Talk:Jamie Vardy

Spelling
The name is Vardy, not Varney. As far as I can tell, the only source using the Varney spelling is this FA article which would appear to be a typo. Every source used in the article, Fleetwood Town's website, and the Football Association's registrations list, spell it, correctly, Vardy. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 22:29, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

In the "career statistics" section, the number of Premier League appearances for Jamie Vardy is 16 until now, not 17. Anyone can go to Premier League official website to check this. Thankyou:)

A Rebecca by any other name...
It's clear that Vardy is engaged to a woman whose name would be pronounced "Ruh-beh-kuh Wilson" but her given name is spelt differently in different sources, many of which are red-top trash and name her in stories which I would never link to because of their outrageous claims and lack of credibility.

Does anyone have a reliable source on how the soon-to-be Mrs Vardy spells her name? &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

This is wrong. James Vardy started training professional at 15, he came to Leicester at the age of 16 and is now play football in Chelsea

WP:DISINFOBOX
User:Part has been reverted for changing the template of the infobox to include the names of Vardy's parents and his date of marriage. I feel this fails WP:DISINFOBOX as this is trivial detail for Vardy who is most known for being a footballer rather than who his family members are.

There are people for whom their family members are an important part of understanding the person, like Elizabeth II, but even there the family details are put after the person's work in the infobox.

I would like for Part to explain their reasons for changing the format, and for other users to comment on whether such a change was appropriate. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 20:59, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Your comment on Beckham, see Other stuff exists. There is no requirement to copy the layout of any other page. In addition, Beckham has for 20+ years been a person of consistent celebrity in the world, and his spouse was notable before the two met. In any case, I would still remove that from Beckham's box; the parents have no independent notability and can be mentioned in "Early life", and the spouse and children summed up in a line in the lead. Infoboxes are for summing up information that can't be summed up in the lead, like a complete career record. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I think another footballer is a better comparison, please see David Beckham - details such as the number of children he has, and his parents names for instance are all ahead of his football stats. This is not only about his spouse. How do you determine what is trivial? Are you implying Mr Vardy is not notable enough? Consistency across articles rather than copying is how I see it. Part (talk) 21:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I did mention Beckham and my opinion on that inclusion. There is no rule that one page should follow another, see Other stuff exists. His family is trivial because his job is to play football. Everything else can be mentioned in early or personal life sections. Please bare in mind you have also broken the three revert rule. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I think one of the rules is "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignoring_all_rules_%E2%80%93_a_beginner%27s_guide Part (talk) 21:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

What is your take Administrator? My referenced edits have been reverted unfairly I think Part (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This is not a question for an administrator.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:04, 2 June 2016 (UTC)


 * His family is mentioned in the personal life section, where it should be. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:26, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Please apply your logic to the David Beckham article as you said you would. Otherwise you have double standards and there is no clear rule you are following. Part (talk) 21:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * That would be a WP:POINTY edit, I have never edited his page and never plan to. Also, I have said there is more sense in having that information on Beckham, as he has been internationally famous for over 20 years and has done a vast portfolio of non-footballing work. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:34, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * u|The Almightey Drill you were attempting to mislead me that you would remove that info? Smoke and mirrors! I could argue that Vardy achieved something thought impossible odds 5000/1 http://uk.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-youd-win-betting-on-leicester-fc-to-win-the-premier-league Although a 'recent arrival', I technically do not see how the edits I made are 'wrong' since there is a precedent.

F.C. Halifax Town or Halifax Town
Someone has been using an IP address to pipe in the team name which has been resulting in an edit war with a registered user. In my view, the preview should still be read as F.C. Halifax Town to avoid any possible confusion between both clubs from the town. Compare these six revisions (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) compared with the following reverts (7, 8, 9 and 10). In the reverted differences, there have been good reasons as to why it should be left as the original F.C. Halifax Town preview rather than just Halifax Town. Iggy (Swan) 15:56, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware, it's standard practice for teams with similar or identical names to maintain the F.C. or A.F.C. to avoid any confusion (A.F.C. Bournemouth being another example that comes to mind). The IP user has offered nothing other than "leave it alone" or along the same lines in their revert summaries.

Sorry, it appears that my recent edit failed to create a new sub-heading. The 2019-20 Season section appears at 1.3.7.1, when it should be 1.3.8.

Stocksbridge Park steels goals.
The goals he scored for Stocksbridge are available and have been up there before so why don't they stay up? IsaacTW3001 (talk) 00:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Leicester City 2015-16 season
Regarding his consecutive scoring matches, the sentence - Had he done so, he would have equalled the English top flight record of 12 consecutive scoring matches set by Jimmy Dunne for Sheffield United in 1931/32 – is incorrect. That record was broken in 1950-51 by Stan Mortensen, who scored in 15 consecutive matches and is still the top flight record today. http://www.enfa.co.uk/stats-gruns.htm Spare Koppers (talk) 08:58, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Stocksbridge Park Steels potential missing data
Over the last few years I've been accumulating Stocksbridge programmes from this era in the hope of being able to add the stats. Is it possible/allowed to add photos of the programmes to this talk page so that others can see the relevant pages? In the mean time, there are only 2 possible gaps in the data, and they bookend his time at SPS: I only have data for the 2005/06 season up to 6 April 2006. Vardy had only played 1 game all season up to this point (in a minor cup competition) so I can't imagine him featuring much in the run-in, but this is a gap in the data and as such as I have included a footnote to that effect. The remaining fixtures were: 08/04/2006 Rossendale United 10/04/2006 Spalding United 12/04/2006 Parkgate (SHSC) CONFIRMED NO APPEARANCE 14/04/2006 Brigg Town 17/04/2006 Gresley Rovers CONFIRMED NO APPEARANCE 20/04/2006 Kidsgrove Athletic 22/04/2006 Bridlington Town 23/04/2006 Fleetwood Town 25/04/2006 Kendal Town 27/04/2006 Clitheroe CONFIRMED NO APPEARANCE 29/04/2006 Colwyn Bay 01/05/2006 Kendal Town (playoffs) The only other potential discrepancy is the last game of his final season with the club: 24/4/2010 v Whitby Town. Vardy is listed as an unused sub in the season summary provided in the 28/07/10 programme, but no substitutes are listed as coming on in that game – in fact no substitutes are listed as coming on at all in April 2010! I'm very suspicious that no subs were made. I haven't added a footnote for this one though because at the end of the day Wikipedia is there to reflect the sources, and the source says he was unused.

I haven't been able to spend too long researching these gaps, so if you can find line-ups for any of the 2006 matches, or something to prove whether Vardy was used as a sub on 24/04/2010, please let me know! Nonleagueapps (talk) 00:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
