Welcome to WP. I hope you enjoy editing. Kudos for engaging on talk when you have questions about editing. The most important advice I can give is sources a good read of the Identifying reliable sources guideline will greatly facilitate participation in the project. As you are already aware of talk pages you are a good step ahead, when making edits that may be controversial a mention of what you are doing on talk is of great use. It will also provide a forum for you to support your edits. Please have some patience with the community, unfortunately contention and strong points of view are sometimes not well and reasonably argued. The strongest arguments are based on policy and sources. You may want to take a look at some of the WikiProjects based on your area(s) of interest. I am active at WP:WikiProject Medicine and the WP:Fringe theories/Noticeboard. Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Best wishes and happy editing. - - MrBill3 (talk) 21:16, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of 2007 Columbus Crew season for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2007 Columbus Crew season is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2007 Columbus Crew season until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Amortias (T)(C) 00:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Pedro Miguel Martins Santos

Hi there JAY, from Portugal,

please, leave the SC in Columbus' name out of the infobox, for compression purposes. The full name will still appear in the storyline and the introduction, so no problem there.

Attentively, happy editing --Quite A Character (talk) 15:16, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

See? The administrator below told you the same thing, plus i'm willing to reach a compromise (unlike him) and leave the full name in storyline and only compress the box. I give up either way, i leave the article in peace because i don't want to make an edit war out of this. --Quite A Character (talk) 19:59, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

You misinterpreted what he said. It had nothing to do with "compression purposes," and you failed to address the issue I brought up. Jay eyem (talk) 20:09, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Sorry. Which is it (i did incur in a potential misunderstanding when i said the admin "told you the same thing", i admit that, i meant to say he also reverted you) --Quite A Character (talk) 20:47, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Gastón Sauro. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Giant Snowman 17:06, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm confused. There appears to be a precedent set regarding using "Columbus Crew SC" in the infobox rather than "Columbus Crew." Look at every other player other than Sauro and Pedro Santos, who should have had it labeled as "Columbus Crew SC" in the first place. That is what it has been colloquially called since the name change, intended to differentiate itself from the origional team name. See Kei Kamara's infobox as an example of what I'm talking about. Jay eyem (talk) 19:33, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Also, you need to address the issue that has been raised at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Clarification_for_Club_Names_in_Infobox before just reverting my edits as vandalism. It is not vandalism, and is not a violation of either of those[REDACTED] policies that you mentioned. Please confront the problem directly rather than going behind my back, reverting my edits, and threatening to revoke my editing privileges. Jay eyem (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Jay eyem, thanks for your good work. Keep it up. Don't get disappointed just because you have just met one of the most distructive users (Giant(S)No(w)man) in our sphere. Greetings --Huligan0 (talk) 22:41, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages.

KatiBOT (talk) 15:34, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

I know this is a bot, but just for the record all I did was tag it for inclusion in WP:FOOTY. Jay eyem (talk) 15:36, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Never even occurred to me that fake bots were real. Not surprised, but definitely caught off guard. Jay eyem (talk) 21:46, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Hi,

I think Ben Mines first playoff goal is notable also Gonzalo Veron scoring in the last match ever at RFK and his first mls playoff goal, can you add that back? Going forward i understand the notability aspect but since these are unique cases can you undo the changes?

thanks

Elopez76 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elopez76 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Seeing as I, and the rest of the community, disagree with your assessment (including admins), I will not be adding back the text. The only reason I haven’t reverted the edits at Ben Mines again is because I’m trying to avoid an edit war. You need to bring these arguments up at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Football.

January 2018

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Albert Watson (footballer, born 1985), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Giant Snowman 09:09, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

FC Edmonton folded, so naturally he no longer plays for the team. Do I have to find a source that mentions him specifically to demonstrate this? Jay eyem (talk) 14:05, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: 2012 FC Tucson season

Hello Jay eyem. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of 2012 FC Tucson season, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: for regular events held by notable entities, significance is presumed. Thank you. So Why 08:46, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Soccer in Los Angeles

Thanks for your prompt action. Footwiks (talk)

Glad we got things sorted out. The reason I originally redirected the article is just because it was the same material. I wasn't intending to negate the importance of the amateur game, etc. Cheers. Jay eyem (talk) 06:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

El Trafico

Regrettably, I cannot history-merge El Trafico into El Tráfico, for reasons which are explained at WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:42, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

CSOC Team Season Article Template

Hey Jay,

I have begun a template to use for college men's soccer season articles. You can find it here, if you have any ideas to improve the article, be sure to leave a comment on the talk page. Thanks! Quidster4040 (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Your MfD

You have tagged 3 pages as MfD , but there is no deletion discussion page. So what is your plan? Hhkohh (talk) 09:46, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Hhkohh: I'm not real clear on what happened, I'm not super experienced using Twinkle so I don't know that happened or how to fix the issue. I'll try to figure that out soon. Jay eyem (talk) 18:35, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Speaking of these, per my close at Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Wyatt Omsberg, these kinds of pages can usually be redirected or tagged for a history merge without coming to MfD. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:18, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Premeditated Chaos: good to know for the future, thanks. Jay eyem (talk) 19:27, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oka Nikolov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macedonian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Removal of my post

Hello. I am wondering why you removed my post on Portal:Current events/2020 February 7 about an Anti-Vax group causing a boy to die. You used the Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not as your reason to remove the post. I would like to discuss this with you. I consider it to be just notable enough to get a mention on the page, because an Anti-Vaccination group, using Facebook, convinced a mother to basically kill her son. It is almost like a remote murder. Thank you for responding.Elijahandskip (talk) 14:02, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:John Thorrington

Apologies. An iPad isn’t the best editing platform. Kleuske (talk) 16:00, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

@Kleuske: No apology needed, but thank you! I've just been going through a bunch of football articles and re-rating them and I was surprised to see it reverted so quickly lol. Sorry if my tone was harsh! Jay eyem (talk) 16:05, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

FULLY PROFESSIONAL LEAGUES

There has been a lot of discussion over various football task forces about the relevance of applying WP:FPL to Women's teams and Women's players, as this guideline was set up principally for Male players, Male teams, Male competitions. Currently there are only 2 countries with Women's leagues listed as fully professional (England and USA). Therefore to apply this guideline strictly - using Male criteria where professionalism started developing decades earlier - we need to remove literally THOUSANDS of articles for all female soccer/football players who have not played for their national teams, who have not played in the 2 leagues deemed professional. I invite you to research this further and look at these discussions. Matilda Maniac (talk) 00:20, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
