Col U fans section

 * My comment was not intended to say that Col U's history only extended to 40 years: the way the fans section was written, each of the two bands mentioned had more lines of text than a 40 year period of the club's history. I would contend that the bands are not meaningfully famous: what proportion of the population, even of Colchester, would recognise them in a photo?  By what definition would you describe them as famous?  If there are fans who happen to be musicians, and have made a noteworthy application of their profession to their interest, that might be worth mentioning in a section of fans' activities, but I don't think you will find a precedent for that, or a lengthy "Famous fans" section, in any Good Article or Featured Article.  But a fuller history section would certainly be worthwhile. Kevin McE (talk) 21:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Up the U's
Hi, sorry it does seem to be notable. Perhaps the lead should be extended to include that the song has been released twice. Cheers, --Jimbo[online] 10:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work. I've made a couple of minor adjustments and removed the PROD tag. --Jimbo[online] 11:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Amateur League 09-10
Thanks for updating the membership of divisions for this season. I've amended the Ards Rangers F.C. page to show that they are in the Premier Division, but I don't have time to do the rest just now. If you have time, would you mind continuing? Mooretwin (talk) 14:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll work on it when I get the time. DarthJoeyJoJo (talk) 14:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You may wish to be aware that an Irish-nationalist editor is targeting Amateur League club pages in order to remove Northern Ireland flag icons on various grounds (players uncapped or that he claims they are eligible for ROI).Mooretwin (talk) 09:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You may wish to be aware that a second such editor is also on board this campaign. Mooretwin (talk) 12:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This editor is now targeting pages to remove reference to "Northern Irish". Perhaps you could deal with this as I am voluntarily restricted to 1RR. Mooretwin (talk) 12:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm leaving this issue alone because 1) The Northern Ireland flag isn't official. It just seems to be used in an unofficial basis, including on the UEFA page. Clearly there is an issue here and needs to be a debate. 2) I'm not the best person to address this issue. I claim my own nationality as /  Irish and 3) Im trying to avoid all these tit-for-tat disagreements because they are ruining Wiki and putting me off contributing.
 * Fair enough, but the NI flag is "official" in football terms, and it doesn't seem right to allow politically-motivated editors to impose their will on NI football pages. Seems to have calmed down now, though. Mooretwin (talk) 13:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Redirects
Hi there. What is the issue with having redirects? Mooretwin (talk) 12:42, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I just thought it was good etiquette not to have redirects. It doesnt affect the article so I dont see why there is an issue. DarthJoeyJoJo (talk) 13:15, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought the redirects make life easier for the writer. Much easier just to type in the link than have to pipe it. Wasn't aware of any etiquette. I don't see why there is an issue with the redirects! (Makes no odds either way as far as I can see). Was just wondering! Mooretwin (talk) 13:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

NK Maribor (WikiProject on Football)
Hello. A while back you rated the NK Maribor article within the scope of WikiProject on Football and said you will look into the article in the future. The article was rated as C-Class. Since then a lot of things has changed and the article itself was improved a lot. Could you look into it (when you find the time) and rate it with the class it deserves in its present form (Btw: I have no idea who rates articles on Wiki:)? Thank you.Ratipok (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind:). I have found out where to put a request for article assesment.Ratipok (talk) 00:55, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
