Cricket tours
Hi, I've reverted your additions to the template about the TV shows of David Croft - I assume they were an accidental test? With that in mind, I was going to paste the wikitext into a new template, which is what I assume you were intending to do, but isn't Template:International cricket tours of England about the same thing?

Please use informative Edit Summaries
Hi, I was part way through reverting all your edits to It Ain't Half Hot Mum as vandalism before I realised that you had split the article to a subsidiary page. Using clear edit summaries saying what you were doing (particularly on your last edit) would avoid such confusion. Cheers, dramatic (talk) 00:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Moving pages
Hi, you asked if I could move (rename) 1972 England Tour of South Africa and 1973 England Tour of Oceania. You (ro anny looged-in user) can easily do that. In the default (monobook skin) layout of wkipedia pages, there is a tab at the top right with the link "mov" (in the line with article, discusion, edit, history etc. It's a fairly east process, so I'll leave it for you to exlore :-) dramatic (talk) 09:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

England rugby union team matches
I've reverted your edits to List of England national rugby union team matches (1970–present) as you had split up the article with no reason and had taken away the key colours from the table. If you wish to split the page up, please copy the colours with the tables and provide the key. Tholly (talk) 16:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

== May 2008 ==

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Gordon Banks has been reverted. Please do not remove content from pages without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Xp54321 ( Vandals Beware!!!, Contribs ) 19:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Gordon Banks constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Tombomp (talk) 19:57, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was stupid on my part :( It would really really help if you used edit summaries in cases like this where it looks like you're removing information though and in general. --Tombomp (talk) 20:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Gordon Banks. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Xp54321 ( Vandals Beware!!!, Contribs ) 20:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

European championship templates
Hi there. I notice you've made a couple of templates for the England European Championship templates. I believe such templates shouldn't be made per WP:FOOTY policy. I've started a discussion at WT:FOOTY. For the time being, I'd pause with your work - there's no point wasting your time if they would end up being deleted anyway.

ARG/ENG results table
It is clear that this is your preference, but if you wish to build a consensus, you need to present reasons, not just decree that it ought to look like something. As I have said, I'd be happy with that grid after some tweaking, but it has major issues. Can I remind you that comments on talk pages should be signed, and that an edit summary should always be provided (having said that, this post won't have one, because it was set up as a new section).

Portsmouth - Liverpool
OK - penalty takers and captains found and added. I still don't know the timing of Portsmouth's subs, though, nor the exact kits worn in the replay. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 09:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

FA Community Shield
I reverted your most recent edit to FA Community Shield (your other edits to that article looked ok). You added a heading "This Is How It Should Be" - this appears to be your own point of view, so has been removed. Unless you are saying that those were the actual matches that took place, in which case I think you will find numerous reliable sources against you. The existing table is the correct one (of course if you do find any more errors, feel free to correct them). Thanks --Jameboy (talk) 22:40, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
You have moved a load of season pages without any explanation, replacing the dash with a hyphen. Can you explain your reasoning for this, as the manual of style prefers the dash in date ranges? I've seen many bots moving pages in the opposite direction, i.e. replacing the hyphen with a dash, so you may be wasting your time. If you want to put your case forward, I have opened a topic to discuss this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football. --Jameboy (talk) 21:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Page moves
Hi there. I'm not sure why you've decided to move all the seasons in football over the redirect, i.e. 2008–09 in English football to 2008-09 in English football. Although the latter page should exist as a redirect, the former is the correct naming policy I believe. There is also a discussion ongoing at WT:FOOTY. Peanut4 (talk) 21:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Please stop moving season articles to the incorrect name. WP:DASH clearly startes that en dashes (–) should be used "to convey the sense of to or through, particularly in ranges (pp. 211–19, 64–75%, the 1939–45 war, May–November)" and also that "when naming an article, a hyphen is not used as a substitute for an en dash that properly belongs in the title", however "editors should provide a redirect page to such an article, using a hyphen in place of the en dash".
 * Your continued moves against policy are creating extra work for other editors who are having to go back and fix your edits. Please stop. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 17:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Tagging articles
Hi, please be careful when tagging articles with project templates like the England rugby tour articles you tagged. The quality of the articles should conform to the assessment standards agreed to at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. You may also want to have a quick look at WikiProject Rugby union/Assessment. Featured Articles should only be tagged as such if they have succeeded at being promoted at Featured Article Candidates. If you are unsure what rating an article should be tagged with, it may be best to simply leave that blank for another editor to do so. Tagging is great, and is helpful when promoting various WikiProjects, but if done incorrectly can be quite misleading. - Shudde   talk  05:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

