Your recent edits

Shaun - blanking your talk page, combined with the fact that you have not actually responded to concerns raised during your block, are not a good sign. We are trying to work with you and help you here, why are you making it so hard? Giant Snowman 16:46, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

OK, glad to hear it - like I said, I'm here if you need any help. Giant Snowman 17:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Poor form

I would advise you that removing 70 references from an article in favour of introducing bare URLs and unsourced information (extremely trivial information), like this, is a bad idea but then you know that really, don't you. Argyle 4 Life^talk 20:47, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Shaun, please be careful when editing references - you should always use full cites over bare links. Giant Snowman 20:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

2013 Welsh Open (snooker)

Please don't add mid-match scores, as this violates Wikipedia's WP:NOTNEWS policy. Thanks. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 15:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

February 2013

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Arjen Robben. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again.

Your recent edits

Hello. Please have a look at the section of Wikipedia's Manual of Style dealing with dates and numbers. It says, among other things, that we should use measuring units and date formats appropriate to the subject, and we "should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style", i.e. we shouldn't change format to one we just happen to prefer. It's still normal to use imperial units i.e. feet and inches for measuring people's heights in the UK, and probably always will be for US people, so if you come across a Wikipedia article about British or American people that uses imperial units in the infobox, you'd do best to leave it that way.

As to Morgaro Gomis, did you have any reason for changing his birthplace, his height, or his number of international appearances? given that his birthplace was sourced within the infobox, and the number of Senegal caps was sourced within the body of the article. Presume you are aware that information is aupposed to be sourced, particularly information in WP:biographies of living people. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:11, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Alessandro Matri

Hello. You just edited Alessandro Matri's infobox to change his Juventus stats, using the edit summary "Corrected". According to his Soccerway page here, the figures were correct, though not up to date, before your correction. Where are you getting your figures from? Struway2 (talk) 15:34, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Soccerbase isn't a reliable source for anything other than the English and Scottish leagues, and it isn't necessarily accurate even for those. Transfermarkt isn't a reliable source for anything, because it's user-edited, although it's often accurate for German clubs and big non-German clubs. As it is for Mr Matri, if you look at the 10/11 season.

In future, if you come across information in an article that's completely different from your preferred source, as at Mr Matri, I suggest you double check in reliable sources before changing the info, and if you're sure you're right, add your source to the article and use your edit summary to say what you've done.

Any chance of you explaining why you ignored the sources already in the article Morgaro Gomis before making changes? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Matches

Most individual matches would not be considered notable, only ones that have received lots (and I mean lots!) of coverage or are a Final etc. Giant Snowman 13:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Shaun, please can you add a source for Bobby Reid's loan move to Oldham? Giant Snowman 16:19, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Federico Bessone

Russian Premier League table

Hi there. According to the regulations of the Russian Premier League, the first criteria to sort teams that have the same amount of points is the overall number of wins (Paragraph 13.3 of the regulations here: http://46.4.108.17:81/download/article/189/%D0%A0%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%20%D0%9C%D0%9F%202012-13%20%20%D0%98%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F%20%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%8F.doc ). So Dynamo is above Kuban (12 wins vs. 11) and Mordovia is above Alania (4 wins vs. 3) before the head-to-head games are taken into account. Cheers!

Football/Soccer edits

Hello Skyblueshaun, I have seen that you make the edits for many leagues and domestic cups, so I would like to make your life a little easier and would like to ask you if we could make a deal in the form that you can edit the leagues and domestic cups running from 2012 to 2013 and I would take the leagues and domestic cups that run through the calender year 2013. Do you think that you can live with that idea or is that not an acceptible one? Thanks for your answer Catgamer (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC).

Hello. Thank you for your contributions on the 2012–13 Slovenian Cup, though your contributions were inadequate and incomplete. You are welcomed to contribute to the article in the future, however, please restrain from doing so if you are not willing or not knowing how to edit the article properly (see all the edits in the article, which were made after your own contributions, to see what you did wrong or what you didnt do at all). inadequate edits only generate confusion within the article and among standard editors.

I've reverted your move of the Whitehawk template because it renders all previous uses of the template as "Brighton City". A new template needs to be created. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:13, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Updating articles during matches

Hi there. I notice that you are updating articles during matches, like 2013 Norwegian Football Cup and the 2013 UEFA under-19 elite qualification. I don't know if anyone told you before, but updating these articles during matches is not wanted. Because this is an encyclopedia and not a live-score site, you should wait by updating these articles until the matches are finished. Mentoz86 (talk) 18:28, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Irony maybe?

