[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 02:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] USMA Players

I didn't intend to change their nationality - I must have copied the Fs template from a Tunisian club and forgot to update it to Algeria. It is correct now. Jogurney 05:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I now understand what I did - on the player articles I copied the infobox from a Tunisian player and forgot to update the NT to Algeria. Sorry about the confusion and thank you for your help. Jogurney 05:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

No worries. Welcome to wikipedia - I'm fairly new myself and learning how to edit too. Best regards. Jogurney 05:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

There was a ] missing from one of the wikilinks in the infobox. Every wikilink must have 2 at the beginning and 2 at the end. A http link uses only 1 [ and 1 ]. I added the missing ], and it seems to work now. Best regards and keep up the great work. Jogurney 03:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Abdelhamid Kermali

I saw the article you created on Kermali. Just wanted to point out (as I did in the discussion section of the page you created) that he did not refuse Zidane. That story is a myth and definitely not true. Zidane never tried out for the Algerian team and was never contacted by the team either. I can find you links to confirm this if you want. So please change the info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TonyStarks (talk • contribs) 01:46, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

I am not sure whether it is true or false but i have a reference [1]. If you have the reference to the interviews please bring it. Cheers -- Szvest ^{Wiki me up ®} 15:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi tony. I am interested to know the exact url of this [2]. -- Szvest ^{Wiki me up ®} 10:17, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is the entire interview. Just click on the 3 scans of the interview. [3]. TonyStarks 05:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Perfect Tony. I appreciate your coopearation. I'll be removing adding this from to both Zidane and Kermali's article. Cheers -- Szvest ^{Wiki me up ®} 12:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Instead of removing it, i add it as a dismissal. Hope this would help readers around the world. -- Szvest ^{Wiki me up ®} 12:25, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Player pictures

Hello Tony. I'm not certain, but almost any picture of a living person seems to get removed as a copyright violation. I think the only acceptable ones a "promotional photos" that are released to the media. You might trying asking on the Talk page for Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, since there are people there who will know for sure. Best regards. Jogurney 20:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
