  Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Tommy Elphick, 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.

Infobox dates

edit

Hi, when updating infobox stats you should update the |club-update= or |pcupdate= parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update= or |ntupdate= parameter for international stats, by adding five tildes (~~~~~), which generates the specific time the update was made.

Infobox dates, again, and again

edit

If you change the stats, you need to change |club-update= to match, so that the reader can see when the stats are correct at.

What's the point of bringing Sone Aluko's stats up to date as of 19 January 2019, yet leaving the infobox saying "correct as of 21:14, 3 May 2018"?

Transfermarkt

edit

Hello. Please don't use Transfermarkt for your stats updates. Its content can be user-generated, so isn't reliable for use on Wikipedia. Most stats tables for footballers playing in England use Soccerbase for their Premier League/EFL stats, as do those for e.g. Chris Gunter, where I've replaced Transfermarkt with the appropriate Soccerbase page.

Infobox club-update parameter

edit

Hello, and thank you for remembering to update the as-of date when you update infobox stats. Please would you set it to a date or date/time actually after the last match included in the stats, rather than the bare date on which the last match was played. If you just use |club-update=21 September, neither the reader nor any potential updater of stats can tell whether it's up-to-date as of before, during or after the match played on that date.

The easy way is to use five tilde characters, which generates the date-and-time as of when you update the stats: so

|club-update=~~~~~ will generate

|club-update=11:06, 23 September 2019 (UTC) when saved.

Or if you prefer using a bare date, please use the date of the day after the last match included. thanks, Struway2 (talk) 11:06, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
