Barça C
I had to get on Raymond because he has been sleeping at the wheel lately. In his edit for Barcelona C he said that the team was playing in the 1ª División Catalana eventhough the article states that the team was disbanded with a reference to a Marca article. Apparently, that decision sent a shockwave around Spain. I just hope that if Madrid C were to be relegated, the team would be allowed to fight its way back to the Tercera!

Cordial invitation
Hi, I have noticled that you have made a number of "good" edits to Argentine football related articles. I have also noted your stance on transfers in/out sections on the Wikiproject:Football talk page, and I fully agree with your piont of view. I was wondering if you would like to join us at WikiProject Argentine football, any contributions would be greatly appreciated as there are not many of us at the moment. Kindest regards, King of the North East 19:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be very glad to join WikiProject Argentine football. I was actually thinking of asking to join even before your invitation. The problem is that I don't understand much Spanish, so I was wondering if you new of were to find English news on Argentine football? As for WikiProject Argentine football I was thinking of going through the squad lists and updating the squad templates. Best regards, Sebisthlm 19:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Have a look at the links at the bottom of the WP:ArF page, they should be helpful. I went through and updated the squads + templates a few weeks ago, I was waiting for the close of the transfer window before doing it again, but feel free to have a go at them. There is a table to keep updated on the project page, I will hopefully get a bot to update it automatically one day, I'll have to learn how to run a bot first though! Don't worry too much about the spanish language problem, with a few words you can go a long way, here are a few basic tips:

regards.King of the North East 20:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * plantel=squad
 * jugador=player
 * altura=height
 * fecha nacimiento=date of birth
 * lugar nacimiento=place of birth
 * equipo=team
 * defensor=DF
 * arquero=GK
 * volante=MF

 * partido(s)=game(s)
 * director tecnico (DT)=manager

¿The best English site for news about Spanish football?
When you find one, let me know! LOL! The one I go to but the info isn't update frequently is soccer-spain. Found out about Barça C by accident. I was just surfing when all of a sudden, a search page popped up with the demise of Barcelona C, but I do not remember the site that reported the news. Ciao Raul17 06:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Molinaro
Hello, you recently added a disambiguation note to Édouard Molinaro leading to Cristian Molinaro. I think you did this because Molinaro was a redirect to Édouard. However, as a surname, it would be better to change the redirect into a disambiguation page for people with that surname. You can do that by clicking the link right below the title that says "redirected from XXXX," which will take you to the page that is redirected. Then edit that page, following the Disambiguation page manual of style. I made the change for you, you can see how it is done by comparing the history of Molinaro. Hope this helps you if it comes up again in the future. Rigadoun (talk) 18:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but usually with surnames one has to be pretty famous (meaning you would have heard of him) to have their surname redirect to them. Possibly Eduouard is more famous, but he's still not usually referred to by his last name alone, the way (say) Churchill or Mozart are--because they're the first person pretty much anyone would think of first. If you don't think of them first, let alone have heard of them, a disambiguation page is reasonable. Rigadoun (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:FOOTY
Hi Mate, we are staggering towards some kind of consensus at WP:FOOTY, please let us know what you think of the proposed notability criteria, regards King of the North East  (T/C) 00:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Familjen
dear Sebisthlm, thank-you for your thinly-veiled sarcasm, but i feel you are getting your knickers in a knot over nothing. a "notability" tag just alerts people that the article needs more substantiation of its notability. it's not like the article was nominated for deletion or something — what's the problem? perhaps you could avoid this problem when you write new articles in future by assuring that the subject's notability is asserted before posting them. the onus for this is on the creator, after all. regards,  tomasz.  15:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Notability of footballers
Hi, you contributed to the discussion about football notability criteria in November, so you will be delighted/appalled that I have restarted the discussion here. Please give your opinion so that we can move towards formalising the criteria. Regards, King of the  North  East  15:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Soccer Player Stats
Sorry, you posted on my talk like four months agoa dn I am just now replying lol. No, cup statistics don't count toward their stats. Look at the bottom of every stat box and it will say only league games. A lot of people think this and I have to keep fixing it lol. You can include any goals and appearances from cup competitions in the bio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Outsiderdf (talk • contribs) 22:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Archiving Footy
No problem, you weren't the only one last week, we have been having a busy month for deletions so the page can be cluttered. People chop off a few here and there. Anyway, it is simply a matter of copying the link over to the archive. I dump all of the cut text over to the archive and then copy the name on to the piped deletion link. If it is not an afd then include the acronym in the pipe. Then add the result of the discussion in italics after the link and you are set. So an example: TFD:Banana F.C. mascots (delete)

