• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using reference tags like this, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research.
• A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.

• Hi, the simplest way to add sources is to put them inside ref tags like this: URL goes here. Alternatively you can click on the cite button which appears above the box you type into. then click the button that comes up called "Templates", then click the right template, website, newspaper, journal etc. IRWolfie- (talk) 13:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated and I look forward to contributing more to the site. :)--RedBullWarrior (talk) 13:26, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

::No worries :). Just a small note on using the talkback template, to have it form properly you write it like this: {{talkback|RedBullWarrior}}, happy editing, IRWolfie- (talk) 13:29, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

• You may also find WP:REFB useful, it provides a basic introduction to the mechanics of actually adding references. Monty₈₄₅ 14:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Cheers for that, looks useful enough and I'm starting to get into the swing of it all.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 15:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi there from Portugal,

as you can see from the refs i added to the player's page, he has not moved to Deportivo de La Coruña, has returned to Sporting and probably will not play at least this season. Please don't add it again.

"Whistle" if you need anything, happy editing --AL (talk) 13:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

• The Goal.com ref is also good, we'll add it to the article as it is in English. Thanks, nice teamwork! --AL (talk) 14:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah my pleasure. Goal.com is one of my favourite football references for European transfers (a lot of the other ones are in other languages). But yeah, hopefully we'll work together on various other pages. Peace be with you.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 15:02, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Please avoid making edits that inject personal opinion without sources, as you've done on B3ta and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I have reverted both edits.

You should also preview your edits to ensure they do not cause formatting issues, as is the case at 2012–13 Villarreal CF season. I have not reverted this, please make an effort to correct. When using the ref tag, you should place before the reference, and after the reference. In this case you seem to have placed just .

Got it now, cheers for the help. :)--RedBullWarrior (talk) 16:51, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't see why the Valencia number change has to be in the article at all, but if you're absolutely intent on including it, it could easily go in the "Transfers" section in relation to Michael Owen's departure. – PeeJay 23:11, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

:That's a fair enough point, but the number 7 shirt has been worn by various club legends. And you're missing the point a little here, he isn't transferring to the number 7, he is more inheriting it. The transfers section is for players moving in/out.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 23:14, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

::I'm not saying he is "transferring" to the number 7, I'm just saying it makes far more sense to say that he's taking over from the departing Michael Owen (who is mentioned in the Transfers section) than to shove a non-sequitur statement into the Pre-season section cack-handedly. – PeeJay 23:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

ah i see, sorry my mistake :)--RedBullWarrior (talk) 23:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Redbull,

When commenting on an AFD, make sure to only leave one bolded response. You can comment on other responses but should only have one bolded comment for the outcome. If you change your vote (As you did from Delete to Redirect for Ghost), go back and do a strikethrough on your original vote. You shouldn't delete it, but the strikethrough will let people know you changed your option. To do this, surround your original bolded choice with

Thanks! -- ferret (talk) 14:43, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok, will remember that for future, hopefully this will all soon fall into place for me..--RedBullWarrior (talk) 20:12, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

:Don't sweat it, there's a lot to learn. -- ferret (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I know, it looks like there's more to this place than I thought. Good thing I'm heading in the right direction on this place, unlike my stupid cousin who got banned.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 21:12, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Im back from my wiki-break, which happened to be a little longer than planned. But just so you all know im back and will begin contributing again as usual.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 11:36, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed | 1=I was merely returning under good faith, I wasn't intending to slip back into vandalism. I tried to get Doughnuthead banned so I don't have to worry about him anymore and focus on Wikipedia itself. Look at my contribs for this account, you'll see none of them are vandalism, thereby proving I am able to conduct myself in a responsible fashion.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 15:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC) | decline=Trying to get yourself banned was a bit silly, wasn't it? That would get you, the person, banned, not just your Doughnuthead account, and it would make it impossible for any individual admin to unblock any other accounts of yours, including this one. I'm revoking Talk page access now - you need to follow the appropriate procedure from your Doughnuthead account, and if editing is disabled, that means following WP:BASC -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)}}

Also note that the block template above states that having multiple accounts is allowed if they are used for legitimate purposes, which I was doing.--RedBullWarrior (talk) 15:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

:{{nao}} But you're using this account to evade your current indefblock on Doughnuthead, which makes it not legitimate. Blocks are on the person, not the account. The right way to return would be to follow the criteria you were given and request an unblock on the Doughnuthead account. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:46, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
