Hello,

I am actually involved with Floreat Athena FC.

Please leave the page as is presented. Floreat Athena FC have gathered the information from its very own website and the members. This is the way they would like the page to read.

We appreciate the images you have added though.

 * I glad you appreciate the photographs, it kind of the person who showed me arround the club so I could take them, but please read Ownership of articles and conflict of interest. Also note that information in articles must be supported by reliable sources independent of the subject. Gnangarra 06:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Floreat Athena
Hi FAFC, I saw your efforts in expanding the article on Floreat Athena, please can you provide some sources for the information, preferably from third party references. If you use the format or that will be sufficient and I clean them up to meet you WP:MOS formatting. I've done some copy editing to the article to remove what we call peacock and weasel styles of wording. If you need any help just ask by leaving a message on my talk page or alternatively at Western Australia project or Australian editors talk page and someone will answer your questions. If you need more immediate help you can add help me to your talk page followed by your question and an experence editor will respond.

Also please feel free to expand your editing horizons from just the football club into other areas theres always room for one more editor, enjoy Gnangarra 14:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Your revserion of my edits
I have edited the article as I explained on its talk page to bring it in line with Wikipedia policies and style. User:Gnangarra expalined it well above:
 * "... please read Ownership of articles and conflict of interest. Also note that information in articles must be supported by reliable sources independent of the subject."

How the club wants to see information about it presented is not relevant to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an on-line encyclopaedia that has its own policies and style (please see Wikipedia policies/guides on Verifiability, Neutral Point of View, Reliable Sources, Manual of Style). A football club can present information about itself however it wants on its own wesbite. There are many free website hosts including MySpace and Facebook.

When the information is presented in Wikipedia, it is up to the Wikipedia community to decide how to present the information. If the article cannot be brought up to Wikipedia standards, then it is at risk of being deleted. Please do not revert my edits again, and instead please try to improve the article in accord with Wikipedia policies and style. Reverting valid edits like mine to assert "ownership" of the article can lead to you being blocked from editing. Ground Zero | t 23:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I must ask you again to make constructive contributions by following Wikipedia policies and style. The latest addition was in the same style as your previous work, which is not acceptable for Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but you must learn how to write according to Wikipedia policies and style. If you continue to ignore these, your contributions will be deleted instead of being edited. Ground Zero | t 11:25, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