Really not that much to it. We maintain the archives so that editors can gauge previous consensus in deletion discussions when thinking about considering nominating an article. Thanks for helping out!! :) Woody (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem at all, looks good! Thanks again. Woody (talk) 22:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't list the PRODs, don't see the need as there is no benefit to be gained from them by other editors (unless you are an admin). There is no discussion to link to. Regards. Woody (talk) 10:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Associação Académica de Coimbra
Yes, it is indeed a multi-sports club, it is a registered mark with a registered logotype, and is internationally known by its official Portuguese name. Besides its role as a students' union of the University of Coimbra, it manages several sports departments - all called Associação Académica de Coimbra after the parent institution - which compete in some of the major Portuguese national championships and sports leagues. It doesn't make sense naming it in English when all of its departments are refered to as A. Académica de Coimbra.UEFA.com Yodaki (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Rob Davies
Hi, just a couple of points regarding your edit to Rob Davies. Full club names should appear in the infobox, i.e. West Bromwich Albion, not West Bromwich. Also the word loan should not be in italics, according to the Wikipedia Football Project Player Manual of Style. Hope this is useful. Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 19:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You raised some good points there. I must admit that I generally edit English football articles, so I was forgetting that others may have a more global view. But specifically in this case, "West Bromwich" is hardly ever used. "WBA" or "West Brom" may be used, but I much prefer the full version "West Bromwich Albion" wherever possible, and simply "Albion" within article text. "F.C." is not usually used for English clubs, except in the article title. Regards, --Jameboy (talk) 20:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Associação Académica de Coimbra 2
One user did it all wrong after has read your requests and surveys. It's a shame that someone is trying to ruin the work of others just to promote his own stupid, ignorant or biased view about one topic. I know you didn't agree with his actions. I know it isn't your fault but it really pissed me off. I hope someone would be able to revert all the mess he did. Yodaki (talk) 02:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. I agree with your suggestion. It's better than user Shearer's. For him, Real Madrid should be referred to as Royal Madrid. I can't agree with such nonsense. Yodaki (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

About the Coimbra issue
Well, I've seen both WP:RM and the Talk:Coimbra_Academic_Association closure is frankly weird, it's clearly a "no consensus" case, especially noting the irrelevant claim the corresponding university article is placed under an English title (University of Coimbra), as Wikipedia is not based on status quo and nobody proved University of Coimbra is actually the right name for the subject's article. Personally I think an admin should always be non-partisan and avoid complicated interpretations which can hardly be seen as "consensus". However, I suggest you to open a discussion at WP:AN/I in order to start a wider discussion. --Angelo (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Seydou Keita (footballer)
Oh dear, I wish you hadn't made that move - though I understand perfectly why you did. One of the reasons I started making the changes to the various Keita articles this morning was that Seydou Keita (footballer) and Salif Keïta (footballer) are nephew and uncle, respectively, and so I believe their biographical articles ought to be titled in the same manner, i.e. both with or without the diacritical. I understood the elder's name, Salif Keïta - with diacritical - to be his most common variant, so opted to use the diacritical in both. If you prefer Keita without the diacritical, let's move Salif Keïta (footballer) to Salif Keita (footballer)... What do you think? Pinkville (talk) 16:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Senior Football Players
Hi there I've got a problem with an article I wrote where some idiot is deleting it without any consent from other Wikipedians. Any chance you can have a look at this? I'll re-add it tonight at midnight. In my opinion this player merits notability: Fábio Pereira da Silva

He plays for Man United - your thoughts are welcome if the idiot does not delete it again within 5 seconds!

