	Merry Christmas Eem dik doun in toene
	Hi Eem dik doun in toene, just wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia this year. Here's to 2021 being a bit brighter for all!    –Kosack (talk) 15:32, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kosack Thank you very much! I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care and all the best, WA8MTWAYC (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WA8MTWAYC, just a quick note to thank you for your reviews and supports of my various bits and pieces. I've decided to withdraw from FAC for the time being, there has been a series of toxic exchanges, some rather "unusual" coincidences and certainly some "unfortunate" decision-making. Combined with the ongoing snark and back-channelling and dismissive comments about the way I (and some others) approach both nominations and reviews, it's making me too ill to participate. So I've withdrawn the FAC you were kind enough to review and support, with apologies for wasting your time. I will continue to try to help wherever I can, but while the atmosphere of "all contributors are equal, some are more equal than others" persists, I can't afford to risk my health with it. Thanks again for your interest, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help away from that "process" and those individuals. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:24, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say nice job improving the article and good luck in the FAC. I couldn't quite get it over the line all those years ago, but it's looking great now. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I don't have loads of free time to help out, but I do have a Lancashire Library membership if you want me to look up anything in particular. They have a local newspaper archive going back to the 1850s. BigDom (talk) 19:56, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on achieving FA with this article. Really the credit is all yours, I'm happy I could help. Thankyou on behalf of the people of Burnley for this and your other work about the football club. I'm sure the fans appreciate it also, but as they're only my 2nd favourite team, I can't really speak on their behalf. It has been good working with you, hope we can do it again sometime. All the best! TiB chat 13:55, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:WA8MTWAYC. Inspired by your efforts to get Burnley F.C. to featured status, I've been working to improve the Crewe Alexandra F.C. article. I think it is currently B-class, but I would like to eventually at least get it to Good, so I've requested a peer review (first time I've ever done this, so it's all a bit unfamiliar to me). I hope you might be able to help on this. Many thanks. Paul W (talk) 11:56, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your detailed comments on the article. I think I have addressed the points made, but will keep the review open for a week or so. Do you think this could be a GAN candidate? Paul W (talk) 09:12, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

One year!

Hi there. I took this article to FAC about 12 years ago now, but it failed despite several support votes as one user opposed on essentially WP:PROSELINE grounds (which I strongly disagreed with). I think at the time that no sports season article had ever been promoted to FA so people weren't sure about it, but now there is precedent (such as your excellent 1959–60 article) I'm thinking of taking it back and have added some extra content. There was no book written about the 1921 team so it's a bit pieced together from newspaper archives and the Simpson book, but I'm pretty happy with how it's come together. I wondered if you wouldn't mind having a read through just to see if there's any potential FAC issues you think are glaringly obvious? No rush of course, just if you have a bit of time. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 19:27, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BigDom, good to see your name again, and thanks for the kind words. Burnley fan Mike Smith has since written a book about Tommy Boyle (which I don't own). It maybe contains some decent info but I see you've already done a great job with the newspaper archive and the Simpson book. The article looks worth having a shot at FAC as far as I can see, but I'll make some amends and leave some comments soon. If there's anything else I can do, I'm glad to help. Thanks, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 06:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. The FAC for this article is still running; Ian Rose has asked for a reference for the table of transfers in and out. I assume it came from the Clarets Chronicles but I don't have access to my copy at the moment, do you have one? If so, and the transfers are listed in there, would you be able to let me know the page number (or feel free to just add it to the article yourself). No worries if not though. Cheers, BigDom (talk) 06:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dom, I've got the book. The players who played for the club between 1919 and 1939 are alphabetically listed on pp. 492-494 (including their birth places, and prev. and following clubs). Thanks, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 08:28, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thanks for getting back so quickly! BigDom (talk) 09:07, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop doing vandalism in this page. There is important information that needs to be changed immediately. for example the oficial colors of the club (blue and garnet). I have added official references from the club itself. Regarding the sponsors, the table is incomplete and with some mistakes. Vicpumu (talk) 06:45, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vicpumu The FC Barcelona article is of FA quality, which means a high standard should be maintained. "Traditionally and for over 100 years, the colours blue and garnet have come together on the shirts of Barcelona players and this is why the Club is also known as the equip blaugrana (blue and garnet team)" is not correct English. Also, references shouldn't be used in the lead as it's supposed to be a summary of the body of the article. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 06:51, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I’m reviewing this section. Vicpumu (talk) 07:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Traditionally and for over 100 years, Barcelona players wear dark-toned equipment with blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed "Blaugrana team". Vicpumu (talk) 07:40, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am wondering if you can provide any additional context on your recent large reverts -- labeled variants of "Rv most of the contributions from a sockpuppet (twice confirmed)". What is the sockpuppet and is this effort discussed somewhere? Caleb Stanford (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Caleb, I've reverted some of the contributions of a confirmed sockpuppet - see the users/confirmations here: [3][4] (not to mention the enourmous use of different IP Addresses). This user clearly has an unhealthy obsession with promoting the Netherlands (WP is not a hagiography), which led to massive WP:POV and WP:SYNTH issues. The user has been reverted and warned multiple times during his editing, but several pages are still "infected". A Korean IP Address caught my eye last week, who was already reverting some of his contributions: [5] (and no, it's not me using an IP Address, as I don't have VPN;)) Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 19:07, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saw that you reviewed another FAC recently. Would you be so kind as to offer a review for this article? Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Texas_A&M_University/archive3? Buffs (talk) 16:43, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Buffs, looking at that FAC page, it looks like there are still some points left to address before I can start a review. After a quick glance through the article, I would suggest to make sure everything is properly sourced, and to avoid having small unsourced paragraphs like the one under "Mascot". Good luck, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 17:20, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe every point has been either addressed or I've asked an (unanswered) clarifying question. If you disagree or would be willing to further clarify, I'd be happy to address those points too. Buffs (talk) 23:18, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jimfbleak, I'll check the main page text but at first glance it looks good. This is a great season to catch a Burnley home game as Vincent Kompany has transformed the club. Even for a neutral, Burnley's style of play is quite enjoyable to watch (unlike previous seasons, albeit successful years...).

