Football box collapsible
Does the format "football box collapsible" look not better than the normal "footbal box" format? Who decides that it is ugly? regards...Magawla61 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- It definitely doesn't look better when there are horizontal bars between each template already. Didn't you look at your edits after you made them? Also, per MOS:COLLAPSE, we shouldn't be hiding content in collapsible boxes if it can't be found anywhere else in the article. It's not fit for purpose. – PeeJay 17:06, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Of course I am looking my edits after I made them. Well, OK. According the above manual, I won't hide the content from now on. I think that "collapsible" format looks better though.
Competitions by country and most played teams
May I ask why you deleted the "competitiions sorted by countries" and "most played teams" from the page Trabzonspor in European football? Is there a policy for that? Because I really gave quite an effort for those statistics. Regards... Magawla61 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- That info was unsourced. – PeeJay 21:35, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Look. The info was derived from the games they played. They can be calculated from the results. I did the calculations. Does that not count? Magawla61 (talk) 22:30, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- And there are many team pages alike which contain such statistical information. Magawla61 (talk) 22:32, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Scorers in FC Twente in European Footbal Deleted
You also removed the scorers from the FC Twente in European football page. Why is (was) that? (You missed some of them too.) It is really tiring to struggle with such things while I want to make contributions. Highly discouraging. Can you please tell me your point(s) on that?

Reference for the football scores
Hello PeeJay. I would like to ask you something: The "football box" template contains a "Report" field. And that field contains the link of the result of that game. Do we need to add another reference for the score of the game? According to me, the "result" field is enough and we don't need to add another reference for thae score. What do you think? Thanks in advance. Magawla61 (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2023 (UTC)mgwl Magawla61 (talk)
- Adding a link to a reliable news report, or the organisers' official match report should be enough. – PeeJay 21:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
footballdatabase.eu reliable?
Hello PeeJay. I would like to ask another question: Is "www.footballdatabase.eu" a reliable source? According to me it is. What do you think? Regards... Magawla61 (talk) 20:35, 6 February 2023 (UTC)mgwl Magawla61 (talk
<b.r. /> to <b.r.>
Sorry for bothering again. I was converting the <b.r. /> to <b.r.> because it will take less bytes like that. Something wrong with it? Magawla61 (talk) 13:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)mgwl Magawla61 talk
- Yes, you shouldn't make edits just to change something that won't be represented to the reader. Changing from <br /> to <br> does nothing to change the outward presentation of the article, and it saves only two bytes for each one you change. It's not worth storing an entirely new version of the page on Wikipedia's servers. – PeeJay 13:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Sourced info only.
Please don't revert again. You didn't even have the numbers right (it's 19-15 including playoffs). The rest has to be sourced. Fred Zepelin (talk) 18:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Reliable sources
Please read up on WP:RS. You added what is basically a personal website. I've now asked you to discuss on talk, which you ignored, and posted an edit warring warning on your talk page, which you removed. Next step is a formal report, and likely, a block for you. Fred Zepelin (talk) 19:53, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'm perfectly within my rights to remove any messages from my talk page. In fact, per Wikipedia guidelines, you should take its removal as tacit acknowledgement of the message. Now stop making threats and explain, using your big boy words, why the source I added isn't reliable when its numbers can be corroborated. – PeeJay 20:03, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
- That discussion is ongoing at Talk:Cowboys–Vikings rivalry. I would also ask that you, again, refrain from reverting the article to add things that aren't backed up by a reliable source. And that you refrain from personal insults as you did in your comment here. Fred Zepelin (talk) 21:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
