George Kay
Thanks for the message. Yes, certainly, I'll have a look at the George Kay article. He seems to have played for West Ham between 1919 and 1925! I'll dig out some info over the weekend. Regards, --Malcolmxl5 18:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, DK. Thanks for the message, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. The article looks pretty good to me. It's missing a picture but that's not surprising given that Kay died over half a century ago. I think a peer review would be a good idea, it will (hopefully) garner some constructive comments on the article, but I'm not sure how to go about one. --Malcolmxl5 19:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Henry Horton (sportsman) and Phil(ip) Mead
Why the change from Phil to Philip Mead? The three main cricketing sources I checked (Cricinfo, CricketArchive and his Wisden obituary) all call him Phil, and that's where our own article is too. I did find a John Arlott piece calling him Philip, but I don't see why that alone justifies a change from a link that is working and supported by major sources. If it's a cricket/football thing, then his "cricketing name" should be used, as Mead is being discussed in a cricketing context in that line, and in any case was a much more significant cricketer than footballer. My immediate inclination was to revert, but I thought I'd ask here first in case I've missed something obvious. Loganberry (Talk) 20:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Apologies to you: I misread the previous version of the article; actually it might have been best to change the link to plain Phil Mead, which I'll now go and do. Sorry again! Loganberry (Talk) 20:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

RE:Links to dates
Hello! I hope you are feeling great! With regards to your concerns, can you please give me a good example into which why my edits messes up the way the dates display for certain Date & time preferences? In my personal experience, the layout of these dates look fine to me. I am using the 16:12, 15 January 2001 format. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 05:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * So, I hope that you would find this reference soon. In the meantime, I will stop making those edits as well. -- S iva1979 Talk to me 05:49, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Dick Neal
Just created article for the Dick Neal who played for Lincoln and Birmingham, checking links and found his dad in the List of Southampton F.C. players, now linked to "my" Dick Neal article. I've changed the one in the Soton list to link to Dick Neal Sr., to avoid confusion and put it back to redlink. Perhaps if/when you do an article for Mr Neal sr, you may want to change mine to Dick Neal Jr. (or whatever) to disambiguate. hope this is OK, Struway2 | Talk 12:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Manager templates
I need to create the template for the manager list, ie the actual people. An example of what i am thinking can be found in the squad list templates. Adding the managers in as a list creates wrapping problems in new versions of firefox. It is fine in IE7 however. I am hoping that the template will fix that problem. It should be done tommorrow. There are some classic examples of why this needs to be done, i agree. I will let you know tommorrow when i have finished setting it up. Woodym555 19:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, i have added an update on the progress to the WT:WPF page. Thanks. Woodym555 15:33, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: George Lawrence (footballer)
A hello to you; the article was not deleted because of a copyvio-problem, but because the article did not establish the notability of the subject. I've moved it to User:Daemonic Kangaroo:George Lawrence (footballer) (you can move it back when you're done) for you to work upon. Feel free to contact me again if you encounter any problems. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar 15:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Liverpool Assessments
Hi, Thanks for helping me revert the missing assessments - I was in a rush to start it before i went for my tea, and forgot some may be already assessed... Ooops

