Template:Infobox football biography says the default is empty and if the values are unknown, don't add anything rather than question marks. Also, don't update the time stamps if you're not actually changing statistics. It has the potential to confuse editors who are actually updating the values.

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Michael Boxall does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

The next warning I place will be the removal of content from articles and the final one is for performing edit tests. Time to stop. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:41, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Michael Boxall, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:14, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Michael Boxall, you may be blocked from editing. All matches count Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Abel Mabaso. Jim1138 (talk) 09:40, 31 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
