On 23 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jens Ramme, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in his European Cup debut, German football goalkeeper Jens Ramme conceded 6 goals in 45 minutes, turning a 5–1 lead for Dynamo Dresden into a 7–5 defeat? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Materialscientist (talk) 18:04, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Your link didn't show me anything. Also, the table states that it's FIFA-recognized, not the country that recognizes him. Eventually he will show correctly on the FIFA site, so don't worry about the reference, at least not for my sake. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Walter. FIFA is the regulating body, not Turkish football. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:08, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

But I re-iterate what I wrote above: the TFF have to follow FIFA rules, so what they do is a much more reliable guide than a non-comprehensive website. The fact that they have picked him, means he is eligible for them under the rules laid down by FIFA. What happens in the actual game should be followed far more closely than an arbritarily chosen website. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

And I will reiterate what I wrote above: FIFA says he is a German. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The FIFA source is a non-comprehensive page of historical statistics. FIFA says he was German. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I misunderstood your position! I thought this was about being German footballer or Turkish (as in representing a national team); the part about him wanting/going to play for Turkey threw me! I would have look at Zidane's page to see how his heritage is handled. Sorry, my mistake!! Raul17 (talk) 04:03, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

According to FIFA Ekici is a German [1]. I have restored this fact back to the FC Bayern wiki. At some point FIFA will probably update their website and/or his status, but officially he is still classified as a German. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 20:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

That article is not a bible of players' nationalities, it's just statistics for FIFA-competitions. Plenty of players have played for their countries without playing in FIFA competitions (only UEFA, or friendlies, or other confederation), so won't be listed on that page. That page isn't useful for these purposes: Ekici won't be listed there as Turkish until he plays in the finals of a World Cup for them. The nationality flag is to show the nation the player represents, it's very clear. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

To put it another way: FIFA set the rules of players' nationality - who do we think more reliably abides by these rules, a particular part of the website, or a member federation playing international football? ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I hope you don't misunderstand my position; I believe he will be recognized as Turkish at some point by FIFA. I believe you feel this way too and just want to "cut cut to the chase". Am I right? Currently, however, FIFA says he is German. He is both Turkish and German, but what is at issue is that our article should reflect what FIFA is reporting. Can you provide any other examples of national players that FIFA has said is of one nationality, while we claim they are of another? Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The FIFA site to which you refer only lists plays who have played in the tournament finals of FIFA competitions: Ekici will not be recorded as Turkish until/unless he plays in the World Cup Finals. He could score the winning goal in UEFA Euro 2012 and that site will not reflect him being Turkish, because it's not that site's job to do that: it's just a page of historical statistics. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you find one reliable source from FIFA that says he is a Turk? Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:23, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Not direct from FIFA, because he hasn't played for Turkey in a competition directly run by FIFA, but the TFF abide by FIFA's rules, International Friendlies abide by their rules, so that's pretty clear and unambiguous evidence. This is something that's actually happened under the auspices of FIFA, and the fact that their website hasn't covered it shouldn't stop us reflecting that. I don't see why the reference has to come from the absolute top, FIFA's website is just one of many, and it isn't fully comprehensive. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Here's an example for you: René Schneider won the European championship with Germany in 1996, but only won one cap. It wasn't in a World Cup game, so he isn't listed by FIFA at all. So what then? It shows at the very least that Ekici's change will not necessarily be represented if it goes far enough. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:40, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Or Nikola Nikezic: Played for Serbia and Montenegro in the 2004 Olympics before Montenegro broke away, now a Montenegrin international, but listed as Serbian by FIFA because he didn't play in the World Cup. [2]. I can't see that by any definition he is Serbian, except historically - and all that site is is a historical site. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 23:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Neither of these examples is comparable to the subject at hand. RE; Rene Schneider (the footballer, not the Chilean) was apparently German and nobody is aruging over a dissolved country. If he was listed as an "East German" then I would tend to agree with you, but that is not the case here. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The Nikezic thing is directly comparable - the circumstances of his change in nationality may be different, but it proves my point: that that particular part of the FIFA website is not a reliable source, because it is not fully comprehensive and up-to-date and nor does it seek to be - you cannot use it as a reference, and certainly you can't hold it up as the only useful reference. A change in national borders is one way in which players can change nationality - it's a more egregious example, but that proves my point: if we follow these rules for Ekici completely and trust only this irrelevant section of the FIFA website, then you can only conclude that Nikezic is clearly Serbian - but clearly he is not. Agsin, the question is this: what is more reliable, a national football federation that comes under FIFA and obeys by its rules and the matches that it plays under those rules, or a section of the FIFA website that makes no intention of being fully comprehensive or up-to-date? ArtVandelay13 (talk) 00:00, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Take a look at this [3]. Specifically, take a look at Mario Gomez. There is a dual Spanish and German flag. What if we do the same for Ekici here? Would that be an acceptable compromise to you? Erikeltic ^(Talk) 23:56, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't mind that, but the template doesn't allow for it. In any case there'd only be the same dispute over which is the primary flag, but the whole point of showing a player's nationality is to show who the player represents (or would represent). In Ekici's case, that's Turkish. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 00:03, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

We have not reached a consensus, the examples you provided are not relevant or comparable, and regardless of what you believe FIFA is the governing body and they classify him as German. (period) I suggest we A) refrain from modifying this article until consensus is reached and B) involve other editors in this disucssion--which should be taking place on the talk page of the article. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 12:28, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I copied this entire discussion to the FCB talk page. Let's continue it there. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 12:34, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Rainer Baumann. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

On 1 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Willy Tröger, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi, I have a question about your edit in Thomas Müller. Template:Infobox football biography 2 says about medaltemplates:

Olympic medal templates can be added here. See {{MedalOlympics}} for a list of templates. MedalTop and MedalBottom are not needed.