Will make sure i revert/fix as many as possible

Reedy Boy 18:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * All fixed. Cheers for the help! Reedy Boy 18:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I have replied there... The england one is just being added as a matter of course with it... I suppose it is going to cause some problems. I was just going by the request for it to include england=yes on the Liverpool F.C. and subcats.. Hmmm Reedy Boy 19:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Sergei Gotsmanov
Ooops you're right! (for the future:) Here you can find the guidelines for the romanization of Russian, and as you can see E (е) is transliterated ye when it comes after a ь (a soft sign usually omitted in the romanization). So Анатольевич must be romanized as Anatolyevich. The й of Сергей is a pure y, so it must be romanized as Sergey. However, Wikipedia is full of inconsistencies with article titles and correct romanization...So if you wanna move you're right. But nobody will realize :-) Keep with your good works! --necronudist 10:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:Aston Villa F.C. captains
It is on my list of stuff to do. I was thinking about using the manager template, but that adds "manager" by default. I am going to fiddle around with it in my sandbox to add a "role=" parameter wherby it turns the managers into captains or anything else for that matter. Woodym555 16:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hagiology Publishing
Need your help bringing this up to scratch, as I'm having trouble providing enough references to convince that HP is notable enough to warrant inclusion on Wiki, and it is tagged for deletion (managed to wriggle out of Speedy Deletion, thankfully). Any help would be appreciated! Dan K 22:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Sheffield Wednesday F.C. managers template rollout
Thanks for picking up the baton, you've saved me some work. The templates seem to be working well, and the article footers are looking a lot better now compared to the random mess that was there before. Cheers. --Jameboy 12:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Template work
Hey, noticed you've been following behind my template creation explosion and redirecting plenty of my duff links. Thanks! The Rambling Man 19:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Tom Grosvenor
Hi, thanks for fixing all my mistakes. I wrote this one a few days ago and posted it today thinking I'd already checked for typos/omissions. sorry for causing you extra work, cheers, Struway2 16:38, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Date style
Hi - I note that you have been editing several articles to change the date style. It seems to me that you are putting in a lot of work for no benefit, either to yourself or the WP generally. To get dates to show correctly in your preferred format, you should click on the "my preferences" tab at the top of the page, and then the "Date and time" tab and choose how you want dates to show. Providing the dates are properly linked in future all dates should show as you want. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo 12:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That is entirely wrong. I am assisting the fundamental policy that British English has equality in Wikipedia. This is to help the tens of millions of British users who are not registered to see Wikipedia in their own language. Wikipedia is not a private little club for the tiny number of users who are both registered and aware of that option, it is for everybody. Please think more carefully in future before you demean another user's efforts to improve Wikipedia for the benefit of all. I will be doing hundreds more later.

Ralph Burkinshaw
Hiya, I noticed you tagged Ralph Burkinshaw with a Yorkshire cricketers. The reference I have is that he only played in the county's league cricket rather than Yorkshire CCC itself. I don't know if you know any more or if that would even change the category anyway. Peanut4 10:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. I probably just didn't make it all that clear. And it's now an improvement. Thx. Plus a big thx for all the updates with lots of little stats and other details to my other recent entries. It hasn't gone unnoticed. Peanut4 14:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Arthur Holt (cricketer)
Hello there. That looks like a very nice article, actually, and I don't think the cricket section is going to need more than a bit of tidying. I'll try to have a look at that when I can get enough time to do so. As to the article title - what do you think of Arthur Holt (sportsman)? We've used that format before for cricketer/footballers, and as there don't seem to be any other sporting Arthur Holts it should be okay. Loganberry (Talk) 15:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Template:Football manager last
Umm, ohh, Whoops!! No I meant to delete the user subpage that I used to develop it. Instead I forgot that redirects are created when you move and I deleted that page. And now I am sitting here with egg all over my face! Thanks for pointing it out to me!!! :) Woodym555 19:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have been on a WP:CSD binge as a statement of regret to the Wiki!!! Thanks again. Woodym555 20:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

UK disambiguation
Hello, thank you for renaming a number of settlements in the Southampton area (as shown here). However, and I'm sure you were not aware of this, but your changes are in breach of the Naming conventions (settlements). It is normal practice for English places to disambiguate settlements according to ceremonial county, not post town or local authority area.

In this capacity, you may need to seek to rename these district's titles. Hope that helps, -- Jza84 · (talk) 14:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I've reversed the deletion and added mention in one phrase that he made its first appearance Friday with Crewe Alexandra F.C.. -- JForget 14:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

1907 FA Cup Final
Given your advice, I took a look at the official |FA cup results site. You are quite correct, it appears the referenced site is inaccurate, as you suggested. Looks like that was actually the second time it happened! I'll correct the article within the hour, thanks for pointing out the rubbish! :D 88.212.174.4 (talk) 18:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've spotted your issues with 1897 FA Cup Final, too. I've left the results of my googling on the talk page for you to consider at your leisure. Thanks! --Nanobot recurve (talk) 17:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: William Rawson
Hi. Thanks for the encouragement towards the above article. Obviously feel free to make the edit(s), as this is Wikipedia after all. Otherwise, I fully intended to return at a later date to expand it where possible (very little to go on apart from the two main sources in there already). Herbert may not warrant an article of his own, although he did win one England cap and, as you say, appear in an FA Cup Final as a player. Thanks once again.

