Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Liu1126 (talk) 07:31, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Futsal logo

Can you explain why you reverted the Futsal World Cup logo? ILoveSport2006 (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yours has many blank spaces, also too big. When the bot shrinks it, the logo itself (excluding the blank spaces) is smaller. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 19:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think your logo has too little space and looks a bit untidy. Is there any way we can get the Futsal World Cup logo without the background similar to the other logos for FIFA competitions? ILoveSport2006 (talk) 19:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have not found that logo with either transparent background or dark texts, therefore this is the best for now. Same with the U-20 WWC. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 19:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.png

Thanks for uploading File:2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Second inauguration of Donald Trump. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Coppa Italia final

Please do not change players position. See pdf final report for line-up positions. Image will be fixed. Island92 (talk) 22:26, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All based on https://img.legaseriea.it/vimages/68250f90/2024-25_CPITA_FINAL_UNI_1_MILBOL_ENG.pdf and attached match report https://www.legaseriea.it/en/match/winner-match-41-winner-match-42-coppa-italia-final, both formations and squad numbers which you got wrong at. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 22:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Positions were correct once I informed @S.A. Julio: for the image to be adjusted per final pdf report. You changed positions as well as numbers. Now all fixed. There is no rush needed here. Island92 (talk) 22:57, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing on 2025 UEFA Nations League final

As with many of your contributions on the European finals this season, you did not source any of the information you added to 2025 UEFA Nations League final. Please keep in mind WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NOR apply; claims on Wikipedia need to be supported by credible sources. As much as I trust you're correct in asserting the Nations League final is the 41st Iberian Derby, this needs to be backed up by a reference. Therefore I have removed the information for the time being, and can be restored with a reliable source. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 00:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OTD for July 15

Hi, thanks for editing the July 14 and July 15 page for WP:OTD. I see that you are moving around a lot of hooks, even though I swapped the hooks for 2025 a couple days ago. Are you interested in helping with the project? If so, I suggest looking at the "View History" tab first to ensure that an editor hasn't moved around the hooks yet, so that work is not duplicated. I might take a look at pages you have edits already to ensure that the articles you selected are eligible to be on the Main page. Let me know if you have any questions and happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I might want to help, but just because I am now quite not busy as I usually do. Would help if I have time. I have always looked at the articles I added to see if there is any notices. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 17:26, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help in OTD. Just note that articles with yellow or orange banners, or with lots of uncited text, cannot be in OTD sets. See WP:OTDRULES for the criteria for inclusion for OTD. Let me know if there are any questions. Z1720 (talk) 16:38, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your help with OTD. Just noting here that OTD gives preference to people and events with a centennial birthday, which is why I reverted your edit to July 29. Also, OTD doesn't require two births and two deaths per day: WP:OTD just says to include births and deaths, males and females, and general variety of careers and geographic location: there's no need to ensure that there are even numbers of everything. Let me know if there are any questions! Z1720 (talk) 03:49, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are many dates with all four births, also some missed centenary, such as on July 10 with Mahathir Mohamad. I only added his name after realizing his 100th birthday a few days later. And your revert on July 29 made B-D with no female representation, which I have restored. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 05:24, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updates

We do not post live updates per WP:LIVESCORES. Just wait for the games to finish, thanks. Kante4 (talk) 16:02, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see this and you getting reverted by another user aswell. This is disruptive editing against consensus, please stop that. Kante4 (talk) 16:09, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is any differences between finished basketball quarters and finished games in tennis and badminton, seen here and here, all of which were already stable and thus not exactly live report. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 16:23, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should have been reverted. A match is "live" until it is finished, so no quarter score, half time score or so should be entered. If you disagree you can start a discussion at the correct venue of course. Kante4 (talk) 16:42, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From what I saw I think that has been the usual practice in both racquet sports for a long time. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 16:53, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Which does not make it correct. Some editors (more the newer ones) don't know about that policy. Kante4 (talk) 16:57, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