1906 Springbok tour of Europe
I've added a comment on Talk:1906 Springbok tour of Europe proposing a reversion to the article's previous title - for consistency with a number of other rugby union tour articles. As you changed it to the current title, I'd be glad of your thoughts on whether it should remain under that title. Thanks.--Bcp67 (talk) 19:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

1979 England RU tour to Japan, Fiji and Tonga
Hi - do you have any information about the venues for the matches on the 1979 England rugby union tour of Japan, Fiji and Tonga The 1980-81 Rothman's annual says that the Japan 'B' game was played under floodlights at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, but there is nothing about any other venues - hope you can help, thanks. --Bcp67 (talk) 20:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with this. I am going to restore the club links on the 1979 tour article as I would prefer to have these in the article - at some point I might add these to the other England tours. --Bcp67 (talk) 19:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Its also useful and a bit easier to use the templates for the national rugby union teams (like ), rather than the version using a piped link. You do some good and useful stuff on rugby union - you ought to add your name to the Wikipedia Project:rugby union and looked at what is on there?? There aren't many people contributing to RU articles at the moment and it would be good if you can add yourself to the project. --Bcp67 (talk) 19:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

1920–1921 in English football
Thanks for your message. This article was flagged up as a blank page and, as consensus is that Wikipedia should not have blank pages, see WP:BLANK, I reverted it. I then see that you appear to have also performed a cut and paste move to 1920–21 in English football, another no-no as it loses the attribution in the history to all the editors who have worked on the text, thus breaching the terms of the GNU license under which all contributions are made. Further, I see that you have made a very large number of page moves without apparently discussing them first (but do correct me if I am wrong). I suggest that you voluntarily refrain from making any more page moves before someone stops you forcibly. I have raise the page moves at Wikiproject Football for input from others if you would like to chip with your comments. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, I'm striking out my message. The feedback I have is that you were acting in good faith, that there's nothing wrong with your moves (just the problem, I think, with 1920-21), so I apologise for leaving this. Please disregard it. I've asked for someone to sort out 1920–1921 in English football and 1920–21 in English football. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, 1920–21 in English football is now all sorted and complete with history. Drop me a line some time if you need help with anything. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I've only just seen your message - I've been offline all weekend. It looks to have been sorted out now. If you spot any problems in future it's probably best to mention them on the Football Wikiproject talk page, that way you'll reach a wider audience and if the fix requires the attention of an admin then you'll probably also attract one there. Also try to avoid copy and paste moves - only move a page using the move function at the top (bearing in mind any naming conventions before you do so of course). Any controversial or potentially problematic moves should be discussed before being moved. — Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 21:11, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Minimum content concerns
Hi. :) The articles tagged above have been deleted under criteria for speedy deletion because they were very short articles providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" sections, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, rephrasings of the title, or attempts to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

You are, of course, welcome to recreate these articles at any point that you may have time to expand them to meet the minimum information standards. If you can't complete them in one go, you're welcome to tag them with inuse or underconstruction to indicate to other editors that they are not finished, but please in that case consider building them one at a time rather than creating a group of articles that do not meet minimum information standards. You can also work in user subspace by creating a personal sandbox as explained here. If you want the ones you've already started restored, I'd be happy to restore them for your further development when you have time to bring them into compliance.

