Kickers

Hi re your edit to Kickers - WP:OVERLINK states "Avoid linking the names of major geographic features and locations". Both England and United Kingdom are major geographic locations. It is also redundant to use both: thus, the infobox item should be either |location = [[London]], United Kingdom, or it may be |location = [[London]], England. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:26, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hulk (footballer)

Hi there HP, AL from Portugal here,

1 - in the infobox, it's city and country only, the other details appear in the body of article. 2 - the football community prefers the term "footballer" OK?

Attentively, happy editing - --AL (talk) 13:11, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again: 1 - city of birth appears in the body of article, not INTRO; 2 - linking known countries/cities (Japan, Russia, London) is considered OVERLINKING; 3 - it's "25 July" not "July, 25". Please don't engage in this, even tough your intro additions about his national team career were good.

Attentively - --AL (talk) 13:14, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AL, thanks for making suggestions. Here is my point of view concerning the above 3 points. Firstly, I've accepted your no. 2 suggestion as overlinking and I will make sure I won't do it again. As for your no. 1 suggestion, I noticed that most wiki articles concering a living person do include city of birth in three different places: Infobox (City, Country), Intro (City, Province/State/Region, straight after Date of Birth in the brackets), and Early life (City, Province/State/Region, Country), as well as the Wikipedia:Persondata (City, Province/Region/State, Country), which does not appear in the article. Concerning your no. 3 suggestion, I don't know about in Portuguese, but in English the proper format for date is 25th of July, 1986 or July 25, 1986. 25 July 1986 is casual and doesn't look formal in articles.

Anyways, happy editing. Hadi Payami (talk) 05:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note(s). I am not 100% sure on display of birthday but have a few examples (here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_rooney, here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Brown and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Yorke - the last one's not even a footballer) to see that the proper display is WITHOUT the comma.

However, please stop writing the birthplace in introduction, it goes against WP:OPENPARA (please read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:OPENPARA#Opening_paragraph). I have already asked for an admin (and also connected with soccer edits) to come and drop a line here and/or mediate.

Happy week, keep up the good work - --AL (talk) 23:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More (i forgot to mention it earlier): please leave the order/display of external links be regarding the former it's: 1 - website from own country (SAMBAFOOT) first; 2 - then where he played several seasons, Portugal (and the site name is ZEROZERO not FOOTBALLZZ, the latter is just the translation of the Portuguese name); 3 - links related to national team stuff; 4 - minor links such as transfermarkt. And there is no need for the .net and the .com after the links names.

To wrap it up: no need for "CAMPINA GRANDE, PARAÍBA" in the persondata field, the name of the WP article is CAMPINA GRANDE, in persondata we will have "CAMPINA GRANDE, BRAZIL" (city and country, simple). Also there, don't know why you insist in writing "professional footballer" instead of just "footballer" but, out of respect, i won't revert it again. --AL (talk) 23:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Always Learning is correct - we do not include the place of birth in the intro brackets alongside date, per WP:OPENPARA. Giant Snowman 07:46, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Cedar

Michael Cedar is not a point guard. Stop changing the rosters around. Some players have more than one position you know. Go check out your facts. Check out that link. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mate, Michael Cedar did play as a PG a few seasons ago when the Crocs coach lost faith in former Crocs starting PG Kevin Robertson. Yes, a lot of players can play more than one position and Michael is one of them. When the website lists Michael Cedar as a SG, do u really believe SG is the only position he can play? I used to live in Townsville and I can honestly say that I've watched enough Crocs games to know that Michael was and is going to be their PG for the upcoming season. Hadi Payami (talk) 10:38, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, you keep putting all the players with one position. Your putting Michael Cedar as a pure Point Guard. And for forward/centres, you keep putting them as either power forward or centre. Example: Russel Hinder is a F/C. Not just a centre. I don't know why you keep doing that???? DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:42, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I only list the most likely position they are going to play for their respective NBL clubs in the upcoming season. For example, Russell Hinder can play either PF or C, but he will mainly play as a Centre in the upcoming season. Hadi Payami (talk) 10:51, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aaron Grabau

Why have you now put Aaron Grabau as the starting shooting guard? You thought he was too old before when I put him there. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After investigating more into the Taipans rotation, I got a feeling that Clint Steindl probably isn't ready to fill the starter's role at this point in time. Aaron Fearne will probably start Grabau at 2 and use those two young guns off the bench and gradually increase their minutes on court depending on how well they adjust to pro basketball.

Disambiguation link notification for October 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of world club champions in association football, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Intercontinental Cup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
