Where do you get information added at this page? Transfermarkt cannot be used. Dr Salvus 12:29, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus: Hello! Thank you for reporting it: I'll be more careful in the future.

Actually, Ervin's brother is still mentioned in the other article that is used all over the page, so I guess I should have kept just that as a reference... Oltrepier (talk) 12:35, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

How have you got information on his Austria caps? Dr Salvus 12:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus It's the same mistake, actually...

I'll restore that section to the Soccerway data, then.

Once more, thank you for reaching out: I appreciate any type of advice moving forward, as I officially signed up just a few months ago.

~~~~ Oltrepier (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Then, you shouldn't use - in timestamps and in match results. You should instead be using –. 2017–2018 istead of 2017-2018. Then, I'd suggest to crete your own user page, if you want to. Dr Salvus 12:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus Understood. Oltrepier (talk) 12:45, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

And you should never use contracted forms per WP:CONTRACTIONS. Dr Salvus 12:47, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus I should have just fixed all the errors now.

Huge thanks for helping me out! Oltrepier (talk) 13:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

If you want to include a citation on Austria's player stats use these templates:

• Template:OEFB Austria U15 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria U16 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria U17 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria U18 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria U19 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria U21 player profile
• Template:OEFB Austria player profile

The pages also have the instruction to use them- Dr Salvus 10:16, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much!

~~~~ Oltrepier (talk) 08:36, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate you thanking me for my edits but I don't want to be thanked every time, otherwise it'd be getting tedious. Dr Salvus 14:20, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

You're definitely right...

Storchy (talk) 14:28, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

@Storchy Hello, thank you for reviewing my draft! I've submitted it because it was my first real attempt at creating an article for Wikipedia's "central" site (I first signed up for the Italian community), so I didn't want to make an unnecessary mess...

Apart from that, whenever you can, I would ask you to review my previous draft, as well, please.

Thank you for your help!

--~~~~ Oltrepier (talk) 15:05, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

This was your first article creation at English Wikipedia? That's impressive. Wish I could write in Italian as well as you write in English... Storchy (talk) 16:03, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Actually, I've been using the main editing tools for years, despite signing up just a few months ago, and I've already created two pages on the Italian site, so here's the trick.

I'm still pretty bad at using templates and categories, though...

Thank you for your help!

Hans Nicolussi

Your edit at that page wasn't very costructive. I've made a partial revert. Then, remember that play-off matches stats aren't included in the infobox. Dr Salvus 12:16, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

That's fine, thank you for clarifying it.

Two amicable notes

As I'd arleady told Coco53, when you create a page on a footballer, you musn't forget to add the year of birth in the short description as I did at Giacomo Faticanti. When you create a page and you manage to write 1500 prose characters within the first seven days, it'd be a shame not nominating the article for WP:DYK (you could publicise your great work at the Main page). Dr Salvus 10:46, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

@Dr Salvus Whoops! Thank you for reporting it, I'll make sure to be more careful with it now.

I don't think I've reached that level, yet, but thank you for your advice: I'll definitely consider that opportunity.

For now, though, I've still got problems even with draft articles, so... : D Oltrepier (talk) 11:56, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Valentín Carboni you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Dr Salvus -- Dr Salvus (talk) 23:22, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Valentín Carboni

The article Valentín Carboni you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Valentín Carboni for comments about the article, and Talk:Valentín Carboni/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

DYK for Valentín Carboni

On 3 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Valentín Carboni, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Valentín Carboni played in the same three youth teams as his brother Franco before they both received their first call-up to the Argentine senior national team in March 2022? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Valentín Carboni. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Valentín Carboni), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

@Spiderone Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! : D Oltrepier (talk) 21:41, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip

At first, I checked out The Grind Date and I cannot tell a lie, it was a mixed bag. Nice flow, but too many annoying "instruments" overlaid, had to skip some tracks altogether, almost swore them off. But today, And the Anonymous Nobody, whole other story! That's how albums are supposed to be made, if you ask me. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk Oh, so you actually listened to De La Soul: great! : )

To be honest, I don't know their discography that well, despite loving their songs: however, I can say that their first albums (especially 3 Feet and High Rising) are widely considered to be their best ones.

I hope we'll manage to fix the pages of each member of the trio sooner rather than later, because it would just give them justice, and especially to Trugoy.

Cheers! Oltrepier (talk) 08:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

For whatever reason, Spotify only has three of their albums (five if you count two remixes). About a dozen singles, though. I'll think about finding more on YouTube or something, but I can't figure out how to keep that playing while doing something more productive than watching the "video" (like improving the members' bios, in theory, no promises). InedibleHulk (talk) 22:50, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk My bad, I forgot to mention: that's because, in recent years, the group has struggled to negotiate with their label over the release of their catalog on streaming services. They either had problems with sample clearances or unfavorable deals that would give them a very low revenue. So, basically, the only two albums they could release and fully benefit from were their last two LPs, which were self-released.

Now, though, it seemed like they finally found an agreement, and the rest of their discography should be released in the next few weeks. Oltrepier (talk) 10:15, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
• Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
• FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
• TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
• Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

• Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
• Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
• Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
• BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.
• FrB.TG (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga song and a mass of bonus points.

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Monster Max review

Oltrepier, in response to your question on the DYK talk page, once you have proposed a hook for a nomination, you're precluded from reviewing it, since you're not allowed to approve your own hook. As it happens, someone has already reviewed and approved the nomination, so it's fortunately taken care of. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:45, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
