Railways
Thx again - adding good refs is a very good idea. Someone adding bits like this well will, I hope, lead the prime editors to up their game and use citations more. The VC and GC is a great idea but I hope you won't just restrict it to public schoolsx ... these people make the "comp" notable!. Their is an online database of VC winners but it gives birthplace .. but not schools ... but I notice that their are two books that claim to name names.


 * Oh trivia ... Repton school has a prep school called Foremarke Hall ... which also has a train named after it
 * Other trivia - there is a school in India at Lucknow that was given "battle honours" in 1930 for its student's role in the Indian mutiny Victuallers 09:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Victoria College
Hello. Thanks for the work on Vic. For the cat:, the School itself is not an OV (Old Victorian) so shouldn't be in the Old Victorians category - but the category page contains a link to the Vic article.

The status of the school is slightly bizarre in that it is owned by the public, but a member of HMC. The existence of a fee-paying sector within States-provided education in Jersey sometimes seems odd to outsiders. Until the establishment of the governing body a few years back, the school was directly under the control of the Education Committee, but it is much more of an autonomous institution now than it was (but that goes for States education generally, under the new regime of governing bodies).

BTW, I'm not certain that Queen Victoria can be described as being the Founder without being somewhat misleading. What do you think? Man vyi 11:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've put in a link to the cat: As for the founder, it was the States. The Loi (1860) au sujet du Collège Victoria comments that the school was erected by the States and the administrators of impôts (as explained in the article, the States didn't have full control over educational provision until 1921).
 * BTW, helpful wiki-hint - you can sign and date your comments easily by typing 4 tildes at the end of what you write, like I'm about to do here: Man vyi 05:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

List of Old Alleynians
Longer lists like this are hard to know how to manage. I noticed you were reorganizing this list and also doing some work on the Old Wellingtonians. At the Old Greshamians list, I have ended up with quite a simple structure - you may like the header Public life, which catches some people who are hard to put in a small box of their own, like ambassadors. The List of notable Old Marlburians is very like the Old Alleynians approach.

So far, I see the Old Carthusians list is simply chronological, like the four lists of Old Etonians, while the lists of Old Harrovians and the Old Rugbeians are simply in alphabetical order. There clearly isn't any norm yet! Xn4 02:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

 * With regards to the article, why are the school wikilinks in the notes section bold? It seems strange to me, i have never seen it before. This was a minor question about the article and has no bearing on the AFD which is why i am asking you here. Thanks Woodym555 20:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. There is no need for the wikilinks to be bold and I will amend this. The reason, I think, is that I built up the initial list in excel and then wrote some formulas to create the text for the wiki table. I believe that I mistakenly added the three inverted comments at the beginning of that wikilink. Simple as that really.Kwib 12:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

St Bees School
Hello there. I started work on a new article some months ago but was plagued by the dearth of recent information, despite being an alumnus of the school. I neglected several parts of the history due to exams, and the same with the 3 VC winners. I'm currently on business in the United States and therefore have no access to my history of St Bees School which I planned to cite to Kingdom come, although if time allows I might utilise the village website's fine history to make the page current. Of course, feel free to take whatever you want from the page. Time I had another look at it I think. Nice to see the new Old St Beghians Category in being. --Harlsbottom 23:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Dulwich College Visitor
I am unaware of the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury as visitor to the school. Indeed, putting it in such a prominent position in the infobox seems a trifle unecessary, as it is giving an unecessary level of emphasis to a position that is perhaps historical, and yet meaningless today. (Indeed, I can definately say he has never visited the school - at least as archbishop) He is not mentioned in any of the schools publications. Feel free to correct me.

Re: Biography Assessments
Sorry I haven't replied for a bit. There is supposed to be a subpage to put comments, but as soon as someone puts the rating on, the link to the comments page disappears, which seems kind of redundant. In the future, I think I'll just put them on the talk page. But as for the article, the next step is to meet the six B-class criteria. So, I think first, the early life and career sections may need to be expanded. Also, more in-text citations and a picture would help. After these things, then it'll be easier to meet the criteria. Anyway, have fun editing. :) Green caterpillar (talk) 14:14, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Britain in Bloom
Hi Kwib, I did a bit of work on the Britain in Bloom page a few weeks back. I was amazed by the amount of intensive work you had done there – astonishing! But there are still a few things that need a bit of clarification, I think, especially in the tables. Where a cell is filled with a block of colour at the base of the table (representing the early years of the competition) it obviously indicates the non-existence of those categories in those years, but what do the empty cells higher up mean? Were the categories not contested, or were none of the entries judged good enough for a title? And what does it mean when a category such as Small Country Town, or Large City is blank in some years and filled with tone in others? Perhaps two colours should be used, with a key?

