G'day!

G'day there, Edblax, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!

Sometimes new editors find it useful to review our "five pillars", all you need to know about editing in "wiki markup", or this detailed tutorial. The stuff we all really need to know is best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down. If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh?

By the way, I'm going to take a punt in the dark and say you're Australian. If so, excellent! Aussies make good Wikipedians (yes, oh yes, we do). You may be interested in Wikipedia:Australian Wikipedians' notice board, where Australian Wikipedians occasionally meet to try to help coordinate our efforts. Again, welcome to the project, and happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:02, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. My goodness, chill out. I did not "knock" the club at all, and an perfectly happy that the no consensus result has resulted in the page being kept. And nor is my view in any way, shape or form narrow minded. On the otherhand nor would I get so upset about something. Your comment on the Deletions article is very odd, and by the tone of your response, you seem to have taken my comments way, way too personally and completely and utterly out of context. My membership of the Non-League Football project has no bearing on anything as I am not a particular fan of English non-league football, I just take an interest in it. As for this - "The only reason I can see for most of your non-league teams being kept is that they "play at a level where they can compete in national competitions." Newsflash: Australia has one national competition, with eight teams"

They aren't my clubs and there really is no need to be so parochial. Nor do I believe that every single English non-league club deserves a page about it on wikipedia, as I have also voted for numerous English clubs (which were little more than 5-a-side kids clubs) to be deleted . However, if this club had been English I would have voted in exactly the same way basing it on it being a Fans club. I have also voted to keep numerous others. It has nothing whatsoever to do with it being from a different country as that has no bearing whatsoever on how I would have voted. I also did state that if this particular club got to a level such as those of AFC Wimbledon or something close then it most definitely should have an article, and I would also vote to strongly keep it. I simply say what I see, it has absolutely nothing to do with not realising about how football is perceived differently in different countries. The result of the vote was no consensus anyway, and the page remains. But please don't take things so personally when that was clearly not intended, and especially when others made similar comments and I simply happened to post more words. The way to sort things out is to debate about things, without taking things so personally and also without the sarcasm and personal digs. If you had simply replied with what are, in essence, some very good points, about football in Australia and the eight clubs etc etc then that is what is needed, not digs and taking this so personally. To be honest reading the comments you made, without all the digs etc, those points are well made and added to the debate well. And to be honest I probably would have ended up changing my vote anyway. But there was also no need for the digs. I will though unreservedly apologise to you as you clearly have taken offence at my comments. ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 20:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for your message. I wasn't offended at all, just concerned more that you thought I was "picking" on the club when, if someone presents a good argument to me, I can and in all honesty in that instant, would probably change my vote (It is done on here, that users change their votes!). I know I might have typed out a lot, but thats just the way I am, I prattle on. I must admit to knowing little about the sport in Australia, just that the former manager of the team I support, Blackpool F.C. was manager of Perth Glory for a while. I'll have a gander at the Sydney article now! Have fun!♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 01:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
