January 2008
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. This is what we call a "cut and paste move," and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. – PeeJay 11:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Lee Martin
No, I think it would be best to use Lee Martin (footballer born 1987), Lee Martin (footballer born February 1968) and Lee Martin (footballer born September 1968), since those players aren't commonly known by their full names. – PeeJay 20:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Using "defender" and "goalkeeper" are no good as those positions are not specific to football. Other sports have positions called "defender" and "goalkeeper" too. – PeeJay 22:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Mendieta
i have change Mendieta as he is still on the Book of Middlesbrough and is still a PREMIER LEAGUE Player. he might play and he might not..

FIFA World Cup
Sorry about that, I thought I had left those in. I didn't intend to remove all of your edits. I removed the federations as they are all found in the wikilink, and is not really relevant to the article on the World Cup. I removed the stuff about Pele because I felt it was glorifying him aboive other people who have played in 4 world Cups. Whether he should be glorified or not is another question, just not in a neutral encyclopedia article. I hope that clarifies it, and sorry for any offense caused.

Kanchelskis and Yuran
Hey, I'm impressed by your interest in soccer, but trust me there is a reason why I did not include those two of them in the list. Beside them there some few others who prefered to play for Russia over Ukraine. On the international arena the only contribution they've made for their country of origin was the challenge by playing elsewhere and continuing to refuse on contributing now out of the principle. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the thing is that those ones actually participated in at least a single official game for Ukraine, unlike Kanchelskis, Yuran, and Dobrovolskiy (who was born in Odessa oblast). Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Walter Kollmann
A tag has been placed on Walter Kollmann requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Portugal at the 1984 EC
There's much confusion about who was the second goalkeeper for Portugal at the 1984 EC. Many sources say Francisco Silva, many others Jorge Martins. Have you got an "ultimate" source? --necronudist (talk) 09:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


 * AFAIK UEFA listed only lineups, and Francisco Silva/Jorge Martins didn't play (you can retrieve them playing with the Wayback Machine and Google cache, I checked today morning). My sources are a pair of Portuguese friends and many websites provided by them:
 * Vedeta ou Marreta, a complete Benfica blog. In the tag you can find França 84, plus is written Foi um dos escolhidos por Fernando Cabrita, António Morais, Toni e José Augusto para representar Portugal no Europeu de Futebol realizado em França em 1984. (was selected with [...] to represent Portugal in the 1984 European Championship), plus a comment say Ainda foi o terceiro guarda-redes do Euro-84 (he was the third goalkeeper at Euro-84). I've asked the author of the blog and he kindly answered that: "'I believe some sources mistake him for a certain 'Francisco Silva' because of an article in wikipedia, but the truth is that there wasn't even then any Francisco Silva playing goalie in the portuguese top league! Incidentally, Jorge Martins, even though he was called for Euro '84 and later Mexico '86, never got a full cap (!).'"
 * In fact, the only Francisco Silva reference my Portuguese friends' found is this: but he retired after 1955-56 season.
 * ZeroZero.pt, main Portuguese football website, where you can notice in the right part of the page, at the end of his career, the indication that he took part at 1986 WC and Euro-84.

I'm waiting for a book source from one of my friends, but I think you can easily guess Jorge Martins took part and not "Francisco Silva". :-) --necronudist (talk) 21:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

No :-) his fullname is Jorge Manuel Martins da Silva. I've reverted your reversion citing the ZeroZero.pt source. --necronudist (talk) 09:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you moved Ján Kozák to Ján Kozák (footballer born 1980). Please could you tell me where you found out about the footballer born in 1954? Thanks! --Jameboy (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Bob Glendenning
Hi, I have been working on an article on the 1912 FA Cup Final and I have been creating articles for the players who took part. I have been using a number of contemporary sources who rever to the one of the Barnsley Half Backs as Bob Glendinning, however it is clear that from the reference in your article that he and his descendants spell his name Glendenning. I propose to add the content and info box from my article (with the spelling corrected) to your article and create a redirect. Any comments? --Gmac101 (talk) 22:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Cardiff City F.C.
It plays in the English football system, so for me it's English also if it is based in Wales. However, this should be discussed in the WP:FOOTBALL. --necronudist (talk) 12:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * It's yet another matter of criteria. For me, the criterium should be where the club plays. In this case, England. Let's discuss it :-) --necronudist (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

