Just thought I'd stop by to say "Wow". I haven't been so active in recent months, but when I come back from time to tine I see all your great work on historical football topics. It is great to see someone relatively new working so diligently in this area and generating quality work. Cbl62 (talk) 16:55, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

And wow, I'm surprised my creations have received that many views - when I joined back in November 2020 (initially only to write two things), I would never have guessed I would go on to create things read by millions!

{{TQ|For modern European players (I'm talking internet era), where we have full-access to sources, can you find anyone with 260 top-flight appearances who is non-notable? Can you find a single modern European FIFA World Cup player for which there is no sigcov?}}

There are a few footballers with 100+ topflight appearances without significant coverage at all, most likely due to low level of sport played in the country. That being said, small population and interest in certain sport, especially tiny islands (e.g. Belize) as well as European microstates (e.g. Liechtenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, etc.) Imagine a footballer playing 200 matches for a football club in San Marino and didn't receive even single significant coverage, other than the fact they played their 100th/200th match...

• Not sure I completely understand your point, but my main argument there was that the odds of someone with so extensive experience not to have coverage – especially for a large football country (in this case, Czechslovakia – much different than e.g. San Marino) – is so incredibly slim that, given no sources from the time were searched, assuming coverage existed would be the only thing that made sense.

Thanks for your edit on Laekin Vakalahi, I remember you from the Olympics. I’m not in the US so although I’ve been a fan of NFL for a few years it was my first attempt at starting a page for a player. I struggled to find info on notability expectations on IPP and practise squad and CFL players - do you have any insight on that? Cheers. G Hildreth gazzard (talk) 21:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

• Hi {{ping|Hildreth gazzard}} – originally, the standard for American football players was that they had to appear in a regular season game in either the NFL or CFL, but that was abolished in 2022. Since then, the standard has only been WP:GNG. Now, usually I find that the vast majority of those who've played in CFL games are notable, while a decent majority of NFL practice squad players and those who have signed with NFL teams through IPP are notable as well – but they shouldn't be assumed notable without proof of significant coverage. It ultimately just comes down to whether there's enough for GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: {{User4|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{User4|Epicgenius}}, {{User4|Frostly}}, {{User4|Guerillero}} and {{User4|Lee Vilenski}}. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Helli @BeanieFan11 I thought I would message you regarding the current discussions surrounding ice skating AFDs. I don't know if you have noticed (if you haven't then this message is pointless!) but I have been involved with some of these discussions and have voted delete on several. As you have been so friendly and helpful towards me in the past, I wanted to assure you that I have not, and never would, vote to delete any article without doing the best checking for coverage that I could. As you may recall I had a number of my articles deleted last year and I would never back deleting anyone else's work without thought as has been suggested by Moscow Connection. Anyway I just wanted to offer and explanation as I would not want you to think badly of me. Best wishes. Shrug02 (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Thanks for the message. I appreciate that there's at least someone doing decent searches for some of these ice skating articles, and I do agree that a decent number may be non-notable. My main concerns with the user's AFDs is that there's such a large number of them (well over [https://afdstats.toolforge.org/afdstats.py?name=Bgsu98&max=&startdate=&altname= over 300 going back to May, mostly in a few massive batches, which included one of 50 AFDs in 30 minutes]) and for many of them, the only users to comment are ones I don't trust as much to do a proper search. A good example of what I mean would be this: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jill Vernekohl. A German national silver medalist from the offline era which receives only two comments – a "redirect" without explanation and another "redirect" whose only rationale is "Should not remain an article." Another example would be Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niko Ulanovsky: two !votes, one of which is "Fail to meet criteria ... No medals ... No sources which meet WP:V," and the other is "per above." I don't think, in those examples, a proper search was done, whereas sometimes when newspaper searches were done, the subject turned out to have clear notability, such as in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbie Smith. But anyways, thanks for the explanation. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

This is Scorpions13256 returning to Wikipedia under a new name with permission from the arbitration committee. How do you find references for foreign olympic athletes? I want to help you out. I also want to help you out again with those NFL IP drafts. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 10:54, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