Hi

I was wondering what was going on when you made this revision, and caused so much peacocking and obvious POV to be reinstated into the article? If you are wondering what I mean, you seem to have changed a perfectly good lead into a biased section full of words and phrases such as "considered to have been the first multinational corporation", "eclipsed", "sent only", "distant second", "mere one-fifth" - most of which is peacocking.

The previous lead seems to have been pretty stable over the previous couple of years - so could you also explain to me how you arrived at that particular version of the lead to retore it to? I do not seem to be able to find where that was in the page history.

Can you please also tell me where I can read about the sockpuppetry that you mention. Chaosdruid (talk) 14:02, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chaosdruid, I've removed (most of) the contributions of Hocimi and his sockpuppets as I decided to be WP:BOLD and remove the user's nationalistic and biased additions. I believe I restored the lede's version from before the sockpuppet was active, so defo before 2016. I hope this clears it all up. Cheers, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 21:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eem dik doun in toene Thanks for that, I've read up on their shenannigans ... I'll try and sort out the lead a little - my concern being that it currently is a little too nationalistic. I'll try and get some of the good stuff out of the lead-that-was, as some of those older refs are gone. Cheers for the info, it's been a long time since I heard anyone say "defo" lol ;¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 22:30, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chaosdruid Hahaha, no problem. I agree the current lede is glorifying and sugarcoating the company's history - e.g. the second paragraph is just not that relevant and reads like a "my dad is bigger than your dad" competition. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yesterday I edited a lot of the SV Werder Bremen page, most of which you have now reverted: "The history section should be a potted summary, most finishing positions are not relevant. It was unsourced, and the book missed page numbers. There was also some OR (e.g., "defining an era") and uncyclopedic language (e.g., "retaining their crown")."

I am new to editing Wiki so I will defer to your judgment, especially on some of the language which you are definitely right about. However I would like to to ask a few things about it. How detailed is the history section supposed to be? Most football clubs the size of Werder Bremen have much more detailed history sections on their pages. For example, on the current page the 03/04 season has just one sentence - by way of comparison, the German page is far larger.

Nothing that I added was unsourced, so I am a bit confused by that although I realise that I didn't add the page numbers in the references. Looking at the current page most of the references are just links to the league table from a particular season. I respect your judgment but I want to understand what kind of thing I should be doing, because a lot of German football pages are far more limited than other football pages.

