I've had it with my brother vandalising stuff using my account. (observe the inconsistency: I care little about soccer as my user page shows.) Please block the IP Address, no exceptions if necessary. Sioraf (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what is going on. I don't know who Soriaf is, apart from when I warned that account for vandalism. Apparently his brother was using his account (while still logged in) to vandalize. Boeing, who are you directing your comments to? Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 03:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Directing to Sioraf (talk · contribs).----Boeing7107isdelicious|Sprich mit meine Piloten 04:16, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying. I was worried that there was some confusion as to whether or not I was involved with Soriaf's vandalizing or if someone had thought we were the same person for some reason. Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 04:23, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Ok. But his name's Sioraf, and not Soriaf. Kind regards,----Boeing7107isdelicious|SPRiCh miT meineN PiloteN 09:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed II

How was my assassins creed 2 rating not neutral. Please explain that to me —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hansen587 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm responding to your (Hansen587) question on my talk page. Your edit is not neutral because it's an opinion (phrases like "The blood aspect of the game is rather evident, but not totally gory and disgusting" depends on your definition/interpretation, and "Parents should know that this game has its violence, but is nothing awful. Assassin’s Creed 2 has nothing terrible in it and it is definitely an appropriate game for 14 and older." is your opinion) Verification by reliable sources is necessary for inclusion of information. Wikipedia also does not accept original research. If you find some reliable sources describing what you would like to include, by all means throw the information in there and cite it. However, you can't add your own, unverified opinions or analysis. Wikipedia is not an essay on an individual person's opinions (unless that is the article topic, etc.). Once again, this is not to say that information along these lines is unacceptable, merely that you need to provide verifiable, neutral, reliable sources for it. I mean, I own and play Assassin's Creed II, so I understand what you're writing about. The ESRB would certainly disagree with your statement that it's OK for 14-year olds, and no single user's opinions are really notable enough to merit inclusion. In summation, feel free to add information similar to what you added, provided that it's backed up by suitable sources. I have no gripes about the nature of your information, just that it was added as a personal editorial, rather than an encyclopedic description of reliable sources. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Cocytus [»talk«] 00:08, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

RfD of Assassin's Creed III

Hello, you recently participated in an AfD for Assassin's Creed III which closed as "speedy redirect". I have created a redirect discussion to gain consensus on whether a redirect is suitable at the time, or whether it would be better to remain as a red link until more concrete information is available. Please feel free to contribute here: Wikipedia:RfD#Assassin.27s_Creed_III. Hope this helps, --Taelus (talk) 14:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

My apologies

Sorry about the David "Aston" Villa edit, it's an old joke that I'm sure you've long since tired of editing out. It's not something I'd usually do (stupid edits on wikipedia) and I'd actually meant to revert it after a couple of minutes but forgot. It won't happen again. Respect for the work you do here (though I'm aware I didn't show it earlier), keep it up, and once again, sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.212.84.222 (talk) 19:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

No worries, I'm glad that it hasn't become a habit. It's always my stance to assume good faith! Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 19:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi from FkpCascais

