Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to List of current Premier League and English Football League managers. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 02:51, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Wilfried Zaha. International statistics that contradict cited source. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:13, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Muhammed Bayır

Hello, Ortizesp. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Muhammed Bayır, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Muhammed Bayır to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

Patrolled and some tips! Suggestion

Hi,
I've recently patrolled the articles you created relating to football players. Many of them have been tagged for cleanup and I thought I'd give you a few tips:

Link rot - most of the articles cited bare URLs as references. This can become a problem as they may become inaccessible later on.
Citations - almost everything you say on Wikipedia articles needs to be sourced so it can be verified. The more citations you make, the better. I think your articles could benefit from the use of inline citations a bit more as they are quite helpful for the reader.
Stubs - this kind of links in with notability. Stubs are extremely short Wikipedia articles, many of which could do with expanding. Stubs often have low citation counts (see above) because there's not much content that needs verifying. If you can expand these articles, that is much appreciated!
Formatting - Wikipedia has a general guide for layout and format conventions to keep in mind when creating articles (see links below).

In relation to these points, you may find the following policies and guidelines helpful:

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and I hope my advice is useful to you!
Kind regards,

Speedy deletion declined: Daniel Barlaser

Hello Ortizesp, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Daniel Barlaser, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Previous AFD may be recent, but the article is not "substantially similar" in particular the deletion rationale "who has not played in a fully pro league" no longer applies. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ϣere SpielChequers 14:46, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

March 2017

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Dominggus Lim-Duan‎. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Giant Snowman 08:04, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eddy Gnahoré

Hello. I've undone your edit to Eddy Gnahoré, and ought to explain why. First, there's nothing in either of your sources sources you added to verify what you added to the infobox. Second, I can't actually find anything to confirm the throwaway line in the football-italia site about his playing for Ivory Coast U17. It's not something I've heard before, and there's nothing on Birmingham City's website from 2010 – he was at Birmingham for the whole of 2010 – that mentions such a thing. I wonder if football-italia have confused him with Wilfried Gnahoré, who did play for the U17s around that time. If you have a reliable source for his playing for them, preferably a contemporary one, please feel free to re-add the content.

If you do, please can you try to format the reference like the others in the article. Just writing the url isn't really good enough, see WP:Citing sources#Avoid embedded links. The page Help:Referencing for beginners with citation templates gives a blank cite-news template to copy and fill in: most footballer articles use the cite-news family of templates for referencing. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:29, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Simon Sturridge. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Struway2 (talk) 08:33, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page.

So at Simon Sturridge you add a descent category without adding a source. And then I come across this one, which is completely ridiculous... You add a descent category to a BLP, "sourced" to a random website with no indication of reliability that doesn't even mention the subject... And then this one: at Hélder Tavares, you add his international debut and a fact about his parentage, sourced to a stats database teamsheet and a press release by his club about a health issue. Neither source mentions his parents.

I strongly advise you to read the second paragraph of WP:LISTEN, and then spend a bit of time reading WP:Verifiability, WP:Identifying reliable sources and the WP:Biographies of living persons policy. And then work slowly enough to be sure you're doing it properly.

Thank you for listening. Struway2 (talk) 09:19, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nicolas Laspalles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roman (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.

Wikiprojects

Hey Ortizesp. When you create a new article, try to remember to add associated projects to the article's talk page. These can usually be found by looking at closely related articles, but in the case of footballers, would probably include ones similar to Talk:Anthony Rogie, namely football, biography, and whatever country they happen to be from. Thanks for helping us build an encyclopedia. If I can be of any help, feel free to drop me a line a my talk page. TimothyJosephWood 21:58, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ismael Álvarez Lohoba

Isma also played for Equatorial Guinea against Benin.[1] I think the articles you created (Federico Obama, Saúl Coco and Jordan Gutiérrez) are not ready to be a part of Wikipedia. That's because the match they played was removed from the FIFA records (reason: referee from Equatorial Guinea instead of a third country) and then it is like if it never would happen.--MonFrontieres (talk) 18:21, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Saifeddine Alami. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Mile Svilar

You have proposed this article for deletion. Tomorrow he will make his first appearance in the Champion League and will be the youngest goalkeeper ever in the Champions League. Please reconsider your proposal. Sonuwe (talk) 10:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of association football families

Thanks a lot for all your contributions to the list! I also really appreciate the edit summaries with your additions.

Apart from thanking you, I also wanted to make sure that you're aware that the second (or further) player doesn't have to be a youth international minimum - it can also be a player playing professionally for a club (meaning=in a fully-pro league) who hasn't been capped internationally at any level.

Furthermore, if you'd like to help improve the list beyond additions, it could use some maintenance of going through the listings and removing any families where neither of the people is an international or an important person in the game. Also all listing need to be referenced, so if you see any unreferenced listings, they should be removed or have a reference added. I was going through it in alphabetical order by country for a while.. think I got up to Liberia.

Once more thank you! :) --SuperJew (talk) 21:57, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for heads up! I'll make sure to sift through the list here and there, and try and clean it up. I appreciate all the positive feedback! You're doing a great job maintaining the page.--Ortizesp (talk) 22:46, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