July 2025

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Repeatedly: duplicating cite template parameters, removing appropriate links, adding web addresses, and de-abbreviating, is all unnecessary. The first three behaviours are highly discouraged and generally reverted on-sight. The latter also makes it harder to read and therefore use a citation. Why you've taken it upon yourself to do this thankless worsening of the encyclopedia, I don't know, but cut it out. And it's beyond laughable that you call users cleaning up your garbage editing vandals. Kingsif (talk) 00:23, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. It is you who needs to stop. You have provide absolutely no reason and have always refused any discussion. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 00:29, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you unable to read edit reasons? You haven't asked for discussions. What the hell are you on about. Kingsif (talk) 00:30, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, you just reverted without any edit summary, those are refusal to discussion. It was User:S.A. Julio who have always done the "Union" thing, since like forever. And why do you need to add Final (competition) to the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final, screamed WP:OVERLINK to me. And saying that Finalissima is major tournament is a nonsense, sounds like you cannot differ major tournament or not. A major tournament is not just one-off game, same with UEFA Super Cup and FA Community Shield, not even when teams play two games to win, like the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. Ask User:S.A. Julio. And Special:Diff/1303266942 is WP:PA so look in the mirror. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 00:39, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1. I linked the diff below with an explanation, for one of your edits. I've also explained this in the past with Julio. Being told what's wrong with an edit, you should listen and not repeat it elsewhere. 2. I didn't add anything, I literally just reverted to the previous version - and FWIW, your edit adding a wikilink to "football". Is that not OVERLINK to you. 3. Finalissima is different from all those others, not least because it's between international teams rather than clubs for the cash. The fact that it's beyond the continental tournament but, most importantly, UEFA and CONMEBOL both consider it a major tournament does indeed make it so. 4. No, I won't just ask Julio about everything, pointing me to your mate is not how you get out of behaving like this. Kingsif (talk) 00:48, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is how things are, see UEFA Euro 2024 final and 2026 UEFA Champions League final, you wanna edit those too? Julio did that, not me. I have always following his examples, including the "Union" thing (Special:Diff/1293241474) that you said "whoever keeps doing this with UEFA refs across Wikipedia needs to stop already. it's garbage levels of excess text and very clearly worse in general". Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 01:10, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have always following his examples - Again, it's not a suitable defense for not listening to explanations, to say that you are simply copying another user's editing. You take on responsibility for all your own edits, and as you noted at Julio's talk page when you went to complain about me, I have reverted them doing this in the past, too, and have explained it. If you knew this already, why are you still copying the edits you know have been challenged? And yes, I would edit those other articles, too. As you said, you know I've removed this in all instances, not just with you. Speaking of the edit reason of mine you quote here, that is probably referring to Julio, if he has been doing this longer than you, and I think you're aware of that? Kingsif (talk) 01:20, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Diff - from before your immaturity. See, I provide edit reasons that fully explain what I do. You don't use edit reasons and go report people as soon as they don't let you do whatever you like. Kingsif (talk) 00:35, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Erasing the warning on your talk page is another sign of refusal to discuss. Hence, I suggest to look in the mirror again. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 00:43, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Removing clearly silly warnings is commonplace. And reminder that you have never asked for a discussion: you literally ignored my edit reason explanation, reverted my next edit by calling it vandalism from the very start, edit warred without any explanation in your defense, whined to your mate, then went to a noticeboard for 'clear vandals'. Someone here needs a mirror and it's not me. Kingsif (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute lie. I did not call any vandalism from the "very start" unless it is a clear one, and on neither page I said so. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 01:01, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will assume you have simply forgotten. This was my first edit to the content in question. This is the very next edit: you calling my edit "vandalism". You could have used that edit reason to ask why, to explain your edit, even to call out my lack of an edit reason in that instance, but you went straight to ad hominem. Kingsif (talk) 01:15, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My first edit was this. That was already the third. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 01:22, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure, but I was referring to your first after when I got involved - which is surely obvious? It can't be from the start of the issue if it's before the issue. Kingsif (talk) 01:36, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

August 2025

Do NOT continue to make edits you know are bad. What is the point mate, why are you insisting on making references twice as long and harder to read. And why have you suddenly decided to add irrelevant info to the leads of articles. Your edit reasons say you're 'fix'ing them, and if you actually think you are, you might want to read Wikipedia a bit more before editing. Kingsif (talk) 14:19, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You insist on adding Final (competition), is it good edit? You insist to have moot parameter in language=en, is that good edit? Of course those nonsenses are good because those are your edits, whatever real fixes I did are bad edits. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 14:39, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very ironic from someone who insists on wikilinking football and adding moot parameters in author= and website= (while also taking the single piece of info for that and making it worse and less accessible in both cases)!

