Hi Matty,

Would you mind taking a look and chiming in on who's who?

Speedy deletion nomination of Teresa Pearce
A tag has been placed on Teresa Pearce requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Request / Opinion
Hi there MATTY, VASCO from Portugal here, longtime no "see",

About João Pedro Pereira Silva, a request: please don't remove again the ZEROZEROFOOTBALL.COM link, i think it's most pertinent, because it's a Portuguese link to a Portuguese player. My list is as follows, for sites/players (Portugal - Zerozero.pt (being that Zerozerofootball.com is the English version of the site) and Foradejogo.net; Spain - Bdfutbol.com; Germany - Fussballdaten.de; France - Lequipe.fr; i suppose the most "savvy" in the case of English footballers is soccerbase.com).

Done with the request, here's the opinion: i think that there is no need (for now) for a section INT.CAREER for this player, which contains one sentence which says the same that box (played twice for U-20, now i added some more national team stuff per LINK#3). However, should you choose to reinstate it again, fine, i won't revert it back.

Second part done too! To finish the stuff about JPP SILVA, one more thing: how about the level of vandalism on a player that i bet few people knew about in England four months ago (and maybe Portugal too, i am one of those)? Simply pathetic, can't find an appropriate name for these lowlifes, even if they are 15, 16...Pathetic.

Nothing more, for the moment, keep up the good work, sorry for any incoveniences, and enjoy the World Cup!! - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Wow, no reply, although User:Matthew hk, a chap who adds a lot of refs, i'll have to admit, but is also never friendly (has accused several folks of vandalism - me included - and then of course the truth surfaced, and he never apologized - to me included), did get an answer.

Joe Hart as new England goalkeeper during the World Cup 2010
Dear Matty,

While my observations on the current (Jun-14th) state of goalkeeping in the squad that England has taken to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup may me offensive to you personally. I do not believe that you have the 'right' (just because you are No 147 in edits in Wikipedia!) to completely disregard them.

Can I remind you of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution

This page in a nutshell: Resolve disputes calmly, through civil discussion and consensus-building on relevant discussion pages. There are several available options to request opinions from editors outside the dispute. Other dispute resolution mechanisms include mediation or, after all other methods have been tried, arbitration.

Also please remember that Wikipedia is not about winning.

Please refrain from deleting my comments entirely.

Yours sincerely

Yep, I'm certain he's still at Vancouver. He played (and scored) yesterday against Austin - http://ussf.demosphere.com/stats/2010/1634203.html - and he's still on the official rosters at http://ussf.demosphere.com/Teams/20945465/20945490-20952154/TEAM.html and http://www.whitecapsfc.com/men/roster/default.aspx. His bio on the Vancouver site says he's available until June 16th (http://www.whitecapsfc.com/men/roster/players/marcus_haber.aspx), which means he will likely be playing in Vancouver's game against Puerto Rico on Wednesday, and *that* will be his final game. --JonBroxton (talk) 22:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. If you have time, would you consider adding some information about Stephen Spargo's time at York City in the 1932–33 season.

No worries if you aren't interested. Cheers, Big  Dom  18:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cheers for the extra info. In an ideal world, I would try and get some of the articles to GA or better, but the sources just don't exist. It's a shame really because I'm sure some of them wil have had interesting careers but short of writing an account of every single game they played in I don't know how to expand them any further.

Christian Nzinga
Hi Matty. Playerhistory here

Has anyone verified the profile of Christian Nzinga? All senior club except last two are fake. He did play for Finnsnes but only appeared 3 times with no goals. I have all the match reports from that league. AC St. Louis is also correct, but not sure of the appearances. He was released by AC St Louis last tuesday. He has never played any games for Cercle Brugge, at same time as Cercle is mentioned here we found track of him in KSK Maldegem in Belgium. They play on level 4. He didn't appear any matches for them. He played for reserve team of Saabrucken, never played for Marbella. When he signed for Finnsnes the Norwegian FA got his international clearance from a small club in Italy USD Sorianese as amateur. The Norwegian FA has confirmed it for me by phone. Hope you have a look into it

Just seen that York have signed Duane Courtney. Ouch. There's a reason he only played a handful of games at Burnley, take that from someone who had the misfortune to see him play. Nevertheless, what I'm really here to say is that I'll do the GA review in the morning. After a cursory glance, it looks pretty much there so there shouldn't be too much work to do.

I reinstated him once, but you subsequently accepted an edit that removed him again. If he has left, I's have thought the change should at least cite a reliable source.

Hull City player list article under discussion at Hull City talk page
Hi Matty,

An editor recently added a Notable Players section to the Hull City article. It's good raw information but was poorly sourced and formatted. A discussion started on the article talk page about formatting and sourcing the data and moving it to its own article, like many other club player lists. Keith D noted that you have one of the books we might use as a reference. Anyway, I just wanted to make you aware of the discussion; please feel free to chime in if you like. Cheers, Northumbrian (talk) 14:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Levi Mackin on hold
The article Levi Mackin you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. I haven't failed it because it's basically a good article, but there are some problems that need to be addressed. See Talk:Levi Mackin/GA1 for things needing to be addressed. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 05:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Passed. Good work. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 08:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

FC Barcelona
Being a regular contributor I thought you would like to know that FC Barcelona is currently at FAC with 1 support, but could do with more reviews. See Featured article candidates/FC Barcelona/archive3. Cheers, Sandman888 (talk) 08:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Sunderland A.F.C. is an English association football club based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear that competes in the Premier League. Since its formation in 1879, the club has won six First Division titles—in 1892, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1913, and 1936 and the FA Cup twice, in 1937 and 1973 (see Sunderland A.F.C. seasons). The club was founded by schoolteacher James Allan and was elected into The Football League in 1890 where the team performed well in the league, earning plaudits such as a "wonderfully fine team". The Sunderland team won their first FA Cup in 1937 with a 3–1 victory over Preston North End, and remained in the top league for 68 successive seasons, losing the record to Arsenal when they were relegated in 1958. Sunderland's most notable trophy win after the Second World War was their second FA Cup in 1973, when the club secured a 1–0 victory over Leeds United. The team has won the second tier title 5 times in that period and the third tier title once. Sunderland play their home games at the 49,000 capacity all-seater Stadium of light having moved from Roker Park in 1997. The original ground capacity was 42,000 which was increased to 49,000 following redevelopment in 2000. Sunderland have a long-standing rivalry with their neighbouring club Newcastle United, with whom they have contested the Tyne–Wear derby since 1898. (more...)
