[edit] ImagesHi there, seeing that you're an administrator and Arsenal fan, I have a question for you. What happens when someone uploads an image to commons, but it is not used for a Wikipedia article? Does the image warrant deletion? I ask because all the "extra" Gilberto images uploaded by GilbertoSilvaFan are being tagged for deletion. Thanks. Chensiyuan 06:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC) As far as I can tell, there is no reason for the Gilberto images to be speedily deleted. They are free to use, which means they don't need to be deleted. Most of them are actually in use. The reason given for speedy deletion is This is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. which is not accurate. I see no valid reason for speedy deletion. Sʟυмgυм • т • c 09:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Derry City F.C.Hey there. Would you have any interest in contributing a suggestion or adding your support to the nomination of Derry City F.C. for featured article status? Cheers. Danny InvincibleTalk|Edits 03:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC) [edit] Featured topic?Given that the Arsenal and Gilberto Silva articles are FAs, and the Thierry Henry and Fabregas ones GAs, do you think there's a legitimate claim for featured topic? Chensiyuan 21:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC) It had never occurred to me before, but it sounds like possibility. Looking at Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria, it seems that there are a couple of big obstacles:
..means that all the players need good articles. Furthermore, one of the 'Recommendations' is that: The topic is not overly large. There are currently 30 players listed in the squad, but I don't see why that is really a problem. It depends on the scope of the topic - do we want to include the articles listed on {{Arsenal F.C.}}? Finding enough information to make a good article for each of the younger players however, is going to very difficult - many are currently stub class. Perhaps we should bring it up at the Arsenal F.C. article. I think User:Qwghlm could be a good ally if we want to go for this, as he contributed much to Arsenal's FA status. I've never really tried to create an FA, except to help out GilbertoSilvaFan with a few questions, so I may not be the most useful editor for such a challenge, but I'll help.

