{{helpme}}I would like to know if you have to license and copyright images that you have photographed before uploading.
Thank You,
MicroX 21:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes. All uploaded images require licensing information. If you took the pictures yourself, you can choose how you wish to license it. You must choose a free license, which means it can be used for any purpose, even commercial uses. You can see a list of some acceptable licenses here, as well as a brief description of each. For more information about licenses , see here--Werdan7^{T @} 22:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Decorative Fair Use

{{helpme}}

What do you want help with? Place the {{helpme}} tag back up, with a description of the problem, so we know to check back. --ais523 18:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

What does decorative fair use mean? I have seen it a couple of times.

It's the practice of using a fair-use image in a situation where it doesn't make the article/page it's on more encyclopedic, just prettier (such as using logos of sports teams in userboxes). It's against fair use criterion 8, and in most cases is probably copyright violation, so it should always be avoided. I hope that helps! --ais523 18:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Strange Symbol

{{helpme}} How do you make this –– symbol? When I try to do that, I get this --.

Look at the bottom of the page, underneath "Save Page". There is a section called "Insert" and the dash should be there. Real96 23:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Image

Hi.

I know that you just deleted the image I uploaded of "Estadio Miguel Grau Piura.jpg". I don't know why it was deleted because the owner (of worldstadiums.com) gave me permission to use it.

MicroX 03:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Such licenses are not allowed on wikipedia. You can read more at Wikipedia:Image use policy. In short the image has to be under a free license. Rettetast 07:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

No, it didn't. You asked if you could use the image on wikipedia and got a yes. Nothing more nothing less. We want wikipedia to be a free encyclopedia where one can use what you find in other places. Such licenses as this image had could not be used elsewhere. You can ask if they want to release the images under a free license, but it is probably easier to take a picture of your own, or find a wikipedian who live nearby to take on. You can also request an image on Commons:Commons:Picture requests. Rettetast 21:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Where do you find that. I only see this. All materials appearing on World Stadiums, unless otherwise noted, including but not limited to stadium information, graphical images, and interactive applications cannot be reused in any way without prior permission from the owner[1]. Rettetast 21:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you did get permission, but only for wikipedia, and it is policy to not allow such images, because it can't be used by any others. Rettetast 05:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Universitario logo

I got this particular logo from www.hqfl.dk, like most of my logos, but quite a few peruvian ones are made specially by a friend who creates them in adobe illustrator. --shanda 20:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:CopaCableMagico.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:CopaCableMagico.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:02, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Problems

I have recently seen the edit you have done to the Peru National Football Team article.

I'm sure you meant it as a good edit, but I do not approve of what you have done. The reasons as to why I come to this conclusion are:

1. You should not have taken out the section of recently played matches. 2. What do "Recent Matches" have to do with having the words beginning the article within its section? 3. Why remove the U-17 section of the article?

You might think, "Who is this guy to come and tell me these things?" Well, I've worked very hard in improving the Peru National Football Team article; it was me that took the time to translate nearly all of the Spanish text into English, added that I found the majority of the source-links for the article and basically I've spent a lot of time in seeking its improvement.

I would just like to hear from you and know what exactly were your thoughts when you did your edit.

You should have also posted something in the discussion topic before making such a big edit. There are others, like me, that are also highly active in checking the article is doing alright and I would have for the least wanted to see some words said by you in the discussion part of the article. Yet, it seems to me that you just edited as you wished.MarshalN20 04:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

The wikitable class is governed by some code in Mediawiki:Common.css, which reveals that the light grey is #f2f2f2 and the dark border is #aaa. Algebraist 00:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Redirect page policies

Is there a policy on redirect pages, where it is preferred that the actual article name is used instead of the redirect link. Take this example: São Paulo FC [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo FC]] São Paulo FC [[São Paulo FC]]*This is the redirect page. --MicroX 00:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi MicroX. The question is whether article names should be piped to the full name rather than using a shortened version. Redirects aren't involved with the examples you've given because the link pipes the user directly to the article and avoids the redirect, which also happens to exist, entirely. So the question is involved with our policy on piping links and on linking in general, set forth at Wikipedia:Piped link and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). I don't see much which directly addresses your question. There is some discussion that piping links should be done when the wording of the exact link title does not fit in context and that piped links should be as intuitive as possible. Neither really addresses the issue here. I think that both the shortened and full version would fit in most contexts and both are intuitive. No one seeing the shortended version of the name will think, "what could that be?" that the full link would help clear up. Personally though, in a formal encyclopedia article, I think the better practice when first mentioning a subject (which generally should be wikilinked once), is to provide the full, formal name.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

thanks and question about the nulling of my helpme request tag

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my helpme request. As it was my first time using that tag, I was blown away by how much help I received. Just curious as a newer user, what is the threshold of response before the tag is nulled by a helper? Thanks, again. -Gwguffey (talk) 06:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

nope, I don't need to ask again. I was just curious what the community consensus was for how much help is generally considered enough to put in the null (1 really good one? 4 smaller ones? etc.) for when the day comes that I respond to a helpme request. Best wishes. -Gwguffey (talk) 16:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

If you notice on this template, the qualification or relegation stretches because the qualifing tournament is longer.