LOfussball (talk) 08:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LOfussball, the general history section of a football club should only contain highlights/important events and should thus be a canned summary. More detailed summaries of events should be placed in an overall history article such as History of Burnley F.C.. The German Werder page is impressive, but does not really look readable with so much text there. Some of the articles of the highest quality on here, such as Gillingham F.C. and Luton Town F.C., have rather small history sections in comparison to articles of lesser quality such as Portsmouth F.C. and Scunthorpe United F.C.. The German wiki (and the Dutch one as well) seem to have different rules; the German one seems to be more focussed on quantity, while the English one seems to be more focussed on quality.

With regard to the sourcing, all information (and it doesn't really matter if it's "general knowledge"), should be verifiable, i.e., should be followed by an inline citation. E.g., on the Burnley F.C. page, "The team were relegated to the Third Division for the first time in 1979–80." is followed by an inline citation (number 7). All information of this sentence can be found in that reference. For more inspiration and maybe in general how a football club article should be built, you can check out how it's done on featured articles such as Cardiff City F.C. and A.C. Monza.

The current sourcing on the Werder is not that great, I must admit, as e.g., "Werder reached the DFB-Pokal final in 1989 and 1990, and were victorious in 1991. They also won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991–92, beating AS Monaco 2–0 in the final." is only followed by one reference, supporting the latter part of the sentence. That Werder won the DFB Pokal back-to-back might be general knowledge, but does not have a reference supporting it.

I agree that almost all of the (West) German football pages are lacking in quality and even in quality in most cases, so it's good you want to address it. Good luck and happy editing! Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 09:25, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. If I were to redo my edits, but with improved writing and sourcing, how much would you keep on the page? If you don't have any detail, it effectively becomes an honours list. What I don't like with the current article is that it seems fairly inconsistent with what has detail; there's a whole paragraph on a fairly insignificant incident in one match in 1971, and lots about a European tie with Napoli, but not much about things that may be more important like the titles.

Other two questions: is it strictly necessary to put a reference for every league position or cup run mentioned, when this is well documented in the sources already referenced, and elsewhere in the page?

And if the stuff I added is too much for the page, should there be a specific History of Werder Bremen page? LOfussball (talk) 18:09, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

LOfussball No worries. Looking at the current state of the Werder page, I don't think that much has to be changed, maybe some additional info here and there (like you mentioned, with regard to some of the titles), and the addition of some extra sources, but no complete overhaul. I would leave most as it is.

Ideally, every piece of info is sourced, and you can reuse references throughout the article of course. Also, the end of every paragraph needs to be followed by an inline reference.

It would not be a bad idea to create a History of SV Werder Bremen page, it would only improve the overall quality in my opinion. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 19:34, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sviraman, no worries! If you want, you can add it in again yourself. Cheers, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 14:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article 1914 FA Cup final you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:1914 FA Cup final for comments about the article, and Talk:1914 FA Cup final/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hello, I understand what you said earlier, but without my edit, Higuain's line is broken. (On mobile app at least) Spectritus (talk) 13:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spectritus, I checked the page on both the PC and mobile phone (via Google) but it seems fine now. What exactly do you see on Higuain's line? Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 13:34, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His line is offset and there's no rank. Spectritus (talk) 15:35, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Spectritus Hmm that is odd. Do you use the Wikipedia app on your phone? (On the Google browser on the phone it is fine.) Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 15:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I use the mobile app. Spectritus (talk) 21:23, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine on the computer website. Spectritus (talk) 21:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How was the previous version better, especially in terms of sources? A smear fake news website is not a better source than FIFAs official document from their website on world championships of 24 and 28 Truefacts24 (talk) 12:07, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Truefacts24, "Uruguayfootballhistory" and a Twitter page are not reliable sources. ESPN and El Grafico are, because they are fact-checked. The Twitter page might display correct information, but Twitter (the website itself) is just not reliable. I also don't know which source you think is a "smear fake news website". The current version of the Uruguay page seems good to me. People can read that they have won 4 world titles, of which two FIFA World Cups and twice the Olympics. The page also wikilinks the four stars page, on which I also reverted your edits as the tags (e.g., primary sources) aren't solved yet. Cheers, Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 12:19, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the most important reference I’m referring to ^[1]. The x page shows a picture from the FIFA museum which is widely considered not disputable, I used that particular account on x because various FIFA website articles also use that account, who is a historian, as a source as you can see here^[2]. If it’s good enough for FIFA, it’s good enough for a Wikipedia page about something run by fifa.

The first source in that is from a website called marca, that’s the fake news website, not a source. Truefacts24 (talk) 12:43, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
