Peter Osgood
Hi Daemonic.

I have noticed that the dates of Peter Osgoods time spent at Southampton are different when you click on his name and go to his page. On your page it states 1973 - 1978, but on the other it's 1974–1977. Just thought you'd be interested in knowing this. Butdavid (talk) 00:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

re: Jack Angus
Hey DK. Thanks for the question. My source is [mcfcstats.co.uk this very good stats site]. If you enter the site (unfortunately it's all flash so linking the page url is impossible) and select "matches", then "seasons" then navigate to the 1891-92 season, click "next" and click "line-ups" (sounds complicated but it's all straight forward when you get to the website) you can see Jack Angus being given his debut in the last match of the season - his name is highlighted blue for a debut. Of course, there may be extenuating circumstances. For instance, he may have played as an amateur on an invitation for that one match, then signed for the new season, but he definitely played that match. Just in case you go snooping around the 1892-93 season, be aware that there was a Harry Angus who joined in 1892 too, so watch out for the forename letters on the line-ups. Unfortunately I can't give more detail than that. You might like to give Oldelpaso a shout - he has a wealth of resources to consult and knows a lot more about this stuff than I do. Unfortunately I can only dish out third-hand information, but that is my source and I'm 99% sure it's accurate. Falastur2 Talk 17:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Saw your message on Falastur's talk page. Details are often sketchy for the club's pre-league days, with sources disagreeing on team lineups at times, but the information in Paul Toovey's Manchester City – the Birth of the Blues makes it clear when Angus joined. His first appearance was a friendly against his old club Third Lanark on 16 March 1892. The August date probably comes from his (and Ardwick's!) first appearance in the Football League.

Ivan Golac
Hi DK, I was wondering if you may have time to add some in-line citations to this article from the Jeremy Wilson book that is referenced. It would then be possible to review remaining unsourced information and try and source/remove as appropriate. I have added a couple of other refs to start. Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 19:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits, you can see I've added a few more refs now and there's not much left unreferenced now. Cheers. Eldumpo (talk) 09:29, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Other accounts
helpme When I first came across Wikipedia in March 2006, I registered under my proper name as user:David Earley before registering under my present name. In August 2007, I registered the name User:Bikeroo to edit cycling-related articles. I now realise that having multiple accounts is not allowed. Is it possible to merge the contribution history of the three accounts and delete the two old accounts? I can no longer access the old accounts as I can't remember their password(s). Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:10, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not prohibited to have other accounts, there are legitimate uses, and as long as you haven't used them for deception there is no issue (see WP:SOCK). At present, there is no technical way to merge two users. – xeno talk 18:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, i see you removed the content i added to maiks wiki page as vandalism. I do not believe it was as it was sourced well from a well known and reliable forum poster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seasider91 (talk • contribs) 17:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Jimmy Kirkpatrick
Hello, and thanks for taking an interest. Couple of things: I don't think the Dumfries FC that Kirkpatrick played for is related to the one our article's about, which is this one. Pre-First World War, it's going to be the one that according to Historical Kits, the Scottish Football Historical Archive, the club historian (search the page for Dumfries FC), in fact everybody but Wikipedia, was one of the direct ancestors of Queen of the South. I'd left it unlinked because I hadn't had time to check, and then promptly forgot to do so, so I'm glad you changed it. The other thing is the playing years: my personal preference would be to leave them blank if we don't know, but when the infobox was being redesigned we were told not to, so I've always gone by that and included a dash. Don't know if it's still true that we shouldn't leave that field blank... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:49, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

George Richards (English footballer)
Thanks for your additions to the article, although the Betts death year (1959) is at odds with the Joyce death year (1950). Is there more than one reference to 1959 in Betts? Also, does Betts have anything listed for birthplace - as the 2 other sources on the article have different locations (Joyce has Bulwell). Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 07:31, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for response, I've added extra refs for birthplace/death date. BTW, am still trying to get the player's national team listings sorted - see . Also, the Ivan Golac article is now looking solid - the quotes are good. Cheers. Eldumpo (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Mid Rhondda F.C.
Thanks for your help on the above article. Association football is not really my bag, but it has just fallen into my sight as it kept appearing in books I am interested in. It's just good to get rid of those red links to a very intersting minor club. FruitMonkey (talk) 21:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The book, The Mid and the Mush, did not have an ISBN number, and when I checked the British Library there was no return. It isn't a big publication, only about 20 pages, and must have been a private publication. FruitMonkey (talk) 20:34, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

File:Rickie-Lambert.jpg
I am pretty certain that this image is copyright, although I can't find the original on the web. The source stated is simply "The web" and there is no proper licencing information. Can someone look and delete it, if they think I'm right. Thanks. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The original source was here.  Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, see tineye, which is a handy way to find them.


 * I've tagged it as lacking source/permission, see File:Rickie-Lambert.jpg, and it will be deleted in a few days if no evidence is forthcoming.


 * I note it was also listed in articles for deletion, which is not the correct place - I will therefore also tag Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/File:Rickie-Lambert.jpg for deletion.


 * For future reference, the easiest way to mark up images for deletion is to enable the twinkle gadget in my preferences - but using a is just fine, too. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  12:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello. What you can do if it's a blatant copyvio and you do know the original commercial source, which in this case appears to be here, is put a speedy deletion tag on the image description page. Which I've done, and hopefully should get it deleted quicker than having to wait for the few days in the lacking source/permission case. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:41, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Dave Beasant
Hi,

Regarding this: I wanted to make sure that I got the timing for this one right, and the first reference specifically says that it was during his time at Southampton. Admittedly the two Beeb links are rather contradictory. Mind adding a better reference (or two) to fix this properly?

Southampton FC
Hello Wiki User

Why do you keep reverting my valid Southampton FC wiki updates and flagging them as vandalism? The nickname "South Coast Club" for Southampton FC is nationally recognized and totally valid so i would appreciate you stop vandalizing this wikipedia page. If you keep vandalizing this page by deleting my update i will report you too one of the mods and you will be banned from posting!

Hi DK, thanks for moving the talk page from the above article to the 'alphabetical' page. I thought this was only something an admin to do, hence my post to Chris the Dude. Is it easy to do, and is it possible for you to also move the page revision history? Were you surprised by Pardew's sacking - do you think Adkins will join?

Removed speedy deletion tag: EVEREST SCHOOL SYSTEM
Hi Daemonic Kangaroo! Firstly, thanks for helping out in CSD areas. I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on EVEREST SCHOOL SYSTEM- because: A7 does not apply to schools. If you have any questions or other message, please contact me. Thanks Kingpin13 (talk) 07:26, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy tag for Stark Weather
Hi DK,

I see you've removed the speedy tag from the article, as you have every right to do. It would appear to me to fail the general notability guidelines or in the alternative WP:NALBUMS, tho. Your thoughts about this? --Shirt58 (talk) 11:29, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Heya DK, This admin has A7'd them both. As we had discussed, both articles should have been sent to AfD. I'm so not buying a super-hero outfit and a return ticket to Berlin about it, tho. --Shirt58 (talk) 13:46, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

William Egan (footballer)
Hi DK, have you got any references relating to the years he was playing for his early clubs, and indeed confirmation of actual years he was playing in his FL days, as with the Joyce source only there would have to be question marks regarding the actual years.