 * Responded on SiGarb talk page.Kwib (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your speedy reply. It all becomes clear (or clearer!). So perhaps a key, or, as you say, some standard text overlying the blocks of tone would help to clarify the situation. Cheers! SiGarb | Talk 22:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I deleted because after reading the article I did not understand why this player was notable. It was not clear from the article. He seemed to be unremarkable player. However after reviewing the article the second time (with your clarification in mind) I restored it.

Question re. rugby infobox
Firstly please forgive my ignorance, the only contributions I make relating to rugby union are when I make articles to add to the List of cricket and rugby union players (I've picked on you to answer my query because you made some edits there). In many cases, this means adding a rugby player infobox to the article but I am unsure about one thing which I hope u can help me out with. When it asks you to list their international 'caps' and 'points', is this only for official Test matches? For example, All Black James Tilyard played just one Test match but represented New Zealand in nine tour matches, against sides like NSW. I've combined the two to give him 10 caps, as that seems to be how List of New Zealand national rugby union footballers is set out. Is this correct? Or are Test matches and perhaps matches against other international sides the only things to be considered caps? Any clarification would be appreciated. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 06:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the prompt and detailed response. I will have to look back over other articles I've made because I think I've 'overcapped' some guys. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 09:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * In both rugby league and rugby union we number international appearances in the info-box as being Test and World Cup appearances. A tour match doesn't count as an international appearance although it makes a player a national representative. Thus you do get players whose article refers to them as a national representative player even though they have 0 international appearances in the infobox. I don't have an RU example top of mind but here's an RL example. rgds - Sticks  66  13:05, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Rugby player articles

 * Sounds about right. There is low coverage for the early rugby players, unless they were picked up by other projects, such as cricketers. Wales will be strong in the early days, as I have put a lot of effort into these articles, and have completed the first 200 internationals (not just stubs either, if you find one tell me.) I have also made sure that the first three Lions tours have comprehensive articles on all notable players (ie those we can trace). I have now come to the 1909 Home Nations, (before France joined proper) and am back tracking to cover more Ireland, Scotland and England internationals. The big drop off point will be from WWI through to the 1960s, from the 1970s, we have Wikipedians alive during this period who are more active to create these articles. You may find that this period reflects your stats. If there are articles needed for players prior to 1910, then give me a shout, I have a few books on this period.

List of Germany national rugby union players
Nice work, mate. I assume, you used scrum.com as your source, which, unfortunatley, seems to have a flaw. It only records German internationals from the Moldova game in 2006 onwards and therefore counts players debuets as at this game or after, regardless whether they played for Germany before or not. And most have played for Germany before. What do you suggest to do? Leave it as it is or delete the information on players we are not sure about? Calistemon (talk) 10:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I think maybe the thing to do with this article is to include a link to List of Scotland national rugby union players, and remove most of the internationalists, but then put the likes of Ned Haig, Bill McLaren etc on this list, who are significant players but who never made it onto the national squad.

1973 International Seven-A-Side Tournament
An excellent article - but can I just raise a couple of questions? The article mentions three unrelated Browns from the Gala club taking part, but I can only see two listed in Scotland's squad, is there another one who needs listing? And the article also describes the tournament starting with a shock in England's win over Wales, when the match listing shows this as the final pool games.

According to my source, the 1973-74 Rothmans Yearbook, the order of the pool matches was exactly as you have given it, so I am sure England-Wales must have been the last game.

I saw your comment about the Hjalti Arnason page I created, and you seem to think that I took information from the Le Defi Mark Ten International page that you created, but in fact I got the information from the website "David Horne's World of Grip". I have also created dozens of pages for both strength athletes and strength contests and I dont see why I would need to acknowledge someone else's wikipedia article when I clearly got the info from a website.

 * Response at User talk:Strongmantom that reads: "Many thanks for you response on my page. I was not suggesting you took the information from Le Defi Mark Ten International in the mainspace of wikipedia but from a page on my namespace (User:Kwib/Hjalti Arnason) where only the day before (12:39, 26 September 2010) I had begun to create an article on Hjalti Arnason. You can see from that page the similarity of the infobox I had begun to put together with that which you placed in the brand new Hjalti Arnason page that you created just 12 hours after (01:07, 27 September 2010). The similarity of what I had done combined with the close proximity in time of me creating it and you creating the Hjalti Arnason led me to that conclusion. From what you have said it seems that it was a pure coincedence.Kwib (talk) 07:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)"

Thanks for the clarification on that, I totally misunderstood you and thought you meant that I got his contest results forom the other page. I had no idea that you were in the process of creating the page at the same time I was. I dont even know how to access that type of info on other user's pages anyways, but I can see how it looked rather suspicious on your end. What a strange coincidence that 2 people were creating a page for an obscure strength athelete at the same time, pretty funny stuff. I like the additions you made adding stuff from the "Sons of Samson vol. 2" book which is one of my favorite strongman books. Do you know where you can find volume 1?

