Your editing to infoboxes

 * Regarding deletion of the Barry Beath / teeth reference; I'm not sure that it was meaningless, unencyclopedic perhaps !! I wrote it a long time ago, I guess we've moved on !! Sticks  66  13:43, 9 September 2014 (UTC) Hi Sticks66- as a big fan of the football prowess of Barry Beath, I really believe the 'teeth' reference was a not quite in the spirit of who he was as a player and his achievements, but I understand your point. He was a great player and a real favorite of mine as a young dragons supporter in the early 1970s, and I was and still am delighted that he finished his career in the 1977 grand final - Vox3000 (talk) 09.10, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries and quite right. I was at both those 77 games and around Jubilee myself a lot living nearby up till we moved away in '74. Do you contribute on old Dragons articles and of those days ? Sticks  66  10:51, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

No, I never have contributed to any other old Dragons stuff. To be honest, I am unsure which sites you mean. I went to Kogarah Oval, as a boy, with my dad from age 8 in 1971. I went to the 1971,1975 both 1977, 1979 and 1985 grand finals and was (and still am) a massive Dragons fan. I loved all the players and used to go to Kogarah at midday and watch all three grades for years and years. It was a fantasic time in my life. Vox3000 (talk) 09:17, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sticks
The fantastic local history department at Rockdale Library is the best resource for old footballers, digitalized and other copies of the 'St George Call', The 'Leader' and other extinct newspapers from the St George District. Old interviews with people who knew (at the club), conducted by me over a 30 year period, old 'Rugby league News' & 'Big League magazine' of the 1960s & 1970s often mention players of the past. Internet resources such as Trove, Ancestry.com, Google News Archive (newspapers), anything previously researched by Ian Heads (The March of the Dragons - 1989) or Alan Whiticker & Glen Hudson eg. Encyclopedia of Rugby League Players - the best bible on Australian rugby league that anyone can ever read. I so appreciate this Wikipedia forum, so I can add my vast knowledge to something as worthwhile as this, as I have plenty to contribute. Vox3000 (talk) 09.28, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Good for you Vox. Go for it - Sticks  66  13:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the award and your faith in me STICKSVox3000 (talk) 16;28, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Tips
I've just responded to your earlier email. Only just saw it I'm sorry. When I was starting out I kept a track of many handy tips other editors gave me. I still have that list here My Handy Tools & Tips it may be of some interest. There are these cheatsheets too that might be worth a read Icons Cheatsheet and All-in-one Editing Guide. Go for it, or as Mark Gasnier once famously said, "Fire Up". - Sticks  66  12:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

--Thanks mate. I've still got plenty to do.

Played for Oldham in the 1968 Lancashire Cup?
Hi Vox3000, would I be correct in assuming that Ken Wilson (rugby league) is not the same Ken Wilson that played for Oldham in the 1968 Lancashire Cup? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 17:07, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Flags in Infoboxes
Hi! I've noticed you've been adding a bundle of flags to infoboxes. As I understand, this has been voted on in the past and was decided against. It's also covered by MOS:FLAG. I believe it's considered especially poor form to give undue weight to someone's nation of birth because they could actually be playing for another nation. Personally, I don't care one way or another, but it's probably best to discuss before adding any more. Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Pat Quinn
Hi Vox3000, thanks for the edits to Pat Quinn. Just a quick query, I'd used the ≤ (the 'less than or equal to' symbol), and the ≥ (the 'more than or equal to' symbol) to define his known 'from' and 'to' years at a particular club, not the actual 'from' and 'to' years, i.e. I know Pat Quinn played in the he 1957 Challenge Cup final, but was he at Leeds before 1957 (probably), and after 1957 (probably)? I noticed that you've removed these symbols, meaning there are gaps in his career, are you able to confirm Pat Quinn's 'from' and 'to' years at a particular club. Best regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 10:47, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, a good spot, it looks like they're two separate rugby players named Pat Quinn; the Australian rugby league, and the English rugby union/rugby league. I'll attempt to separate them in my next available free time. Best regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 14:28, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * There… done it, but the Pat Quinn (rugby league) could do with some references. Best regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 17:27, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

it would be great
if you could help by adding project tags on talk pages for people - specially to indicate that they are not alive in the biography project - it helps! JarrahTree 00:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Rose Tattoo
In the Rose Tattoo article: could you provide a reliable source for Dallas "Digger" Royall dying in 1989 and not 1991. Both sources in the article have the latter year, which you changed to 1989. I also can't find any mention of his being in Western Australia, at that time.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:20, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I have changed the death year back to 1991. If you have a better reliable source than Nimmervoll or Alkeny then provide it before changing the year to 1989.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Norm Pope
I'm trying to track down a Norm Pope who fought with my grandfather in the second world war. Do you have any links to friends/family/contacts of Norm Pope who played for the dragons in 38/39? Trying to figure out whether it is the same man. 60.242.240.37 (talk) 11:33, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