Hello blue shaun. You tell other users that Wikipedia is not a live score website and should wait until the match is over but you still end up updating player's international goals even when a match they're in is still in progress. Mas y mas (talk) 14:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

NTU Updates

Skyblueshaun if you are going to take the time to update goal tables, please also do an NTU at the same time. I have noticed many examples of info boxes that conflict with your goal tables lately because you did not update both.--Gri3720 (talk) 18:18, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that is sarcasm or if you really don't know what an NTU is. Essentially, if you add a goal to a goal table, that goal should also be reflected through updated national team statistics in the info and you should update the date on which it was last updated. For example, you created a goal table for Abderrazak Hamdallah after his goal against Tanzania. However, you left his info box NT stats a 1 cap and 0 goals. Obviously that means that either or both the goal table or NT stats are inaccurate since they are conflicting.

Robin van Persie

Your cleaning-up of the international goals section introduced WP:OVERLINKs (adding links to countries) and WP:REPEATLINKs (linking items that were already linked earlier in the table. I removed them but left the remainder of your changes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:28, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Full FIFA World Rankings

The article Full FIFA World Rankings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not needed, as there is FIFA World Rankings. full list is linked and easy to find in that article. this article adds not a single sentence of info. there also was a previous discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_71#FIFA_World_Rankings to not include it in full

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Please stop overlinking and adding repeat links! You have been told before by another editor about this but you continue to do it anyway! Please stop! Mas y mas (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello again. What is it about not overlinking and repeat links do you not understand? Please stop! Mas y mas (talk) 15:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Shaun, please ensure your tables are fully referenced - I will remove any tables I come across that are not referenced, and if you continue to add unreferenced material to BLPs, you will be blocked again. Giant Snowman 11:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Just because other tables are unreferenced does not mean you should 'copy' them - if you see unreferenced tables I suggest you either remove or reference. Giant Snowman 11:20, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

If you use an edit summary, such as "removing unreferenced material", then you should't be questioned as you have already explained it. Giant Snowman 11:23, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

One link - the first - to a country or is fine. Five in a row is overlinking. Giant Snowman 11:28, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Looks fine, although you don't need to link to Italy in the "Venue" column so much! Giant Snowman 11:36, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

You should link to the relevant stadium, city & country on the 1st goal at tha location - but if the player scpres there again, there is no need to re-link. Giant Snowman 11:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Also, no need to link to the exact groups i say. Kante4 (talk) 19:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

2013 British Grand Prix

Hi Skyblueshaun,

Unfortunately, I've had to revert some of your edits to the 2013 British Grand Prix page where you have added qualifying times to the table. Because of this, I thought I'd take the opportunity to explain why:

My main concern is that you have filled in all of the drivers and times for the first qualifying session. However, the second and third qualifying sessions have only just been run, and new times will be set. By filling in the order for all 22 drivers in the first session, you are only creating more work for other editors as they will have to constantly rearrange the table to update it accordingly.

2013–14 Austrian Football Bundesliga table

I'm just letting you know that moving the name of the template was an absolutely brutal move. The whole point of using the word "current" instead of the year was so it wouldn't have to be put up for deletion at the end of the season. Kingjeff (talk) 21:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Coventry exiles

Hello. For those players (McSheffrey etc) you updated to say they're free agents, please can you add a source that says they've been released, i.e. had their contracts paid up or arranged some other severance package and are no longer under contract to Coventry. I've looked, and I can't find one. There are plenty of sources that say they're no longer wanted by Coventry, and are free to find other clubs, but that doesn't make them free agents, and doesn't mean they're no longer contracted to the club. This fansite article, posted today, makes it fairly clear they are still under contract, having refused a proposed severance package.

If you can't find a source for them no longer being contracted CCFC players, please would you undo those edits. Thanks, Struway2 (talk) 13:57, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

2013 UEFA Super Cup

Please don't make live updates to match articles as you did to 2013 UEFA Super Cup. Nothing that happens in a match is official until the result is recorded and reported by the referee; can you imagine what would happen if the match was abandoned part-way through?

Yep, provide a quick overview of the situation i.e. "adding factually incorrect/out-of-date information to articles, despite warnings" or similar. Giant Snowman 14:11, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

2014 world cup scores

There is a report link usable to verfiy scores direct from fifa.

