Referencing style
Hi there, thanks for your efforts today adding references to unreferenced articles. However, can you please read and follow a couple of the wikipedia guidelines.


 * 1) The first one is verify. This is an overview as to why we need to verify articles - your work shows that you probably already know or understand most of that.
 * 2) The next one is about reliable sources. In general, published books, newspapers and the like are considered reliable, self-published websites are almost never reliable, related companies or organisations (such as the football club website) are doubtful on their own, and should only be used with other, more reliable sources.
 * 3) The final important guideline is WP:CITE which advises how to put the references in the articles correctly, preferrably inline at the end of a sentence or paragraph (see the section titled A quick how-to), rather than just at the end of the article.

Also, there is no need to update User:DumbBOT/ProdSummary - the Bot will automatically update it every 6 hours. If you need any more help, please ask. Regards, The-Pope (talk) 12:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, I think that a reputable club website is a reliable 3rd party source for the purposes of WP:V. WP:N, of course, depends on what the site and other sources show. If, for example, it shows that someone played on the reserve team only, then that person will not meet the WP:ATHLETE standards, and the article will eventually be deleted for lack of notability  DGG ( talk ) 04:34, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