FA Cup Finals in club navboxes
Hi there. A consensus has been reached at WT:FOOTY that FA Cup finals should not be listed in clubs' navboxes, as it gives undue weight to the FA Cup, and to include links to finals that clubs were involved in would take up too much space. Therefore, it would be prudent for you to cease your actions regarding this matter. It's not that we don't appreciate the effort that you're putting in, it could just be better placed, that's all. Cheers. – PeeJay 18:23, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of All Black Tests outside the Main 4 test venues
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of All Black Tests outside the Main 4 test venues, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Paulbrock (talk) 09:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * In response to your comment on my talk page, those pages will all be deleted in a few days, provided that no one removed the PROD templates from the top of the page. I would also suggest that you create one big list of every single All Blacks Test, including ones played at home and overseas. – PeeJay 20:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

All Black tests
Why split the All Black tests article into home and away? If you look at the lists of England matches, they aren't split home and away. Just makes sense to have one single list which would then give the full set of All Blacks matches all in one. The article which is currently being created can be quite easily expanded to cover all All Black tests - you and other people have done a lot of good work on it and it would be a useful article with the extra matches included.

Also, can you "sign" your posts on talk pages please!! You can do this by typing four "tildes" at the end of your post, which is the symbol which shares the # key on UK keyboards, or by clicking on that thing which looks like a signature at the top of the edit page.

How do you know Portsmouth F.C. won the shield I can't find the result. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Hall of England (talk • contribs) 08:58, 21 August 2008


 * I assume you're referring to this edit I made to the 1939-40 in English football page. As I made the edit three years ago, I can't remember where I got the information from. It could well have been the FA Community Shield page, which looked like this at the time and listed Portsmouth as the winners. Having searched around a bit, I can't find any evidence that the Charity Shield was played at all that year, but I did find out that the result listed on the page matches the FA Cup final score of that year, so I presume that someone accidentally added the FA Cup score to the list. This is particularly plausible as the same mistake had been made with the 1946 and 1947 results, which I removed at the time. I note that the 1939 error has since been removed from the FA Community Shield page, but not the 1939-40 in English football page. I have now rectified this. - Green Tentacle (talk) 00:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Aston Villa F.C. seasons
I have replied to you on the talkpage. Regards. Woody (talk) 16:28, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but Chelsea F.C. seasons has not been through a peer-review, be that at Peer-review itself, or the more rigorous featured list candiadacy, which Aston Villa F.C. seasons has been. I have had a look at the other season featured lists and the use of W/R/U is split, some do, some don't, so it is personal preference and upto to individual article contributors preferences. As I wrote it, I used winner as it is easier to work out than a blue W. Regards. Woody (talk) 17:02, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Villa Park
Hi, I have reverted your addition of the FA-Cup semi finals to the Villa Park page. A summary of this is in the other uses section. This was originally in the article, but was removed as a result of the GA Review which recommended its removal. This information is already covered in the FA Cup Semi-finals and there is no need to duplicate it. It has little relevance to the history of Villa Park and its architecture other than that it is the most used stadium in semi-final history, which is listed. Can I also please strongly encourage you to use a sandbox or preview your edits so as to not make mistakes and clog up the article history. Regards. Woody (talk) 14:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Irish rugby union tours
Can't exactly see what you are driving at in asking me to look at the tours pages and find out what's wrong. Is it something specific you're concerned about? The articles themselves look very reasonable and are a similar pattern to the articles which you started on England RU tours. If you could give me an idea of what you are after I'll be happy to comment. Thanks.--Bcp67 (talk) 18:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it the orphaned tags which are the problem? Someone has tagged some of the articles as orphaned because no other articles link to them. You need to find maybe players or management who are involved with the tours and work something into their articles, linking to the tour. Have a look at a couple of revisions which I have made to Ollie Campbell and Tony Ward which will give you a lead on how to "un-orphan" the tours! --Bcp67 (talk) 19:16, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your message. When you say that you think there are mistakes, what have you got in mind? I can't just look through them generally - I'd need to have a clue where to start. I did have a brief look through and most of them look reasonably solid enough with no glaring mistakes standing out. I changed one of the tour venues in 1981 according to a printed reference, but you subsequently changed it according to a website, which is fair enough. Apart from that, I need a lead on what to look for. Also, can you please sign your posts on talk pages!! There are several sets of advice on how to do this scattered across your talk page. Thanks--Bcp67 (talk) 19:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK I see you've started adding personnel to various tours. I'll gladly look through them once you've completed and put all the links in place. Personally I prefer full names now rather than names and initials, and I've also come over to linking all instances of a club rather than just the first but I'm not too dogmatic about it. Good work anyway. What are your sources for the articles?--Bcp67 (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