But you are also perfectly aware that I do not insist on those things; I revert your objectively bad edits to a stable version edited by the community which has small things that could be improved but aren't actively bad. Nothing you have edited in these article are fixes. In fact, they fly in the face of MOS. Again, if you don't know this, learn before editing. Kingsif (talk) 15:11, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When your edit is automatically tagged for prose issues, is it a good edit? Kingsif (talk) 15:13, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Possible". All of my edits are bad, and all of yours are perfect and shall never be disputed nor fixed. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 15:20, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mate, you know I have never suggested that - you are the only one who brings up 'my' edits, which are simply correcting yours and therefore aren't even content edits to be disputed or fixed. This is about your poor edits and arrogant behaviour, and trying to ignore criticism by throwing shit at me isn't going to stick.

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. This and this are deliberately misleading edit summaries to deliberately hide edits to the lead that you have previously been informed - at this talkpage, at another article, and at the article in question - goes against MOS. How many times do you need to be told. Kingsif (talk) 16:22, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Henning Berg, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Per MOS:NOPIPE. Mattythewhite (talk) 12:23, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Honorific nicknames in popular music. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 04:28, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I asked politely and you accused me this, remind you I have not violated WP:3RR. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 04:29, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you're edit is reverted, gain consensus before re-adding it, or else it is considered disruptive editing. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made, and you can still be blocked without violating 3RR. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 04:34, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Huh? As far as I recall, I have never opened the article even once before you issue this warning. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 06:03, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You just called someone a "pro-Iran editor" for an edit they made over a Hamas attack in Israel. That is very much related to the Arab–Israeli conflict. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 06:07, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently made edits related to post-1978 Iranian politics. This is a standard message to inform you that post-1978 Iranian politics is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

September 2025

Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did at 2025–26 Manchester United F.C. season, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Specifically, here. Even if you disagree with the edits, please do not label the edits as "vandalism". Alpha Beta Delta Lambda (talk) 18:09, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The two editors never agree on something, one of them never replied. At the other hand, I got two editors who disagreed with KyleRGiggs thanked me for returning the old format, User:Steveo1980 and User:Erkatta11, thus rendering your argument of soft consensus invalid, because it was only KyleRGiggs who wanted the footballbox. If you don't believe me, you can ask them yourself, whether my claim of them thanking me is true. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 23:46, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that I am all for the old format, I left a message in the talk section of the page as well. It looks more concise, clear and classy and we've used it for years. No one cares what other teams' pages look like. Erkatta11 (talk) 12:39, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in agreement the old format is preferred. It seems our page has been subject to a lot of vandalism of late. Steveo1980 (talk) 10:17, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because it won't be shown on English Wikipedia anyway, so I shorten them. Saving a lot of spaces. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 19:32, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Something being official does not mean it is worth mentioning - for example, we do not track assists, only goals and games. We are an encyclopaedia, not a sports almanac or fan site. Giant Snowman 13:32, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you suddenly doing this, after two seasons? You wanna discussion? You open it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football, because it is you who have a problem with this, not me. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 13:44, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

17 September

I tried an anniversary, and you removed it, without an edit summary. Why (twice)? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Balancing, if it is his 100th or 125th bday, I would gladly let it stay. But 105th? Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't explain why you didn't write an edit summary. - I see many without any "round" anniversary, - please explain why you'd want only quarter centuries. Arvo Pärt yesterday had "only" 90, - per your reasoning I'd expect that we should have waited until 100. For Jung, I discovered the selected anniversaries only when 100 had already passed, and sort of wanted to make up for having missed it. It's an interesting life of diverse interests. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:03, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is complicated, because in my opinion, it should be two births and two deaths. If we remove Vera Popova, there will be no female representation. Modi is celebrating his 75th bday, so kind of a good number. I understand that you want to do so, that is why I added Mahathir Mohamad when longtime editors like Z1720 missed his 100th birthday last July, or Lauren Bacall's last year. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 14:05, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That we have to have a balance of deaths and births seems like a personal preference, or do we have a guideline for that? (I always go for births.) - I do understand a balance of women and men, but think one woman three men would represent our articles. I'd also wish we could have balance as a goal which leaves room for exceptions. - I will keep hoping for edit summaries ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OTD

