Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jordan Webb. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Giant Snowman 08:13, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@GiantSnowman: How is updating player statistics unconstructive? Don't bite the newcommers. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:26, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to your own sources, the statistics were inaccurate. I updated these to match your source.

@Walter Görlitz: - and this applies to 68.xxx as well - what I saw was an IP making unexplained and unsourced changes to articles. Please use an edit summary, please confirm what you are doing and why. "Updating stats per Soccerway' or something is enough. Giant Snowman 08:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox dates

Hello, and thank you for trying to keep the as-of date in the infobox up-to-date when you update the stats: plenty of people don't. But please be aware that it's not supposed to be the date of the last match. It's supposed to be a date or date/time at which the stats are unambiguously correct. At David Edgar (footballer), you used the date 7 May: Mr Edgar's last match kicked off at 1130 UTC on 8 May, which is still 8 May Canadian time. The easy way to get it right is to replace whatever's at the |club-update= with five tilde characters, so |club-update=~~~~~ , which the system will convert automatically into the current date and time. I'll fix Edgar, but if you've done any others, you might want to check the dates against whatever source you're using for the stats. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:20, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Struway2: that does not work correctly on all articles. It applies a date in day Month year format. When the article's date format is Month day, year, it's wrong. Don't follow that suggestion if you see a date in that format. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:16, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter Görlitz: Yes, I knew that, having updated Jonathan Spector for some years, but the article I picked up on used day-month-year format, so I never even thought about MDY. I will in future.

Apologies to the owner of this talk page if following my incomplete advice has caused you problems. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 06:42, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather have good updates with bad time stamps than no time stamps at all. There are scripts to fix the dates. So if it's a choice between not updating because it's too complicated, and updating with a mismatched date format, go for the former. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:01, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
