Talk:Mansfield Town F.C.

A note on British English
British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --  S iva1979 Talk to me  15:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to know when the word "team" became a plural noun. Example: "The team is doing well this season.", not "The team are doing well this season." --24.144.177.92 22:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Generally speaking, in British English, when talking about a team, a collective unit, a group (of individuals), you can use the plural, even though it may not be gramatically correct. So, "Mansfield are buying a new player this season" is very common common and perfectly legitimate.77.125.90.248 (talk) 13:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:MansfieldTFC Badge.gif
Image:MansfieldTFC Badge.gif is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

History
The club's history for the first 70 years is encapsulated in 5 lines. Did nothing happen worthy of mention? --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Mansfield away strip Nov 63
Can anyone confirm the Mansfield away strip Nov 63 vs Watford? I seem to remember pale blue shirts and white shorts The current away strip is all pale blue, so my memory may be ok. This is to confirm the opponents of my first Wfc game .. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.135.2.186 (talk) 12:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring over sponser name
Conflict of interest user:Matthewjoule is persistently edit warring to include "Field Mill (Now known as One Call Stadium)"  the info box states "No sponsor name"  anyone care to comment? Theroadislong (talk) 20:10, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Despite being advised at an early stage that paid COI-editing is unacceptable, and the self-identification as an employee of the Football Club - hence by extension, also associated with owner John Radford - has made it clear that he is under instruction to change Wikipedia content to the requirements of those over-ranking him and would continue. Further evidence is the spa (single purpose account). Firstly, I deleted two instances (one from Matthewjoule) of "One Call Insurance" (multi-millionaire Radford's main source of income, as I understand it) from Radford's page (per WP:PROMOTION). The recent 3RR was closed as "good faith", partly due to "no talk page discussion" (at this article) - 'good faith' could not be applied again considering the lengthy advice and significant warnings at his talk page. Needs to go further for exposure/advice and sanction - I am unsure if already this is beyond COIN.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 18:08, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it says "Field Mill" and Field Mill says "also known as One Call Stadium". So I don't think there is an error &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:23, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Image of Radford added to article
I recently returned to Wikipedia after an absence of a few months to find an image of Radford had been deleted from John Radford (businessman) article's infobox, replaced by one from a copyvio (webpublished) source uploaded by a new editor with only one edit. This copyvio image was then deleted, together with the original, nominated for deletion as not being used in an article. I requested this image in 2016 through Wikipedia from one of Radford's paid staff. I have now had the image restored and it's back up at his bio article. If any regular editor objects to it being here I have no objection to removal.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 12:47, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
