La Vuelta edit

Hello there

just writing to say good work on putting the stage wins for nations on the Vuelta records page. I've been thinking of doing it for a week or so but wasn't sure how to get all the facts. Glad someone else got there before me. Am I okay to edit it along with the rest as usual? No worries if you want to take care of it.

ShadowMerckx.

Hello,
Thanks for appreciating the section I added to the page about the Vuelta statistics. I thought it would be convenient to have a detailed table on the stage wins per country. It displays a large amount of information in ‘compressed’ form. Using this table one can easily conclude that, for example, the 1996 Vuelta was the only edition no stage was won by a Spaniard, or that the Austrians did not win a single stage since their two wins in the inaugural edition.
The downside on using large tables in Wikipedia is of course the fact that the source code of such tables is quite complicated, and thus more difficult to edit. An easy way to solve this problem is to edit the table using standard spreadsheet software, and converti to Wiki markup with the help of online tools like Excel-to-Wiki.

Disambiguation link notification for September 14 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of World Heritage Sites in Belgium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Namur. 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.

Double categorising edit

Hi. You're adding the cat [[Category:Former buildings and structures in Belgium]] to articles already categorised with [[Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Belgium]]. I have reverted this and you have reverted my reverts, so we should communicate... It is not the practice to use a generic overcat - as here, "Former b&s in B" - with a more specific subcat - as here, "Demolished b&s in B". I don't see why your addition of the overcat adds anything of relevance to the present cat, so don't understand your comment that this double catting "serves a purpose" - could you explain what that purpose is? Eustachiusz (talk) 13:45, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I categorised four articles into Former buildings and structures in Belgium because the topic of these articles are buildings that no longer exist. These articles are also categorised in Demolished buildings and structures in Belgium, because the buildings described in these articles no longer exist because they were demolished. These categories are not mutually exclusive. Tridek Sep (talk) 15:38, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
One is a subcategory of the other, and it is therefore superfluous to have both. Or to put it another way, "Demolished buildings" are a subset of "Former buildings", and if a building is "Demolished", then it is obviously also "Former": you do not need to add an extra cat to say so. Eustachiusz (talk) 16:12, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I understand your logic. However, I'd like to point out that if only one category can be used, there is no need at all for the category Former buildings and structures in Belgium. All the articles in this category are also categorised in Demolished buildings and structures in Belgium. Tridek Sep (talk) 16:43, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Demolished buildings" is a subcat of "Former buildings", so cannot exist without it. Also, the cat tree [[Category:Former buildings]] includes more subcats than [[Category:Demolished buildings]]: even though they've not yet been created specifically for Belgium they can, so to speak, be presumed. To cut a long story short, it is superfluous to add the overcat if the subcat is already there. Please see WP:CAT.Eustachiusz (talk) 01:05, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I noticed that, in line with the developed reasoning, you removed most of the articles from the head category. You forgot the Maison du Peuple, but I am happy that some logic has been brought into these two categories. Tridek Sep (talk) 01:48, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing out Maison du Peuple. I also noticed [[Coudenberg]], which I have left alone as it's clearly a complicated site and I've not gone through the article in detail - possibly some of the "Former" buildings were NOT demolished but are "former" for some other reason, so I think it correct to have left both cats. Looking at the whole cat tree it doesn't appear to be altogether effective: I don't think the shift to "Destroyed landmarks" is helpful; and various types of Destroyed, Demolished and Ruined buildings could probably be better reflected by further sub-cats. But I try not to get involved in wide-ranging projects! Best wishes, Eustachiusz (talk) 12:57, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your removal of another editor's comment in a move discussion edit

See this edit "Removed bad faith comment". Please don't let this happen again. If you continue to fight against User:Domlesch on multiple articles, admins may need to take action. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:19, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I do not respond well to trolls. If I notice a fair attempt at communication, on this talkpage or elsewhere, I will reply. Dishonest comments and attacks will be removed.

List of French second division champions edit

List of French second division champions, because I see you are interested in French football, can you also finish this article please, just add the empty spaces champions and add the Performance by club in the bottom. Thanks!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 09:25, 26 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

A complete set of Ligue 2 final tables can be found here. From the 70-71 to the 92-93 season, Ligue 2 was played in more than one group. At the end of each season, a champion was chosen via play-offs. All results can be found here. — 37 (talk) 18:03, 26 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
I know this pages, you can also take the champions from each Wikipedia page with the final table for each year, but I did not have time to add it, thats why I asked you to help when you have time. You do it once and will be there forever ! Thank you !--Alexiulian25 (talk) 01:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

If you remove outdated information why you do not add fresh data ? It is easy to go and just delete information without adding nothing back ! We have to improve Wikipedia not to delete it ! Thank you my friend !