Yes - editing Template:Fb_cl_header so that the line :

!width=180|{{#if:{{{promoted|}}}|Promotion|Qualification}} or relegation<br /><!--

reads

!width=180|<center>{{#if:{{{promoted|}}}|Promotion|Qualification}} or relegation<br /><!--

should fix it, as per User:Gilesbennett/Sandbox - note that I've increased the width of the cell to 300 to show that it centers, as there isn't an extra-long line in the table below. Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 15:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Primera División Peruana

My apologies for reverting your change. I saw the edit on RecentChanges, and alarm bells went off in my head: an anonymous editor, removal of what seems like legitimate content, and an edit summary that claims to make minor changes, while in actuality changing the facts. In hindsight, it's a good reminder that I shouldn't be so quick to judge an edit by its cover, so to speak. See you around! Fogster (talk) 00:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:New Rosas Pampa.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:New Rosas Pampa.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 16:15, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Colombian league

I don't know to be honest. I've never learned the non-sponsored name of that division of Colombian Professional Football in any season regulations or anything. Seems like something that should be confirmed because I really doubt it is called Colombian Professional Football. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Digirami (talk) 16:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

The regulation for the second level (found here) seems to concur with what you found, with formal full name being "Categoria Primera A/B" (that would go somewhere in the opening paragraph of the article, of course). If we rename it, lets go about it the right way. I'm sure the editor(s) of Colombian football would like their say in this matter. Digirami (talk) 10:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep. Let's do a requested move. It'll open up the move for voting and discussion. Digirami (talk) 17:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I also think we should move any Copa Mustang I and Copa Mustang II articles into a single season articles, despite two championships. Like want I brought about with the Primera Division Argentina. I had a discussion about this sorta thing in the WikiFootball project, and the general concensus was to have a season article first, and then, if needed, additional articles for each championship.

2010 Copa Sudamericana

I see you have created the article for the 2010 Copa Sudamericana. I'll help you keep an eye on it. But I have one question on the berths. I understand that all countries except Argentina and Brazil will gain a berth. But is it mentioned anywhere that Argentina and Brazil would lose berths? Cause they suddenly lost 1 and 3 berths, respectively. Digirami (talk) 21:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the source might be wrong. I double-checked Argentina's season regulations, and it says they will have 6 berths for 2010. Brazil's says they still have 8 for 2010. I think we should trust those regulations because it's about as close as an official statement from CONMEBOL we can get at the moment. Digirami (talk) 20:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Primera Division naming

I'm not quite sold on the Colombian example by the simple fact that their current season hasn't been updated in a while. That would indicate little, if any, recent contribution from their normal editors. I once brought this up for discussion in the Wiki:Footy talk page (see: here). I don't think any clear consensus was formed on any one, but I think the format under which Primera División Uruguaya is under was not widely accepted. Either way, I am in no position to just start renaming all pages (especially the Argentine and Mexican leagues) because of the uproar it might raise. Digirami (talk) 06:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

If you can combine them into one article per season, like in Argentina, that'll be great. As for naming, I'm increasing favoring "Primera Division (country) format. It is probably the most accurate per the guidelines when it comes to disambiguating, and is adaptable to the league season ("2009-10 Primera Division season (country)"). But it still be open to discussion. Digirami (talk) 21:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

And in some regulations (especially this season's), its called "Division Profesional". This is where WP:COMMONNAME becomes the deciding factor. That's how I dealt with Ecuador's main page. Digirami (talk) 21:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

After giving it some more thought, maybe we should go with Primera División of [Country] naming, so the cross-language doesn't look so off like in Mexican Primera Division.--MicroX (talk) 23:53, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Ligas Superiores del Peru

While checking Category:2009 domestic football (soccer) leagues, I stumbled upon an article named Ligas Superiores del Peru 2009. The corresponding main article revealed that these leagues are located on the fifth step (out of seven) of the Peruvian football league system.

