Poor Links

User talk:86.45.105.210, You are very quick to make accusations of vandalism. Why would I vandalise an article that I wrote ? However your edits to this article are very poor. The links you n contributed make no mention of Godwin. If they do, you need a magnifying glass to find it. Find better links if you can. In addition Godwin only spent a short part of his career at Rovers and the para you insist titling Shamrock Rovers is not just about the Rovers. Djln--Djln (talk) 20:22, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have opened discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football regarding vandalism at Tommy Godwin (footballer). Djln--Djln (talk) 17:29, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of text from Footy talk page

I would like to report a case of vandalism and / or poor editing at Tommy Godwin (footballer). The vandal whose IP addresses begin with 213 or 82 has been very persistent and has continued to mess with article for several months. He / she seems to be a supporter of Shamrock Rovers, one of several teams Godwin played for. One issue is the constant renaming of a paragraph about Godwin’s Early Years to Shamrock Rovers. Godwin only spent a short period of career at Rovers and the paragraph includes refs to three other clubs and not just Rovers. Secondly he also insists in adding this link [1] which can only be accessed by paying to log on. Thirdly in doing these changes he removes all the references that have been previously added to the article. In addition the vandal refuses to login or use the talk page to discuss edits. At least one other editor User:Schcambo has reverted his edits and another User:SoWhy has requested he use refs properly. I believe this article should be semi-protected to help prevent further vandalism. Djln --Djln (talk) 17:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The same two IP users have been regularly vandalising or adding poor uncited edits to Jason Gavin. Peanut4 (talk) 17:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