Hello Cocytus. I think we never spoke directly, so I wanted to tell you "Hi" and talk a little with you (I hope you don´t mind) :) . I couldn´t refrein from notecing that you make a lot of stuff and edits about Azerbaijani League. I wanted to ask you something: since I´m football statistics fanatic, I actually adore the foreign players lists, and I feel really sorry that somebody started making a List of foreign Azerbaijan Premier League players but I think the work was left in middle. It would be very interesting to have that list completed. I did some lists of that kind for Serbia and all ex-Yugoslavia, and I know that there aren´t many stars, but, like in my lists cases, Azerbaijan also started importing some pretty interesting players. I tought trying to do it myself, but my only source would be the Worldfootball lists of all players of all Azerbeijan first league clubs, that, from my experience, are good, but incomplete and sometimes inacurate (the website, in general). Well, nevermind. I have a more important thing to say to you. I have to apologise to you couse I "attacked" one of your pages at football project talk page some weeks ago. The thing was that I found "your" Goran Arnaut page where you missed his early career and wrongly put him as Slovenian (I know it was hard to find sources, couse I touth doing myself his page some time ago, couse he played in my club: FK Partizan and I wanted to do it for "my" List of FK Partizan players and I remember it was hard at that time) and afterwords I saw the Jure Obšivač page with only 1 cap... so, I initially touth you were doing a bad job here... Well, I was wrong. It´s great to have here editors like you, and you are a good editor. I apologise to you once more. Please feel free to ask me whatever you want, and I´ll be glad if I can help you in any way in the future. I hope you also allow me to ask you for help couse I may need some stats from Azerbaijani league for some biographies (there are more and more players going there...). I hope I´m not borring you with all this, so I send you the best regards. FkpCascais (talk) 06:12, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, my friend! It is nice to meet you. I've seen you around, but, as you mentioned, I don't think we've formally met one another yet. Thank you for being the one to break the ice! I started editing the Azerbaijani football articles almost accidentally. I was looking over the lists of requested soccer articles a while back, and ended up getting into editing some ones on Azerbaijani football players, and I've never really looked back. I think it was one of the more underrepresented leagues/areas of football on Wikipedia, and I've learned a lot and I hope I've improved it, if only a little. I can do my best to help you out with List of foreign Azerbaijan Premier League Players, but as I stated, I'd hardly call myself an expert on Azerbaijani football, although I know a lot more than I did a few months ago.
As for an apology, none is needed. You were simply trying to do what you thought was best for the project, I always try to do. The Goran Arnaut page was problematic, and I had a hard time trying to figure out which ethnicity to put, since half of my sources said Slovenian, and half said Serbian. One source said half-and-half. I ended up going with Slovenian because I think one site I saw said he was born in present-day Slovenia or something to that effect. I was actually very happy when you stepped in to edit it, because I don't feel that I own any pages, and my most important concern was that it was accurate, which it now is, thanks to you. I appreciate your work and your help on "my" articles, because two heads are always better than one. I only initially listed Jure Obšivač as having one cap (if I remember correctly) because I could only confirm one, I think, and I wanted to make it obvious that he had played in a match in a professional league, which would make him notable under WP:ATHLETE. I think I was worried that if I left it blank someone might delete it as non-notable.
Thanks again for your compliments; your kind words are appreciated. All the edits I've seen you make so far have been productive and beneficial to the project, and I hope we will collaborate in the future for the better of the project! Best, Cocytus [»talk«] 16:12, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Many thanx Cocytus. I just didn´t wanted you to think I´m an as***le (I mainly am, but I try not to be it here...). About the WP:OWN I know it well, but between us, when you loose time and energy with some page, as we do, we do feel them a little bit as "ours", and the real situation here is somewhere in the middle... For instance, I have a autoreview rights with the pages I make, so I do feel some kind of resposability about edits on those pages to be done resposably, so the info there is precise as posible. All editors, with or without autoreview rights, should really behave this way, and mostly do, about the pages they make. So, you´ll have to update, from now on, Obsivač´s caps&goals in his entire career... just joking.
About Azerbaijani league, you´re right. There wasn´t much about it before. The clubs there are groing incredible fast, so you are the main editor of a very perspective league. Personally, my interess goes about exactly those kind of articles (not David Beckham or Real Madrid, everibody knows almost everything about them, and those articles are mostly all already "perfect"). I usually do the same as you. I usually open 3 or 4 sites about a certain player, and then cross all information to make it as complete as possible (specially with the less known players). I did made, or completed, some players that have played in Azerbaijan lately, and I´m missing their stats in all of them. Can you recomend me some website, that not the official club ones, where I can find them? Like 90minut is for Poland, Romaniansoccer for Romania, Srbijafudbal for Serbia or PrvaLiga for Slovenia... FkpCascais (talk) 03:51, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
No worries. I'm glad to hear that you (like myself) always try to make sure the information in articles is as accurate as possible: it's important. I agree that some footballer articles are so well-covered (which makes sense with their fan base) that it's pretty much impossible to edit them, unless new events happen (I sometimes add BBC Sport citations for contract extensions, injuries, etc. to high profile players). I've been using Soccerway quite a bit, and they usually have pretty good information. The only problem I've had thus far is that for Azerbaijani footballers the caps/goals tallies often appear to only be the most recent season. This is good and bad because at least for some players it establishes that they've had a cap for the senior team (thus allowing them to pass WP:ATHLETE) it's also bad because for players who are quite old (30s, etc.) it leaves out a lot of information. I usually use it to try to establish that a player has definitely played at a club in the Azerbaijan Premier League, and thus merits inclusion. I hope this helps. Regards, Cocytus [»talk«] 14:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I know the site. It´s nice for the current seasons stats (but also available in other sites...) but for previous seasons not. Well, if you find something interesting let me know. About the list of foreign players in AZE, I´ll try to completed when I´ll have time, but there are already some editors working on it, so I´m not sure what they have in mind. Well stay in touch, best regards. FkpCascais (talk) 20:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
