Hello there, I'm just writing to thank you for the information that your work over the years as provided for my Wikipedia articles on Canadian soccer. It is extremely difficult to locate any valuable information and reliable sources on Canadian soccer clubs especially at the lower club levels. I really appreciate your soccer reports on the Canadian Soccer League, and the Toronto Lynx, it would have been almost impossible or difficult to write any articles regarding those clubs; as the information pertaining to Canadian soccer is rather scarce. Anyways I thank you very much and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Shotgun pete (talk) 25 December 2014

Thanks again
Thanks again for your information collected on your website.Your match reports and info are golden and rare. You should compile your work and publish it and sell it to the CSL, CSA or something, the information you contain on your website is scarcely rare to find anywhere else on the internet. I wanted to ask permission if I can use your photos to help illustrate my articles better. All the photos will still be your property and when used credit to your work will be attributed to you. Thanks again for all your hard work. (talk) 28 April 2015

Shotgun pete....I hope you get this message (I'm not sure how to send you a message otherwise). You have my permission to use any photos on my site as long as you give me credit. For the leagues I cover I feel a press pass to the games is reimbursement enough. I expect to mostly cover League 1 Ontario Men's and Women's league this year.

Response
Thanks Mr. Glover, and don't worry I guarantee you I most certainly will credit the photos to your name. Thanks again  (talk) 28 May 2015.

Regarding images
Hello Mr. Glover, Thanks again for all of your information. I have posted some of your images on wikipedia, and I have done what you requested I credited them to you and provided the source. Unfortunately the wikipedia administrators want to see valid prove that you gave me permission to use your images. Basically wikipedia requires that owners make a clear statement that they release the image under a free license. Here is the email template you would have to read and give consent to, and I think you send it to me and I forward it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Here is the link to the email template. I believe it will be under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License which is basically the same thing you requested be crediting the images to the owner. If your interested let me know or have any questions please contact me anytime. Thanks again for your reports and the images you definitively should be inducted in the Hall of Fame as a builder for the sport in Ontario. Thanks again Shotgun pete (talk) 2:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Regarding images
Instead Mr. Glover you have a second option where you can personally upload the images yourself by allowing the public to use your photos. Where the photos will still be credited to you. If you need help in uploading them I would be more than welcomed to instruct you or assist you. Its pretty straight forward once you get the hang of it. Thank you Shotgun pete (talk) 6:09, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't want to go through this for every single picture that 'shotgun pete' wants to use. I'm not even sure of how many he's chosen and I'm sure he'll add to these choices as the months go by.

There's some other examples that he's asked for in my e-mail below.

Editors: My name is Robin Glover and I am known on soccer message boards and my own web page as Rocket Robin. My web page is named Rocket Robin's Soccer in Toronto. It's address is www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com I have over 185 links with Wikipedia for facts related to teams and players who mostly plied their soccer careers in Southern Ontario Canada thanks to the work of poster 'shotgun pete'. He would now like to include pictures from my site to Wikipedia but has been told by your editors that he needs my permission. Thank you.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HE HAS MY PERMISSION TO POST THE PICTURES THAT HE REQUESTS. EXAMPLES THAT HE'S POSTED SO FAR ARE LISTED AS: File: Italia Shooters 2006.jpg File: Oakville Blue Devils championship.jpg File: Brantford Galaxy 2010.jpg

So YES! Let him use these pictures and any others he wants.

I find your whole legal process too confusing to get my message across or I'm sending my permissions to the wrong area.

I also have a feeling someone will lose this message and expect me to type it again! Robin Glover (talk) 03:57, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

The photo you are using for the bio of "David Gee (soccer)"
This is the source of the photo that has been used for the bio of David Gee. Oops! My error. It is actually John Knox, an executive/administrator on the Ontario soccer scene for decades.

I run the website "Rocket Robin's Soccer in Toronto"

I don't think I have an actual photo of David Gee on my webpage. I understand there's been an editing battle between David Gee and the Wikipedia board. I saw David Gee at an awards dinner earlier today and he mentioned the problem. I don't understand the editing process of Wikipedia itself but contributor 'Shotgun Pete' has been adding photos from my site to bios of players/coaches/administrators from the local soccer scene in southern Ontario (Canada). I have changed the captioning of my page to identify the correction.

-- John Knox* presents Defender of Year award to co-winner Robin Rushtin

John Knox* presents Defender of Year award to co-winner Vonya Beckles

was made today on November 12, 2017 after chatting with David Gee at the League 1 Ontario Awards Banquet. This correcton will hopefully convince the Wikipedia editors to correct their bio photo of David Gee. ---
 * I had the presenter identified as David Gee for the last eleven years but this is in fact John Knox. This correction

Thanks for your consideration. Robin Glover

Correcting soccer player's Kiril Dimitrov's birthdate...
Robin Glover (talk) 17:28, 1 October 2018 (UTC)  Can I please get some help here on correcting a birthdate of a soccer player. The person who has the knowledge of editing Wikipedia pages and has an interested in the Southern Ontario soccer scene is 'shotgun pete'....

I did get to talk to Unionville forward Kiril Dimitrov who went to the first city tryouts in Halifax and survived the cuts both days to guarantee a spot at a training camp. (He said he knows which training camp he's invited to but he's not supposed to say so I didn't press him on it). It is not a secret that he is also the player coach of the Scarborough FC in the CSL. He said they had a playoff game yesterday and he said he did not play in it as he said it would be an easy game and they beat the Hamilton team 4-1 without him. He answered me he travelled to Halifax rather than waiting until the trials hit Hamilton and Toronto because that week was the only time he could be away. I said I'd watched him play for Serbian White Eagles for years (well at least until L1O started in 2014). We each agreed that we don't know how much money/budget the league has for salaries. He said he was born in Bulgaria but married a Canadian and has Canadian citizenship.

'''I said I would try to correct his Wikipedia page. They have him as age 37. (ie. January 21, 1981). The L1O gamesheets they give me before the matches have him younger. He confirmed his birthday is January 21, 1985 so he's really 33). I don't know how to amend Wikipedia myself but a guy named 'shutgun pete' and I have an agreement that he can use anything from my webpages.  Wikipedia lists my page as being linked 335 times to their pages.  Wikipedia lists his first CSL game was in 2009 and links with my site.'''  Yikes teammate Marc Jankovic was a teammate then and was an unused sub today for Unionville Milliken.  Jankovic was warming up in a Serbian White Eagles jacket.