Thanks for your hard work at OTD with swapping hooks. Please remember to check the articles that are placed in the template, as articles with orange or yellow banners are not allowed to appear on the Main Page per WP:OTDRULES #4. You can ping me if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 23:23, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it is about "too much uncited", I think I will need you to do it, because I am quite busy in real life, working and attending college and dating. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 05:55, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Articles need to be checked before placed in the OTD template. After I check templates, I notice you go back and put new articles in the template for "balancing". This means I to recheck the template, which is time-consuming. For example: at October 6 I checked the hooks, then you replaced two articles in the template, both of which I rechecked and had to remove as ineligible. Please only swap hooks if you have the time to check the bolded article every time it is placed in the template. I use User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages to highlight uncited statements and [1] to provide information about each hook, including maintenance tags. Z1720 (talk) 15:26, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to inform you that I started a thread at WT:OTD concerning your balancing edits and article selection at OTD. Z1720 (talk) 17:44, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yom Kippur

I saw your edit on October 2, and just wanted to clarify a few things. Yom Kippur this year begins at night of Oct 1 until night Oct 2. Because of that, the main holiday is Oct 2. We had a discussion a while back about whether to include the day before or not, and the end was just include the main day, which is why Oct2 is used, and why for other Jewish holidays the day is used and not the night prior.

Interpretation

Thanks for waiting!

Traditionally the names are written like this: Javier Hernández ----> Hernández 34' or H. Hernández if necessary.

Exceptions:

°1 China PR, Korea DPR, Korea Republic (inverted order): We usually write the Full name. Vietnam maybe.
2 Mongolia, Brazil, Portugal they made some changes. For example Pedro Henrique is the 1st name and the last name Silva but the FIFA name is Pedrinho so we put: 10' Pedrinho

3# Hungary and Japan: Hungary has a inverted order, but Japan since 2021 has the order Last name-common name (Wikipedia didn't know about that and users prefer to keep the former order, before 2021.

4 Thailand: the order is the same but we put only the name: Thanatta Chawong -------> Thanatta'
5 Egypt and Arabia Saudi: They are register in FIFA tournaments with both first name-last name at the same time.

Example: Talal Abubakr Abdullah Haji is register as: Talal Haji.

How we know that?

I'll give you the references in a moment: Rey1996ss (talk) 04:27, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[2] Please, on page 7

1) You could se the Player name

2) Go to page 8 in French names....Lisandru OLMETA ---->capital letters is the guideline.

3) Go back to Egypt and Saudi Arabia: the Player name (legally by FIFA) has capital letters.

4) Why is so confusing? Because of the name on shirt....sometimes FIFA write in the website report the name on Shirt or the Player name, so this is confusing for us (the users) jaja Rey1996ss (talk) 04:33, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

5) capital letters is the guideline but another exceptions are monosyllabics (China PR, Chinese Taipéy, Korea Rep...)

6) What happened with Mo Salah in 2018 FIFA World Cup or Saudi Arabia in Qatar 2022? We tried to fix it but maybe the users didn't know about that..So we didn't want to have a big discussion...Maybe some user are thinking that the names for Thailand, Egypt Saudi Arabia etc must be exceptions.

7) Am I trying to display the full name? No haha because Talal Haji is the surname.

8) Honestly we cannot talk about UEFA club competios because they change the registration..for example Jenni Hermoso is Jenni in UEFA but Hermoso in FIFA...Mo Mohamed Salah is Salah in Uefa but is Mohamed Salah in FIFA (having the surname with 2 words).

9) Nothing wrong in the past. We only edit from today onwards.

10) Maybe you arrive late but we already have a friendly concencus in the past Football at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament please see the Names according FIFA and International Olympic Committe for Iraq and Egypt.

