Welcome

Hello Oh its just some guy and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Kasper Schmeichel, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

Information icon Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Bostock, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

How do you add a source?

It’s all true stop bashing out wiki and taking down peoples stuff when u clearly haven’t properly looked it up. Rashford is 6ft 1 not 5ft 11 and 1.85m is 6ft 1. 1.80 is clearly incorrect and it doesn’t take a source to realise it just takes 1 google search. I don’t even know how to add a source so stop trying to ban me pal Oh its just some guy (talk) 17:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

the easy way to do it is to enable the reftoolbar, you can do this by going to preferences, then gadgets, then under editing tick the reftoolbar box. This will give you a new link above the editing box called Cite, and will allow you to insert a reference and format it easily. Agent00x (talk) 17:14, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
transfermarkt is not a reliable source. It is a user-generated content, which i had seen so many error from that site. Matthew hk (talk) 17:12, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, ESPN FC use 1.80. Matthew hk (talk) 17:14, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah

Am I still blocked? Oh its just some guy (talk) 16:37, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you previous attempt to {{unblock}}, actually missing the }}. But somehow it was already declined. I am not sure resumitting would help or not, as well as admin would believed that you know what the problem is. Matthew hk (talk) 18:59, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, FIFA 19 is fictional and please have a grasp which source is reliable before making unblock request. Matthew hk (talk) 11:37, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah good one, he said how he was 6ft 1 (and a half I think) in an interview so just look it up. And please explain how you get to decide what’s reliable and what’s not. Nowhere in my request did I say that “FIFA 19” was reliable, why are you bringing this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oh its just some guy (talkcontribs) 2019-03-09T20:36:29 (UTC)
We use talk page (e.g. Talk:Marcus Rashford) to resolve dispute (and may be more venues: in football people prefer to go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football or user talk page). You claimed in the edit summary "according to FIFA", but the citation of the article of Rashford. There is a link from 2018 FIFA World Cup that against your claim. For identifying reliable source, there is some forum in wikipedia such as Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. But reliable source was discussed for so long again in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, which we seldom judge FIFA, UEFA (primary sources) or BBC Sport, ESPN FC (media that operated by big companies) as unreliable. We do have odd case of different value of height (See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 121#Transfermarkt and Talk:Jay Emmanuel-Thomas#Height), but we discuss it, not replace the value with clearly bad source and lastly sign you post in talk pages with ~~~~.

Right okay, but I swear he said it in an interview. I’ll check in a bit.Oh its just some guy (talk) 10:09, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Oh its just some guy (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

what I have added to articles so far, I have known most to be true but hadn’t linked a source. I will make sure to link a source in future when adding to articles. Oh its just some guy (talk) 08:53, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

  • Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
  • Read our guide to improving articles
  • Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas. Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:
    1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
    2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
      • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}});
      • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]);
      • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]);
      • do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
    3. Click edit at your talk page, and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
    4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
    5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose: {{reflist-talk}}. Once you have added the template, click Publish changes.
  • Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