The main article tends towards a "keep" for me as this step might just be notable enough to warrant an article. However, I don't really know what to do about the season article (PROD or not?). Since you seem to be "the" expert on Peruvian football in here (as mentioned by User:Digirami ;-) ), what is your opinion in this case? --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 11:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Apologies; I've had a look at this, and it is much more complex than I imagined to achieve without breaking things; if we change the code to say 'only display the seed box if a seed is given', then there are further problems with the table if one seend is given but the other isn't, for a given round. I'm sure that it could be done, but it would take more time than I have right now. Once again, sorry - I will reinstate your request to see if others can assist.  Chzz  ►  07:01, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

On second thoughts - and upon advice from another user - there are separate templates for tournaments with seeds. So, if nobody has used these with seeds, then those sections could just be removed altogether. Maybe someone could do that; I did try (in a sandbox), but messed it up, so I'm leaving it to people who know what they're doing.  Chzz  ►  07:23, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Colors

I don't know either why domestic leagues and international tournaments are treated differently. I don't see much of a problem, though, as this is what has been done before (at least in the 1.75 years of my Wiki participation), seems to be established consensus, and no one has asked that question before.

Yes... Only when we replace it in the articles it is used it. Digirami (talk) 23:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Or, better yet, swap out the old code for the updated one. Digirami (talk) 01:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Yep. But after examining what articles have that template in place, I guess maybe we should rename it to {{TwoLegStart Points}} and then create another template for the new header with what we are using in the 2010 and call it {{TwoLegStart CONMEBOL}} (since it can be used in Copa Sudamericana articles, too).

In the meantime, I'm going to jump ahead and modifying the 2008 edition to display the new table so when the new template is created, it can just be swapped in. Digirami (talk) 03:00, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Primera Division de Peru seasons naming conventions

Hey,

I see you started moving some of the season articles to the new naming format. I put in a bot request to move the Argentine league seasons. I just have one question for the Peruvian league season. I know you're the Peru guy in the football project. But wouldn't the "XXXX Campeonato Decentralizado" or "XXXX Torneo Decentralizado" be the best naming convention for the applicable season of that league? I see like the Ecuadorian league, where the league is commonly called the Serie A, but the season itself is commonly called the Campeonato Ecuatoriano de Futbol Serie A. Let me know what you think. Slds. Digirami (talk) 20:50, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know that I declined the speedy deletion of War and Peace (miniseries) as it asserted notability by stating it had been broadcast in more than one country. If an article makes a credible assertion of notability, even if it is unreferenced, it is not a candidate for speedy deletion. A quick search on IMDB reveals that this is a notable article, with a very well known cast. If an article makes a credible claim for notability but you think it should still be deleted, then you should use PROD or AFD. Stephen! ^Coming... 09:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

South American football as a FT

Seeing that you and Digirami has been the most notable contributors to South American club football competitions, I want to invite you two to help build and promote this project. Personally, I think it is 70% done. Here is the discussion. Jamen Somasu (talk) 00:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

You see...

...I respect the rules; I think they are a necessary backbone in our society. Sure...there are times when one must chose to ignore them (for good reasons) but one should treat the rules as a backbone, a guideline of sorts.

But the rules are simply words and letters; what gives them importance is the way they are carried out. It is like, say, a football tournament: if there is blatant cheating, controversial circumstances without a doubt, and similar cases, then the competition would lose prestigue, importance, and it would matter little.

The rules are very much like that; in here, I was blocked for some BS. I will admit that I could have prevented the situation and acted better; however, it doesn't change the fact that some people here have blatant double-standards that I had to endure personally. And when the rules doesn't apply to everyone on a somewhat equal level, then the rules lose meaning, it becomes pointless, and it transforms into something I can wipe my ass with.

Where does that stem for? Giving the wrong people the wrong tools. I understand there are certain factions that are here solely to protect articles against vandalism (something I have done once or twice to test my theory out), but it seems the emphasis has changed: a great deal of the admin I interact do not try to protect articles, but seems to spend more time blocking users who are deemed "unlikeable", mostly because of difference of opinion (most of the time, it is nothing more than that. I have personally read a great deal of the admin's incident reports for this year).

So yeah...more or less. Plus, Digirami is a dumbass. I know he is getting pissed off (which I take great pleasure on), but mostly, I do it because he thinks he own the articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.145.93.60 (talk) 03:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Primera Argentina

Huh. Well do I have egg on my face for misreading that. Corrections have to be made. But, do keep in mind this quote from the regulations: "En ningún caso podrán participar de la Copa "Santander" Libertadores, ni de la Copa “Nissan” Sudamericana, los clubs que desciendan de Categoría (Punto 9), o deban disputar las promociones (Punto 10)." If I understand that and point 10 correctly, any team that plays in the relegation/promotion playoff are not eligible. Digirami (talk) 06:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Fb r header

Hi MicroX,

I recently discovered that around two dozen articles, mostly covering Peruvian leagues, still use the deprecated {{Fb r header}} for creating results tables. Could you please modify the respective articles to use {{Fb r2 header}} instead? :-) The reason behind this request is that I want to get rid of the r version of the header in the near future, in order to move the r2 version into the "old" r namespace to achieve some naming consistency. Cheers, Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 00:23, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I have also asked Ericystephi (talk · contribs) for help since he currently seems to be on a mission regarding Peruvian season articles of all kind. ^_^--Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 00:33, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The reason for the missing codes is that the respective team templates do not have the abb parameter included. So, everything to do is to "add the abb". In general, the code of a complete team template should look as following:

