Maceo Rigters
I've undone the changes you made to Maceo Rigters entry on the Blackburn Rovers FC page. He is listed on www.rovers.co.uk as a first team player, not a reserve team player, therefore there was no reason to move him from one section to another.

 * Reply by RoverTheBendInSussex... The reason i have put him in the Reserves section is, as you can see on the Rovers website, he has not got a 1st team shirt number. Also add to this fact, he has been told to look for a new club, and has also got about 6 players ahead of him in his starting position. The chances of him getting a place in the starting XI are about nil. Add to this further that he spent most of last season in the Reserves or out on loan. Bearing in mind the additions we made this summer/season, and his apparent falling out with the club, i think it was fair to put him in the Reserves.

Caster Semenya
As you may or may not have noticed, all of your edits to Caster Semenya were basically reverted and the article protected as a result of changes like yours and previous similar ones. I presume you must have missed the two hidden comments, one mentioning not to change the female gender pronoun and the other to add speculation, without discussing it on the talk page first. Given this and particularly since you are apparently heavily involved in editing biographies, I would strongly suggest you read WP:BLP and bear it in mind in the future and also make sure you check out the talk page first when making edits to articles which are likely to be controversial or which effectively make a substantial change to the article (and yes, changing the pronoun is a substantial change) Nil Einne (talk) 14:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply by RoverTheBendInSussex... Testing on the person in question has prooved that she/he has got no female woomb/ovaries and has in fact got a penis and testicals, as a result. Her/his sex can not be defined. This is why i corrected her/his profile in such a manner, i also added a reference showing these facts.RoverTheBendInSussex (talk) 17:00, 16 September 2009 ((UTC)
 * We don't know what testing has shown, as no one involved in the testing has confirmed what the testing has shown. There have been alleged leaks which is quite a different thing. Also, regardless of what the testing has shown, use of the female pronoun is proper per policy particularly MOS:IDENTITY. This is all discussed in the article talk page before your changes, as I mentioned above. As I also mentioned above it is highly imperative you do follow policy particularly WP:BLP. If you still think your changes were appropriate I suggest you read the article talk page and policy carefully because they were not per the consensus of multiple editors (particularly the female pronoun part). Also since you are heavily involved in BLP related articles, do note if you continually ignore/violate policy whether in the article about her or anyone else, there's a good chance you will be blocked.

 * Reply by RoverTheBendInSussex... As i have already said. I referenced my comments and even if his/her sex is unconfirmed, the article should be left open-minded. Ie, the person in question can be considered a he or a she (he/she).RoverTheBendInSussex (talk) 12:51, 19 September 2009 ((UTC)

The Dell (Falmouth)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Dell (Falmouth), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Falmouth Town railway station. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Reply by RoverTheBendInSussex... Hello. The term 'The Dell' is also the alternate name of 'Falmouth Town railway station' although i do not know how to add a forward to article link for this article. If a link to 'Falmouth Town railway station' could be added to the page 'The Dell (Falmouth)' instead of a duplicate page being present, it would be immensly helpful. I look up the station via 'The Dell (Falmouth)' as i am sure others do. So it would make searches easier if this term was added as a alternate title for the article.RoverTheBendInSussex (talk) 13:38, 22 September 2009 ((UTC)


 * I've fixed this issue. To redirect an article from one title to another create the new article page and then type #REDIRECT Name of article you want the title to redirect to in the article space. Mjroots (talk) 12:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Phil Jones
The article did need a clean-up. Infoboxes are for league games only, plenty of players who have not played league games and have zeroes in their infobox don't get deleted. Dates should not be linked as per MOS:DATE. Jones has not played in the Premier League (yet), so that category was removed - add it at a later date when he does. I also added a reference, which helps assert notability. I delinked the repition of Blackburn Rovers as per WP:OVERLINKING and removed journalistic language as this is unencyclopedic. Most of the other changes were minor gnoming changes with templates, capital letters etc. I will now remove the bit about putting in a "man of the match" performance as this is your point of view - if anyone i.e. Allardyce, a writer praised his performance, add a reference to it (like the BBC one) and include it. Cheers, hope this helps. --Jimbo[online] 23:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
