[edit] 1934 FIFA World Cup squads

Sorry, what's the source for this edit? I can't find any reference...plus Luis Marin Sabater was playing for a Segunda Division team... it's quite unlikely his call up... --necronudist (talk) 22:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Allow me to chime in. Here's a source I found: [1]. Whether it's credible or not, I don't know. Chanheigeorge (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

As you said, it's strange that a player without La Liga experience is called up for a World Cup, even if it's 1934, but we can't add suppositions. Hope someone will help: I'll revert your edit and post on the talk page 'cause indeed you can be right. --necronudist (talk) 09:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks for your kindness! --necronudist (talk) 09:46, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S.: If you're a es.wikipedia user, please post something there! --necronudist (talk) 09:52, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I mean...post to some user, or in some talk pages (but I think there isn't a 1934 WC squads article), maybe someone knows something more. --necronudist (talk) 09:59, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Roberto Rojas (Chilean footballer)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Roberto Rojas (Chilean footballer), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Roberto Rojas. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tennis Match Results Search Links

Hi Xavier, I noticed you had added links for Pablo Andujar, so I looked for other links and came across Danie Gimeno Traver, but the Match Results links was not working, so I fixed it.

The Ranking History search only does one player at a time (for now), so it looks to find each name piece entered somewhere in Steve G's ranking file. So "Pablo Andujar" works, "Pablo And" works, "Pab Andu", etc. Even "P And" would find something (the first match with a "P" and an "And" in the name). And "Dani Gim" works, too.

But the Match Results search can find multiple players (separate names by commas), or match scores, or (LL) lucky losers, etc. So it does a straight text search of Steve G's raw data (you could even search on "d. (1)Roger Federer" and find matches where Fed lost as the #1 seed).

So "Pablo And" again works fine. But "Dani Gime" does not work, because that is not the consecutive wording that appears in the raw results files being searched.

"iel Gime" would work, "Gimeno" works, "niel Gim", etc. Anything consecutive works.

I hope this enables you to add these kind of links more effectively, and I'm glad to see you found them valuable enough to include on player bio pages.

I know it would seem that the Ranking and Match Results should work the same way, but since Match Results allows multiple player searches (for instance, if you were writing about Wimbledon, and wanted to say that Federer had an easier path to the final than Nadal, you could search on "Federer,Nadal" for the week of Wimbledon and use that link as the reference source), the two searches do have to work slightly differently, albeit confusingly at first.
