Ronnie Wallwork
Hiya. I just wanted to say that this edit summary made me chuckle. I wish I could help all our players find their scoring form!! Peanut4 (talk) 21:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've made some very slight changes. I'm pretty confident it will pass GA. My only suggestion would be whether it's worth adding his FA Youth Cup win and POTS award at West Brom in the honours section? Peanut4 (talk) 22:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was going to put the last part of your comment in my edit summary, but didn't think it was quite the place!! I totally agree though with your remark. Good luck with the GA nomination, though I can't see there being any problems, apart from probably having to wait a couple of weeks for a review. Peanut4 (talk) 21:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow. Thanks. I'm extremely grateful. Peanut4 (talk) 23:06, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
Couldn't agree more about the bot, in fact I was going to bring it up at WT:FOOTY. I started going through all of the season articles but got bored after 7 or 8, so now I'm just moving any that I stumble across whilst editing other articles. :-)

By the way, I bought the two books that you recommended a while ago at the weekend and I have to say that they are both excellent. Thanks for the advice! Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 22:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm sorry that I couldn't help out more with Ronnie Wallwork, but unfortunately his time at Hillsborough was pretty uneventful, I'm afraid to say. I didn't think that there was a lot that I could add. It should sail through WP:GAN though, you've done a cracking job on the article. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 22:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Football infobox stats
Aaahhh, thanks. Sorry about that. I'll go back and clean up. Cheers! Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Scott Carson
Hi, thanks for the message. I've been working up a lead in a sandbox, which is a little wordier than yours. I'll add it later today (I have just realised what the time is!) then the article can go for peer review, if that's OK. Regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, Jameboy. I think I've done everything I want to do with this article. Would you like to go ahead and put it up for peer review? Thanks, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have been a bit preoccupied on another page but should be able chip in on Scott Carson as well. Regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Jameboy. Thanks for the work that you've been putting into the peer review. I've mopped up the few remaining items, I think. Would you like to look over the article? Regards --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar
You're very kind. Thought your cast-off Phillips looked quite promising yesterday :-))) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Simon Wormull
Thanks... Funny really, I had no intention of writing this one at all. Did his teammate Jean-Michel Sigere for purely personal reasons - when he was at Lewes he did some coaching at local primary schools as part of their community programme and one of the kids he coached was a member of my family - and Wormull's career overlapped so much with Sigere's that it seemed sensible not to waste the research. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Following on from that, what do you think Simon Wormull needs doing to get it to GA? I've no experience of the process, so do you think I should just submit it and see what happens, or are there any obvious deficiencies you could point out before I do? any advice gratefully received, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If only I knew... One piece I read mentioned "businesses", but no indication of what sort. Will have another search if and when I can be spared from decorating duties. thanks, Struway2 (talk) 18:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Your copyright question
Hi. I'm processing tickets at the Wikipedia copyrights problem board. Problems listed on August 9th have just become open for administrator closure. I saw your note there about Image:ChrisPowell.jpg and how, presuming good faith, the contributor could prove permission. I've left him a note at his talk page explaining how but wanted to also let you know for your future use that permission is verified by one of the processes at WP:Permission. Most commonly, the copyright owner will provide a written release from an e-mail associated with the site which is then forwarded to the Wikimedia Foundation's Communication Committee. This release must include very specific language to ensure that the copyright holder knows that the material may be changed or published elsewhere, even commercially. Sometimes, alternatively, a release statement is placed at the website. Again, the license of the release has to allow proper reuse.

At this point it looks like images will no longer be listed at WP:CP, so this may never be a problem you face again. But in case images continue being listed there, I also wanted to let you know that quite often nobody reads those reports until they come due 7 days after they are listed. If you want a quick response about media and copyright, the best place I know to get it is WP:MCQ.

Thanks for discovering that problem and helping to address it. We'll have to wait and see if permission can be verified. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Sister clubs heading on Template:Sheffield United F.C.
Thanks for the offer. As a whole there isn't any animosity between members of the two projects (as far as I am aware!), the SUFC project was actually inspired by (read copied from) the SWFC one anyway. I have actually added the same comment to the SUFC WikiProject talk page but have not received a reply as yet. Maybe you could add a note there too? — Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 20:43, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Dean Windass
I just noticed your edit summary at Dean Windass, regarding B / C class. It's my aim at one point to push this towards GA. I suppose I should have done it before he got back into the Premier League, but I guess your edit summary might give me another kick to do so. ;-) Peanut4 (talk) 23:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've noticed your assessments, on perhaps only the tip of the iceberg. I've been very impressed. I tried to start doing a few a while back but it's a tough, at times tedious job, which makes me even more impressed by your targets. I also noticed the shortcut; I wasn't sure how these things work but I doubt anyone is going to complain about it nor would conflict with another similar shortcut. It would be good to give the page a bit of an overhaul, as per your comments the other day. I've also been thinking about giving the main page a spring clean, and perhaps even starting a newsletter to try increase participation at the higher-value end, e.g. good articles and featured work. Peanut4 (talk) 00:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the upgrade, made my day. Beve (talk) 10:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

WP:EFTF
I've just been stalking you on Peanut's talk page :-) and noticed that you've set up the above shortcut. I've looked in to it before and I don't think you need any permission or consensus to set up a shortcut as long as it's not already in use, but it should be listed at List of shortcuts/Project shortcuts. Not sure where you would put it (i.e. under F or E); probably as a sub-listing of WP:FOOTY? — Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 07:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've updated the list of shortcuts. Seems task forces are grouped along with their parent project. Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 20:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Bradford City 2007-08
I wasn't a fan of the season-by-season articles, but finally decided "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" and decided to do it fully and correctly. Though the thoroughness of doing so, means it might be difficult to go back and add all the past ones in!!! As for the table, it was my intention to highlight the Bradford row, both with a colour and a note or bolding (for WP:ACCESSIBILITY) but I couldn't fathom out how to do it. Have you any ideas? Peanut4 (talk) 13:50, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice one. I've bolded our final position, rather than anything else - I think that's the bit I got stuck on last time. As for 2007-08 in English football, I think your work has been top-class. I've not wanted to intrude at all, but if you want me to take a look at anything in particular, I will do. Peanut4 (talk) 20:41, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Sheffield Rules quality rating
As far as I am aware the A-class review is a relatively new thing, brought in at the same time as the new C-class rating in July this year. The article was originally assessed as A-class in February, hence the lack of review.

