Hi Jaime070996

Welcome to Wikipedia

I really appreciate your interest in improving wiki articles. However, there are rules and policies that one must follow. I have tried before to update the logo of the salvadoran team, but with a few problems. If u can, please update the new logo without a background, just like the other logos found at most of the national team articles. I'm going to try to upload the new logo of the El Salvador national football team within the next few days if no one can. Thank you. User:JGA2k (talk) , August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Mr. Jaime070996 on Wikipedia

I've seen the El Salvador national football team at Wikimedia Commons, the kit is made by Bruno-ban, to see more information click here. --Abdul Qayyum Ahmad (talk) 05:19, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Elsalvador.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:05, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Costa Rica national football team, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability.

Unfortunately, I stopped this copyedit as it is a copyright infringement of http://www.fesfut.org.sv/historia.php. Material appears to be a cut/paste of a translation-engine translation of the web site. The article was flagged for CSD G12. I advise you to move the page to a subpage of your user page, then work to rewrite all of the content. Once completed, feel free to request the copyediting services of the GOCE. Thank you! jsfouche ☽☾ talk 03:41, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to El Salvador national football team has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Ajraddatz (Talk) 03:57, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi; why did you remove so much content with that edit? I couldn't see any reason why that much should have been removed, which is why I reverted. Ajraddatz (Talk) 04:02, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is still a good bit of editing going on with this article. A copyedit should be done on a stable article, not one being actively edited. jsfouche ☽☾ talk 06:33, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mr. Jaime070996

I really appreciate your contributions to the El Salvador national football team article. However i somehow feel the article is starting to look bulky and unorganized. I think we should refrain from adding minor things that really have not much importance such as the kits. Maybe one or two jerseys only. Thank you User:JGA2k (talk) 7:05, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Your addition to El Salvador national football team has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Several sections of this article appear to be copies of machine-translated versions of other websites, some with minor editing. Minor editing is not sufficient to prevent a copyright violation. Please do not make contributions that are not written in your own words. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 01:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot paste copyright problems on your own userpages either. The content has been removed. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:30, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that it has not been changed. The example I placed at the talk page was from the version of the article immediately before I blanked it. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:59, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First, the entire article will need to be checked that ensure that there is no other content remaining that you placed here as a direct translation of that source or the other one, [1], remains. If this is the only passage remaining from that edit, the passage will be deleted. If there is other content, the article will be reverted to a clean version, unless a usable rewrite is proposed. The article had already been listed for review at the copyright problems board. It has been relisted and will be revisited by me or another uninvolved administrator in a week to see what additional steps are necessary. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:09, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know that there are no other infringements, in the article there is mostly graphs that is all. Although I have learned from past mistakes and added text from other websites in my own words. i don't think you known that this is an edit from October. I asure you that other infringments will not be found due to precautions. Thank you. Jaime070996 21:19, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion has begun about whether the article Dustin Corea, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dustin Corea until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Regent of the Seatopians (talk) 23:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you removed Mardoqueo Henriquez from the current squad section of the El Salvador national football team, what is the reason? Thank you User:JGA2k (talk) 21:13, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:FESFUT logo of es.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

This template is quite nice. I made some differences in sandbox. Do you think that one could be better? (assistant manager maybe also?) I have thought about making Template:Infobox national football team season, but it's the same thing, right? Adding kits should be next thing, I think (like here). Cheers! Pelmeen10 (talk) 18:41, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, and wins, loses, win %, maybe goals against? Pelmeen10 (talk) 18:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you made some radical changes in the sandbox. I think that it came out very nice. But I don't know if you would want to change the template documentation (usage and parameters). I'll change the template documentation then. Thanks.Jaime070996 23:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One question: For what national team will you make this for. I am currently active in El Salvador national football team season 2011.Jaime070996 23:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have documentation here. Do you think we should add (number of) debutants, (number of) capped players, (number of) goalscorers also? I'm gonna make it for Estonia national football team 2010. :) Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:41, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It really isn't much necessary. Here is the result after I added all of the documentation. Thanks for everything, though. Jaime070996 23:58, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks very good. I don't think anybody wants to fill all the parameters anyway, but it doesn't make any bad if they are added. Thanks for the template and good luck with El Salvador national team, hope you achieve FA. Pelmeen10 (talk) 00:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Jaime070996 01:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jaime,

How do you convert an image to SVG? I saw that you accomplished this with the Portland Timbers' logo.

