Hello, I'm Novo Tape. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, History of association football, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sincerely, Novo Tape (She/Her)My Talk Page 17:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia edit
Wikipedia's licensing rules allow copying text from one article to another, but you must properly attribute the authors of the copied material (see the Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia). However, in your case, the copying was not helpful for two reasons:
- you failed to properly copy the citations from the original article (Oldest football clubs), making your copied material unverified and subject to immediate removal;
- the material is not really relevant at History of football, and could instead simply be referenced by adding a link to the original article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:58, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Oneida Football Club of Boston, Massachusetts, established in 1862, was the first organised team to play any kind of football in the United States. The game played by the club, known as the "Boston game", was an informal local variant that predated the codification of rules for association or American football. The team, which consisted of graduates of Boston's elite preparatory schools, played on Boston Common from 1862 to 1865, during which time they reportedly never lost a game or even gave up a single point.[54][55]
In terms of gridiron football the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League can trace their roots back to the Hamilton Football Club (nicknamed the Tigers) which formed in 1869, then later merged with the Hamilton Wildcats in 1950 to form the current franchise. Their rivals to the east, the Toronto Argonauts, were founded four years later in 1873 and have a mostly unchanged franchise history. Both clubs began as rugby football clubs and only later adapted to the gridiron-style of play which would become known as Canadian football. The oldest continuous rugby club in North America which still plays rugby is the McGill University Rugby Football Club which was established in 1863, although their first recorded game was not until 1865.[56] The oldest independent (non-university) rugby club is the Westmount Rugby Club of Montreal, which formed in 1876.[57]
In 1869, Rutgers University and Princeton University competed in the first US intercollegiate football game. According to U.S. Soccer, the rules of this game resembled rugby and association football more closely than gridiron football.[58] However, university-affiliated teams competing in intercollegiate championships are not typically classified as "clubs".
In the United States, gridiron-based variants of the game did not distinguish themselves from existing codes until 1871, when Harvard University began playing a variation known as the "Boston Game." This allowed a player to pick up the ball and run with it if he were chased and it quickly spread, with innovations added by Yale University student Walter Camp. The oldest existing non-university semiprofessional football club is the Watertown Red & Black, which was founded in 1896. The Arizona Cardinals, formed in Chicago in 1898, are the oldest team in the National Football League.
One of the first teams to have played football under the association rules in the US was Fall River Rovers, founded in 1884.[59] The club existed intermittently until 1921. The Milwaukee Wave of the American Indoor Soccer Association, a professional indoor soccer team based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was founded in 1984, and is the oldest continuously operating professional soccer team of any kind in the United States.[60] The ten charter members of Major League Soccer were all new clubs created shortly before the league began play in 1996. Nine of those ten clubs are still in existence. In 2011, the league admitted the Vancouver Whitecaps, who had existed continuously since 1986, and who were a phoenix club of the North American Soccer League side of the same name who were founded in 1974. Aside from the arguable exception of the Whitecaps, all of the other NASL clubs folded when the league folded in 1984. There is one American soccer club from an earlier first-division league still in existence: the Kearny Scots of the semi-pro Eastern Premier Soccer League have been around since the 1930s, when they were a longtime member of the American Soccer League. They won the ASL league championship five years in a row from 1937 through 1941.
In Mexico, the oldest Football club is Club de Fútbol Pachuca, based in Pachuca, Hidalgo, that competes in Liga MX. Founded by Cornish miners from Camborne and Redruth in 1901, it is one of the oldest football clubs in the Americas, and was one of the founding members of the Mexican Primera División.
and in south America
Club Atlético del Rosario was officially established in 1867 as a cricket institution. The club soon added association football, being the first club from Rosario playing in the Primera División, the top division of Argentina.[65] In rugby union, Rosario AC played the first inter-clubs match in the country on 28 June 1886, when the team faced Buenos Aires Football Club.[66][67]
Having been established in 1875, Club Mercedes is considered the oldest association football club still in existence in Argentina.[68][69] This places Mercedes above Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata[70] and Quilmes, both founded in 1887. |

- Again, I'll note that when you copied this text from Oldest football clubs, you neglected to properly copy the citations. When you see things like [68][69] in the text, instead of proper references,[1] then it is clear that you just copied the published Wikipedia page and didn't even bother copying the Wikipedia source text. Also, I will note that, based on the phrasing of your question, English does not appear to be your native language. Did you know that there are versions of Wikipedia in almost every language on Earth? You can find them all at meta:List of Wikipedias. You might find more success editing in the Wikipedia that corresponds to your native language. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:23, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
