I'd like to point out that in the articel he never actually says that they are playing guitar together. But in his autobiographie he also mentions the puzzles and the sex. Sure Sex is not something that must be displayed here but at least the puzzle solving together is actually mentioned by him. At least twice. He never says they play together. She is more in her singing and so on. I don't think he is joking about that. Sure he has a fine and subtle pallet of humor but he says it consistantly. Oh and there is this.

Sofien Moussa
Hi, you took down this sentence from Sofien Moussa's page "He plays for the only team in Dundee that plays in the Scottish premiership". You stated that this is not constructive but it does state a fact that there is only one football team in Dundee that plays in the Scottish Premiership. Its also helps so that people do not get confused on the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DFC123 (talk • contribs) 11:26, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Wrexham A.F.C. notable players
Hi, just going to place a query to why you undid the inclusion of Carl Tremarco in the Wrexham A.F.C. "other notable former players" section?

My reason for includid Tremarco is as such:

The section's inclusion criteria is "attained international caps (bold), went on to/previously played at a significantly higher level of football or is notable for a specific reason."

Tremarco went on to play in the Scottish Premier League for Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C. from his signing in 2013 to Inverness' relegation to the Scottish Championship in 2017. I would argue that the SPL is a "significantly higher level of football" than the 4th and 5th tier of English football, which is where Tremarco played whilst at Wrexham.

92.19.147.55 (talk) 18:48, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I suppose that is a fair point. I have, however, included Mathias Pogba under that section for now, since "attained international caps" is a criteria that doesn't leave a grey area like the others. 92.19.147.55 (talk) 19:09, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Luis Alberto Vieira Medina
He played in Erovnuli Liga, top football league of Georgia, which is a professional one. Rhinen

Is their mistake then, a league that has teams in UEFA competitions is professional, especially when we are talking about a Premier League of an UEFA member, I think that Luxembourg and Gibraltar are the only one semi-professional. That list must be updated. Erovnuli Liga. Since 1990, it has been organized by the Professional Football League of Georgia Rhinen

It's not professional, https://epfl-europeanleagues.com/member-leagues-and-associate-members/, but then must be modified Erovnuli Liga's page because there it says that is professional. But this is a crap, all leagues that plays in professional terms must be professional, for example Liga I and Liga II has the same rules, Liga II players are fully-professional, but the championship is organized by Romanian Football Federation, when Liga I is organized by Romanian Professional League, which is under the led of Romanian Football Federation, so is just bureaucracy and division of labor.

Your GA nomination of Cardiff City F.C.
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Cardiff City F.C. you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Cardiff City F.C. you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Cardiff City F.C. for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

 * Also, I think it is in good enough shape for a crack at FAC. I will ask to take a look. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. The main comment I'd have is that the history section has four roughly similar sized parags, covering roughly 20, 20, 20 and 45 years. That makes me think that the 1945-1990 section should be expanded (and ideally, split in two, because that'd be neat!). But that's not a biggie. It's in good shape. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks for that. I've never taken an article to FA so I'm somewhat inexperienced regarding the extra criteria required above GA status. Regarding the larger time span of the section that was mentioned above, this is largely down to the fact that it is regarded as the dark days when the club achieved very little and won even less but I could try and expand on it a bit more. Kosack (talk) 12:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

There are some small issues in the prose, but there always are at this stage. Go for FAC. Your humble attitude and hard work are perfect for that place. Well done. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 16:56, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Outreach and Invitations:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
 * Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!
 * If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: . Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
 * Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. —  TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) 
 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

 * My bad, i didn't translate it correctly, because we use different phrases to describe things in Greece, what i meant was that Zagorakis captained PAOK with just a leg and a half. This is exactly the reason why he became a true legend in our hearts.

Kindly notice the attached proof below. Timmy

New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Howard Spencer
Your DYK blurb says: "that footballer Howard Spencer became the first Aston Villa player to captain England in 1905?" but according our own article (List of England national football team captains) and according to the source you've been using (England Football Online), he actually acted as captain for the first time in 1903...,  pinged too, just to let them know. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , let's try that again. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:10, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I used the information from his profile on England Football Online which lists him as captaining England on two occasions in 1905. Rather strangely, the match report for the first 1905 match also lists that match as his first captaincy. Perhaps if there's some confusion over the actual year then it should be removed from the hook? Kosack (talk) 15:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe. I added the reference which explicitly states he captained for the first time in 1903.  Your call really, just thought you should know since if you're going to use England Football Online as a source, it's currently saying 1903, not 1905 as his debut captaincy. This, from the same source backs up 1903.  Perhaps contact the guys running the site, there's clearly an error somewhere in there... The Rambling Man (talk) 15:17, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I would say to remove it, the year isn't really relevant to the hook anyway. John Lerwill, former Aston Villa club historian, supports him being the first Villa England captain HERE so the actual DYK part of the hook is solid. Kosack (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, I never doubted he was Villa's first captain, but the very first thing I did when reviewing the hook was to check our own aricle on captains, then the historical listings at England Football Online. That's all.  If you decide to ditch the year, that's fine, I just wanted you and the promoters to know that I believe there's sufficient, easily found evidence that it was wrong. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, no worries. I've amended the hook in the prep area to remove the year. I should have made sure it was watertight before nominating, thanks for pointing it out. Kosack (talk) 16:31, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries, you might still like to clarify with the website which is correct, as I've added the 1903 date, referenced, into the article. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:34, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've e-mailed the website regarding the issue, hopefully they will respond. Kosack (talk) 16:43, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

hello
Hello. I saw that my edit for Daniel Cormier height was denied. I have undeniable evidence that Cormier cannot be over 5'9. Multiple photos with guys that are 5'9 in which he appears either shorter than them or of the same height. We should not base our stats on fighters claims. Most of the fighters always claims more than their real height. Let's not forget that shane carwin was listed by the ufc at 6'5 which in reality he is 6'1.

Hello, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: New Year Backlog Drive results:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
 * We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!
 * We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update: If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. 20:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
 * Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Colin Gibson
This info was given to me by a friend of his from Stourbridge. If you can tell me how to reference that that would be appreciated. Given the time that has passed it's unlikely this info will re-appear, it seems a shane to leave it out.

Neil Warnock
re - my Neil Warnock addition / that you took down/ that Ken Bates as Chelsea Chairman offered him the Chelsea manager job

There is already a mention - on Neil Warnock wikipedia page - that he was offered the Chelsea job. I cannot make out if this is referenced or not - it does not seem clear to me. Can you clear explain this to me ? Checking back on the years, you can see Ken Bates was - in those years, the Chelsea Chairman. Seems to make no sense taking it down.

(≈≈≈≈) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Number30 (talk • contribs) 00:46, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I mistakenly thought the earlier Warnock/ Chelsea mention was referenced. It was not clear. Now you have explained to me it is not referenced, but what you call rumour, then why is it not taken down ? Makes no sense at all to have unreferenced detail on a living person. Perhaps you or I should contact Warnock himself.