JaMikePA (talk) 20:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I used a software for imagery: Gimp 2.6 Jaime070996 23:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I have just given it a quick look for formatting considerations. MoS is pretty limiting in what can and cannot be put in bold. I am not sure that you need the dates as headers, especially in March!, the other two articles you have given for comparison just use the month header and individual dates are simple written into the body of the text.

Have a look and see what you want to do and it should be tackled by GOCE as one of the next articles. Chaosdruid (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd want it to be similar to 2010–11 FC Barcelona season, Season Overview-wise. Could you also do a complete copyedit to the article. Jaime070996 18:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A copyedit will not change the structure, it will just look at the text already there and edit it. If you want help with formatting the page you should try someone in the football project or similar who would have more time, and better understand the normal way these pages are written.

The copyedit will get done soon I am sure, there are some others in the list before this one. I will give you a nod when someone starts working on it ;¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 09:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, did you change the copyedit request? It seems that the time and date stamp may have changed?

I have reordered the requests (putting the most recent at the bottom) and then noticed that the El Salvador team one was dated the 27th? Chaosdruid (talk) 12:58, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:El Salvador Squad 2011 Copa Centroamericana has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. GoPurple'nGold₂₄ 04:07, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Pilo has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Opining statement

I an beginning the review of this nomination. Over the coming days, I will evaluate this nomination against Wikipedia's good article criteria. All interested participants are invited to provide their constructive input. While any editor is welcome, to indent and append under, any specific bullet where they have reason, please only initiate comments in the section appropriate to your level of involvement. — My76Strat (talk) 06:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After my initial read of this article, I find it is well written, and has the appearance of a good nomination for "GA" assessment. There are some issues, mostly minor, which we will discuss below. This will be an effort to improve the article in areas where we can. I do want to commend the nominator for what looks like a dedicated effort, over time, to bring this article to its current standard. In critiquing the article below, I will start at the top and continue through each section consecutively until we reach the product of our best effort. In my critique, all statements of improvement are suggestions, and may be amended by editing, or mitigated by discussion to reach a best outcome. I leave editing to the nominator or other contributors, and generally do not edit an article I am reviewing. Of course if a violation occurs, (copyvio, BLP issue, negative un-sourced) I will not delay in correcting such an occurrence. If something is unclear, ask for a clarification, and if you are technically unsure, ask for guidance. I am happy to assist in anyway possible, and if I don't know the answer, I will help find it. So; here we go. — My76Strat (talk) 07:38, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments initiated by reviewer

The lead

• The template for announcing information regarding the team's current status seems to detract from the article and bunches into the area better suited for the infobox. I suggest including this as an additional hat note, like the one for the women's team. My76Strat (talk) 07:59, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Deleted. Jaime070996 22:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

•  Fixed My76Strat (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Copy edit the article for over linking. In the first paragraph, football is linked twice. As a rule, link only terms which add valuable information, link the first occurrence of each term as they occur in a section, and link it only once within a section. My76Strat (talk) 08:05, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Deleted one link. Jaime070996 22:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

•  Fixed My76Strat (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• In the first sentence, where it says: "...and is controlled by the...", controlled is too strong of an association. "Sanctioned by" is more in keeping with the function of a sanctioning body, and removes the possible impression that the team is controlled. My76Strat (talk) 08:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Changed according to the reviewer. Jaime070996 22:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

•  Fixed My76Strat (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• The sentence which says, "In 1899, the selection of Santa Ana and the selection of San Salvador met for the first ..." is confusing. A concise presentation removes ambiguity without any loss of meaning. For example, I suggest: "In 1899, Santa Ana and San Salvador met for the first ...". My76Strat (talk) 09:14, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Changed according to the reviewer. Jaime070996 22:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

•  Fixed My76Strat (talk) 09:37, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Consider removing these details from the lead: "Raúl Díaz Arce is the top-scorer with 39 goals, while Leonel Cárcamo has the record of being the most capped Salvadoran player with 84 appearances. The El Salvador national football team has presented itself with 41 managers in total, in the national team, and currently the head coach is Rubén Israel.". Most of this is better situated in the body, and when you expand to include this in the body, avoid using current terms which are only conditionally valid. For example the top scorer today might change tomorrow. Therefore when you make such statements, include stating: As of September, 2011, the top scorer was ...". or "the manager was ...". This way it is valid beyond today, and can be corrected when appropriate. See WP:DATED for more information. My76Strat (talk) 09:35, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Left it in the lead with the addition of the {{as of}} template.

