Welcome

Hi, welcome to Transnistria, the greatest sockpuppetry playground in the whole of Wikipedia! Sorry, but can I ask whose sockpuppet you would be...? ;-)

Hmmmm, well,.... sorry for "biting the newcomers"; if you're in fact a genuine newcomer then I hope you'll accept my apologies. But still, I can't help feeling that you are not quite as new to this game as you want to make it appear. We're all a bit paranoid about sockpuppets over at that article, of course. We've just been seeing too many of them, you know. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the recent edit you made to Statistical survey has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Waggers (talk) 11:26, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

You're right, my apologies. Waggers (talk) 11:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate the work you've done on the Stanford Super Series articles. As an american, it's hard to keep up on these things, (even if I am a bit of a cricket fan :D). SirFozzie (talk) 23:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

1986 FIFA World Cup Final

I don't understand why you had to make those edits to that article. Couldn't you have done those in your sandbox? – PeeJay 12:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries, mate. I understand where you're coming from. I hope you don't mind but I've been through the article and given it a proper shakedown in terms of spelling, links, etc. Should be almost worthy of B-Class now. – PeeJay 13:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

"Hand of God" image

Just a quick note - since File:Hand of God goal.jpg‎ is a non-free image (especially since it's a wire service image, so it's a commercial product in and of itself), and should not be used in the infobox, or anywhere other than the discussion of the photograph (WP:NFCC#8 and all that). Otherwise, thanks for your work on the England v Argentina article. Cheers. --Mosmof (talk) 14:14, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Blocked account as compromised

I have blocked this account following a bout of vandalism from an account that previously made thousands of constructive edits. If I am mistaken in this assumption, please explain why this happened. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:22, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

NewcastleGateshead

Inclusion of venues of training facilities seems to be placing an Anglocentric emphasis that is not found in the summary of the other bids: the cited article from the BBC makes no mention of Gateshead. Other bids have regional implications: the region, or made-up-compound-brand-name, is not the proposed venue. I would ask you to reconsider. Kevin McE (talk) 10:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks / Some more "enlightment"

Hi there GREEN, VASCO here,

Thanks very much for your input here (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#POV_or_not_POV), sincerely. My writing style is indeed close to journalese, but not in a POVish way i hope, i am only trying to help. I know this is an encyclopedia, but i thought a little of "free writing" would be encouraged. I'm not a big fan of the "machine-like" writing i often found in articles stating: "In 2006, he signed with x team, scoring y goals. In 2007, he signed for z team, scoring k goals...so on, so on".

With the utmost respect for your work, i do have to say i don't understand why all the "citation needed" bits in the Alan Osório da Costa Silva article, when the POV is all but gone (saying he was a "key element" in V.Guimarães, when he played in 29 out of 30 games and the team finished third out of the second division requires citation? Clicking in both links show he shared team with R.Quaresma, an established Portuguese international - i removed CN tag in that one only - hope it's OK - after rephrasing it duly. Also, the games where he scored this or that goal in this or that game all appear in LINK#1 (zerozerofootball.com), i just don't see the point of "doubling" same source as link and ref). I am really at a loss, honestly. Attentively, have a great weekend, from Portugal - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Formula One tables

Of course, there's no reason why this couldn't be applied for years since the drop-worst rule appeared and not previously. There is reason. If we add it in, then sooner or later someone will apply it to other years affected by dropped scores. Then we have an extended edit war. --Falcadore (talk) 14:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