David Burrows (footballer) etc
Regarding the hatnotes you added to David Burrows (footballer) etc, according to WP:NAMB, these article names are not ambiguous. If someone was interested in David Burrows (filmmaker) (for example), they would not have ended up at David Burrows (footballer) by mistake. Therefore, would you have a problem with me reverting these changes? --Jameboy (talk) 11:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Help appreciated
Hello. Thank you very much for categorisation of the Olympic sportspeople. Much appreciated. Can you please help me with categorisation of beach volleyball players? See and. New country-specific categories like e.g. should be created as well as similar cats for olympic beach volleyball players. Many such players use just e.g. "American volleyball players" or "Olympic volleyball players of the United States", these cats need to be replaced with proper beach volleyball players categories. Thank you, much appreciated. - Darwinek (talk) 14:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Do British Virgin Islands compete at the Olympics? Btw. IOC uses Chinese Taipei name but we have category. - Darwinek (talk) 09:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Right, but using only "Virgin Islands" will spread confusion among editors. I can really imagine people wrongly categorized cause of this. Should we bring it to WPP:Olympics or resolve between the two of us? I think there is no controversy, just a technical issue. - Darwinek (talk) 11:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the medal infobox to the article I started.

How many articles will be listed in Category:Olympic sailors of Lithuania?

--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Depends on whether there are more pages of Olympic sailors of Lithuania created. Chanheigeorge (talk) 09:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I assumed you created the category because you knew of some, or planned to create them.  If that is not the case, I think we should merge the category with its parents.  It can always be created again once its parent categories become too full. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * If you notice, the category is under both Category:Olympic competitors for Lithuania and Category:Olympic sailors by country. So this way we have a category structure that categorize all the Olympians under both country and sport. So we create a new category even when there is only one page. Chanheigeorge (talk) 09:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

To me, this seems to be a case of over-categorization, appropriate for large Olympic teams, but not for small ones. Gintarė Volungevičiūtė can simply be in Sailors of Lithuania, Olympic sailors and Olympic athletes of Lithuania. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

The downside, as you said, is that some of these "Olympic (sport competitors) of (country)" is going to be huge while some will only have one page. The upside is that it's structurally consistent this way, so it helps editors correctly categorize the page instantly. Say we do not create "Olympic sailors of Lithuania" and put the page in both "Olympic competitors for Lithuania" and "Olympic sailors". However, over time, two problems will emerge:
 * 1) Say 4 years later I create another page of a Lithuanian Olympic sailor. Then I have to check whether "Olympic sailors of Lithuania" has been created yet to determine what categories I have to add to the page. This does not help me editing.
 * 2) Say we decide that we create "Olympic sailors of Lithuania" once there are 10 pages. How can I determine that? If I go to "Olympic competitors for Lithuania", I have no idea who is a sailor or not, so I have to click on every single page. If I go to "Olympic sailors", I have no idea who is Lithuanian or not, so I have to click on every single page. So recategorizing the pages are going to waste you a lot of time later.

Believe me, at the beginning of the year the whole categorization situation is quite messy. Even if there are categories such as "Olympic swimmers of the United States", a lot of eligible pages are still in "Olympic competitors for the United States". That's because when people create pages they tend to copy and paste what they see in other pages, so if one page is in the "incorrect" category, soon you will have 10 pages in the "incorrect" category. So we make the effort to put every Olympian under "Olympic (sport competitors) of (country)". Consider the large amount of athlete pages created in the last week, and almost all of them are categorized correctly, I think this scheme has been very successful. Chanheigeorge (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All makes sense. Thanks for the clear explanation: and for your thorough contributions. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Haiti at the 1924 Summer Olympics
Hey, maybe you can help me shed some light on something. I noticed that you created articles for seven shooting medalists for Haiti at the 1924 Summer Olympics. Both Sports Reference and databaseOlympics, however, list only five medalists in that event, the extra two being L. H. Clermont and C. Dupre. My guess is that the latter two were listed as participants, but were either reserves or did not compete for some reason. Do you know/have a source for why this discrepancy exists?

Hello. You created this page as disambiguation, but when I went through it, one of the 2 needed to be deleted as it was a red link with nothing else linked to it (see WP:MOSDAB red links sections if you're interested in the details). With one entry, I changed it to a redirect, but I can see its potentially useful, so thought I'd let you know. That way, if you start a stub on the other footballer, then this could be changed back to a dab. Boleyn (talk) 11:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
