Awards
hello,

please have a look at santana's awards. I found a few grammar mistakes (thank you online spellchecker :)). Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 15:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will try to find another source, which must be reliable, though I think I will never find such source. If not, I will just delete the awards or nomination with this reference. Thank you.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 16:16, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Greetings & request
Greetings ChrisTheDude - I'm following up a long shot and need confirmation on the edition to Dean McDonald as of 12:46, 4 December 2010. I know nothing about the subject and how to go about checking it, but the two checks of two I've been able to carry out so far have been positives. Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 13:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Source of an image
Do you happen to know where/if File:AshingtonAFC1898.jpg was published? During a peer review of Ashington A.F.C., Jappalang pointed out that unless it was published somewhere before 1923, it would not be eligible under public domain until 2019. - Wmcduff (talk) 15:09, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know, sorry. I found it on some website and at the time was under the impression that merely being that old was sufficient for it to be in the PD. I still don't fully understand image policy even now....... :-S -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:27, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

No worries. I know you probably pulled the photo from ashingtonafc.com, so I can ask them if it was published, and if not, I'll pull it down. - Wmcduff (talk) 15:32, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Alas, not 130 years old, and no other information available. :/ Therefore... - Wmcduff (talk) 13:27, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Duncan Edwards
I see you have reverted my additions to the article. I am in the process of creating an articlon on Francis Skeat who designed stained glass windows for about 400 churches in England, so there will be no problem with notability. Likeqwise, what is wrong with a link to an actual photograph of the window - how is that unreliable? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:48, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * In the order of service for the dedication of the window (see ), Skeat is listed as the artist.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:59, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Seeking advice
After hearing of his plight, and the planned scarf tribute to him, I decided to do my bit by expanding Neil Young (footballer born 1944). I've been pondering whether or not to add the material in the second paragraph of the Personal life section (particularly the suicide attempt), what with it being a BLP of someone currently going though difficult times. I deliberately waited until after it had been on the Main Page for DYK for this reason, but ultimately included it on the grounds that Young himself put it in his autobiography. So basically I'm looking for some feedback from a couple of editors whose opinions I hold in particularly high esteem. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:01, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Reference
The link to the UK Rock Chart was fixed on Nightwish discography; i didn't know about that. Any other mistake? Rodrigo15 (talk) 16:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe there's another way easier, i'm gonna make some edits and ask your opinion later. Rodrigo15 (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Done, UK links to BPI, and i added a note below the list explaining about the different charts. Is it good enough?Rodrigo15 (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors
Hi! Since you've been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:55, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

List of FA Cup winners
Hi Chris - I know this was some time ago now, but can you recall why you removed the names of the goalscorers from the List of FA Cup winners with this edit? This seems to me to be useful information which is not recorded elsewhere. Cheers. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:08, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Europeada deletion nomination
Hi, your nomination isn't appearing in the log here Articles_for_deletion/Log/2011_February_18. Dunno why. Would add it myself but don't want to do it wrong! Stu.W UK (talk) 21:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Vicki Leekx
Hi I added some review scores from Rolling Stone and Popmatters for Vicki Leekx which I saw you've nominated for GA - you might want to take a look at those reviews and see if they have anything for the "Release and reception" part in the article :) --Regards, Mottenen (talk) 19:50, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Stephen O'Brien (footballer)
Hi there. I've just prodded the article, as I believe he never played for Gillingham. Just wanted to double-check that with you to ensure that the PROD is uncontroversial. Regards, —WFC— 06:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Paul Antony Smith
Hi, the above page should be known as Paul Smith (footballer born 1976) in line with naming conventions. Unfortunately it was moved from that title with this edit from someone who should have known better. Can you move it back? Thanks. — Half  Price  14:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year
Hi Chris. I think that your concerns on the nomination for Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year had been answered. Would you be kind enough to review it again? Thank you. Jaespinoza (talk) 01:13, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Chris, I hate to be a bother, but can you revisit the above FLC when you get the chance? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:51, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Vicki Leekx
The article Vicki Leekx you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Vicki Leekx for things which need to be addressed. Adabow (talk · contribs) 01:33, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Passed. Lemme know if you want a sample. Adabow (talk · contribs) 03:37, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

1878 FA Cup Final
I see that you have removed the details of the scorer of one of the Wanderers' goals as well as that for the Royal Engineers. I have four books all of which credit the Wanderers' goals to Kenrick, Kinnaird and Kenrick, so I'm not sure why Warsop begs to differ. I note that the article at credits the goals the same way in the header, but in the narrative seems to imply that the second goal was an own goal ("one of the Engineers put through his own goal") whilst the newspaper clipping doesn't mention the scorer ("the excellent play of the Wanderers resulted in a second goal for them").