If you feel that it doesn't meet A-class standard (I don't see why it wouldn't as it has been through a peer review and only failed FA because of a lack of interest in the nomination rather than any objections) then leave it as GA-class, but otherwise I would keep it as A-class. — Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 20:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... Is the link that you pointed me to not just an internal process of WPBiography? I really can't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere that a formal review was needed to give an A-class rating before the changes this summer.
 * I changed the article rating back to A-class literally just before getting your reply, so feel free to change it back if you like :-)
 * If a review is needed then I feel it would be best to "go for the jugular" and put it in for FAC again, hopefully if we can drum up a bit more interest this time it should go through fairly easily. — Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 21:03, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Dundee United
I agree, thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at the Ipswich articles. •Oranje• ·Talk 12:45, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Triple crown jewels
Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on Bob Roberts (footballer) - for an article that was only relatively recently a WP:DYK, it is certainly very well-referenced with some noteworthy material, a valuable addition to the project. May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 02:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Award thingy
I'm sorry to say I honestly can't decipher what the actual name of the award is. Personal preference would be the more formal supporter's. user:SE7User_talk:SE7/Special:Contributions/SE7 21:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar
Shucks, many thanks :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Wallwork GA
Yeah, I was just about to say congratulations. No worries about helping out - to be honest you did the substantial amount of the work. Though it's good to see another football GA. Well done. Peanut4 (talk) 22:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Tomorrow's game
Best of luck for tomorrow (so long as we win) ;-) I did a lot of work on LuaLua a year ago and some work more recently on his international career. I'm troubled by the number of international appearances that he has made as there doesn't seem to be a reliable source for this so I'm gradually building up a table of appearances in a sandbox to try and get to the bottom of it. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Villa FLC
With regards to the FLC of Aston Villa F.C. statistics and records, I have removed Davies from the table altogether, too speculative. Could I ask you to re-review and offer your opinions? Thanks and regards. Woody (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Ted Pheasant
just to let you know i've created a page for this player, should you have any further information to add. the albion figures in the databox probably need checking, i do think my source might be for ALL appearances not just the league (the wolves figures however are definitely league only) Wolvesweb (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Joe Smith
Just created a stub/short article on Joe Smith (footballer born 1890), him being the last-but-one on my list of Blues players with >50 apps, which you may want to expand. Should mention his birth date, which Matthews and Joyce both have as 17 April but the englandstats reference has as 10 April. Don't know whether the existing Joe Smith (footballer) should be changed to (footballer born 1889), or left where he is as possibly being the better known of the two. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Whatever the consensus is. Personally, I don't have a problem with footballer being a different sport from football player. I've also mentioned it to Daemonic Kangaroo who takes an interest in England players. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the talk-page revert. Been acquainting myself with Wikipedia's finest of late. As for the articles on the two Joe Smiths, I don't have a problem with Joe Smith (footballer) being moved to Joe Smith (footballer born 1889). - Dudesleeper / Talk  18:01, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've changed the Joe Smith (footballer) page to redirect to Joe Smith (footballer born 1889). As it was, dozens of previously-functioning links were left ending up at Joseph Smith (disambiguation). And added a hatnote to each of the footballers pointing to the other. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought that till I saw all the Blackpool season articles... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Is the second half of the hatnote at Joe Smith (footballer born 1889) (haven't checked the others) (For other persons named Joseph Smith, see Joseph Smith (disambiguation).) necessary? If Joe Smith redirected there, then I think so, but that isn't the case. - Dudesleeper / Talk  19:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

List of The Open Championship champions
Hey, I've addressed your comments at the FLC, regarding the prize money I'm not convinced it's necessary, especially as figures are not to hand for the other three majors. Anyway if you have time, could you have another look at it please. Cheers NapHit (talk) 15:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added another question at the FLC. I've also appealed for members of WikiProject Golf to leave comments. I'd be uncomfortable supporting if no golf experts have even looked at it. --Jameboy (talk) 22:47, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Robert McNiell
Whoops, I added that part in by accident, thanks for spotting it. Sunderland06 (talk) 14:22, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

John Gorman
He played twice in the League Cup in 1986 in an emergency (he was youth coach at the time). He doesn't appear on the big list because the list only includes those players who played at least once in The Football League...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Fryslan
You might consider joining WikiProject Friesland for we allways need more participants. We can always use someone to help us to cope with vandalism on our articles or to create templates, upload images. No real knowledge is required. Just more members is what we need and a more international participant list would be great. -The Bold Guy- (talk) 18:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

main
Yes, as I recall, it was actually your original removal of various other uses of the main template that I was thinking of while performing this latest set of reverts. Anyway, I agree, it's not illogical to think that way, so I understand why people might want to put the main template at the top of a sub-page. I just hope that our efforts can go some way to helping others to understand too. – PeeJay 16:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
