good evening, first of all thank you all for the work done. I may not be doing it the right way but I would like to point out 1 transfer to France:  Damien Le Tallec (without a club) to Sochaux (since 03.02.23)

Due to the earthquake in turkey, can the database be edited after Hatayspor and gaziantep fk in the 1st league, adanaspor and new malatyaspor in the 2nd league, Adıyaman fk and Diyarbekirspor in the 2nd league withdraw from the league?

Due to the earthquake in turkey, can the database be edited after Hatayspor and gaziantep fk in the 1st league, adanaspor and new malatyaspor in the 2nd league, Adıyaman fk and Diyarbekirspor in the 2nd league withdraw from the league?

question regarding incorrect club names:

 

german bundesliga club eintracht frankfurt – or eintracht for short – (id: 912) is listed as »frankfurt« in the database, which is wrong.

the club’s name is EINTRACHT frankfurt – see the official website: https://www.eintracht.de

 

frankfurt (id: 930) is a different club that plays in fourth-tier league regionalliga südwest: https://www.fsv-frankfurt.de/

 

how can this be rectified? eintracht is the only bundesliga club whose name is incorrect, all the others are listed correctly, e.g. WERDER bremen, BAYER leverkusen, UNION berlin etc.

What can be done when too much time has passed since the last update and it does not let you update the db
Example:

Mariano Gorosito is the actual Manager (Reserve Team) of Villa Dalmine

@Footygamer how do you set someone to be a free agent? https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/37007850 this manager has been sacked so he doesn't have a club right now (same with https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/3700294) 

Hello can you put munir on UD LAS PALMAS PLEASE..!!!!!!1

First read the opening post it explains how to update players who are in the DB

 

secondly why are you quoting a deleted user account

Hi, I'm new and I don't know how to create an account to comment. Second, could you explain how I can put it? I'm a fan of UD Las Palmas and he's the only player I'm missing.

Hmm you're right i'll look into why that is.

So what do I do if the player moved to a club, but that club is not in the game? Just make him a free agent?

I'm waiting since 26th of August on an actual answer on this same question.. 

This guide will walk you through how to make changes to the sortitoutsi data update.

 

Incase you didn't know the update is entirely collaborative. Hundreds of people contribute changes every year using our online editor. When you submit a change a moderator has to come and approve your change, once it's approved it will then automatically be included in the next version of our update.

 

I'll now show you how to contribute a change by transferring Steven Gerrard from Rangers Manager to Aston Villa Manager. Obviously that's out of date now, but it's just an example! Alternatively if you prefer watching videos to reading, you might want to check out this Youtube Video instead.

 

When you visit the Data Update Page on the right hand side you'll see options to "Search" or "Browse".

If you know what you're looking for you can easily search, e.g. here i'm searching for "Steven Gerrard". Simply click the result you want to be taken to the person's profile:

 

Alternative you can browse via nation, league and team. This way you can start at any nation and navigate down to Steven Gerrard by going to Europe > Scotland > Premiership > Rangers > Steven Gerrard.

This is useful if you can't remember the exact spelling for a player. You could also have searched “Scotland” in the search bar to jump straight to Scotland and clicked through to Rangers that way as well.

Once on Steven Gerrard's profile you're going to want to find the “Edit Data” button

 

 

Click this and you'll be greeted with a form with lots of fields which you can edit.

In our case we're looking to change 3 fields:

• Team Contracted To = Aston Villa
• Date Contract Expires = 30/06/2025
• Data Contract Signed = 11/11/2022

 

Simply use the search box like normal and you should see the form change from this:

To this:

Now we don't want to edit any of the fields (reserved for future transfers and loans and such) so just scroll past those until you find the “description” and “proof” fields.

These are very important fields. You're going to want to briefly describe the change you've made in English, in our case this is easy we can just say something like “Transferred Steven Gerrard from being manager of Rangers to being manager of Aston Villa”.

 

The next field is the “proof”. Here you need to provide a URL that proves that the change you've made reflects real life. Please use an official such as the official news article from Aston Villa. Alternatively places like transfermarkt.com are great because it's really to see the players basic details without having to read a wordy article.

 

In our case it seems obvious to link to the official Aston Villa website since it gives proof that it happened. However alternatively we might want to link to a news article that has more info, such as this one which has details about the length of his contract.

In our case I think the best thing to do would be link to the official announcement and then add a comment with the extra details.

So now this is what our form looks like:

 

 

Now what you're going to want to do is hit the big blue “SUBMIT” button, to submit your change.

 

Now you should see something like this:

 

A description of your change has been automatically generated based on what you entered. Anyone can also click the “proof” link on the right hand side to check the link to proof you submitted.

 

The “pending” icon indicates that a moderator must come and approve your change before it's added, don't worry this usually happens within a few hours 🙂

Now I mentioned earlier it would be worth adding an extra comment. You can comment on any person within the DB just look for the “Add Comment” button:

Now let's leave a helpful comment:

And now its been added to the feed alongisde our change:

 

You can join in the discussion about any person or any change anywhere in the DB this way.

 

Alternatively you could help out as a moderator yourself. It's even easier than submitting your own changes! Whenever a moderator sees a change labelled as pending they can quickly accept or reject it using a dropdown, it only takes a few seconds to read the proof and verify the change is correct. If you'd like to join our mod team send us an application although it's best if you have a history of submissions first so it's clear you know what you're doing.

 

 

And that's it. When the data update is next built (once a day in the early hours of the morning UK time) your changes will be included and you can download them from the main data update page. 

 

If you have any questions or need any help feel free to reach out by replying to this post 🙂
