NPL Victoria deletion

Hello Matilda Maniac. I see and understand your points for deletion for the National Premier Leagues Victoria, 2, 3 articles. The inscription come from an article such as 2004–05 NSW Premier League season where I initially thought, that state league competitions are allowed to have their own individual articles and them being up for a couple years. If we come to the agreement that we terminate the Victorian NPL ones which we probably will, then the NSW Premier League seasons should also be discussed and terminated along with them and just redirect them towards each federation seasons. FastCube (talk) 13:15, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I will copy your comments to the Football Task Force page and reply there as a more appropriate location than my talk page.Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Western United FC (A-League Women). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:53, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

No worries. I wasn't aware of that guideline. Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:59, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Your recent contributions to Garang Kuol

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Garang Kuol, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 114.122.143.223 (talk) 06:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

It's hardly vandalism to update the article to reflect referenced facts from reliable sources --SuperJew (talk) 07:14, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

This IP has been blocked - exhibiting the same behaviour at a number of other articles, and in my opinion, clearly not here to build an encyclopedia Matilda Maniac (talk) 07:16, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

yup your analysis seems correct --SuperJew (talk) 07:48, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:2021–23 A-League Men combined table for AFC Champions League

Template:2021–23 A-League Men combined table for AFC Champions League has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. Macosal (talk) 11:53, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

National teams template discussion

You are misrepresenting what happened. I made an edit to the template at 06:23 (diff). You started the discussion at 06:34 (diff), 11 minutes later. My edit was not made "during the discussion". Please amend or remove your comment to reflect what actually happened. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:15, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but this isn't much better (diff). Please assume good faith. The phrase "pre-emptive strike" only makes sense if there is some evidence that I knew you were going to start a discussion. I didn't. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:31, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Then merely very odd, coincidental and disappointing timing, if it is not pre-emptive. Why does there need to be this side discussion on my talk page? Matilda Maniac (talk) 23:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

I didn't want the main discussion to be hijacked by an argument about your apparent assumption - based on faulty information - that I was acting in bad faith. It would have been a lot easier for you to just apologise and retract the original allegation, but instead you accused me of something else that was based on a false premise. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 05:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Bring in the lawyers. I stand by my post. Every time I post at that Talk page (thats not vandalism-related) this happens, by people with stronger opinions than mine; who now use words like "hijack", "faulty information", "apologise", "retract", "accused", "false".

I truly wish I had not started his topic - which was in the hope that 5-10 articles would align with the other 1000 - as it now looks like the strong minority will cause the 1000 other articles to change, which is a lot of work for a lot of people. But of course, "thats how Wikipedia works". Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Palestine's home venue

We don't have to anticipate things. The Algerian Federation's statement means nothing without the approval of FIFA and the AFC. This is a precedent. Dl.thinker (talk) 00:13, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

That is simply an opinion, not WP policy. There is currently a credible reference to back up the venue location, so it should be left until it changes and there is a reputable source for that change. There is nothing to say something cannot exist until it has FIFA approval. Matilda Maniac (talk) 07:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Farrow's hat-trick

Hi mate, when adding information please include a reference too. --SuperJew (talk) 19:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Also, Farrow is English, not Australian --SuperJew (talk) 19:25, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

CS1 error on Paris-Panthéon-Assas University

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 13:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Matilda Maniac, thank you for your amendments to Paris-Panthéon-Assas University. Just to note that a reduction of around 1,500 characters should not be described as a "minor" edit! Best wishes, BobKilcoyne (talk) 02:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, it indeed started as minor formatting, until my Preview saw some other reference formatting errors, and noted some of these were in the list of 10 references to the single statement that it was a top law school. There's still errors in the journal sources, which the bot picked up, but you'll likely need a francophone to work out how to most easily updated those.

Thanks, happy editing! BobKilcoyne (talk) 05:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Matilda Maniac!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
