding are WP:OR (original research), because you have to look for yourself and change the date manually to see position after every match. No reason for that when we already have a source for matchday.

I think I got it all, if you have more questions feel free to ask. QED237 (talk) 11:58, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, again. I understand your interest in helping but perhaps next time you could ask before making big edits and create things? You have been editing "high level" articles with many readers and editors and if something is not on the article there is probably a very good reason. You can always ask on article talkpage for example "why are there no bracket?" and you could have gotten an answer and not have your work being removed, as I know you have probably put some work and time in to it. In the case of bracket it tells reader we know who will meet in the future, but we dont know that, so it can not be added until last draw has been made, which is why it is hidden in a comment.

your edit on Google today

Hey, Oldstone James, if you could be so kind, can you toss in a small edit summary when you edit? that would facilitate working through my watch list a lot. plus it's a simple form of WP:netiquette /paying respect to others.... --Wuerzele (talk) 17:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: The main priority in Misplaced Pages is reliability, and, by not following source listed as reference, reliability is not kept.

P.S. Btw, if ur doing that whole thing because of that edit I made about Arsenal in the 2014-15 Premier League article (Arsenal r getting relegated anyways cos they're shit), I was actually joking, I actually like Arsenal))) la 10:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Oh that! Sorry for that, my bad. la 10:43, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Sandboxes and testcases

Hi,

I have seen your recent edits and feel I have to explain a few things.

Sandboxes are for editing and testcases are to see if it works, you should not edit a template in testcases.

If you have a existing template you want to modify, then you can create a sandbox for that template, copy and paste content from main template and then test edit in the sandbox. After that you can compare the current "real" template with your version in the sandbox on a "testcases" page. As a example the template I created Template:Livescores editnotice was tested for some changes at Template:Livescores editnotice/sandbox and then the result was compared at Template:Livescores editnotice/testcases before being rolled out for use.

You should not create subpages of template if the template should not exist (all pages without parents should be speedy deleted) and you should not add your test to sandbox or testcase of another template.

If you want to try new templates it is best to use own personal sandboxes. For example when I created templates I used User:Qed237/sandbox2 for the implementation and I called and tested how they looked at User:Qed237/sandbox.

I will give you some time to blank and ask pages that should not exist to be deleted on your own, otherwise I will clear up and your work risk being lost.

If you have any questions I will try and help. QED237 (talk) 18:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Ewofjkwejfoie/testcases

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.

A tag has been placed on Template:Ewofjkwejfoie/testcases, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Your recent edits

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but if you want to experiment with template code then please use a sandbox; do not use mainspace for your tests. GiantSnowman 23:11, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Copa America

Hi, you have totally mised the point. The Y is for when teams can only reach "blue" and MAY qualify. Now that it is sure that third means qualifying and is green, the Y should not be used. Believe me, I developed the module. Now you have made 4 exact same edits and not attempted to talk so you will be reported. Qed237 (talk) 23:12, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: Man sorry, my bad. So sorry. We can put an X though still. la 23:15, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Self-revert (remove) and I will remove the report. Lets discuss. Qed237 (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: Awright then. Will now be done.

Okay now we can talk. As I said above, now teams has either advanced or been eliminated, because there is no "uncertainty" for the third place anymore. For that reason Y is no longer needed. Do you have a different opinion? Qed237 (talk) 23:26, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

@Qed237: No, I got it now. Because I thought the Y indicated a team that could finish 3rd or lower, regardless to whether 3rd place guaranteed a knockout stage qualification or not. You explained nicely where I got it wrong though. Now I see, there is no necessity for any letter.

Hello, I'm SLBedit. An edit that you recently made to Jackson Martínez seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