• {{ping|The Knowledge Pirate}} Nice to see you back. As for the IP, they haven't done that much recently, but they still submit a few from time to time. I still have a list of the ones that haven't been accepted at User:BeanieFan11/IP draft tracker#Still in draftspace, although many have been deleted as abandoned. Now, when it comes to foreign Olympic athletes, for me, personally, I do the following... :)
• If their name is in English script, I search their name in quotes on Google and by each possible way their name could have been reported (e.g. for someone named John Carlos Beanie, I'd do "John Carlos" & "John Beanie" & "John Carlos Beanie"); if their name is common I'll also add the word of the sport they compete in to the search in the language of their country (for sport shooters, "'John Beanie' tiro" if Spanish, "'John Beanie' tiratore" if Italian, tireur if French, etc.). I'll also look up their names in Google Books and perhaps add the sport to the search there as well. Then I'll look in Newspapers.com and, if available, a newspaper archive for their country (I've got a couple decent ones at User:BeanieFan11/Beanie's source guide); if there's no specific newspaper archive for their country, I'll also check the Internet Archive's "texts" collection (there's a few countries which they've got decent archives for).
• If the name is not in English script, e.g. Arabic, I'll search their name the ways listed above in Google & Google Books. I'll hit "select all" for all the results and then copy-paste them into Google Translate to see if any are potentially coverage of the athlete I'm looking for. I may search their English name in Newspapers.com, and if Arabic I'll also check the Internet Archive in their Arabic name (archive.org has a collection of Arabic newspapers).

Hello, it's Clariniie again. As a regular participant of AfD relating to people who mostly spent their career in the pre-internet era, especially athletes, what can be considered ones? In my opinion, such subjects that come to mind are athletes born 1975 and below. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:19, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

• I think usually people who've spent the majority of their career prior to about 2000-2005 are "pre-internet" – though it can vary a little by country, e.g. a decent number of U.S. news websites from those years are still accessible, while e.g. Niger I don't think has any archives before the mid 2010s.

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Gog the Mild}} with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Generalissima}} with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|BeanieFan11}}, with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Sammi Brie}}, with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Hey man im josh}}, with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|MaranoFan}}, with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi, I kindly request tips on doing research on athletes from the past. Looking at your user talk page looks like you are pretty good at this.

• Hello, {{ping|1ctinus}}, it can vary a little based on where the athlete's from, but I give an explanation for my usual search process in the above #Scorpions13256 section. If one's available, I often go to different newspaper archives for relevant countries (e.g. Trove for Australia, E-NewspaperArchives.ch for Switzerland), though unfortunately for some there's no online archives (particularly most countries from Africa, much of Asia). BTW, taking a look at Robert Oliver (cyclist), which you mentioned at the Olympics talk page, I searched PapersPast (a decent New Zealand newspaper archive) and found a story on him [https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19711002.2.105?end_date=31-12-1989&items_per_page=10&query=%22Robert+Oliver%22+Olympics&snippet=true&start_date=01-01-1967 here].

Quotes from Cliff Christl's book on Jim Coffeen.

