[edit] Recent edits to cats

Would you mind explaining your recent edits to pages like Tommy McAvoy and Ian McDiarmid. At first I thought it was vandalism, but on second thought it looks like you had a purpose in mind. However I can't work out what it was. AlistairMcMillan 21:14, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)


Yes, I'm also curious why you're changing the capitaliations in the categories for names like McWilliams and MacCarthy. What are we missing? Thanks --BaronLarf 23:16, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC) Yes, I'm also curious why you're changing the capitaliations in the categories for names like McWilliams and MacCarthy. What are we missing? Thanks --BaronLarf 23:16, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

Simple really. In wikiworld (and a lot of others) McWilliams is not the same as Mcwilliams alphabetically. Bornintheguz 23:20, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
And yet the capitalization stays the same in the categories. Interesting. Thanks for the insight.--BaronLarf 23:28, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
But that doesn't explain you're changes categorization of MacNames to McNames. older≠wiser 03:12, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)
Not entirely sure what you mean but if what I think you mean is right see my reply to AlistairMcMillan Bornintheguz 15:06, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that is it--it is by no means a universal practice (sorting McNames as if they were MacNames) and it is certainly not what I expect when looking through a directory. This has come up before (see User:SimonMayer/Mac-Mc) and as I recall there was no consensus about it then. I do not think it is a good idea to systematically make such changes without some consensus about it. older≠wiser 19:44, Jan 8, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] amending categories

Hey, I saw that you edited the Martyn Bennett article. What does the change you made do? Thanks --Paraphelion 03:52, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I have the same question about Victor A. McKusick. You actually changed the spelling of his last name to an incorrect form (Mackusick is not accurate). I'd like to understand what you were trying to... JFW | T@lk 19:53, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
See my reply to AlistairMcMillan's question and my reply to Paraphelion's question. Bornintheguz 20:03, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] cats again

Any particular reason for adding Category:English Civil War to Royalist? It's basically a disambiguation page. The relevant article for the English Civil War is Cavaliers (which, I'm afraid, is barely more than a stub). -- Jmabel | Talk 06:55, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] more cats (meeow!)

I notice you've recently been adding clubs like Glentoran and Aberdeen to [[Category:United Soccer Association teams]] - I must admit I have never heard of this organisation, and I wonder if something is wrong, since that category is itself included in [[Category:United States soccer clubs]], so obviously something is amiss somewhere! -- Arwel 01:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sheffield United F.C

If Sheffield United weren't the first team to be known as "United", who was? I've often heard that Sheffield were the first United and would love to know why I am wrong! Warofdreams 18:15, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

see User talk:Warofdreams#Sheffield United F.C Bornintheguz 18:33, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Interesting, and the SUFC article should make this clear, but the claim refers to Sheffield United Cricket Club, its predecessor, who took their name in 1854 (and therefore it is the first sports club to be known as "United", not the first football team) - although earlier examples are very welcome!

[edit] Moves of cricket pages

Why have you moved the Cardiff UCCE and Bradford/Leeds UCCE pages? Have you seen something about them being renamed? If so, what? And also if so, that wouldn't change the names they played under in old games. Finally - can we have solidi in page titles, I thought they mucked something up, which is why I went for Bradford&Leeds in the title. Kind regards, jguk 11:21, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:30, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] M. J. K. Smith

I've changed the category entry back to "M. J. K. Smith" simply because I can't think of anyone who'd look under "Michael John Knight" for this player. Loganberry (Talk) 18:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FC United of Manchester

Hi,

I'm not fussed about whether "in similar circumstances" stays in the article or not, but I'm puzzled by your comment that the circumstances were "hardly similar." I realise that Glazer hasn't moved the club (yet?) but as both clubs were formed by disgruntled supporters after a twat took over their club, the circumstances seem fairly similar to me. Just wondering why you think otherwise. CTOAGN 8 July 2005 20:52 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Football

I noticed you've made a lot of edits to football articles and wondered if you'd like to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Football. It's still new and there isn't a lot happening yet, but we're hoping to get things like a football collaboration of the (week/fortnight/whatever) going soon.

