Kit colours[edit]

the kit colours for Milton Keynes irish are out of date, the kit is currently made by Joma, and home scheme is green and white striped shirts, white shorts and socks.

The away colours are all yellow.

How would i be able to change this on the mk irish page please? TheDon79 (talk) 14:04, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@REDMAN 2019: might be able to help. Cheers, Number 5 7 18:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the home kit but can’t find any information or images of their current away kit. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 11:52, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thank you very much for doing that update. TheDon79 (talk) 14:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive removal of edits on mk irish page[edit]

I have attempted to make a few edits on this page including adding a players section which has been taken down. I have been wrongly advised by an admin tthat they have no playing squad. Which is incorrect, as someone who regular watches this club play i can confirm it has a senior squad, and various other squads including youth teams, reserves, and veterans squads.

Every attempt I'm trying to perform is being taken down.

This page was a stub until I decided to look at updating it. Feel that any edits now will be removed and I'm literally wasting my time with this mk irish page now. [[User:IrishRover2020 |IrishRover2020]] (talk) 20:44, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have not been "wrongly advised by an admin tthat they have no playing squad". What I actually said was that this was an inappropriate way to add a squadlist. I will also point out now that it is a very bad idea to add squadlists for clubs at this level as (a) few if any players are notable and (b) the articles rarely get updated (despite promises always made by editors to do so) and get left out of date (I have found squadlists not updated for six years). If you want to collaborate with other editors, you need to be honest about situations. Cheers, Number 5 7 21:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you have dismissed my contributions, even when I've added a link to the page to prove this fact regarding players.

This page has been left untouched as a stub, for some considerable time before I took an interest in making sure it was given some relevant updates.

The ground itself if you check the local information websites for Milton Keynes, gives the capacity of it at 1,000. Deleted. I accept that the honours probably didn't belong up on the page. But it wouldn't hurt to acknowledge Buckingham/MK Robins, and Unite MK as they essentially are the club, They count as honours surely?

I've seen this done on other football club pages here. [[User:IrishRover2020 |IrishRover2020]] (talk) 22:38, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What "fact" are you proving? No-one has said the club does not have a squad of players (it would be a bizarre claim given they compete in a league). What has been pointed out is that the edit you made was not appropriate.

Regarding the capacity, you need to provide a source for it before it can be readded (the onus is on you to ensure information added is WP:Verifiable to sources). And regarding the honours for the previous clubs, they are/should be on the pages of those clubs. Number 5 7 23:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