1950 World Cup
These are the four players who played for both Ireland teams during the 1950 World Cup qualifiers - Tom Aherne, Reg Ryan, Davy Walsh and Con Martin. The articles on both teams explain how this happened in further detail further down the articles. This bizarre episode is documented by Sean Ryan which is in turn referenced in both articles. The articles on the individual players also contain links which list their appearances for both teams and which will prove they played for both teams in the same competition. This definitely happened. Djln --Djln (talk) 01:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Jim McAlpine
I'll see if I can dredge anything up, although my books on the Gills' history don't delve into too much detail on players from that era. If I find anything, though, I'll add it in..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Welbeck
Hi ! I don't agree Daniel Welbeck isn't notable player. Maybe he isn't on professional contract in MU, but he PLAYED for England national football team U-17 in FIFA World Cup. I think it's enough to have a note in wikipedia. Have a nice day ! Bartekos (talk) 10:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Briggses
Hi, one of my books says that George Briggs' brother-in-law was Fred Tunstall, but neither mention him having a footballing brother. His biographical details are quite brief, so there's probably no implication that he didn't have one, it may just be that they mention Tunstall because he was an England player where the less illustrious Fred Briggs is left out. On the other hand, I'd have thought your books might mention Fred being the younger brother of George Briggs, if he was, on the basis George was fairly well-known (nearly 300 apps/100 goals in the First Division). Not sure this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Dickie Dale
Hi, thanks for adding more apps/goals to the infobox, perhaps you may want to add your source as well. As to the year ranges, the separators already were endashes, I tend to use the endash character "–" rather than spelling it out. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Redlinks
Hello. One of the action items of the WikiProject Anthroponymy is working on redlinked names. Those redlinked names are important and no intention to delete or hide them. On other disambiguation pages with redlinked names, they are moved into a redlinked section, so I followed suit. No objection if you wish to return some/all of them within the disambig page, or to create articles from the redlinks. If you'd like me to assist, just let me know. Cheers.

List of FA Cup giant-killings
Hello again, as you commented on this during the deletion discussion, I wonder if you could comment on my proposed criteria on the talk page? We now have the ridiculous spectacle of Port Vale and Notts County being described as giants when, no disrespect to their fans, they clearly aren't. As I've already removed the Havant result twice I think it would be breaking the spirit of 3RR to remove again. However, I firmly believe we need tight criteria on such a list to stop it growing exponentially. I strongly believe that a good league one side beating a weak/soon to be relegated side from the premier really can't be described as giant killing. Valenciano (talk) 18:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Mulgrew
Hi. I noticed that you contributed a lot to the article for Thomas Mulgrew. Since the article is entirely unsourced, I did a quick Google search to see if I could find any information on the individual and could not find a source to even verify his existence. Could you perhaps provide one for me? Cheers, CP 05:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * No, that's perfect! I've been (slowly) going through the "Possibly living people" category, as it's a hotbed for hoaxes, and I was a bit suspicious, but I figured a long-standing contributor wouldn't be party to a hoax. Thanks for the clarification! Cheers, CP 06:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Robert Buchanan (footballer)
Added a bit - there wasn't much in my Arsenal Who's Who to be honest. One thing - that book said he died in 1907, not 1909, as does my copy of Arsenal - The Football Facts. Not sure whether it or the date from your source is the correct one... Qwghlm (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

George Handley
I've not looked at the article yet but I'll definitely be add a couple of lines. And he has a bio in one of my books so might be add a decent amount. Regards to yourself too. Peanut4 (talk) 19:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've added some Bradford City info from my book. One question though. It says he went on to manage Bruhl FC, St Gallen, which I read as one club because of the date it gives. Your version had two clubs. I've amended it to two but if your book suggests two add it back to two different clubs. Peanut4 (talk) 18:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Wing Forward
Do you think that this should be put up for deletion as it seems to be the same as inside forward.  Sunder  land  06   14:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Jimmy Yates
So he is the same player as the Jimmy Yates who played for Southampton after all. I'll look through my books when I get the opportunity, though I have a feeling I won't have anything beyond statistical data. Oldelpaso (talk) 09:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Fred Harrison
Hi, you've done a nice job on the Fred Harrison article. I've added just a little text to his West ham career to help fill it out a bit. Hope it's OK. Happy Christmas! --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Jack Elkes
Hi, I've added a bit to Jack Elkes, will have a look at the others later. My books have Elkes' height as 6ft 2in rather than 6ft, don't know which is correct, though I wonder would both our sources remark on him being a tall man were he "only" 6ft? Could do with another source as a tiebreaker. Happy new year, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