If he is so notable, why does he not have any Wikipedia article yet? I have been trying to encourage the user who originally inserted him and seems to be a relation to write an article about him. Perhaps you would care to write an article about this notable person? Dabbler (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I had never heard of him, apparently he went by the name of Sir Hilton Poynton and there is a Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article about him. Perhaps that my be a good place to start. However, I don't have access and as a non-resident in the UK I don't feel very suitable. Dabbler (talk) 20:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Richmond County School for Boys
Hi Kwib. I note (blame Google) that you have some good content at User:Kwib/Richmond County School for Boys which could usefully be merged into what is now the Richmond Park Academy article if you have the time and inclination. The article is now becoming a collation about all the institutions that have existed on the Park Avenue/Hertford Avenue sites so would benefit from your additions and improvements.

Out of curiosity, do you know where in Kew Road the original School was located? Thanks -- KenBailey (talk) 22:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the answer: 51.4666°N, -0.2969°W. I coincidentally found it today, before reading your ref (and kicked myself - having been past it a million times). Now converted to flats and called Bishops Court. The ornate 1895 is visible above the doorway on Google Streetview. I took a few photos, including one of the commemorative plaque on the south wing which I might upload provided it remains legible. KenBailey (talk) 23:37, 5 May 2011 (UTC)



1871 rugby international
Hi Kwib. I see you have been working on the early rugby internationals. I have also been trying to complete the identification of the Scotland players in 1871 and we could perhaps compare notes. For example, I have more details of W Forsyth and JLH McFarlane. Also, not sure about Robert Munro as there were two such students at St Andrews at that time. Kvaratschelia (talk) 18:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC) Probably the best thing is to exchange info by email, although one of the frustrating things about Wikipedia is that it is not possible to contact people direct.

Bill Pittuck and BSM
Hi, I can understand where you are coming from with only wanting to show top 3 for smaller shows but here is my reasoning for doing it. I feel that the competition history should be as thorough as possible for national and international level competitions, in order to provide as much relevent information about that particular athlete's contest history as possible.

I feel that BSM is a major national level contest that was run on a high quality professional level and was broadcast on television all over the world from 1999-2008 and I feel that this makes the contest worthy of listing lower level placings. If it were something like "Minnesota's Strongest Man" and the athlete finished in 10th place, that would clearly not be something that would need to be listed in their competition history. I usually apply this logic to all pages that I update, strictly for major national level and international contests. Hope that makes sense, thanks for bringing this to my attention.Strongmantom (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of World Rugby Museum Wall of Fame


A tag has been placed on World Rugby Museum Wall of Fame requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Koji Ogata (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Koji Ogata (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Koji Ogata (disambiguation)


The article Koji Ogata (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * WP:2DABS - no need for this page, hatnote would save time for readers

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Broughton RUFC, and Broughton Rangers and their notable players…
Hi Kwib, our paths haven't really crossed since a merger into the John Lawrence Hickson article back in February 2011… 4½ years where does the time go? Anyhow, my query this time is regarding Broughton RUFC, and Broughton Rangers and their notable players. An article on espn.co.uk entitled 'Stones roll but Moss remains a mystery' agrees with you, and has F. Moss at Broughton RUFC, you also have C. M. Sawyer and J. H. Payne at Broughton RUFC. However, the Broughton Rangers article also lays claim to C. M. Sawyer, J. H. Payne, and F. Moss, but I suspect you're correct and that the players for these two different clubs in the same suburb of Broughton, Salford have been (**possible made-up word alert**) co-transposed, probably by me. My question is would you know whether the England internationals; Arthur Royle, Robert Seddon, and Alfred Teggin actually played rugby union for England while at Broughton Rangers, or Broughton RUFC? Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Glasgow Academicals RFC


A tag has been placed on Glasgow Academicals RFC requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.glasgowacciesrfc.com/sample-page/club-history/ https://web.archive.org/web/20070828190227/http://www.accies.ukf.net/Rugby/history.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:ProgrammeApril1986LionsVsTheRestRugby.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:ProgrammeApril1986LionsVsTheRestRugby.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Cor Herkströter

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/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:07, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

January 2023
An article you recently created, Edward Fraser (rugby union), is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thanks. Silikonz 💬 17:01, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Please make sure the articles you create don't fail WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. One notable source with only statistics does not guarantee notability. You may also consider creating articles in the draftspace, then publishing when they are to standard. Thanks! Silikonz 💬 17:12, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I didn’t see these comments before shifting a couple of articles back to main space. Apologies. I created these articles as stubs to work on over the coming weekend. Happy for them to be draft of that is the way of working now. On a related note as per your message, you mention notability criteria. I assume you are referring to currently only citing one source currently rather than the intrinsic notability of playing for the national side of a major sport. Kwib (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Almost nothing is inherently notable (see WP:NRVE). Verifiable sources are still key — the notability guidelines take precedence. If you're planning to make large changes in mainspace to an unfinished article, you may consider applying In use or Under construction to the page. Silikonz 💬 18:11, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
