February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Maurice Deville, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. Giant Snowman 15:21, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edits such as this, where you don't add anything to an article other than a space, are not reccomended. Of the two sources given, problems exist with both - this confirms national youth team appearances in qualifying matches only, not friendlies, so is not complete, while this is a dead link i.e. doesn't exist. Regards, Giant Snowman 15:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transfermarkt is not a reliable source - it can be edited by anyone. Giant Snowman 16:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Transfermarkt

Hi there, good job on removing incorrect information on the Maurice Deville article - Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Regards, Giant Snowman 21:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stats in football players's infoboxes

Hi, please remember to update also the pcupdate parameter when you are updating the stats in football players's infoboxes (like you did here). Thanks. --Jaellee (talk) 18:44, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please update the pcupdate parameter.[1] You are just putting errors in infoboxes. --Jaellee (talk) 21:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Azer Aliyev, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hovhannes Nazaryan moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hovhannes Nazaryan, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It should have at least 3 of those. Please remember that routine sports coverage does not satisfy GNG, and that interviews, being primary sources, do not go to notability either. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hovhannes Nazaryan (April 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Oltrepier was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Your initial draft looked fine, and I fixed several structural mistakes by myself, but you definitely need to replace some of the citations you used with third-party sources: for example, try to look for sport/football portals that refer to the same events without being directly associated to the player (as the Armenian Federation's website and Noah's profile do). On a side note, have Noah and Shirak got official websites, too? Try to get the necessary information from there, if you can, as they're generally better than Facebook posts...

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hovhannes Nazaryan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Oltrepier (talk) 17:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment both clubs do not have websites. Noah has always done this - they are active on facebook and instagram, I don't remember them having a website. Shirak's site is not available now, but they are active on Facebook, this replaces their website, plus the audience in Armenia has Facebook as the most popular social network. In both cases, these are the official public pages of the clubs. I have never referred to the website of the Armenian Football Federation. Sports media (interfootball.am., sport.news.am) wrote their news referring to them as a source, which I pointed out, perhaps this is not correct. I'm deeply sorry, could you be more specific about which links need to be replaced? This is my first article writing experience. Several others (also players of the Armenian national team) were approved, I did not notice the difference between them. EddyBenoit (talk) 18:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay, thank you for clarifying it.

If the sites you cited host official match reports, too, try to use their links in order to replace Soccerway, most specifically, at the start of the "Club career" section and in the "Honours" section. That portal is good and generally reliable, but it doesn't make much sense to use it there, to be honest...

Also, if you're looking for some advice about citations, maybe this guide could be useful.

I hope this helps! Oltrepier (talk) 19:02, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, EddyBenoit! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Joël Damahou, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners.

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Eduards Emsis article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. Giant Snowman 18:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He was part of the team that won these two trophies, which is evident when you open the protocols of these matches. There is even a separate article in Russian about his participation in the final of the Armenian Cup, and about his participation in the Super Cup there is a note on the website of the Football Federation of Armenia.