Dispute for Oct 16

Hi, I notice that on Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/October 16, you keep swapping out Liam Payne for someone else. I personally think Payne should stay since it is the 1 year anniversary of his death. I think it would be really nice. jolielover♥talk 10:50, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I usually do the same, say on August 26, 2025 for Sven-Goran Eriksson as well as preparing for July 3, 2026 for Diogo Jota and his brother, as well as Jane Goodall for Oct 1. But this time, I have to relent, since the guy was a US senator who died 25 years ago, kind of an anniversary, innit? And for the Mughal king, he was only there because the WP:OTDRULES number 6. Since I am advocating for two births-two deaths on every OTD, there are two deaths already, so no more vacancy there. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 17:33, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TBF number 6 isn't even a rule, just a suggestion. It's also not limited to deaths/births, it addresses the entirety of OTD. Since there are two blurbs from before the 20th century, this shouldn't matter. jolielover♥talk 17:49, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, i've adjusted it so everyone can be happy. Mel remains. I added Oscar Wilde for our pre-20th century bill. I also added an Indian actress for some racial and gender diversity. and, finally, Liam Payne. Hope this works. jolielover♥talk 18:00, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Please review. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 18:08, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jolielover and Ikhouvanjou14: The criteria are what editors should use to make their selections for the OTD templates, including #6. 2 births and 2 deaths per template are not required. I have no concerns with the articles currently selected for that date, including Liam Payne. Z1720 (talk) 20:10, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dealing with vandalism

Hello, thank you for your efforts to deal with 180.150.29.225, who has vandalised a lot of articles today. However, at Central railway station, Sydney, you only undid one vandal edit while the IP actually made two of them; a similar thing happened at the article for Blue Mountains Line. This can be a very easy mistake to make. Please try to make sure you undo all edits by a user in cases like this. Don't worry about those particular cases; I've fixed them. Tools like Twinkle and RedWarn can make it much easier to revert and warn vandals. Graham87 (talk) 15:31, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FIFA U-20 World Cup

Exactly what part of my edit was vandalism? I edited the article in full after the match ended. Wa$hingtonFTFan26 (talk) 1:10 13 October 2025 (UTC)

The Moroccan goalscorer should still be bolded because they are still playing. Other edits are incomplete updates. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 01:12, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OTD: putting eligible hooks in chronological order

I noticed that when swapping hooks, you are putting hooks at the bottom of the eligible list. For example, here. Instead, please return the hooks to chronological order. This allows the pages to stay organised and makes it easier for future hook-swappers to select hooks from a variety of dates. Please ping me if there are any questions. Z1720 (talk) 03:00, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is to differ the recently swapped out (2024) with the others. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 06:31, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 swapped-out hooks do not need to be differentiated. Please put the swapped hooks back in chronological order. Z1720 (talk) 23:46, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OTD

Thank you for the activities on OTD! Thank you for bringing an opera there!! Thank you for adding the image of the the composer!!! - Having said that, I have a few requests. Please use edit summaries. (You heard that before, right?) I wanted to find which edit added it, and then which edit added the pic, and couldn't find it easily. Please consider "round" anniversaries, - this would have been a little "rounder" next year. Please, generally, don't repeat the longish given names of a person widely known by his last name. In the case of Mozart (Beethoven, Wagner ...), avoid these given names altogether. In the specific case of Mozart, I strongly recommend to say nothing, because it's a name he never used. If nothing seems too little, "W. A." would work. Could you point me at other changes to facts about opera and classical music, please, because once they are protected (one day before the day), I can't simply copy-edit. Today I'd have to think about going to ERRORS where they will tell me it's not an error? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I use edit summaries in general, so just search "refreshed for 2025". Well I added it simply because no other article that has not been used for the past OTDs. Use the date's article to find out. In regards of name, I will follow suit. Thank you and you are welcome. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 09:54, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly editions

I made a friendly edition.

According to the tradition in either FIFA or the press some last names can be different.

I read, studied and I want to share some tips with you, those things I learn here in wikipedia and in the collage (university). Countries such as Brazil, China, North and South Korea, Portugal, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Netherlands are quite different.

In fact the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup wikipedia's Page has last names with 2 words such as Gabi Nunes, Bia Zaneratto, Duda Santos.

I reckon that isnt a mistake, It is very different but it's correct. In order to respect the tradition since 2008 U17 Womens' World Cup and all pages where Brazil scored goals, we could keep and respect that interesting situation. Thank you! 187.184.7.146 (talk) 03:03, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