• {{Cite book| isbn = 978-1940056999 | title = The Greatest Story in Sports: Green Bay Packers 1919-2019 | last = Christl | first = Cliff | author-link = Cliff Christl | year = 2021 | publisher = KCI Sports Publishing}}
• Page 23: "In early November, Jim Coffeen, who had played for several amateur teams in Green Bay over the previous five years and had played at East High in 1904, organized the Green Bay All-Stars to play a benefit game for the Brown County chapter of the Red Cross. Curly Lambeau started at right halfback and scored two touchdowns as the All-Stars beat the Marinette Badgers, 27-0, before roughly 1,200 fans at Hagemeister Park." (this was in November 1917)
• Page 40: "Jim Coffeen: Age 31. Stood 5 feet 10 inches, weighed 180 pounds. Played in 10 games. Started five at quarterback and one at left halfback. Born in Fort Howard, Wis. Played at Green Bay East High School in 1904. Played at Findlay College in Ohio in 1909 and Beloit College in 1910. At Beloit, he beat Ripon with a last-minute dropkick on October 22, but was expelled from school three weeks later when it was discovered that he attended East High for only two years and misrepresented himself on his college application. Veteran of city amateur teams."
• Page 46: "Among those who made the trip were Lambeau's wife, Marguerite, and Christine Coffeen, the new bride of Packers quarterback Jim Coffeen. In 1910, Coffeen had starred in two games for Beloit College before being expelled when it was discovered he had attended Green Bay East High School for only two years and misrepresented himself on his college application." (the context of this quote was the trip to play the infamous Beloit Faires game the Packers lost in 1919 6-0)
• Page 72: "Before the Cardinals game, Jim Coffeen, one of the original Packers, got the railroads to provide special train service with reduced rates for the team's fans." (the context of this quote is in regards to a 1921 game at the Chicago Cardinals, November 21, 1921)

I've always admired your work with sports-related DYK/GAs, especially with some of the recent football players - if you're interested, I've always thought that a 1920s-era player, Marty Norton, had some pretty good expansion potential, though have never gotten around to it.

I saw some delete !votes at that AfD that were basing it on NTRACK and NATH. So we're not allowed to vote keep based off NSPORTS stuff (everything has to pass GNG) but others can use the criteria there to vote delete without even looking for sources? Yeah, that's totally fair. I doubt there was any discussion about what's leftover of NTRACK anyway. Even when 100% of NBA players in history were shown as passing GNG, it wasn't good enough to reinstate NBASKETBALL, so NTRACK doesn't mean squat. NSPORT should just be deleted if people are going to use that leftover undiscussed criteria to delete stuff. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 03:54, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

• NSPORT is broken and a mess of nonsense at this point. The only possible benefit is passing NATH + one piece of SIGCOV can occasionally result in a keep that would otherwise be delete on the basis that 'fails GNG', although I've only ever seen a small handful of outcomes like that.

File:Stop hand nuvola.svg Your recent editing history at :United Arab Emirates at the 2000 Summer Olympics shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello. Do you think Juan Astorquia has any chances of becoming a GA? Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 02:19, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

• I'll look into it tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• {{ping|Barr Theo}} It may have a chance – one thing you'll need to do though is establish that all of the sources are reliable. E.g. a heavily used source seems to be memoriasclubdeportivodebilbao.blogspot.com – what makes that blog reliable? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:12, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• :I have fixed that. Anything else? Barr Theo (talk) 22:08, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
• :: I do still see a citation to that site (ref 16) – anything which cannot be verified by a reliable source should be removed. The prose I read seemed okay (the captions -- {{tq|Juanito Astorquia, as always, poses with the ball}}, do seem a little informal - you may want to just say e.g. "Astorquia, posing with the ball") – I haven't looked all that thoroughly at the sourcing, but if you're confident that each source is reliable and that everything's verified, you could probably nominate it.

I see you also noticed that user who just closed the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Miguel_M%C3%A1rquez_(footballer) AfD] for this article created their account today and clearly doesn't have the authority to close the discussion.

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|BeanieFan11}} with 1,233 round points from 24 good articles, 28 Did you know articles, and one In the news nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Thebiguglyalien}} with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier featured articles on Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) and Grace Coolidge, in addition to two GAs and two reviews
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|History6042}} with 1,088 round points from four featured lists about Michelin-starred restaurants, nine good articles and a good topic mostly on Olympic-related subjects, seven ITN articles, and dozens of reviews
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Gog the Mild}} with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews
• {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Arconning}} with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Generalissima}} for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hey mate,

Well done on the contributions at the Europe destubathon about Bosnia. Just wanted to drop you a line that the past week I was looking for some countries to go for the prize in, and Bosnia was on the list, but I let it go, since I respect your editing, in general and the great destubs on this tournament (like 8000? Wow!) Cheers! --SuperJew (talk) 18:10, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
