Soccerway[edit]

Hi, please don't use the external link layout for Soccerway references, like you did here. It was fine as it was. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:16, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bernd Leno, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:36, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dragan Pechmalbec moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Dragan Pechmalbec, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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 draft article, Draft:Dragan Pechmalbec[edit]

Hello, SimplyFreddie. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Dragan Pechmalbec".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:27, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion[edit]

Hi,

I noticed that you put a speedy deletion template on your sandbox. Just wanted to let you know that in the future, if you want to delete your user pages, you can use the template {{u1}}.

Have a nice day,

Infobox timesttamps[edit]

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite (talk) 16:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
