Footballer infoboxes

If you update the club stats/goals in a football player's infobox (as you did with Adam Boyd), please could you also update the pcupdate parameter - simply replace the existing timestamp with five tildes (~). Otherwise the "last updated" date will be misleading. I've updated the Adam Boyd page now: it said it was last updated in July but it now shows the correct timestamp. Cheers. --Jameboy 12:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The same applies with Tamika Mkandawire. If you need an explanation on how the 'pcupdate' thing works, please let me know. But you really do need to update it if you update club stats in the player infobox. Cheers. --Jameboy 18:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Jamie Jones (footballer)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jamie Jones (footballer), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Ellis Lankster. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write practically anything you want. faithless (^speak) 18:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stats in football players' infoboxes

Hi, as already written by other editors above, when you update the stats in football players' infoboxes please remember that you should also update the |pcupdate= (or |club-update=) parameter. This shows when the stats were last updated and prevents editors from accidentally updating the stats again. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 22:11, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep this in mind. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:15, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2014

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tomasz Kuszczak, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Pepe Mel, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:13, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

January 2015

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Gabriel Zakuani. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:28, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox timestamps

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite (talk) 00:06, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep this in mind. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:22, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stats

When updating footballers' stats, please remember to also update the "stats correct as at" timestamp (the "club_update" parameter). This edit left the article saying that Nouble had played nine league games for Torquay as at 4 April, which isn't true.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asking again, can you please please please also update the timestamp when you update a player's stats. Edits like this are not right and end up having to be fixed by other editors...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox stats

Please note that we only include domestic league games in the infobox - so no Cup or Continental matches etc. Please also ensure that when you update the stats you also update the date, using ~~~~~. If you have any questions please ask. Giant Snowman 21:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stats (yet again)

June 2023

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Harry Smith (footballer, born 1995). Giant Snowman 18:11, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stats (yet again)

I can see that you have been asked many many times already to also update the timestamp when you update players' stats, and yet you are still making edits like this one, which left the article saying that Graham had played five games for Orient as at 16 August, which clearly isn't correct as Orient hadn't even played five games this season as at that date. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try and remember to also update the date? Given how many times you have been asked and not taken note, you may be at risk of a block in future if this sort of editing continues....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:55, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
