User talk:RossBFD

February 2019
Hello, I'm Nzd. Welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Andrew Nelson (footballer) were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the club-update or pcupdate parameter for club stats, or the nationalteam-update or ntupdate parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes, or for MDY dates, use mdytime. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Nzd   (talk)  23:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

2013–14 Dundee F.C. season moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2013–14 Dundee F.C. season, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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 and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks for your work on the kits - any chance you could create a custom kit for Clydebank F.C., as the wiki kit options only have a basic centre vertical red line available? Boothy m (talk) 21:48, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Re-Scottish kits - A thank you
Just want to repeat these sentiments. Your work is amazing and much appreciated especially in non-league. I have one or two requests if possible. Caledonian Braves full kits are out (white and navy) and Vale of Leithen (Lowland League) have a new home kit.

Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Nicholas Hamilton (footballer)


The article Nicholas Hamilton (footballer) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:20, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

The player is about to join a team in a fully professional league, which is the reason I felt it was appropriate to create the article now. Rossbatchelor (talk) 15:22, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Chances are he will play for Dundee but he's not considered notable until he makes an appearance in at least one Scottish Championship match (and even then there are arguments that he wouldn't meet the notability critera). I if were you I'd just grab a copy of the page details and then re-create the article once he meets the notability criteria. Oh, also, just FYI but the Scottish Championship isn't fully professional as Alloa and Arbroath are both wee teams part-time/semi-professional :P I'd also be tempted to call Raith a wee team but they might have something to say about that!!! XD Have a great day! :) Exxy (talk) 14:11, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Corey Panter


A tag has been placed on Corey Panter requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Corey Panter.

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.

Dundee season article
Hello,

Hope you are well,

Just wondering why you undid my edit to the Dundee season article for next season. Happy to discuss.

Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 23:18, 15 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Stevie,
 * I hope the undoing of the edit does not come across as intending to cause confrontation as that is definitely not the case. I wish to try and maintain consistency between Dundee seasons as previous seasons also use the same format. To a lesser extent, it is also simply a matter of personal preference for me, as I prefer the collapsible box format to the table format.
 * I appreciate the efforts to standardise most of the Scottish football season pages and understand the reasoning of the guidelines behind it. As someone who has worked largely unaided on Dundee's season pages for years without any complaint about the formatting however, I would prefer to continue the format which I have established over several years and pages, as well as the fact that there are plenty other and bigger football season pages which utilise the same system I do with little complaint. This is all in good faith and I hope you understand my desire to keep consistency in my own way, as I appreciate your good work in various places around the other season pages.
 * Thank you for being understanding! RossBFD (talk) 00:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. It's just BRD so I understand. I understand what you are saying as well. My only rationale for the edit was to improve the quality of Scottish club season articles by helping them meet MOS:ACCESS (basically, the collapsible football box doesn't work with screen readers in the way it should) (as an aside, the footballbox renders as a table so technically whichever format is used it is a table format). What I don't want to do is come in and ruin Wikipedia for you or the all the work you've done on the Dundee articles. It would be nice if the format which has become fairly widespread met Wikipedia's policies and guidelines but, for whatever reason, that's not the case. Wikipedia is not and will never be finished so this is maybe one of those tasks that will take a long time to complete, if it ever is.
 * I would like to work with you and make these articles more accessible if possible. I'll respect your position though. I'm always happy to discuss further too. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Player Images
Hi there Ross,

I'm a member of the media team at Dundee FC and I can see you're a frequent editor of the club's wikipedia page. A personal project I'm wanting to work on over the close season was adding/updating photos for the players from last season's profiles, using images I've taken myself.

I've added the following images, however, I'm not certain I understand how to add them to the pages correctly. I've uploaded them onto wikimedia commons, and have tried updating Aaron Donnelly's page 1st. I've managed to add the photo, but it seems much larger than what it should be.

If you have experience with this, I can send you the photos for you to add to the pages, if you're able to help? Here's the ones I've uploaded so far:

Matthew Wright Nairn County
Hi Ross BFD, I was wondering what your source was for Matthew Wrights move to Nairn County? 2A02:C7F:C28:2F00:F7BC:FC3B:F568:E542 (talk) 20:39, 13 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I did not make any edit regarding Wright joining Nairn County, though I had made the previous club status update edits for his prior stints at Elgin City and Brechin City. The edit regarding his move to Nairn was done by an anonymous user later on. RossBFD (talk) 01:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
