Welcome
Hey there, . Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you enjoy being a Wikipedian and decide to stay! Here are a few good links for newcomers (or "oldcomers" for reference):

By the way, you should sign and date your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. Three tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Great, just what we need around this place... more Toms. :) Cheers. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 20:03, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Football players
Hi, I notice that you have made articles about football players. Don't forget to add them to their proper category (for instance: Francis Green belongs in the category "English footballers"), and to add him just insert the following text to the article:

Don't hesitate to ask me if you have questions. Punkmorten 22:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Copyright Violations
I've noticed that your articles are virtually taken verbatum from ESPN Soccernet. In the future, please don't cut and paste articles from other websites onto Wikipedia, as it is illegal to do so. ErikNY 20:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Notability of Chibuzor Chilaka
A tag has been placed on Chibuzor Chilaka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JPINFV (talk) 15:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Chibuzor Chilaka
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Chibuzor Chilaka, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * As far as we can tell, he has not played in a fully professional league match - played a cup match with Notts County, played Non-League, and a trial with Hull.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Tompick! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:
