Why do you always update the tag of the {{Use dmy dates}} templates even if you don't really change date formats? It is not necessary to do this if you're just updating time stamps in the infobox. --Jaellee (talk) 22:22, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox dates

Hi, when updating club stats in the infobox you should update the |pcupdate= or |club-update= parameter by adding five tildes (~~~~~), which generates the specific time the update was made. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 12:04, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

May 2015

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Marco Calamita, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits.

Don't what you thought you were doing here, but you removed references and left a mess of broken ref names. Please don't remove references again, especilly when your edit summary just implies you're updating the stats.

Also, changing links of the type [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] to the redirect [[Coventry City]] is at best pointless - it doesn't improve performance, and the edit to remove the excess characters takes up far more server space and processor time than does leaving them in place - and it can be risky, because not all redirects of that type are stable. Thanks for listening. Struway2 (talk) 07:24, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish infoboxes

Hi Robin, how are you?

Can you don't include any spacings in Spanish infoboxes, please? If you see them, 99% of Spanish footballers don't have these (unnecessary) spacings.

June 2015

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to José Gonçalves, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. SLBedit (talk) 21:35, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.Just because they haven't been picked for the team that doesn't automatically constitute that they will never play internationally again, nor that they have retired, plus there has been no announcement by the media or any sports website stating retirement TeaLover1996 (talk) 13:15, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015

Hello, I'm Cloudz679. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Roman Bürki, 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. Thank you.

B team stats

Please stop adding French B team stats to players' infoboxes. The infobox is titled Senior career, hence only senior team appearances belong there. BigDom (talk) 07:44, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, can you please stop adding "French B" team stats in the players' infoboxes. The B team is the reserve team for the respective club, hence "SENIOR TEAM" not reserve team. ACA1429 (talk) 17 October 2015 (UTC) Thank you.

Reference errors on 13 October

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

On the Cédric Bétrémieux page, your edit caused a URL error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spacings

Please stop adding spacings after en dash (–) in player boxes. SLBedit (talk) 16:16, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox datestamp parameter

Hello, and thank you for updating player infoboxes properly. One thing though: you may not be aware that the correct name of the timestamp parameter is (and has been for some years) |club-update=. See the documentation. The old name, |pcupdate=, does still work, but we shouldn't be changing back to it, as you did at Dan Burn and elsewhere. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:55, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox formatting

Regarding your recent edit at Stuart Armstrong, please see {{Infobox football biography}} for the correct infobox formatting. Giant Snowman 12:37, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information

Kindly stop editing Morton players with incorrect information. I have been updating the stats for years, and it's taking much longer with you putting in the wrong things! Salty1984 (talk) 17:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