• In this sentence, "El Salvador's national football team's first match came in September 1921", if the match came, they should be the home team, otherwise it is better to say the "first match 'was' in September" to remove that misdirection. My76Strat (talk) 06:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Changed.

• This sentence in the lead, "The Estadio Cuscatlan, also known as "El Coloso De Montserrat" and "La Catedral del Espectaculo", is the official home stadium of the El Salvador national football team with a capacity of 52,000 seats for the public." summarizes a lot of information. None of it is currently expanded in the body. Every point, the stadium name, nicknames, and capacity must be restated somewhere in the body, and there expanded. For example you can add statistics on average attendance, highest attended match, least attended match, construction date and cost, and so on, as long as additional information is presented. The lead is a summary of what is to follow, and not the place to introduce stand alone prose. My76Strat (talk) 07:00, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Made it more simple and introduced more information to the body.

Beginnings of the national team

• This sentence, "The local team won the game 2–0." is the first place a score is shown. Later inclusions might show a similar statement as: "The local team won the game (2–0)." Why are some enclosed in brackets and others not? If there is a reason, (I presume there is) consider adding a footnote explaining what the difference means. My76Strat (talk) 09:56, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Wrote in the footnote.

• This sentence, "... had a better footballistic structure ...", seems to introduce a neologism. We should avoid such terms with specialized meaning or inside understanding. Use only terms understood by the broadest reading audience. My76Strat (talk) 05:14, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Made it more understandable to the reader.

• This sentence, "... the biennial UNCAF Nations Cup, the Pan American Games, the Olympics, and have achieved ..." establishes positive use of the serial comma. The next example, "... Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and El Salvador were able ...", omits its use. WP:SERIAL covers that this stylistic option should remain consistent throughout the article. Correct all occurrences of the serial comma to the style consistent with your preference. My76Strat (talk) 05:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Changed all of the serial commas so it could be "1,2, and 3."

External links

• Use the external media template for external images: {{external media | align = right | width = | image1 = | image2 = | image3 = }} My76Strat (talk) 06:04, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Added the external media template.

Comments initiated by article contributors

• The hat note for that template may not be necessary because it is already being used in the article. See: Recent results and upcoming fixtures. Maybe just taking that template off would be the best option. Jaime070996 18:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• That is a good point, and I think your correction was valid. My76Strat (talk) 09:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• The sentence concerning that the team is "controlled" may be too strong. My suggestion may also be "managed" but "santioned by" is also a good word. Jaime070996 18:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree there are other terms you could use that would be good. There are other terms that would be worse as well, so just remember we don't want to give the reader an idea that goes beyond what we are trying to say. To be honest, "managed" could confuse and encroach the duties of a team manager, which many teams have. My76Strat (talk) 09:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Somehow these amateur "clubs" back then were called Selections (Spanish: "Selecciones"). It might be confusing, because the reader might not know that Santa Ana and San Salvador were a made-up team for that occasion. More confusion might arise because the links link to the states of the country of El Salvador and not any team in particular. But I do like your suggestion. It is the lead and it doesn't have to cover everything. The article body will emphasize on clearing any confusion. Jaime070996 18:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, these expanded details are better situated in the body, while we want the lead to give a good summary. My76Strat (talk) 09:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Concerning the details of the lead, I would not know where to put it in the body if it is moved. Jaime070996 19:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Also, the parenthesized scores could be deleted all at once. With or with out it, there is no difference. Deleting the parenthesis would create less confusion to the reader. Jaime070996 19:06, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes it would be better if they were all presented one way, or if there is a distinguishing factor, such as home team scores as 5–3 and visiting away scores as (5–3), a footnote annotating that distinction would be appropriate. My76Strat (talk) 06:27, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:SanJoseEarthquakes 2008.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Malpass⁹₃! (what I've been ^up to/_drop me a ^___) 23:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:37, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
