Yeah no problem. To see how many edits you've made, use this website. It gives you detailed information on every edit you've made signed in as that account. To see edits for other accounts, just change the username, but type it in exactly or it won't work. Anyways, your box would look like this (go to "edit" to see the code):

Number of edits
as of 28-June-09
153

To update, just change the date and the number following the URL. It looks weird here, but copy and paste it to the top of your page and it'll look fine. I hope this helps. MxcnKing926 (talk) 21:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: A little help please

[edit]

Hi Dylant!

Generally if you see something on the Wikipedia where you think "I could use this on that other site I'm editing", never hesitate to got into edit mode of that specific section and see how it is done. In this specific case you can see how it is very basically done on the page of the Allianz Arena. Edit the article. First thing is the code of the infobox, skip that. After that there is the introduction. At the end of the intro (the part about the UEFA CL final 2012) there is a link in "ref" tags (<ref> and </ref>). That one is creating the reference.

Now you still have to tell the Wikipedia where to put the actual text, that is within in the "ref" tag. Most of the time this will go to the bottom of the article in a section called "References". To create a list of references you just have to add {{reflist}} to the article, where you want the references to be inserted. So in your case edit the whole article and add

== References ==

{{reflist}}

to the article. It belongs above the "External links" section.

So this is the most basic way of doing this. If you want to get a little more advanced —let me assure you that you would and should want that after a few tries— you can use the "cite web" template within the "ref" tags. A general description of the use of the template can be found here. This is used very often in the Wikipedia. When used it looks like this:

<ref>{{cite web | title = The Golden Years | publisher = FC Bayern Munich Official Website | accessdate = 2008-08-11 | date = 2003 | url = http://www.fcbayern.t-home.de/en/company/club/history/00266.php}}</ref>

The "title" part and the "url"part are obviously important to give this reference an identity. You should never forget to add the "publisher" and "accessdate" information. Without those the reference doesn't adhere to the Wikipedia Standards and thus doesn't really make the article better. By the way, I use examples from around Bayern Munich because the articles about Bayern are currently the only ones in German football that are really good. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear, yet. And welcome the Wikipedia, OdinFK (talk) 08:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Superliga Table

[edit]

This is what the format will look like to add another row if Kheli Dube of the New England Revolution were the goalscorer (look at the html of your talk to see the html format):

Rank Name Club Goals
2 Zimbabwe Kheli Dube United States New England Revolution 2

However many people there are that have scored that number of goals will be the rowspan number. For example, Dube and Duenas had scored 2 goals, it would look like this:

Rank Name Club Goals
2 Zimbabwe Kheli Dube United States New England Revolution 2
Mexico Jesús Dueñas Mexico Tigres UANL

When you start moving stuff around, you have to ensure that all the parts of the table match up. I like to "Show Preview" to trouble shoot my mistakes before I save the page.

Did this answer your question?

Re: Image question

[edit]

I'm not so good with these things, so you might want to ask someone else, but in general that depends on the context. I don't know which Superliga you mean, but for the Superliga main page the image may definitely be used. The logo is used as a symbol for the league after all. For seasonal articles the case is not so clear, but general consensus seems to be not to use them. I did quick glance at the 2008 NFL season article to find out. Voila, they use it. If you click on the logo, you can see the rational why they use it. Actually they don't use it for every random seasonal article, but in this case because the logo was revamped and this is the first season identified by the new logo. So I'd say it is probably not okay to use the logo for the Superliga 2009 article, but then you might have a very good reason.

Also don't forget to sign (~~~~) your postings. It wasn't too difficult to find out who you are but still...

Non free images

[edit]

You cannot use non-free files on your userpage or any page that is not an article. This is in accordance with NFCC # 9. Also, even if it were an article, you would need to add a fair-use rationale. I've undone your edit. Feel free to ask any questions. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most images are free however some are used under what is called Fair use. Images used under fair use are copyrighted and have very specific guidelines that must be followed. You can tell by looking at the file description page, File:US Soccer logo.svg for example, that it is used under fair use. Read the licensing section specifically and note "This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and possibly trademark ... logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law." Images hosted on Wikimedia Commons are all free to use, however. I hope this helps. - Rjd0060 (talk) 13:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're using the wrong infobox template

[edit]

Hey Dylan, just wanted to give you a head's up that all the recent AC St Louis player articles you created use the wrong infobox template. There's a new Football infobox 2 template (which all current MLS players use for example), which was designed to provide a better interface, easier editing, and allows web browsers using sight readers to access the page. If you could change them all to the new infobox, that would be great! Thanks --JonBroxton (talk) 18:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good Faith

[edit]

You came and edited The KC Wizards season page to say that they lost to your AC Stl, why would you do that? The information was already filled in and correct before you changed the Win to a Lose. Morry32 (talk) 19:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article James McCarthy (soccer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Player fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