In what football pages are you interested in ??--Alexiulian25 (talk) 08:48, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Removing outdated information can be a big improvement. If new info is available, feel free to contribute! Today I updated List of Welsh Premier League clubs, which is a featured list that hadn’t been brought up to date in two years. Cheers! — 37 (talk) 09:15, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
I see you are interested in Welsh football, can you please update the 2012-13 season and the current one : Cymru Alliance. And I also have a question, how was the name of the main football competition in North and Mid Wales before creating of Welsh Premier League ?
I know in South Wales was Welsh Football League Division One - the first tier and I did update it, but in North ? Thank you!--Alexiulian25 (talk) 15:35, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Before the establishment of the Cymru Alliance in 1990 and the League of Wales in 1992, the Welsh Alliance League (since 1984, before that the Welsh League North), the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) and the Mid-Wales League were the top divisions for teams in north and central Wales. Information on the history of these leagues and final standings by club and year can be found here and here. — 37 (talk) 00:03, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much for the information ! We need someone from Wales to update and write more on Wikipedia about welsh football articles. Are you from Nederland ?--Alexiulian25 (talk) 20:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
The fact that I have some knowledge about association football should indicate that I’m not a Dutchman. — 37 (talk) 04:20, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oldest football clubs changes edit

I don't understand your reasoning for reverting my changes. You are demanding sources for technical (not factual) changes. I freely acknowledge that Crewe and Le Harve were also cricket and athletic clubs but the column is for stating the original code of football not all sports which the club partakes in. The only factual change is stating that Sheffield United are the oldest and not the first. They were pre-dated by the now defunct Plymouth United F.C. by a couple of years (Although Sheffield United Cricket Club were the first team of any sport to use the moniker). Eckerslike (talk) 15:13, 20 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I was wondering why you'd delete some seemingly fine pieces of information. But I'll admit there's an overal problem regarding the citation of sources in this article. I do however think that claims stating a sports club to be the oldest, biggest, most succesful,... should always cite a source, and preferably not the club's own website or some fan forum. — 37 (talk) 00:30, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Man edit

Are you here to put tags and request people to find references ? Why you do not do it yourself and see how hard is to find references ! I think 50% of whole wikipedia text is with no reference !

I generally don't find it that hard to find and cite sources. If, of course, no sources for alleged facts can be found, you shouldn't include those claims in Wikipedia.

Vladimir Putin edit

If you're going to write "see talk" in your edit summary, it helps if, you know, you're actually saying something on talk rather than just *claiming* you're saying something on talk. You're nowhere near that talk page best I can tell.

Also, don't mark non-minor edits as minor.Volunteer Marek (talk) 16:19, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

It seems you found my comment on the talk page. Thanks for the advice on non-minor edits. — 37 (talk) 17:27, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Comment made on userpage edit

Well my freind when I make a modification of the population of France, like the one I made in the list of countries by population, that the total population stood at 67,287,441 I gave all the sources(from the INSEE website).And you still remove it.Why your telling me to add sources l but when I add you still remove my modification.I am confused.Could you exlpain me why you do that ?

Hi there freind! There is no need to be confused. I reverted your edits because they are unconstructive. The source you provide (the "INSEE website") does not mention a total population number of 67,287,441 for France. On its website, INSEE estimates that the total population number of France is 66,628,000 as of 2016 (including all the overseas departments). On the page you mention, List of countries and dependencies by population, population numbers for metropolitan France and the different overseas departments and territories are listed seperately (and they too are based on official INSEE estimates). It is considered vandalism when you repeatedly remove these sources and just change the population number of France to a figure above 67M, for whatever reason.
Also, you might want to use people's talkpages to post comments, and not their userpages. Signing your comments is also helpful. Bonne journée et au revoir. — 37 (talk) 17:35, 14 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

ARBCOM case edit

Hi Tridek Sep,

There's been some accusations that me, you, Athenean, and SaintAviator are in some kind of tag-team operation (Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Long-term_pattern_of_tag-teaming_between_Volunteer_Marek_and_My_very_best_wishes‎). I just want you to be aware of this. I wouldn't want you to be unaware of the accusations as they are pretty heavy. You're welcome to comment on the case page to refute the allegation, or you can just kick back and not do anything. However you'd like. Thanks, Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:15, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for informing me, although I wish I didn’t have to read that. It’s obvious the user who made these accusations disagrees with a lot of fellow editors that work on the Vladimir Putin article, and the “I versus them” mentality he displays on that page is very unconstructive. I literally wrote that on the talk page today. Accusing other editors he disagrees with of tag teaming, specifically on a noticeboard which seeks an investigation into his involvement in a tag-team operation, is just petty battleground behaviour. I can't even say I'm surprised, but I very much dislike the fact that this guy doesn’t even have the guts to inform me of his accusation. What kind of dirty trick is this? — 37 (talk) 20:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Formal mediation has been requested edit