I don't think that this parameter is intended for non-olympic honors or has this been changed without updating the documentation? --Jaellee (talk) 21:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I have (in rare cases) reverted similar edits referring to these two sentences. If you want to use this parameter for non-olympic honors, I don't disagree in principle. But I think that this is quite a change from standard practice for infoboxes and you should have consensus from the football community for this. I would really like know the general opinion on this before starting to change infoboxes. --Jaellee (talk) 22:18, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

THe Route Infoboxes were primarily developed for US lines that have simple route map templates. The UK (Scottish) Route Map templates have been developed way beyond the capabilty of the infobox to handle:

• Many are too wide (for example North Clyde Line)
• Use of the right justified small italic text avaiable in the BS templates becomes unreadable
• You will not that the word Legend appears above and below the title box. This is because the BS-header template is not entirely compatible with the line infobox. probably a minor incompatibility issue with {{infobox rdt}}.

Single line templates, such as Whifflet Line and Maryhill Line will work (I think anything that does not go above {{BS4}} will probably work) except for the double incidence of the Legend as mentioned above. Can I suggest that for these reasons you consider the appropriateness of route map templates into the infobox, before adding. --Stewart ^{(talk | edits)} 20:27, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Overall, I disagree with this rule. However, I do agree when using both the city and club. Kingjeff (talk) 23:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Henryk Lihsa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wilbysuffolk talk 08:23, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

The article Marco Zernicke has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

This is a note to let the main editors of Liverpool F.C. know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 15, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 15, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Liverpool Football Club is an English Premier League football club based in Liverpool. It has played at its home ground, Anfield, since its founding in 1892. The club has won eighteen League titles, the second most in English football, as well as seven FA Cups and a record eight League Cups. It has also won more European titles than any other English club, with five European Cups, three UEFA Cups and three Super Cups. The most successful period in Liverpool's history was the 1970s and 1980s, when the club won numerous honours both domestically and in Europe. The club's supporters have been involved in two major tragedies: the first was the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985, in which charging Liverpool fans caused a wall to collapse, killing 39 Juventus supporters. In the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, 96 Liverpool supporters died in a crush against perimeter fencing. Liverpool have long-standing rivalries with city neighbours Everton and with Manchester United. The team has played in an all-red home strip since 1964, and its anthem is "You'll Never Walk Alone". (more...)

A tag has been placed on File:Kit left arm three white left shoulder stripes.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Nikthestoned 15:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm a little surprised that you reverted my edit here when the next step should be taking it to the talk page. But that's OK, I've started a discussion on the talk page in order to hash it out there. I'm notifying the original editor who uploaded and inserted the image as well. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 23:15, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello again. Thanks for resizing the image at the Ambivalence article -- regardless of its value it was far too large for the article. However, I still do not see how it unambiguously represents ambivalence. It still looks like a joke. I've actually reported this to ANI here. It's not about you but about the original editor who added the image and the ongoing conflict with him and his friends. Just thought I'd let you know. SQGibbon (talk) 22:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ambivalence 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. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, ArtVandelay13. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Adolphus Ofodile, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Starship9000 (talk) 20:04, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello ArtVandelay

The list of EuroCity trains has been moved to a separate article. This means that a reader doesn't has an overview any more without leaving the article. Moreover the new list seems to serve trainspotters at border crossings. The list that was included in this article mentioned every name once, what makes sense for readers not knowing which EuroCitys exist(ed) and are looking for their routes and period of operation. The new listing wrongly assumes that the reader already knows the route of a specific train. In case you already know the specific route you can find the train at one or more routes, this is not very helpful for someone who is looking for info about EuroCity services. Many times the links in the new table don't provide info regarding the specific train but are linked to the subject the train's name was derived from. I would like to propose restoring the list of names and keep the new table as EuroCities per route. It is a good list for those wanting to study specific routes, but despite the effort to make it, it isn't an overview of EuroCity services.--JB63 (talk) 17:14, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

The fact was ... that German footballer Michael Petry made his professional debut aged 36, and scored within two minutes of coming on the pitch? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Michael Petry (footballer). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

• Note: DYK-nominated articles need to have at least one inline source citation per paragraph in the body of the article, but two of the four paragraphs are uncited. I don't imagine it should be difficult to add these sources, at which point the article should be ready for approval. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited It's Kevin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rufus Jones (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.
