Possible deletion
My friend I think it's possible that they nominate your recent created articles about players in NWSL for deletion. It's already happened to me and it discouraged me to keep creating articles in women's soccer. If this happens to you, you can contact me and I can try help you to defend your articles. Greetings --SirEdimon (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * What pages are you referring to that were up for deletion? Also, thank you for helping update the NWSL articles. For any future player articles, can you please remove "american" from the sentence you're using - "in the National Women's Soccer League" or "the National Women's Soccer League in the United States" is correct grammar. Thank you! Hmlarson (talk) 22:46, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The criteria for deletion in women's soccer are very subjective, since there no fully professional leagues in the world. I'm contacting you for asking a question: Do you think we could create profiles for the new players called for the national team? I think they will be deleted.--SirEdimon (talk) 00:44, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Are you referring to this list? Training Camp Roster. I think of the list, Crystal Dunn definitely needs an article and will have MANY articles to support notoriety - with many articles available from her recent Hermann Trophy win and the College Cup Trophy win for UNC. I also have little doubt she'll be in the NWSL (or another pro league) once she graduates college. Whitney Engen has an article that could be updated.  I think everyone else has an article, except for:


 * Jane Campbell
 * Julie Johnston


 * I personally am not too familiar with these two players, but would love to see an article for each and can provide assistance if you'd like to collaborate. I will help support should they be nominated for deletion. Hmlarson (talk) 20:19, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

My friend I created Crystal Dunn as you can see. The article still needs improvements. About Jane Campbell, she is a U-17 member and starting GK. And Johnson was the captain of the U-20 team that won the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.--SirEdimon (talk) 21:43, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks for doing that! I've expanded Adrianna Franch (recently undeleted) and will work on expanding Crystal Dunn sometime soon. Another player who has professional experience and notoriety is Amber Brooks, recently signed to the Portland Thorns and who is currently playing for FC Bayern München. After thinking about it some more, I think it might be advisable to hold off on Campbell and Johnson for now. There are plenty of other players drafted to the NWSL who will need articles and clearly meet the criteria for Wiki articles according to WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Hmlarson (talk) 23:56, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I created Amber Brooks. About Adrianna Franch I created this article sometime ago and it was deleted. Today I received a message making me aware that Franch article was nominated for deletion. I'll follow your advice and hold off on Campbell and Johnson for now. I proposed to include NWSL in the fully pro leagues list, but it didn't included yet.--SirEdimon (talk) 19:01, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for creating the article for Amber Brooks. It's a great start. Citations are really key for supporting these articles and I'll work on expanding and adding more citations when possible. Yes, discussion about Franch article going on here. Thanks also for fixing the dabsolver links for Shaffer and Averbuch! :) Hmlarson (talk) 19:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Undeleted
I've undeleted the article you asked about. Please do add the unearthed sources to it though. And if you could leave a note on the talk page about how it was deleted and restored that would be very helpful. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 17:32, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Re:NWSL - you will need an independent source, please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. GiantSnowman 20:38, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

