Manortown United

this article seems to be up for deletion. this seems unfair as the club are a well known dublin amateur soccer club with a respected history of bringing through young players who later have become professional players.

articles on similar clubs such Stillorgan Lakelands F.C. and Vale_View_Shankill_F.C. have been allowed and these clubs would not be as well known in the league system as Manortown.

this club has won trophies such as the Milk Cup and regularly competes at the FAI CUP and FAI Junior Cup, two trophies of some history and prestige in domestic soccer in Ireland.

The club has also been featured as the central theme of an RTE television program.

For these reasons, and that articles on clubs similar to itself have been accepted, i feel it would be grossly unfair if this article was deleted.

(ps. i am new to editing wikipedia, so i apologise if i have posted this in an incorrect location)

Fulham F.C. players.

Hi mate, Cheers for your comment on the footy talkpage - I don't often get responses lol. I wanted to ask you a few things about the "list of player" articles. Firstly, should I indicate if a player is on loan at another club (as they are neither current or former players if this is the case) and if so, how should this be shown. For example, Robert Milsom had several loan spells between 2005 and 2009 but he is still a Fulham player. He was on loan at Brentford in 2008 and Southend later the same year but technically his spell at Fulham is "2005-09". 03 md 17:05, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now started both pages and completed the data as far as possible for surnames beginning with A, I and Q, as well as the current squad. How does it look so far? I am not quite sure whether I am presenting it in the right way having seen different variations on the Gillingham, Manchester United (my team) and Birmingham lists. I realise that you have not included separate sections for league and total appearances on the Gillingham articles, but it is difficult without sources for all competitions to check the total. The Man U list, on the other hand, differentiates between starts and substitute appearances. I am not sure which is the best option. I believe the existing data is accurate though. 03 md 00:30, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FARRINGTON GURNEY FC

Hi, i dont know how to add a new comment to this page. I think you are very small minded to think that my football club is not worthy of an article on wikipedia. The only way to make the club bigger is if people know about it... therefore you are restricting our chance to grow. We are hopefully on the verge of making the step up to a more 'well known' level in the football pyramid. And i think we should be allowed a page on here to let people know about the rich history of our club. It is one of the oldest clubs in Somerset and has been running for well over 100 years and this alone should be enough reason to have an article. Wikipedia should not be just about 'well known' Premier League clubs. Neil Radnedge 17:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nradnedge (talk • contribs)

Cup image in 1872 FA Cup Final

Hi Chris, I was just wondering about the image in 1872 FA Cup Final and other early finals (you're doing a great job with those articles by the way, I really need to do something about the 1886, 1887, 1888, 1892 and 1895 final articles...). Anyway, the description of File:1896 FA Cup.jpg states "The trophy was used between 1896 and 1910, replacing an earlier trophy which was stolen and never recovered", so I was wondering whether it might be misleading to use the image for finals prior to 1896?

Hello. An article Mitchel Hahn was recently created, no evidence of the player passing WP:ATHLETE. A previous article about the player was deleted by AfD a few months back. From what I remember of the previous one, the new one seems pretty similar, so I was wondering if it could be speedied as a recreation of deleted material, or should I prod it as non-notable? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:41, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. For some reason I was reading the Maccabiah Games stuff as being 2007 and not 2009, praps I should have asked Father Christmas for a thicker pair of glasses... Think it would need to go to AfD, in that case.

re: Ardwick Athletic

I was posting a message to Oldelpaso and saw your comment on his page about Ardwick Athletic, commenting that you didn't think such a club ever existed. It's a pretty inconsequential point, not least since it appears that the guy who made said page got banned for being a sockpuppet recently, but I thought I should point out to you that such a club did exist. It was better known as Ardwick A.F.C. probably hence the confusion, and today is better known as Manchester City. Ardwick A.F.C. was the name of City around 1890, for about 10 years between reorganisations. Just a heads-up. Falastur2 ^Talk 04:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arsenal

Hello. You may well be unaware that the Arsenal F.C. FAR is still ongoing and has now been moved to FARC. They were happy with the content and referencing but then (on Christmas Eve) a reviewer picked up on prose and particularly overlinking issues. I've finally forced myself to give it a copyedit, and have been ruthless with the season links in the prose, only leaving the ones which seem particularly relevant to Arsenal's history, at least in my opinion, who knows naff all about them... And to be fair, it does look better with so much less blue. But I'd be very grateful if you could find time to apply your vast experience of FAs to having a quick skim through and see if you spot any glaring stylistic errors, or if you think I've gone too far with the de-blueing. If you haven't got the time, or the inclination, I shan't be offended :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On January 19, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Ghost of Love, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

re: re: Ardwick A.F.C.