1947-48 Wallaby tour of England, France and the USA
Mr Hall, if you're up for another colloboration such as we brilliantly did on the 1927-28 Waratahs Tour then I'll get cracking on 1947-48 Wallaby tour of England, France and the USA. Do you want to do the squad table and the tour match list ? I'll happily write the stories, add the colour and find some pics. What do you say ?- Sticks  66  12:36, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You don't do talk ? - Sticks  66  12:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No hurry. No pressure. Just wanted to know you if you're up for it. - Sticks  66  10:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I've changed the title of this article back to what it was this morning. The article has a talk page which is there for discussion of page moves before reaching a consensus, which is exactly what happened with the article if you care to read it (I know you treat talk pages as a type of sandbox, but in fact they aren't, they are actually a page for discussion about the article, see WP:TP). Not only did you move it on the basis "it sounds better", which is hardly rational, but you also failed to move the redirects, which leads to double redirects - when you do page moves, you need to check the redirects created and eliminate any doubles. If you want to suggest an alternative name for the tour, go the talk page and make a case for it which we can discuss. Thanks.--Bcp67 (talk) 18:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

South African Tours
If you've noticed, much of the information I add is from a Welsh perspective. Which is fine from my view point as at present that's all I tend to focus on, but my Bible for the South Africa / Wales connection is "Springboks in Wales" by John Billot (1974). Found it in an old bookshop in South Wales. This is why I fill in all the info for the Welsh teams and then leave the rest of the nations with very little info, the book doesn't hold the info for the rest. Scrum.com will give the players and scorers for the main games, but I'm hoping there are books out there from an England, Scotland and Ireland perspective to complete the articles.

American (etc.) Academy Award Winners
It doesn't seem useful to have separate articles for each nationality of award winner. The category might make sense. Why do you see them as necessary? (John User:Jwy talk) 19:14, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You don't explain why different lists are necessary (and I'm not sure what links you are saying are wrong). One article with a table with a column for nationality would suffice.  Even better, a category for each country would provide the same information.  Unless there is going to be extensive information on the page beyond the information of the winners, it doesn't seem useful. (John User:Jwy talk) 19:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Explanation of play-off page moves
When you move a page, please could you always complete the edit summary, to let other users know your rationale for making the page move? Regarding the play-off final page moves, there was previously a consensus for the format to be of the form 2007 Football League Championship play-off final, but I see your point about capitalising "Final" as per 2007 FA Cup Final and 2007 Football League Cup Final, so I think it is worth discussing again. I intend to raise a discussion shortly at WT:FOOTY in order to agree a naming convention once and for all for play-off final articles. Please can I ask you to contribute to this discussion and not to make any further play-off page moves until a consensus is reached? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 14:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I should first ask why those articles need the Man Utd template adding to them. None of them have anything to do with Man Utd, so that doesn't make sense.

