Alberto Zapater

Hi there MR STAPLETON, AL from "Portugal" here,

the third place in the leagues in not an honour, only the first OK? The only situation where second and third places are listed as honour is in national team competitions.

If you have added in other players, please remove it because it is not correct. Thank you --AL (talk) 02:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi AL,

OK, understood.Mr stapleton (talk) 04:31, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Manuel Fernandes (footballer born 1986)

Hello MR. S, AL "speaking",

i apologize for my reversions here, your version has already been reinstated as you can see. However, i take advantage from the opportunity to inform you that we are not encouraged to transcribe word by word whatever is conveyed in a news article to the correspondent WP page, because we may incur in copyright violations, WP rule not mine.

In Fernandes' case, it was not too much, so i guess it's OK. Happy weekend --AL (talk) 12:58, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arseniy Logashov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian Cup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
