August 2018

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Thibaut Courtois, 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. Content not supported by source; Courtois won't sign until tomorrow after his medical. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:23, 8 August 2018 (UTC) Hello, I provided reliable sources from the official Real Madrid site.[reply]

Hello, I'm Jaellee. Your recent edit to the page Arturo Vidal appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The infobox lists the appearances and goals for the domestic league only as you can read at the bottom of the infobox. --Jaellee (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2018 (UTC) https://www.transfermarkt.com/arturo-vidal/profil/spieler/37666 Reliable source.[reply]

@DragonMarking:: 1) As user Kosack already told you on Talk:Arturo Vidal, transfermarkt.com is not a reliable source since most of its content is user generated. 2) transfermarkt.com lists 196 appearances in the Bundesliga, which is actually correct as he played 117 matches for Bayer Leverkusen in 2007–2011 and 79 for Bayern in 2015–2018. A click on the "196" wold haven shown you a more detailed list of appearances per season [1] where you could have seen how many matches he played for Bayern and how many for Leverkusen. 3) Vidal played three seasons for Bayern. A Bundesliga season consists of 34 matches for a club, so a short plausibility check shows that Vidal could have played at most 102 matches for Bayern and 196 cannot be correct.

Next time, please make sure that the numbers you write in an article are really correct and not just vaguely connected to the correct numbers. --Jaellee (talk) 06:22, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 20:20, 19 August 2018 (UTC) 2 appearances for Buffon with PSG, 1 is from Ligue 1 and the other is from Trophee Des Champions[reply]

File:Nwafirstalbum.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Reduced non-free files

Please don't revert files reduced by Theo's Little Bot back to their original size. The files were reduced in accordance with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy which allows only low resolution small-scale files to be used per WP:IMAGERES. The bot has been set up to reduce such files to the size allowable by this policy for use in the main infobox of an article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:ChloeGames

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 Draft:ChloeGames requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/ChloeGames. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Jalen D.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nwafirstalbum.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nwafirstalbum.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