Alternate version of AVFC seasons
Hi, I've removed your alternate version of the Aston Villa seasons list from Talk:Aston Villa F.C. seasons, because the Talk page is for discussion about improving the article, not for maintaining 28kB-worth of alternate version of it. It is now temporarily in my userspace, at User:Struway2/AVFCSeasons. You are welcome to move that page into your userspace, or if you don't need it any more, or if you haven't moved it after a few days, I'll request it be deleted. Even after deletion it would still be extractable from the page history of Talk:Aston Villa F.C. seasons. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

MCFC seasons
Why have you removed the war league info from Manchester City F.C. seasons? Also I'm pretty certain rowspans shouldn't be used for divisions, as it means that frequently the division is not visible on screen. Oldelpaso (talk) 22:50, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It is verified by the definitive statistical source on the club, and the differing status of the war leagues was clearly marked. The list is a featured list, during its nomination and preceding peer review the format which included war seasons was not brought into question. Putting gold and silver introduces accessibility issues, and loses the information about promotions. Oldelpaso (talk) 12:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Mr Hall I very much appreciate you showing me this and seeking my opinion. What a lot of work this was for you. My own preference I must say is for the horizontal small font team list as currently on the article - that's primarily because I am always one who will favour copy and text and the story that's told by a match report that I am for lists of information. I like the small font because the team list therefore doesn't dominate the page and each match line-up is dealt with overall in four lines. The match reports already have some "list" section in the score detail and the venue, attendance and referee detail to the right. So my vote would be against extending each match report by 21 lines, which would of course extend the article by 84 list lines. However I see no reason why the state of birth flags couldn't be included as another column in the touring squad table. Regarding the positions played - my own view is that this is superfluous since the team list left to right is always in strict a positional order that enables a knowledgeable rugby reader to deduce the position of the the starting 15 at least. Though I recognise this view could be challenged.However if you feel strongly about the proposal why don't you submit it for a vote on the page Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_union ? Or if you would like, I could submit it and get some views. Let me know if you would like me to do that. Rgds - Sticks  66  12:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

History of rugby union matches between Argentina and New Zealand
Hi, I don't quite understand your additions to History of rugby union matches between Argentina and New Zealand - are these games where NZ did not award test caps, or does my reference not go far back enough? (I'm beginning to suspect this in some cases). If so, do you have an alternative reference? dramatic (talk) 00:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll add them to the table with a note, but I'm having difficulty understanding the scores (too many numbers!). We should cite a source for these if you have one. dramatic (talk) 21:16, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Mid-Norfolk Railway
I agree that there is confusion here, which is why I've asked for some additional input.

The episode seems frequently referred to as being called "Sand Trap", as well as "A Fishy Return" - both of which titles can be sourced through the internet (as is the case with the currently restored version which I restored purely as it is web sourced). As there appears conflicted information on the title, I'm moving towards dumping the title of the episode from the MNR entry's section as it is not really required in this context; perhaps leaving just the series and episode number. Neither title seems to be displayed on the actual program. DiverScout (talk) 17:01, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Is there any point in having a specific article for Lions games in New Zealand?

1963 League Cup Final
And the 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 League Cup Final articles have the other format... The point is, we're writing these articles for the general reader to read. It's a lot easier for people to read if the information isn't cramped up into tables with small font size. And it's a lot easier to understand if each round for the first club is on the same line as that same round for the other club. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:12, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Move of 1984 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland
Hi I was wondering the reason behind changing the name. The new name does not make sense as British Isles includes Ireland. Either the previous name should stand or it should be 1984 Australia rugby union tour of the British Isles. noq (talk) 14:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you also check for redirects when you move a page name. You ought to fix any pages which link to the moved page - particularly double redirects where a page has been moved previously; a redirect should never link to another redirect.--Bcp67 (talk) 07:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