NWSL and the Abby Wambach interview
Hello. Courtesy notification that I've just removed the NWSL from the list of fully-professional leagues, because what Abby Wambach says in the interview you linked as verification actually makes it clear that it isn't yet fully-pro as understood at WP:FPL. I explained why at the talk page posting Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:32, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on women's soccer articles and for joining the task force! I found a good source for USWNT appearances here. Keep up the great work. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 13:17, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a quick note to say thanks very much for the barnstar! You guys are doing a great job with the NWSL stuff, it's good to see a small but dedicated bunch who won't let women's soccer be ignored/neglected on here. Even when our own Wikiproject seems to work against us most of the time! I hope to be back on a more permanent basis soon to help with the fight. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 11:44, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Categories
You're obviously doing a lot of good work. Just a small request, when you create/see a "team X players" category, can you create the matching "team X" category as well? It saves a lot of extra work for those of us creating non-existent categories, more importantly you're much more likely to get the categorisation right compared to those of us with no knowledge at all of the subject. Seems to be a particular problem with US women's (association) football, given the way one team may have been part of several different leagues. I've done New York Fury to give you a rough idea of what's needed, you may want to check the categories though. Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 11:20, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I checked the New York Fury article but didn't see a category added for New York Fury so added it. I think I know what you're saying and must've missed creating the main category for the Fury - although I've done it for others. Thanks for your help! Hmlarson (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops - that was my mistake, I was thinking of but I should have added it to the article as well. I noticed the players category was broken because you'd used curly brackets rather than square, I wasn't sure how well up on this stuff you were, so I thought I'd do some samples with catmain and other bits. It's much appreciated you doing this - one of the things we're struggling with are the huge numbers of player categories created for alumni of US college sports teams with no parent hierarchy, which gets quite fiddly as you're often not only creating the team cat but the college cat as well.Le Deluge (talk) 11:43, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Category: Feminist musicians
Per WP:BLPCAT we should not be introducing a category for which there is no evidence to articles on living people. --John (talk) 19:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Without reference to the article you're referring to, I am unable to provide such evidence. Hmlarson (talk) 19:16, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh right. I've undone your category edits. Please don't make any more without providing evidence that the categories are correct. --John (talk) 19:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, you've reverted edits that are not even related to the addition of this category. All category tags that I've added can be verified via a basic Google search. Hmlarson (talk) 19:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Then I suggest making that basic Google search, using it to find sources, adding them to the body of the article, and then and only then adding the category back. --John (talk) 19:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, should I add this to this page as well? I find your tactics heavy-handed and an abuse of admin privileges per WP:ADMINACCT. Hmlarson (talk) 19:28, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Just a quick "heads up". Please do not re-add Joni Mitchell to the category of feminist musicians. I removed the category from her page last week and noted in the edit summary that she spoke at some length in new interview explaining why she does not consider herself a feminist.

 * What I can remember is "played every minute of"; I will have a look when connection better. On my 3G tablet now because the adsl has gone belly up this a.m., trust temporarily. Happy to see a keep close on AfD. That NFOOTBALL needs serious revision. But I don't see where I will have time to do anything about it.

Ok, on this page mostly just little issues: That's all I can suggest for now. Imo your sources are more than adequate for the content.  David_FLXD  (Talk) 20:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Opening para should include a short, solidly substantiated statement on why she is notable. eg. "she has been recognised as "one of the two best" " with two independent sources would work, or else note one or two career highlights so far, eg. UEFA recognition as one of the top ten in Europe in 2009 or 11 national caps at u/23.
 * Club career, para 2, yes, cut "a disappointed".
 * Club career, para 3: to me, "collected her first league winner's medal" is too informal and too presumptious, sounding as if she is expected to collect many more (but it is too soon for this to have happened yet). Yes, she probably is expected to collect many more, but it is difficult to express that in a neutral encyclopaedic tone. Also, the medals are really credited to the team, are they not? (I know the winning players each get one, but it is because the team has won, so I feel that it is inappropriate to isolate one player as having won a medal. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.)
 * International career, para 1: "played every minute of Sweden's campaign" is too partisan and therefore not adequately neutral in tone; "played all the matches of Sweden's campaign" would be better but could still be improved upon.

Abby Wambach
As per your request above:

In Early life:
 * I think "Wambach attended Our Lady of Mercy High School in Rochester, New York, where she lettered in soccer and basketball" needs to have the years specified; it is a little difficult to figure out, for example, how far through high school she was when she scored 34 goals in 1997. (Maybe this is more true for non-US readers; our South African high schoolers finish at anything from 17 to 20 years old, usually with grade 12).
 * Good idea. I added the years to the sentence.


 * "national Player of the Year" does this include both genders? Or is it understood that a woman player is selected only from among woman players?
 * Several sources including 1, 2, 3 just state national player of the year.

In Club career:
 * para 1: "second overall draft pick" is not something I can read and fully understand, again maybe because I am not American! But I suspect many other international readers might struggle with this sort of jargony phrase which relates to US practice.
 * I've re-worded this to: "In 2002, Wambach was selected second during the first round of the 2002 WUSA Draft by the Washington Freedom..." Do you think this will be more easily understood?

In International career:
 * para 1: "arch-rival" seems too informal, too "newsy". How about "strong rival / close rival / or just group rival? main rival?
 * I couldn't find this reference just now, so I may have revised it earlier.


 * 2007 FIFA WWC: Wambach received 11 stitches in her head during the first match?
 * This section has been expanded. And yes, during the match. Ouch!


