2021–22 Serie C

Hi Angelo, I came here just to tell you that I've already prepared the sections Stadia and locations and the templates of tables with all info. I'm waiting for the Lega Pro to formalize groups. I told you in case you meant to work on it --Andyen94 (talk) 14:11, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

They are in my sandbox --Andyen94 (talk) 15:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your work. Groups will not be announced before July, and even their composition is probably not going to be that way (the major doubts being Olbia, Pescara and the two clubs who will play home games in Viterbo, Viterbese and Monterosi), and of course subject to possible club exclusions (Catania for instance has been hinted as a possible one), so I have not done anything on that regard, apart from just adding a list of teams that are meant to be members of the league next season. --Angelo (talk) 21:31, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Club seasons

Hi, I noticed that you are the creator of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Club seasons. Was this guideline meant to be binding and mandatory to follow when it was created back in 2007?--Sakiv (talk) 16:24, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Guidelines are not binding and mandatory, that is why they are called 'guidelines' and not 'rules', and they can be open to alternative proposals and improvements of course. On the other hand, the idea behind that guideline was to have a normalized way to present club seasons in order to avoid having entirely different articles in terms of structure and style when covering similar subjects. --Angelo (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Well then, I'm going to make a request about making changes to this guideline. That's because there are users who change the long-standing layout of articles (such as using football box collapsible) under the pretext of implementing this guideline.--Sakiv (talk) 20:13, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Dancing satyr moved to draftspace beacuse it's unsources

An article you recently created, Dancing satyr, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Serie D club seasons

Hi Angelo, are Serie D club seasons encyclopedic? I meant to create the pages of sicilian clubs, with at least first team squad and results. PS: if it's possible, what about clubs which didn't have a page? For example Biancavilla and Troina --Andyen94 (talk) 09:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I would say no, since they are amateur teams by definition, and we do not consider amateur players as encyclopedic. I might maybe accept exceptions to be made through WP:GNG for major clubs who are being restarted from Serie D following a bankruptcy (examples: Bari, Parma, Palermo, etc). About Serie D clubs, there is no clear rule, differently than it.wiki (where Serie D clubs are generally deemed as non-notable unless they have consistently played at that level for a long span of time). It has also been suggested by many people, including the FIGC chairman himself, that a new non-professional division between Serie C and Serie D might be introduced from next season. [1][2]

I can also tell you it can be quite a struggle to even find reliable news for transfer changes at Serie D level. Amateur transfer market is open for almost the whole season, and it is not uncommon to see a team releasing or signing tens of players at once with no formal announcement. (Many of these teams do not even have an official website that is actually kept updated, in fact.) --Angelo (talk) 11:18, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. It means I'll put more effort on professional clubs--Andyen94 (talk) 12:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Merchandise giveaway nomination

A token of thanks Hi Angelo.romano! I've nominated you (along with all other active admins) to receive a solstice season gift from the WMF. Talk page stalkers are invited to comment at the nomination. Enjoy! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} talk ~~~~~

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Concern regarding Draft:Dancing satyr

Hello, Angelo.romano. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Dancing satyr, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:02, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Paddy Pimblett/Marca

Ciao Angelo, come va?

Thanks for your post at the Paddy Pimblett deletion discussion. I have a quick question for you as an Italian wikipedian living in Spain, how do you evaluate the reliability of Marca? Would you put it in the same bracket as Gazzetta dello Sport or is it less reliable?

I remember from when I lived in Spain that it published a lot of speculative football transfer gossip, and therefore didn't add it to my list of sources that mention Pimblett as I felt there was enough there already and I didn't want to get into nitpicks about its reliability. I would general consider it reliable, but not for speculative content, but I'd love to hear your view. --Boynamedsue (talk) 19:20, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Marca is definitely a reliable source, as Gazzetta dello Sport is. In fact, they both belong to the same editorial group (RCS MediaGroup) so they can be considered "sister" publications. Speculative transfer gossip can be found literally everywhere nowadays, so that does not automatically disqualify per se a specific newspaper or media, hence it should be just ignored as such due to the article's nature (and also per WP:NOTNEWS), rather than the website it comes from. --Angelo (talk) 00:17, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks a million, I think I will add those sources to the AfD discussion then.

All the best. Boynamedsue (talk) 05:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
