New player articles
G'day Mr Con211, just wanted to say well done on the two new articles you wrote today. I've added some templates and categories and will clean up some of the refs. However, please note that some people take the WP:NSPORTS notability guidelines as meaning that players who have not yet played at AFL level aren't notable enough to have articles about them. I generally believe that if there is some significant coverage (ie not just a brief mention) in independent (ie not the club website) reliable sources (not a forum etc) then it meets the WP:GNG and can remain. In general I avoid writing articles on new recruits until they are named to play a premiership season game. If you want to help out, then there are plenty of older players that are redlinks on List of Carlton Football Club players that you could create. References like AFL tables and Trove for pre-1955 newspaper articles or google news archives for some scanned version of The Age in the 1970s/80s can be useful to learn more about players from previous eras. The-Pope (talk) 14:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

- OK thanks for the advice, I might check out some older players from the 70s or 60s and just give some of them who played a decent amount of games a bio. Sorry I didnt know that I should wait until they've been named in a game. Sam Rowe is likely to play a fair bit and I guess I'm just excited about Bootsma, I make sure I only give guys who have started playing articles from now on. E Con


 * FYI, I've encountered the same problem in the past - and although I don't particularly agree with the notability guidelines that The-Pope alluded to, I put up with them. But, as a result, I have pre-written articles ready to be copied-and-pasted for all of the Carlton players who are currently on the list but haven't played a game.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Luke Mitchell (footballer) with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luke_Mitchell_(footballer)&action=history page history]. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Yeah sorry I was fiddling around and I clicked save instead of preview. Sorry about that. I might just practice some more stuff in the sandbox from now on. E_Con211

Proposed deletion of Mark Amos


The article Mark Amos has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. B music  ian  01:58, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I just inserted some reliable refernces, please don't delete it! User:E_Con211

Nomination of Mark Amos for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mark Amos is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Mark Amos until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ProfPolySci45 (talk) 02:11, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't understand why it might be deleted, I immediately added refernces to the page immediately after I first created it. User:E_Con211

Don't worry about it
Hey. Just dropping by to say don't worry about your article being nominated for deletion – it's the other editors who are in the wrong, not you. You're free to take part in the deletion discussion if you want (it's at Articles for deletion/Mark Amos). These sort of discussions normally last seven days, but because this is such an open-and-shut case (played in the VFL/AFL = notable) it might be closed earlier. I hope this doesn't discourage you from creating new articles, but to avoid this happening in future, it's always best to have a few references in the article when you create it because there are some editors who will jump all over an unreferenced article even if it's only a few minutes old (though why it was again nominated for deletion after you added references I'll never know). Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 03:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You definitely did nothing wrong, but there are somethings you could do better. try to avoid publishing partially complete articles - use the preview button or save it to your sandbox and then move it when the article has sufficient context and refs. Have a look at the categories and reference formating that Jenks24 and I have added to your articles and try to copy it. We were all new here once and I look back at some of my first edits with some embarrassment! Keep it up -think of this as the NAB cup period! The-Pope (talk) 05:08, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

OK thanks for the encouragement guys, i've only made 5 articles but its my goal for every Carlton player in history to have an article on him, hopefully some more wikipedians will help me out with this rather huge task. User:E_Con211
 * Good luck with that... a quick redlink count using WP:AWB comes up with 529 more to go! Now I'm not going to touch Daryl Gutterson, so please add the categories, talk page WikiProject templates and format the refs better (to avoid duplication of refs, use the named refs function). Try to avoid only using blueseum as a ref - as it is contribution based, ie like a wiki, some people may not consider it a reliable source, even though we know that they are very diligent about getting it right.  Don't forget to add the stats link.  This is an open book exam, you are ENCOURAGED to copy other people's work (it's the easiest way to learn how things work) and there is no deadline (but as you've seen today, other editors might not be as generous!) For your 2nd task, work out how you get yourself into Category:Wikipedian Carlton Blues fans.  Have fun! The-Pope (talk) 13:11, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it might be difficult for me to not use Blueseum because for many players it is literally the only place where there is any background info on them. Oh and User:The-Pope would you mind just showing me on this chat page how to correctly format references so they don't duplicate and displayed correctly. Cheers. User:E_Con211
 * It is OK to use, but try to find another source as well. Searching the archives of google news finds quite a few scanned copies of The Age from the 1970s and 80s and for pre-1955 stuff, the trove service at www.nla.gov.au (ie http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?q=carlton+football) is virtually complete in it's coverage. Otherwise books or even the Carlton website or modern newspapers might have some mentions of older players. Use dates and info from Blueseum to narrow down your search for when the automatic text recognition isn't that good.  For the refs, read Inline_citation, or like I suggested, copy what I did at Graham Gilchrist. The-Pope (talk) 10:26, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited List of Carlton Football Club players, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Andrew Collins and Matthew Watson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