{{fb team |t=Sporting Cristal |tan=Sporting Cristal |tc=PER |abb={{#if:{{{abb|}}}|CRI}} |oc={{#if:{{{oc|}}}|{{{oc}}} }} }}<!-- --><noinclude>[[Category:Fb_team_templates Peru]]</noinclude>

The example hopefully is self-explanatory; if not, feel free to drop a line. As for the 2007 Torneo Descentralizado – I have amended the involved team templates, so these could be used as examples as well. For convenience, here is the link to Category:Fb team templates Peru. --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 11:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Primera Division/Descentralizado

Disculpa, queria saber porque separas la Era Amateur del Descentralizado, yo apoyo la separacion en los articulos, pero la FPF los relaciona como una sola Division, ademas una importante division de los articulos se deberia consultar con varias personas ya que al separar disminuye la cantidad de titulos por equipos.

Descentralizado

Como va a quedar entonces, se va a separar o no?, porque acabo de ver que lo estas regresando a como estaba, sino vas a tener que borrar la pagina de Torneo Descentralizado que creaste, para no generar confusion.

Bueno, entonces trata de organizar mejor, porque ya creaste la pagina de Torneo Descentralizado y se repite informacion con la de Peruvian Primera Division.

Hi. When you recently edited 2012 Universitario de Deportes season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mario Soto (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.

List of Copa Libertadores

Hi, yes I took that discussion into account, as there was debate about implementing sorbability into the table, but when the discussion took place I'm fairly certain that you could not sort tables properly with col and rowspans. That has been amended now so it makes sense to implement this style of table. There has been discussion at wp:footy about this, and we updated our guidelines for these lists, so I think the table format should be alright. As the list is featured, it should be improved if necessary to keep it up to date, adding sorbability was crucial in my view to the list keeping its featured status. Anyway, those are the reasons behind my overhaul of the table. NapHit (talk) 17:41, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Bracket help

{{Help me}}

I need some help with a template. I want to make a bracket similar to this one Template:CCLBracket but I want it to look like this. In other words, a seven team bracket without seeds. I've been trying to do some trial and error with the code but it hasn't gone very well. Your help is greatly appreciated. MicroX (talk) 02:59, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Template:7Team2LeggedBracket has the seeds; you could change them as desired, but I don't know how to edit them out, so I'll leave this open. Dru of Id (talk) 03:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I don't have any idea how to do what you're asking, but you're more likely to get a good answer if you move this question to Village pump (technical). That's where you'll find a high concentration of Wikipedia/Wikimedia technically-inclined editors. Cheers ​—DoRD (talk)​ 03:21, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Template:4RoundBracket-Byes-NoSeeds-2Legs

I think I've made Template:4RoundBracket-Byes-NoSeeds-2Legs do what you want it to do - I haven't tested every possible combination of parameters, though. In particular it produces nonsense if the given parameters are not consistent, but I expect so does its parent template. See User:Huon/Test for a test case, also this version and this version with different batches of parameters. Huon (talk) 03:46, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

A shame that good editors have to be put through hoops to produce common sense evidence like this. I don't suppose you have any spare time to contribute to finishing the job with Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Spain & Spanish-related articles to get it finished and adopted like the French one? That would in the long run avoid wasting time with one-offs. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

You recently PROD'ed List of world championships. You've opened no discussion on the article talk page, nor have you posted at AFD. Not sure how OR or SYTH apply here.

Juan Aurich

Hi MicroX,

can you please tell me why you deleted the "performance in CONMEBOL competitions" section in the article about Juan Aurich. I thought it was very comprehensive and since I haven't been doing edits for a long time, this took me quite some hours to make and maintain. I'm a big fan of Juan Aurich and I'm sure it adds information to the page. Please put it back or explain to me why this is not good. I really don't understand.

Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cup

Good Morning MicroX, I would not bother but I notice that in the latest edition of The FIFA Weekly is published an article about the Club World Cup history (cf. pp. 34-35) which has a significantly different version of the Euro-centric theory proposed by user Good Football, supported by their puppets Soccer Historian and Epidemia Corinthiana and, more recently, by user Hawaiifive0, who curiously edits like these users and and strangely shares his their same point of view about this item. By the way, this person insists on edit articles calling the Intercontinental Cup was "a friendly tournament" including in disambiguation pages like this and this, which is obviously false.--Dantetheperuvian (talk) 21:07, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:El nacional stadium.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:El nacional stadium.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ytoyoda (talk) 20:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
