Welcome to Wikipedia, MotorsportFan2012! Thank you for your contributions. I am Cool Angel and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

February 2017

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Paul Barnes (footballer), 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.

August 2017

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rodney Kongolo, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 19:42, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Infobox dates

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. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 22:09, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Please keep this in mind. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Table stats

Hi, please bear in mind you should update *all* the necessary fields in career stats tables when updating stats, not just the league appearance field, as well as the date above the table. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 20:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

Re: James Deane (drift driver)

Hello MotorsportFan2012 I have added projects Motorsport, Ireland, Biographies, to your article. You may wish to join them, check their to-do, and meet new people with interest in these topics. Cheers, --Gryllida (talk) 04:32, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

We are an encyclopedia, not a sports almanac. We do not need to include details of every goal/game, just notable ones. I see media talking about the result, but not so much the individual goals. GiantSnowman 15:21, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Jon Trickett, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Mark Jenkinson

Hi, you've changed the place of birth for Mark Jenkinson from Whitehaven to Workington, is this correct? It's unlikley that he was born there, most people of his age were born at Whitehaven. Where are your sources? Regards --Devokewater @ 20:56, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Tom Fielding

Thanks for your edits here, but please take more care - 'football' in the USA is not the same as 'football' in England, so I have had to fix loads of links that pointed to the wrong sports team. Please also see WP:SUBCAT, a person should not be in both Category:English expatriates in the United States and Category:English expatriate sportspeople in the United States, just the latter.
