Please stop changing date formats contrary to MOS:RETAIN

RETAIN does not apply when the initial date format is simply wrong. Lasker was German and they use DMY, so MDY is wring. Steinitz is less clear and I'm content to remain MDY for him. GiantSnowman 07:35, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

You are wrong. German date formats are irrelevant in the English Wikipedia. Germans do not write "24 December 1868" because "December" is not a German word. This only applies to national varieties of English, and Germany does not have a national variety of English. Quale (talk) 07:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

List of date formats by country says otherwise. GiantSnowman 18:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

You don't seem to know the difference between vandalism and a mistake. But there was no mistake in my edit, and your threats don't impress me, so forget about them. Unofficial matches also count, in case you didn't know, so 22+10=32, and 8+11=19. Fix it yourself and stop vandalizing. You're no smarter than me, believe me. Proof of your mistake: https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/24995/Billy_Forbes.html Wolfgang (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

No, unofficial matches do NOT count. GiantSnowman 18:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

No? So show your balls and fix it: Robert Lewandowski. https://www.national-football-teams.com/player/27416/Robert_Lewandowski.html Correct from 152 to 149 and from 83 to 76. Let's go! Come on! And necessarily here and here and here. But if you won't do it - stay away from me and my edits! Because you wrong, and you know about it. Wolfgang (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

What do you mean, 'fix it'? I just reverted your incorrect edit. GiantSnowman 19:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Lewandowski has it too incorrect data. Why don't you improve there? :) You are only brave for a little known football players. Wolfgang (talk) 19:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but I consider my arguments as final, which make you pathetic. I showed you how wrong you are. Wolfgang (talk) 20:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

If Forbes has 22 games and 10 goals, why is there a mistake here? 32 apps and 19 goals? Vandalism too? You're a ridiculous. Wolfgang (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

You have to be a "genius" to use Wikipedia against Wikipedia... But why are you correcting my edits and not some other mistakes? I give you examples where unofficial matches and goals are recognized and you do nothing about it. Wolfgang (talk) 19:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I cannot correct every single mistake on every single page. Now you know it's incorrect, why don't YOU do something about it? GiantSnowman 20:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I will not do that because I know, that unnoficial matches also count. And you are inconsistent and officious. Wolfgang (talk) 20:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

What do you think 'unofficial' means? GiantSnowman 20:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

For example matches with members who are not in FIFA, albo matches that were not recognized by FIFA. That's why Lewandowski has 152 apps, not 149 (with that GiantSnowman is agree), and that's why Billy Forbes has 32 apps, not 22 (with that GiantSnowman is not agree - no one knows why, maybe he likes to be malicious). Wolfgang (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

If you continue to add incorrect information to BLPs, you will be blocked. GiantSnowman 20:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I've shown you how wrong you are, and you have no arguments for it. Remember, Wikipedia is not your private site. You are not the boss of this place. Wolfgang (talk) 20:49, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks for getting in touch. I am very sorry that you felt the need to do anything. I searched the drafts and nothing came up. I do not know how to search all individual sandboxes if you know of a way to do that I would be grateful. With regards the footballer in question he made his debut for Rochdale in the English Football League whilst they were in League Two. Independent of that, there were more than enough sources available to satisfy WP:GNG, that is significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. However, you seem to have deleted all of them now from the draft available. Not to worry, doesn’t matter in the bigger picture of things. Best wishes.

They are in the history, I deleted nothing deliberately, they will just be in an old version following the merges. GiantSnowman 19:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

This is getting out of hand, really. Last time i checked, we are not supposed to insert PLAYOFF stats in the infobox, because that's what the chart below is for (also with the cup apps and other stuff).

User:Gregor kai begs to differ, and even tough i have explained it to them in edit summaries, they do not seem to care. Attentively 193.137.135.5 (talk) 14:28, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