In general terms too I think there are too many page moves on these rugby tour articles. You need to find a page name policy which is acceptable, maybe by discussion on WP:RU, and then stick with it.--Bcp67 (talk) 07:54, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you please respond to why you changed the article name of this and others to use the incorrect form British Isles and Ireland? As stated above it simply does not make sense and should either be "Britain and Ireland" or "British Isles" not a compound of the two. It makes no more sense than saying "Britain and Scotland".
 * Because the New Zealand tours have the British Isles and Ireland. Mr Hall of England (talk) 20:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Those articles are named wrong then. The geographic area the British Isles includes the island of Ireland, the original article name is more correct than the one you changed it to. noq (talk) 06:56, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going ask for a discussion on this on the project discussion page to (hopefully!) try to establish some sort of policy.--Bcp67 (talk) 07:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * We've also now got 1966-67 Australia rugby union tour of the Britain Isles, Ireland and France.  Britain Isles???? --Bcp67 (talk) 07:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to move these articles back as they are completely incorrect naming. British Isles (like it or not as some may do) includes Ireland. Naming it British Isles and Ireland is completely incorrect phraseology and tautological. Just because the New Zealand tours made an error, doesn't mean we should propogate it. And Britain Isles? Both articles moved to Britain and Ireland. Canterbury Tail  talk  19:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Cut and paste moves
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give War Medal 1939–1945 a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Woody (talk) 22:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You appear to have done this with the Dad's Army template as well. This should not happen, as it goes against the licencing of the site. You should use the move button instead, which retains the history. Bob talk 09:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Filmographies 2
Actually, we don't make articles as tributes. Spinning off a second page is based on page size and need and is decided by discussion and consensus on the main article talk page. Hepburn's main article is 41kb, with the filmography page at less than 15kb, so there is no compelling reason based on article size that would compell the filmography to be spun off - the entire article would come in at less than 60kb and that is adequate. Thus, I'm not convinced Hepburn's filmography should be on a separate page, and that is something that WP:ACTOR will be addressing in the near future - for all spin off filmographies, not just Hepburn's. However, Hepburn's was spun off before the filmography was tabled. Spencer Tracy's filmography was not tabled on the main page until January 2009, as part of WP:ACTOR's ongoing drive to get all Academy Award winners' filmographies tabled. Even with the tabled filmography, Tracy's article is only 23kb, woefully less than average for major film stars. Since the filmography already exists, there is really no valid reason to create a separate page that also tables the filmography. If it were removed from the main article, the article would be even smaller. What Tracy's article truly needs is expansion in the text area, to fill out details of his career. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:05, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Please see Talk:Spencer Tracy regarding the removal of the filmography from the main article and discussion regarding no need for spinning the filmography into a separate article. Please take no further action regarding this filmography until discussion has concluded. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Leicester 92, 93, 94 First Division Play-Offs
Yeah, I tried to do a couple of weeks a go when I made the 96 play-off final page. I couldn't find any sources, I got lucky with 1 newspaper article to the 1996 Play-Off final, but on 92-94 I could only do what I know, which is mainly the results and general ebb of the games. I suppose i could dig out my dad's old VHS's on those seasons as a source but it won't be for a couple of weeks. I might be able to do a little on the 94 Play-Off final though, about the iconography off it. Basically there's a picture of Steve Walssh called "The Silence of the Rams" which is basically Leicester's equivilent of "Tardelli's Scream." Such an iconic image that it's currently blown up to 20ft on the outside of The Walkers' Stadium. So I'll do a bit about that later. --MIR17 (talk) 14:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I added the two kits, but because the infobox became much bigger the results table became distorted so I moved the final league table above the results so the page stays looking as good as it does, cheers Prem4eva (talk) 20:03, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * What don't you get about the goal scorers? Can you explain more? Govvy (talk) 20:12, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Well it's exactly the same as I have in the book, I just double checked. Govvy (talk) 20:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Academy Awards-only tables
Please stop adding tables that only deal with the Academy Awards that an actor has won or for which he or she received nominations. WP:ACTOR has specifically determined that Academy Awards tables like this are undue weight on one award and are therefore not appropriate. In addition, the table you added to Mickey Rooney titled "Could of been Nominated" was speculative at best. Please work with WP:ACTOR for consistency of articles and not against the project.

