Importance ratings[edit]
Hello, welcome, and thanks for updating footballers' importance ratings. But perhaps you might want another look at the assessment criteria? You rated both Oleh Luzhnyi and Igors Stepanovs as low, when they have 60 and 100 international caps respectively, which is stonewall Mid importance for the football project. Keep up the good work, but maybe slow down a bit... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- What you can do, if you think the player's overall assessment should be different from his importance to Arsenal, is put "importance=Mid" (say) but instead of just "Arsenal=yes", put "Arsenal=Low", which puts the article into the Category:Low-importance Arsenal F.C. articles but keeps it in the Category:Mid-importance football articles. Like I just did with Igors Stepanovs. hope this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Edits[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Arsène Wenger. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Limefrost Spiral (talk) 17:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Arsène Wenger 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. DO NOT REVERT ON THIS PAGE AGAIN. You are already in violation several times of the WP:3RR. If you revert again, you WILL be reported and blocked. You DO NOT own the article, you HAVE to use the talk page for consensus.

Invite to the African Destubathon[edit]
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
