- Thank you for the tip about signing edits. I will make sure that I do this in the future. Pope Judas (talk) 06:56, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
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.

- This is a most curious conundrum.
- I haven’t been the element of the simulation that has had their handler make reverts, I’m simply attempting to adhere to a global standard.
- My changes were reverted by a fellow NPC at the behest of their handler.
- In other words, ‘not I said the wolf’ Pope Judas (talk) 12:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- No. If the entire article uses “soccer” instead of “football”, I will revert it to “soccer”, especially if other articles related to the team such as the results page use “soccer”. Stop or you’re getting reported. Nearly but not perfect (talk) 13:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Now now old chap, there is no need for this pseudo hyper masculine posturing.
- Could you point to the place on the football where the bad man touched it?
- Report away, champ. I’m sure that the volunteers who keep this great and prosperous place running will be delighted with your penchant for policing people’s propensity for elucidating the masses.
- Take a trip to the room of mirrors and have a good hard look at yourself. Pope Judas (talk) 15:47, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- There is not a “global standard” as you refer to. Some regions, including the USA and Australia, Wikipedia has consensus that the name is to be soccer. Please refer to the page WP:NCFIA, have a good read of that, old chap, and desist from changing the name at what now seems your every opportunity.Matilda Maniac (talk) 22:09, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

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) 12:06, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don’t change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don’t normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people’s versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. In Australian context, association football is called “soccer”. —C.Fred (talk) 10:47, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- Vandalise?
- I’m not sure what you are talking about, champ. I have not vandalised a single character of any article, ever. Pope Judas (talk) 11:11, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- You’ve gone on a spree this morning, changing “soccer” to “association football” in a dozen or more articles. —C.Fred (talk) 11:12, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
- You are somewhat uptight and authoritarian, aren’t you?
- No, I didn’t.
- It was an evening, I have more pressing issues in life than editing articles, and am more often than not, occupied during the day.
- The original, and internationally accepted name of the game of football is association football. ‘Soccer’ is a bastardisation of ‘assoc’.
- In Asia and Oceania, the majority of football associations use the word football, and the governing bodies reflect the acceptance of the usage of the word football in their names, and indeed, most clubs use the “FC” initials as part of their names.
- Footballers themselves prefer the word ‘football’ as opposed to the pejorative ‘soccer’ save perhaps for those native to North America.
- I will continue to refer to football clubs and football players by their preferred sports nouns. You look after the ‘soccer’ players, and I’ll look after the ‘footballers’. Pope Judas (talk) 11:04, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
