Wikilinks
Hi. Just some advice regarding the use of links. There is no need to link a word in the same paragraph more than once or to link just surnames, which are often shared by many people or don't have an article at all. Additionally, some words have more than one article. For instance, England links to the country, not the team. The team is at England national football team. To leave just the word England showing, it is piped like this: England. Equally, Liverpool links to the city. Liverpool F.C. is for the team, and can be piped as above.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Brackets
Hi there; may I suggest that you check through the links listed in your welcome message; your otherwise perfectly good writing is being spoilt by incorrect usage of square brackets and apostropes. A double square bracket will generate a link; there is no need to make a link within an article to the articl's title. Different numbers of apostropes have different effects on the emphasis:- 'one', two, three, 'four'. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 17:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello IceBluesUK! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:
