Welcome!

Hello, FAadmin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Andrew Harvey., may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Andrew Harvey (footballer)


The article Andrew Harvey (footballer) 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. red dog six (talk) 03:00, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (FAadmin) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it uses "admin", which can imply a position of greater authority and trust at Wikipedia and mislead other users. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 03:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Maintenance templates, verifiability and notability
I have replaced the "maintenance templates" you removed from the article. Please do not remove them again without addressing the issues they raise. In particular, the BLPprod notice must not be removed unless a reference to a reliable source is added to verify what the article says.

I draw your attention to the policy Verifiablity which includes: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". Statements of opinion like "a well versed central midfielder with superb energy and a good use of both right and left foot" do not belong in an encyclopedia unless you can quote a reliable source that says so - if it's just your opinion, that is original research and not allowable.

The notability standard for footballers is explained at WP:NFOOTY, and there is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 18:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Your edits to Wycombe Wanderers F.C.
After you make an edit, please use the "Show preview" button to check that the effect is what you intended, and don't press "Save page" if it obviously wrong. I have reverted your edits to Wycombe Wanderers F.C. (I presume the three edits just before yours were made by you editing while not logged in) because they spoiled the presentation of the article, removing the | character from flagicon so that it looked like instead of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, and adding full stop characters inside links like Darren Currie so that it became Darren Currie. and no longer worked.

If you want to make an article about someone, but there is already an article at that title, the way to do it is to add a suitable "disambiguator" to the name, which helps the reader, rather than just a full stop, which is confusing - "Andrew Harvey (footballer)" not "Andrew Harvey." which is hard to distinguish from "Andrew Harvey" JohnCD (talk) 21:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
