Sir Bobby

Hey, I noticed you're doing a lot of really good work on Sir Bobby's article. That's cool because before I went on holiday for a couple of weeks I was pushing it (or trying to..!) to FA status. I'm trying to source a decent free image from someone close to ITFC, so that should be a good start. I'm working with User:Dweller on this (well, I was before my hols) and we're keen to get the article to a state where we can peer review it and then go for FAC. So, keep up the great editing and let me know if I can help with anything. I'll be back into it full swing in a day or two when I'll probably kick off the PR.

Excellent. So why the interest? You a tractor boy/toon army/eindhovian/barca boy or what?! The Rambling Man 21:15, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Stanstatue.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stanstatue.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 10:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Dubious claim

If you need to check your claim. There was only 3 reverts. Kingjeff 20:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Your dubious claim seems to be a personal attack since the other editor was not warned after his 3 revert. Kingjeff 20:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Your claim of Revert #1 is completely dubious. I simply made an edit by taking it out. Kingjeff 20:37, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

There were 7 consecutive reverts. 3 by me and 3 by User:Dudesleeper and 1 by you. Kingjeff 20:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Does you being quite now mean we are in agreement with my previous comment? Kingjeff 21:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

What you claim as Revert #1 was not a revert at all. Kingjeff 21:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't go back to an older version. Except for the 3 reverts I did. Kingjeff 12:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Bayern Munich task force

Would you like to join the task force? Kingjeff 19:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, right now a lot of the current players seem to be stub and star-class articles. I've also nominated FC Bayern Munich for Good article status. So, we'll see what comes out of that. Kingjeff 18:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-commercial images

Just want to let you know that non-commercial images (such as Image:Ashleycole england.jpg) aren't allowed on Wikipedia. Make sure that when taking images from Flickr, that the license doesn't specify non-commercial use. Thanks. tiZom_(2¢) 20:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Michaelowen england.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Michaelowen england.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Michaelowen england.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Michaelowen england.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 20:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Stokecity1972leaguecup.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Stokecity1972leaguecup.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

History of Stoke City F.C.

Hi Dave101. You are off to such a great start on the article History of Stoke City F.C. that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 18:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there Dave101

Dave, thanks for your understanding in this matter. I seem to be getting nowhere with this pompous, power-hungry, micro-dick lump of turd shite. Any chance you could have a quiet word? It really gets frustrating when we're cleary trying to help and these guys just piss all over our hard-worked efforts. Thanks. No need to agree with the insults! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treadstone7 (talk • contribs)

History of Stoke City F.C.

On 6 July, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of Stoke City F.C., which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

GAC for SCFC History

Hey, I'm going to review your article for GAC. I may be over harsh (I'm used to FAC reviews) but I promise I'll do my best. I'll let you know how it goes, a cursory glance looks to me like it'll be no big deal to pass it! Let me know if want to discuss anything about the article. Best wishes... The Rambling Man 16:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

No worries, it's an impressive GA, with a bit of nudging could easily make FA... Good news on Bobby, I'm still waiting on the image...!! The Rambling Man 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Joey Barton article

I've been doing a lot of work on this article for about 2 weeks now and I think it must be getting close to featured article candidacy. I was hoping that when you get a spare moment you would be able to peer review the article or even improve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sir-Nobby 19:56, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