If people wish to update the page with the correct information should we not let them? KiraChinmoku _{(T, ¤)} 13:56, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Talkback

The MIP template exists for a reason. Although wikipedia is not a live score website, if users choose to update match scores and the information is correct and verifiable, which in this case it is, there is no point reverting it. Wikipedia is an excellent source of information and the more up to date it is the better. To the best of my knowledge there is no part of Wikipedias policy that says you cannot update sports match scores live KiraChinmoku _{(T, ¤)} 14:04, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013

Your recent editing history at 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – CAF Second Round shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Monty ₈₄₅ 17:43, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a short time for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Monty ₈₄₅ 18:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

@ Monty845.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Skyblueshaun (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I feel like I don't deserve to be blocked because 1) You only just notified me about the three-reverting-rule. 2) I am trying to get people to stop editing live scores. 3) I have been in contact with User:PeeJay2K3 and in regular contact with User:GiantSnowman to try and resolve the live scoring issue. Please unblock me

Decline reason:

Unless I'm missing some critical detail, it appears you were made aware of the policy, acknowledge your understanding, then almost immediately resumed edit warring. I don't disagree with your position in that dispute, but that's for you all to work out in discussion. Kuru (talk) 19:23, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I'll leave this open for review by another admin, but would mention that Skyblueshaun had reverted 10 times prior to the warning. After the the warning, they left me a talk page message indicating receipt of the warning, and then 20 minutes later reverted an 11th time. Monty ₈₄₅ 19:20, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

It was 7 times in total actually. I know that I didn't once after warning but that was by mistake. And honestly before the warning I have never heard of the three-rule. Skyblueshaun (talk) 19:22, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

There was an attempt on the talkpage to discuss this that you totally ignored and to me you made no attempt to solve this dispute. QED237 (talk) 21:57, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Shaun, you were blocked (not banned!) for edit warring, I'm afraid ignorance of the law is no excuse. Giant Snowman 10:09, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Ukrainian Names NOT Russian names

If you are going put the goalscorers for Ukrainian Cup at least have the decency to use transliterated Ukrainian names NOT Russian names. i.e. Melnyk NOT Melnik and many othersBrudder Andrusha (talk) 16:54, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

While you may think that additions during live games is against WP policy I find that you adding Russian names of Ukrainian Players as highly offensive and shows your poor knowledge of Ukraine in general.

AIV

Hi Shaun, in the future, could you try to make sure that IPs have received a final warning (level 4) before you report them to AIV? It will make the blocking admins much more likely to take action if they see multiple warnings on the IP's talk page. Thanks! Mark Arsten (talk) 19:45, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Borderline in standings

Hi

I just opened a discussion at WT:FOOTY, at the section WT:FOOTY#Remove borderline in standings that i thought might be of your interest. One editor keeps inserting borderline in already completed standingstables and i think they should be removed as they always has been? There are no need for borders when group is finished and teams has background colors. I would appreciate your input on the issue. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 13:24, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

2013–14 Slovenian Cup

Hello again. There is no problem if you wish to contribute to the 2013–14 Slovenian Cup and other Slovenian football related articles, however, learn already to use the correct and official stats and not those that you are continuously using from as they are in 90% incorrect! In one case you didn't even put in the correct goalscorer! For example: you have today added three QF results and added seven scorers (one incorrect), yet you didn't write down the official and correct minute in six cases. Not to mention that your contributions were half-made (without every stats). Ratipok (talk) 21:22, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edits in the 2013–14 Slovenian Cup article have been undone as they were not referenced by official sources and they were incorrect, incomplete etc. If you do not wish to do the edits properly then my suggestion to you is, to not do them at all. All your future edits in this article will be undone if you will not comply and do them fully an correctly (see former edit updates in this article to see what is required).

Live updates

Hi. I know that you have been reverting livescores (as I do) and now I have a question for you. Should we also revert when people in season articles live update "top scorers"-table and "appearance"-table and so on? It must be the same thing there? It is also a live update. Please answer on my talkpage and/or on my newly created WT:FOOTY discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football‎#Live updates (again). I would appreciate any answer. Thank you.

Transfermarkt

Hi. I need your help again. Someone changed source in 2013–14 Arsenal F.C. season‎ on a table from statto.com to transfermarkt.de, I reverted and told him that transfermarkt is not reliable source but he reverted back. I have put up info on the article talkpage about transfermarkt. What should I do next, revert him again? Because transfermarkt is not reliable right? Dont want to edit war.

Infobox stats

Hi, I've seen your recent amendment to the stats displayed in the infobox at Clayton Donaldson, and wanted to let you know these account for league stats only; other competitions are excluded. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Soccerway include play-off matches in their league totals, so you will need to bear that in mind. And if you're going to use Soccerway you will need to cite it somewhere, although using Soccerbase is generally sufficient. And with the Donaldson article, the stats you amended were already correct and were cited season-by-season by Soccerbase in the career stats.