As for the Engineers' goal, most sources give this as a result of a "scrimmage" or "rush". Gibbons ("Association Football in Victorian England – A History of the Game from 1863 to 1900") unequivocally credits the goal to W. Morris ("the Engineers levelled the scores through inside forward Morris"). The Cavallini history of the Wanderers merely says "the Engineers did equalise before Kinnaird restored the lead". If you want, I can write this up in full and add it to the article's talk page. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 20:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The truth is that we will never know for certain. Match reports from that era were often contradictory. I'll put a note on the talk page with full citations. Cheers.  --  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 22:32, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

1873 FA Cup Final
Hi Chris - I hope you've recovered from the Real Bigone insults thrown at you.

Well done for the work on the 1878 FA Cup Final article. Could you possibly re-visit the article on the 1873 FA Cup Final - the layout of the match details is different to that on the 1878 article and causes strange gaps in the lists of players.

Keep up the good work and don't let the buggers get you down. Best wishes. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 17:23, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the 1876 FA Cup Final featured three sets of brothers: Francis and Hubert Heron, Edward and Alfred Lyttelton and Albert and Charles Thompson. I'm sure that this has never happened again, but I can find no reference to this anywhere. Also Francis Birley and Jarvis Kenrick were brothers-in-law. Definitely a fraternal final!. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 19:56, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

José Belman
Hi there CHRIS, VASCO from Portugal here,

regarding this chap, i wish i had interesting news for you, but i have not. By all means man, i 100% believe you when you say the guy never played for Gillingham, so i browsed the web in search of some reliable data, found nothing (most probably, all the sites that contain that info - the info being he DID play for the Gills - must have relied on WP, so we are at a dead end on that shootout).

I also asked User:Mega60, who has an "abnormally" large database on Spanish footballers (he hails from that nation), and he told me the same, no primary sources found :( Thirdly, i started a WP:FOOTY discussion to see if any "magicians" would volunteer but, like 90% of the stuff i bring up there, received zero feedback (don't ask me why, dunno the answer).

Maybe Belman was just up for a trial with Gillingham, nothing else. If you decide on removing that stuff from his box and story, i am 100% cool with that, even though the box could look somewhat odd (one season out of football, hey happens to the best!). Attentively, happy weekend - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 02:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * That name did ring a strange bell wit me from some unspecified "way back": whether it was a trialist, a "linked name" or what I can't remember, but I'm sure his appearance in the main team would have impacted on me more. Kevin McE (talk) 07:21, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Wanderers F.C.
Hi Chris - well done getting all the FA Cup Final articles up to GA. I have started the book at Book:Wanderers F.C. honours. Cheers. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:25, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi again. Is there any reason why the match details for the 1873 and 1877 FA Cup Finals are formatted differently (i.e. with the strips and match rules central between the player lists) to the other three (which have the strips above and the match rules below the player lists)? --  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:35, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Jivesh Here
Hi Chris. We have never talked before. I was having a look at M.I.A articles and then i saw that her albums have been nominated for Good Topic. That's also where i saw a link to your user page. I was amazed by seeing the number GA And FA you have accomplished. There is no suitable word or group of words to praise what you do. I was wondering if you like R&B Hip Hop music and if you join WikiProject Beyoncé Knowles? It will be an immense pleasure as well as an honor to count someone like you among us.

Joe Dorsett
I'm trying to work out if Joe Dorsett had one or two spells with Manchester City, and saw that you created his article. According to the article he played for Colne in 1919–20. Given that his only post-WWI appearances for City occurred between January and April 1920, playing for Colne before this would make sense. He appears to have been elsewhere in wartime (though that could have been the Front). He made sporadic City appearances in the first season of wartime football, then nothing other than a single app in Jan 1919. Does Joyce shed any light? Oldelpaso (talk) 20:54, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will go with one spell. Who would have thought cross-checking the stats on List of Manchester City F.C. players would be so awkward? Oldelpaso (talk) 21:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: my so called vandalism - how about you stop using material stolen from the Margate FC History site ? Everything I've edited was stuff taken directly from the site - things like managers records, season by season records, photos etc. The vandalism is you taking it upon yourself to steal other peoples hard work.Voiceofnoreason (talk) 12:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