 * 2008 Summer Olympics:"Wambach was the team's leading scorer at the time and had just reached 99 goals, just one shy of becoming the fifth U.S. player and ninth female player in world history to notch 100 career international goals. Wambach's 100th goal was scored during a friendly match against Canada in her hometown of Rochester on July 19, 2009. She reached 100 goals in fewer games than any of the four other American players who had previously reached 100 goals: (Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Michelle Akers and Tiffeny Milbrett)"


 * I think this has too much duplication between "nearly 100" and the actual 100th goal. I suggest this: "Wambach was the team's leading goal scorer at this time, and her 100th career international goal was scored during a friendly match against Canada in her hometown of Rochester on July 19, 2009. She was the fifth U.S. player to notch 100 international goals, but did so in fewer games than any of the earlier four: (names)." If she was 10th or better in the world, say so, otherwise just leave it out.
 * This section has been re-worded and expanded considerably.

It is now late, late, late and I am going to bed. I trust these comments are helpful, please ignore anything you don't agree with, I promise not to get all huffy! If you do tend to agree, look for similar instances, I don't know if I got everything. Regards,  David_FLXD  (Talk) 20:50, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hmlarson, it was actually user:Mentoz86 who added the contradiction tag not me - so I guess you'll have to wait and see! In the meantime I'll see if I can add any more to the articles. Norwegian players seem to get relatively good coverage so I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard to iron out between the three of us. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 02:05, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes, I was the one who added the contraction tag. While expanding the Ada article I discovered a source that their family moved to Kolbotn (the place) in 2007, and that they both started to play for Kolbotn IL in 2007 and that they were promoted to the first-team squad in 2009 and 2010 respectively. (which contradicts that Andrine joined Kolbotn in 2009) I've also done some works with both articles today, you might want to check it out. I've also started a discussion at Talk:Ada Hegerberg regarding her stats in Norway, neither of you added them to the article, but I still want you to contribute to the discussion.

Yea, definately. I don't have any 'portal' experience but I'll take a look soon. I'm in awe at the work you've done so far! We are really, really lucky to have you in the taskforce :) Clavdia chauchat (talk) 20:19, 19 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Great! Thank you. Vice versa! If you want to send a message via my user page, we could discuss some ideas. This week there has been a bit of good news in the states re: NWSL. 1 Exciting time! Hmlarson (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alex Morgan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

P:WAF
I noticed that you've recently created Portal:Women's association football, well done! (About time someone did). You may find it useful to have a quick read of my own essay User:Nanonic/On Portals and look at the design of the other football portals for some tips on how to improve it (Blatant egotism as I created/helped redesign some of them). If I have time during the week, I'll clean up some of the obvious issues and copy over some content from other portals if you'd like. Nanonic (talk) 00:27, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for your feedback. If you'd like to let me know what obvious issues you're talking about, that'd be useful. I mostly followed WP:POG and the instructions and took a look at existing portals, including some of the football ones. If you're up for it, one issue I could use help with is fixing the news section. Thanks. Hmlarson (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I updated the news config, it pulls from https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Portal:Football/Wikipedia/Women using the config on that page (you can add further categories etc if you wish). The obvious issues I mentioned are the reflinks that go nowhere and redlinks to non-existent articles. With portals, we mainly want to point readers to the article itself if they want more information so those fixes are trivial. Same for thumb images, having images inline just helps with the look of things without boxes inside boxes. I'll see if I can show you what I mean soon. Nanonic (talk) 01:14, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikinews interview of potential interest
I did an interview on Wikinews. It can be found at n:Wikinews interviews academic Steve Redhead about Australian women's soccer. Randomly, if you have any female soccer plays you know who might be interested in being interviewed for Wikinews, please get them in touch with me. I'd be happy to do that. Wikinews stories feed to Google News and the site had about 12 million visits last month. --LauraHale (talk) 13:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Excellent work! I had noticed the new headline on the news feed for the women's association football portal, but just had a chance to read it. Keep up the great work. I have a few ideas for players in the NWSL who might respond to a request for an interview, but you'd probably need to initiate the inquiry. Hmlarson (talk) 17:55, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you have attendance stats for the W-League? Hmlarson (talk) 17:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hi Hmlarson! I just wanted to thank you for the barnstar; it feels really good and uplifting when someone appreciates the work you do. I also want to thank you for conducting the reviews for Addicted to You and The Sun Comes Out World Tour, especially of the latter since it was lying around in the backlog for so long. Thank you so much for the token of appreciation and your contributions! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 08:22, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