Re: your edits to the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup season categories: you should have taken those categories to WP:CfR before unilaterally moving the articles around yourself. – PeeJay 17:13, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

HTFC Stats
Hello, Mr Hall of England.

Sorry that I've been a bit replying, but I'll see if I can improve the details of the matches that you requested.

Incidentally, the reason Town were never in the Charity Shields of 1924, 25 & 26 was because they had been reverted back to an Amateurs XI v Professionals XI, hence we have only been in one Charity Shield Final. JRRobinson (talk) 12:36, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Blank rather than redirect
You blanked England national rugby union team - Results 1990 - 1999 - is there a particular reason why you did that rather than redirect to List of England national rugby union team - Results 1990–1999?--Rumping (talk) 23:09, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Africa Cup of Nations
Check the competition logo, it is called the "Africa Cup of Nations", not the "African Cup of Nations". – PeeJay 16:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, check the competition logos. The competition has been called the Africa Cup of Nations since 2004. Do not move the articles again. – PeeJay 19:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you blind? I said the competition has only been known as the Africa Cup of Nations since 2004, so why did you move all of the other articles too?! – PeeJay 20:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Copyright violations
Mr Hall of England, I have removed the future fixture lists from articles/talk/user talk that you have once again re-added. All future fixtures remain the intellectual property of the respective leagues and as such fall under the copyright of that League. To add these fixtures to Wikipedia is to breach their copyright and is a copyright violation. (See [|this discussion]) Do not re-add these fixture lists or you will be blocked to prevent violations. If you have any questions then please leave them on my talkpage. Thanks, regards, Woody (talk) 18:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

wolves kits
Hi, the kits are up, using, for the 53-54 season, I added the home kit and put the special floodlight kit as "third colours", and for the 57-58, 58-59, and 59-60 seasons, according to that website, the kit went unchanged from 1956-1962 so that's reflected on the pages, hope that helps.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Citizen Kane, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

Season results layout
Hi, this is the template for each result if you click edit you will see the instruction detail:

All should be straightforward enough, the result is obviously either W, D or L and that creates the colour. The report line is simply the BBC url then type Report after it to make that word appear in the box. Any penalty goals would be ⚽ 47' (pen.)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 00:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Deletion nomination of Talk:Russia at the FIFA World Cup
Hi Mr Hall of England, this is a message from an automated bot, regarding Talk:Russia at the FIFA World Cup. You blanked the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per speedy deletion criterion G7. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour. To opt out of these bot messages, add somewhere on your talk page. -- FrescoBot  (msg) 23:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

France rugby tours
Hi - haven't seen you editing much rugby stuff lately, good that you have picked up again. I haven't got a huge amount of time to spare at the moment but I will help where I can. I have a set of Rothmans Rugby Yearbooks from about 1972 to 1998 or so, so if you need info about tours in those years I can give you information but nothing much before that I'm afraid. Have you got anything specific you need at the moment? All the best. --Bcp67 (talk) 18:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do some collaboration with you, if you can start some articles I'll fill in what gaps I can.--Bcp67 (talk) 18:47, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the list. Will probably start with the SA 1980 tour as there were only a few matches!--Bcp67 (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I always get those dashes between the score wrong! Which one should I use?--Bcp67 (talk) 06:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't be of any help with your request. I'm from Argentina, that's right, but I don't know anything about rugby. I'm hardly even aware that's there rugby in the country to begin with. I know that in other countries it's a very popular sport, such as in the US, but here in Argentina that role (the sport played at both leagues and high school, watched by multitudes, and whose results is almost a mandatory discussion topic at social meetings) is taken by association football (simply "football" locally) MBelgrano (talk) 16:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