Spanish player names
Hey, thanks for your note concerning the moves on those articles I've created. I understand your questions regarding the use of full Spanish names, but I would be hesitant to change all of the articles to new names because of the common nature of many of the names. Specifically the question of Pedro is an interesting one. FC Barcelona has a player known both as Pedrito and, more commonly now, as Pedro. He's listed as "Pedro Rodríguez" on the FCB squad list, but this is, of course, not how he's referred to commonly by anyone I know in the Barcelona region (this includes the various sporting newspapers, who refer to him exclusively as Pedro). Who, then, gets to be "Pedro (footballer)"? The first one or the more famous one?

As I will continue to create Sporting Gijon player articles, do you suggest a particular way to go about this naming process? I believe that longer names are beneficial in distinguishing who these players are, especially if they have common names, but I do understand the use of having a shorter article name, especially if that player is known commonly by a nickname (such as Chus Bravo).

I'd like to figure out the best way to refer to these players before I continue to make these articles, so if you could respond and either let me know what is considered the standard guideline by WP:FOOTBALL (with pertinent link, please) or by starting a larger discussion on the WP:FOOTBALL discussion page, that would be great.

Thanks a lot, Isaiah (talk) 17:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of John Dahlbäck
A tag has been placed on John Dahlbäck requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TrulyBlue (talk) 14:05, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * The above CSD warnings referred to the notability of this individual (Speedy deletion criterion A7). The article was deleted after the first warning, you re-created it, and I applied the same tag again, for the same reason.  If you look at the history you can see that User:Tanthalas39 removed the second CSD template after questioning the notability on the talk page, and given no response Tanthalas39 has initiated the deletion discussion. Hope that's clear. regards TrulyBlue (talk) 08:53, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * See the wiki on speedy deletion - essentially it's a process used for articles that fail to meet basic criteria. An article so tagged can be deleted by an administrator with no further consensus needed.  My first tag was placed at 15:05; you re-created the article at 16:28 and I re-tagged at 18:36.  Basically I sometimes patrol the new pages, and will tag stuff that may be speedily deleted.  It then goes on my watchlist, so I see re-created material and will tag again if it appears to be the same.  You seem to take a lot more trouble than most editors (who create junk and don't return to defend it), but in this case it appeared to me that the article still made no assertion of notability.  There is now the discussion on notability between editors, and we'll see what the result of that is.  TrulyBlue (talk) 11:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The warnings are there to give the author a (potentially very brief) opportunity to defend the article, or at least some rationale should they find that it's been deleted. TrulyBlue (talk) 12:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Re your latest message on my talk. Throughout the process I have been focussing on the content of the article and the references (which I did read before nominating). As an outsider to the house music/DJ scene I think that I can legitimately contribute the observation that the article and references do not show to a reader such as myself why a subject is notable: without the further information provided in the AfD discussion I still contend that the article does not make a sufficient case for notability. This is a view shared with others involved in the discussion, including User:Moonriddengirl and User:Tanthalas39. By the way, AfDs get closed based on an admin's review of the arguments and consensus, not on having everyone having the same opinion, so withdrawing my 'vote' (they're not really votes, just opinions) makes no difference. I have not taken offence at any stage - you have expressed your view clearly and civilly throughout. regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 15:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Re your latest message, yes, I CSD'd the page on the basis of what I saw. An administrator decided against, which is fine, but they did give the edit summary "speedy declined pending question on talk page", the question being "How is this guy possibly notable?". The admin was giving an opportunity to avoid speedy deletion by providing more evidence of notability, suggesting that my own doubts as to notability were shared by someone else. You had 2 hours and 4 edits before I CSD'd, which is not unreasonable (in fact quite a long time relative to the Special:NewPages patrol process). Sure I didn't appreciate fully that an appearance on the Essential Mix would in itself constitute notability, but that's a position that several others found themselves in, until more was explained on the AfD discussion. I don't know how to avoid this kind of issue in future: maybe get the article as complete as possible in a WP:Sandbox, include the references, but word it something like "The Pete Tong Essential Mix programme on BBC Radio 1 was devoted to his mixes on such-and-such a date (ref)." Anyway, the article is now established: time to move onwards and upwards! best regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 19:06, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Apparently you were the original creator of this article (as opposed to the person who had started it as a redirect). An issue of legal threats arose at ANI in relation to that article today, and I nominated for deletion. The page got snowball deleted before word came that you actually built the article.