Football club names has been selected as the new collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it. [edit] Grays Athletic Players
I have been updating and adding such relevant players. All the new articles I created are deemed as relevant to Grays Athletic, as I would not have added them. Hence why I have not created articles for Moses Fakolade, Freddy Tandon, Luke Woodward, Danny Baigent or Ashley Barnes. Thank you for your concern. Jimbo_online 00:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC) [edit] Tagging of Template:Infobox Football All-Ireland 2I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Template:Infobox Football All-Ireland 2. I do not think that Template:Infobox Football All-Ireland 2 fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because redundancy is not a reason to speedy delete a template. It can be a reson to nominate at WP:TfD, but soemtimes the discussion there will decide on a redirect or other non-deletion solution. Sometimes there ar reasons for keeping two diffretn tempaltes that at first seem redundant. so i suggest raising the matter there.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Template:Infobox Football All-Ireland 2 for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 20:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC) Much the same reasoning applies to Template:Infobox Hurling All-Ireland 2. DES (talk) 20:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC) I did not place the tag on either template. Please look again carefully. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 20:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bravo ZuluI have just restored this page which was incorrectly deleted. The alleged copyvio is a public domain U.S. government website (and one which unusually is actually explicit about the public domain nature of its material - see its Privacy Policy, point 2.) I would like to note, as an aside, that, although listed first, I was not the original author of that page - the early history has been lost during software upgrages. Rmhermen 18:26, 22 June 2007 (UTC) Okay, thanks for bringing this to my attention. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 18:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC) [edit] Flag of the Soviet UnionPlease, read the article Flag of the Soviet Union before you revert my changes next time. 1923 version of the flag was used only until 1955 or was replaced even earlier. Cmapm 23:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC) I did read it. The flag did not change in 1955, but in 1980. The info you added does not mention a change of flag at all, rather a ruling to ensure the correct manufacture of the flag, the general design of which was implemented from 1923 - 1980. The 1980 flag is a brighter red, and should not be added to articles concerning events before then. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 23:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shrewsbury Town - removal of referenceJust wanted to check on your reason for removing the reference from Shrewsbury Town F.C.. Was it because football squads aren't normally referenced due to them changing frequently, or because the referenced page became out of date and wasn't updated quickly enough? Just curious... cheers. --Jameboy 16:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC) It was simply because the page was long out of date and inaccurate...for example, two players at #6, one called Lee Canoville, another called Lee Tanobille. Lee Canoville left in May. I think wikipedia could the only place where the squad list is remotely up to date or accurate! slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 16:30, 27 June 2007 (UTC) [edit] TransfersI noticed you edited many French football squad templates today. However, using this edit as an example, you removed Guillaume Moullec yet left the {{FC Lorient squad}} on his page. Similar occured for many players over several templates. :( I appreciate your efforts, but I thought I should mention this. Most French transfers do not create news in the English-language world, so any help from France is useful. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 19:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC) Yes, I've updated the templates, but not the player's page (I've forgotten, sorry...), but don't worry, the templates are correct, and I'm gonna update the player's articles as soon as I can (i.e. tonight or tomorrow).Thanks for your remark.--Latouffedisco 20:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC) [edit] Template:FA Cup FinalsYour edit to {{FA Cup Finals}} did work, but it requires all the articles to call the template between {{fb start}} and {{fb end}}. At the moment, none of the articles do that. You can either go back to your edit and convert all 126 articles or leave it as it is. I would favour the first option but it's more work. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 12:20, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Apologies for messing up the format like that, I'm a little peeved that I didn't realise that I'd made that mistake. I may be a 4th rate code monkey, but I should've worked that out, given my experience. And since I make edits in my copious free time, I'm up for editting all 126 articles, though it might not happen all in one sitting. Thanks for pointing that out, by the way. I was utterly at a loss as to why it had failed. By the way, I first had the idea to edit that template when I was working on a different prototype. It looks a little odd to my mind, so I figured I'd ask someone such as yourself, with more practise in templates and what works on Wiki. I'm half-way through making another template for the FA Cup seasons, as opposed to just the Finals which are on the template you assisted me with. I don't intend to make the existing Cup Finals template superfluous, though if it reaches acceptance over time, that might happen (though I tend to have humble aspirations for my own creations, so I'm not even giving it thought). My template is more along the lines of the template for Premier League seasons, only with an added part in small text, a la Template:2006-07 in European Football (UEFA) for the finals (see the bottom line, "EUFA Competitions"). The problem is that we already have this template for the FA Cup Finals, and quite frankly 50% of the articles I would add to the template haven't been written - being every FA Cup season article before 2003. This might well make the template look stupid, it would certainly be covered in red links, and for such a lengthy template, that might be inexcusable. On the other hand, I tend to think "if this template continues to be used, will it be useful 10 years into the future?" and in my opinion, as more and more FA Cup season articles are written, it will be useful. Especially if we cut off all of the dead links, or go with my fall-back option, which is to just replace the red links with the Cup Final article for that year. But as I said before, I bow to your much more impressive experience. What would you do in this circumstance? While I wait for your reply, I'll get on with adding {{fb start}}s and {{fb end}}s to stuff. Thanks for your time and help. Falastur2 12:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stuart DrummondNoticed you moved the page from Stewart Drummond to Stuart Drummond (footballer) in April 2006. Do you have any definitive source for Drummond's first name?

[edit] List of English Football managersHi, you put a suggestion on Talk:List of English Football League managers by date of appointment regarding date math. I've added to the talk page a different date math that I think would work well with that table - however, I'm rubbish at tables and would take me ages to get it completed and formatted well. Keep an eye on that page in case anyone else thinks its worth doing. Seedybob2 23:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC) [edit] Jeff WinterHi. As you are a previous contributor to the above, could I ask for your input one way or the other, regarding a difference as to whether the subject is a freemason or not (as stated by the prime declared source MQ Magazine)? The editor claims to be the webmaster for Mr Winter's personal website, and claims also to have authorisation from him to remove the statement from the above article. The conversation regarding this subject has been carried out on my own talk page, but primarily on User talk:ComeOnBoro. I have also received private email from the user. I have urged the editor to take this to the article talk page, but there seems to be some reluctance. Meanwhile, I have been reverting his edits until such time as this can be resolved. I don't mind which way this goes, but I will not see sourced content removed on an apparent whim. If you do not have time for this, I will understand. Thanks.

I am thinking of including a few match articles regarding Stirling Albion F.C. the reason I would like to include these as they are notable in the clubs history and scottish football history.

If it is a template that is in use is it easy to use?