hahaha, just my luck. In my time working on early Man City season articles I've just re-read the City page and realised that I was wrong all along about Ardwick A.F.C. It seems the 'A' stood for Association, not Athletic. My bad, and sorry about the misleading. Perhaps I should pay more attention to what I read in future? ;) Falastur2 ^Talk 15:16, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of UK hit singles by footballers

An inspired list. Individually, music and football are two of the best things in life, yet when combined the result is often cringeworthy! I once won a signed copy of "Diamond Lights" from a competition in Shoot! magazine... I may still have the record somewhere but I don't know whether including a picture of the cover would be fair use or not? Certainly the song itself was not a fair use of either my record player or my ears. :-) --Jameboy (talk) 16:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

another one for the list. Good job there's no inclusion criteria concerning artistic merit. Oldelpaso (talk) 15:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FLC review

Recently, you commented on the featured topic candidacy for Major League Baseball awards. As per the ongoing discussion there, two lists are being added to the topic, but have not yet gone through FLC. This is just a friendly note, in case you are not watching the FTC, asking reviewers to comment at the FLCs if you have time. The first article's nomination is underway. Thanks for your time.

Les Williams

In compiling the List of Wales international footballers, I came across "Albert Leslie Williams" (born 1905, died 1974), aka Les Williams who made one appearance for Wales in 1930. He played for Gillingham in two spells: 1931-1932 (39 league appearances, 5 goals) and 1933-1935 (11 league appearances, 1 goal). He doesn't seem to be mentioned on the List of Gillingham F.C. players. Am I missing something? Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply - I'll change the list to Bert Williams (Welsh footballer). Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:AshleyMac.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:AshleyMac.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Would you know where this might be raiseable?

(yeah: I don't think raiseable is a real word either) A long running irritation with Wiki has finally spurred me into making a proposal on the talk page that seems the most appropriate, but judging by the previous discussions on that page, I may as well stick the note on my kitchen window. Would you know what would be a more likely place to post such a proposal? Ta in advance Kevin McE (talk) 22:33, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks: moved it as advised. Kevin McE (talk) 01:00, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing this. Can you revisit ASAP when you have the time? (Don't mean to rush you, but I was going to close it today so I wanted to make sure everything was in order) Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 13:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Duncan Edwards

Hello Chris! I'm a italian wikipedian, and I don't speak english very well Sorry, my english could contain many mistakes. I write to you this message to have some information about Duncan Edwards, a fantastic article that I would like to make a featured article also on it.wiki. My questions are the following:

In "Football career": ...although he was selected for a Football League XI which played an exhibition match against a Scottish League team. What is Football League XI? Does an article exist in Wikipedia? A web site?
In "Early years": and was chosen to play for the English Schools XI. The same question, that is "What is English Schools XI? Does an article exist in Wikipedia? A web site?"
In "Football career": He also took part in army matches, and in one season played nearly one hundred matches in total. In an ordinary football season (like 1955–56 in English football), in a season of army matches or in a year?

Thanks for the answers, Whatnwas (talk) 14:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cfcuk fanzine

Hi

The text on the cfcuk entry was changed a couple of days ago. If you look at the log for Nawlin you will see when. Unfortunately, it seems I (mis)used the word 'notable', using it in 'general terms' rather than its use by way of Wikipedia terms.

As far as we are aware, the cfcuk fanzine is the ONLY Premier League and Championship fanzine which has a cover price of £1 which is regularly published (at least 12 issues per season)

Perhaps the word ‘unusual’ should have been a better choice for the first attempted entry as I suspect / hope this furore would not have occurred. As I said, the entry was changed the other day and I hope that the changes meet your criteria.

The ‘offending’ chapter of the article NOW reads;

“The cfcuk fanzine is unusual amongst football fanzines as it is now one of the only football fanzines that does not feature a full colour front cover and is famed for the fact that it only costs £1. It is on sale at every Chelsea Football Club 1st team match at home, away and abroad.”

Thank you
