Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created List of Orlando City SC records and statistics, and I noticed that your username, "Ocscok", may not comply with our username policy.

Reverting vs applying

When I reverted the change of nationality, you had not yet added the caps and. It would have been better (less intrusive) to simply change the roster. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2022

Copyright problem icon Your edit to 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 14:54, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diannaa there seems to be a misunderstanding as the edits in question were part of the competition rules with regards to tiebreaking procedures which, for obvious reasons, were written verbatim as a point of fact and accuracy. This section is not intended to be written in anything other than the source's official wording as it is part of the rulebook cited. Per Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources, "facts cannot be copyright." It would be appreciated if you could restore the content you removed and hid. Thanks. Ocscok 19:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I can't restore it, because it was copied from a copyright web page. Hosting such content is a violation of our copyright policy.

Favian Loyola moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Favian Loyola, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It should have at least 3 of those. Please remember that routine sports coverage does not satisfy GNG, and that interviews, being primary sources, do not go to notability either. 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.

Season summaries

Please keep WP:NEWSSTYLE in mind. Season summaries should not be written in the same way as recaps from the league website or newspapers; as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, we use more formal language and cut down on excess details. SounderBruce 06:18, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Footy Templates

Hi there. You've reverted the edit to the standard WP:Footy squad list a couple of times. Is there a reason or discussion that justifies keeping this in place? Thanks. UncleTupelo1 (talk) 18:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
