For a 'see also' it is better to use the template as here: {{seealso|Huddersfield Town F.C. - Results for 2005/06 season}} . BlueValour16:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your great work on Town's players. I have been adding 'professional' before 'footballer'. This is not a quibble but is needed to meet WP:BIO in case some self-appointed wikilawyer spots the article. Please add this to any other article you create/have created.
A further small point, it is not current good practice to wikify dates unless the year is special e.g. formation of the club and someone might want to find out what else happened that year.
Hi there, I've largely removed your recent edits to this article. I't important to remember what Wikipedia is (an encyclopedia) and what it's not... It's not a crystal ball, nor a rumour mill. Thanks/wangi21:02, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. BlueValour17:13, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
When you put the {{fc}} template into an article, you should be sure to prefix it with subst. The resulting links will be the same, and it requires less work by the computing servers whenever a page is accessed. So, instead of {{fc|Arsenal}}, you would put {{subst:fc|Arsenal}}. See the Template talk:Fc page for more info. Regards. Neier11:02, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Manchester United F.C. - 50 Greatest Players Of All Time, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.
Would be good if you could come up with some notable independent references to this list and cite some sources on its factual accuracy. The article is also completely useless without a date to give it historical context. --JamesTheNumberless18:21, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, many thanks for creating this template - it is a great idea. I have removed it from category pages, where templates are not used, and from Leeds Road since it is against policy to have such templates on disambiguation pages (and for that reason I have removed Leeds Road from the template). However, if you feel moved to make a Leeds Road (stadium) article that would be a splendid way forward. I have also reshaped the template since it looks better on pages when wider rather than deeper. I have pointed Players to the relevant section in the main article (to be consistent with the approach that you took with Managers) and split the seasons, adding the template to each season. I have also added the template to each FA Cup article. HTH. BlueValour21:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Huddersfield Town F.C. season 2007-08, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Huddersfield Town F.C. season 2007-08 itself.

A tag has been placed on Ryan Crossley, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Ryan Crossley is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Ryan Crossley saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. EliminatorJRTalk18:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Zoltán Lipták, by Svetovid (talk·contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Zoltán Lipták seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Paul Macari, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Paul Macari satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy).

You are free to edit the content of Paul Macari during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Hi. I don't think certain players on the Halifax Town A.F.C. squad list should have wikilinks, due to them not being notable. Just thought I'd mention it as you're re-adding the links, and I think I might bring it up at WP:FOOTY to see what people think. Thanks, Mattythewhite15:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you provide a source for the material in the above article that you created? I can't seem to find anything verifying his existence, though I'm admittedly not the greatest searcher. Cheers, CP18:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And also for Harry Dennis, Joe Lodge and Ray Dring? I can't find sources for any of these people (except for Joe Lodge, who seems to be a cricket player, rather than a footy one). Please provide sources for all of these articles, and any further ones you create, or else I will be forced to bring them up for deletion as unverifiable articles. Thank you. Cheers, CP01:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Further to the above, I have now expanded the article on Robert Perrett as far as I can. You may care to use the full reference for the book you are using as your source material, as used at the Reference section of that article.

Hi, sorry to have made work for you reinstating his loan details.

An editor has nominated Top Gear races, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Top Gear races and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

A tag has been placed on Alex Smith (footballer born 1947) 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 {{hangon}} 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.
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Wembley Stadium matches, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Hey. Just wondering if you can tell me when Grundy was at Huddersfield. I'm linking a William Grundy in some of Blackpool's early season articles (1906–07, for example) and wanted to make sure it's the same player. - Dudesleeper / Talk21:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I sense your frustration at the Afd nomination. I did a quick Google search for "Spencer Harris" Huddersfield and got a number of hits - you may want to add some of them to the article. I would but I don't have time at the moment. – ukexpat (talk) 19:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there is a problem with your page move. If a new club has been formed, as seems to be the case, rather than the club in administration having been renamed, then we need to move the page back and create a new article on the new club.

Hey. I noticed you've made a fair few edits to The Football League 2008-09 so I was wondering if you would take a look at this and see what you think of it? I'm just looking for thoughts at the moment, it's not a full-fledged proposition for change, but anything you add to the discussion would be great - even if it's just saying whether you like the idea or disagree with it.

Hi there. You wrote this article about Tompkin some time ago - but had no deathdate attached to him. According to Cricket Archive, Maurice Tompkin died in 1956. See here.

Hi, a friend of mine is writing a biography of his father, Alfred Brookes Sharman. Sharman played for Town in the 20s, but possibly only in the reserves. I wonder if you would check your record books to see if you can find any trace, please? If it turns out that he got a first team game then I can do a WP page, of course. Smile a While (talk) 23:19, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that my sources have no record of an "Alfred Brookes Sharman" playing in the first team, because I was so busy over Christmas2007 and the New Year2008 putting up the record of every player who played in Town's first team, but I just double-checked to make sure I didn't overlook him. Does that mean you don't own a copy of 99 Years & Counting, the Town book? Do you not live in this country? JRRobinson (talk) 13:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, noticed your change to his year of birth. My Birmingham sources say 1902, but Joyce's Football League Player Records has 1901, so I'm happy to go with the majority, at least until someone comes up with his birth certificate to prove it one way or the other :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, noticed you'd added Kettering apps to the infobox and was wondering if you were sure that figure was just league apps? I know this gives 47 apps, but if he was only there for that one season, that must be all competitions, they only played 42 in the Southern League. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey there. In line with other clubs' templates, I have split the list of seasons out of {{Huddersfield Town F.C.}} and created {{Huddersfield Town F.C. seasons}}. Unfortunately, this means having to replace all instances of the former on the Huddersfield Town seasons articles with the latter. I wonder if you might be able to do a few of these for me. I can do some myself, but I also have a fair few of my own tasks to be done. – PeeJay22:13, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, why don't I just request that bot do it? In fact, if I got a bot to do it, I could also get the hyphens in the article titles changed to endashes, thereby killing two birds with the metaphorical solitary stone. That OK with you? – PeeJay22:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On January 17, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jack Wheeler, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi there. I was looking through a list of articles, checking stuff, and I noticed this. The birth date you put there is 1960, but the article says 1889. Did you mean to put the date of death? If not, it'll just need correcting, but if it is the year of death then the article needs a bit of tidying (add and removing the related categories).

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Andy Jeffery, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
No record here or here of him ever having played. No info on google. Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:N
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 {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Holly Walsh a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. TalkIslander00:46, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can only assume you keep changing the date format and bolding the inverted commas in his name on purpose, and for that you must have a reason. Therefore, my only question is: what is the reason for you to make these changes? The inverted commas are not part of his name, so I see no reason for them to be bolded, and the guy is English, so it makes perfect sense for the date format used in the article to be the international format (DD MMM YYYY) and not the nonsensical American format (MMM DD, YYYY). – PeeJay23:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You may prefer a certain method, but since Drinkwater is British, we should stick to the British date format in his article. Furthermore, I was originally told by another editor (possibly User:Daemonic Kangaroo) that the inverted commas shouldn't be bolded, so it's a habit that I've gotten into. I have brought the issue up at WT:MOSBIO if you'd care to have a look at the comment I've left there. – PeeJay21:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