CTOAGN 19:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plymouth

Greetings. Are you aware that it seems Wikipedia is being hoaxed in the Plymouth article at least concerning the putative existence and contributions of one "Lee Brook?" While it may be fodder for BJAODN, it really isn't appropriate for an encyclopaedia. Your attention to this matter will be appreciated. Regards, Fire Star 14:54, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Soccer matches by season

If this is a genuine project you're interested in, such as your articles on Plymouth (Argyle) F.C.'s results by season, and so long as we can have backing from others, I wouldn't mind joining you in collecting all of these results together. Looks like one heck of a project, what do you think?

I'll try and get something up on my Sandbox in due course to see if what we have in mind is more or less the same thing..

Otherwise, for completionists like ourselves, it looks like something could get going here..! Bobo192|Edits

see User talk:Bobo192#Soccer matches by season Bornintheguz 15:10, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Bornintheguz said: I just did the first season as I thought it would be interesting. I'm not up for doing more apart from the odd season here or there.

Cool. In actual fact, I think I had overestimated my sources at hand. I don't know how many seasons I would actually be able to do - a lot of them I just have FA Cup seasons or similar..
Sorry about that. Thought before I wrote, I guess. Just depends what else you think needs doing. Thank you. Bobo192|Edits

[edit] vandalsim

Don't vandalise the wikipedia. There are procedures for getting rid of categories. Use them. Dunc|☺ 23:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category Edits

Why are you removing the category link to "English football clubs" from club pages? It is entirely relevant for club pages to link there. - Pal 22:42, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

see User talk:Pal#Category Edits Bornintheguz 22:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
For the same reason I wouldn't put Tommy Tynan in Category:English footballers and Category:English football Bornintheguz 22:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Which is why you wouldn't put Chelsea F.C. in Category:English_football_clubs and Category:Football (soccer) clubs. But why shouldn't an English football club link to a category specifically made for English football clubs? - Pal 23:04, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
see User talk:Pal#Category Edits Bornintheguz 23:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Which is why I wouldn't put Burnley F.C. in Category:Burnley F.C. and Category:English football clubs Bornintheguz 23:28, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Check out the example on the convention page: Wikipedia:Categorization#When_to_use_categories. Notice that the suggested category for Michael Jackson is not Category:Michael Jackson, but rather Category:Pop singers. It's fine that there's a Category:Burnley F.C. page, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a link to Category:English football clubs on the main Burnley F.C. page. A user should not have to click on the Burnley cat. in order to get to a link to the English football clubs cat. - Pal 23:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images

Could you please provide a full justification for fair use for the images you have uploaded (e.g. Image:Stanley Matthews.jpg, Image:Tom Finney.jpg, Image:Dixie Dean.jpg, etc.)? At the moment it is not entirely obvious which fair use category they fall under. Could you please follow the guidelines on providing justification and use an appropriately specific tag for your images so that the rationale is clear? Thank you. Qwghlm 20:13, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

As I am not sure whether they fall under fair use I have tagged the following images with {{fairusereview}} so their status can be reviewed by another WP editor:

  • Image:TedDrake.jpg
  • Image:HerbertChapman.jpg
  • Image:HughieGallacher.jpg
  • Image:DixieDean.jpg
  • Image:TomFinney.jpg
  • Image:StanleyMatthews.jpg
  • Image:Hand of God goal.jpg

I have not tagged the remaining three images you have uploaded, as I suspect they were originally taken before 1923 and are thus in the public domain:

Even though they are scanned from a copyrighted work, as long as they have not been altered in any way they remain in the public domain - see Wikipedia talk:Copyright FAQ. However, I do not know the exact date those photos were taken, so I'll leave it to you to check the acknowledgements and re-tag those images accordingly. Please do include a full date and source in the justification for the PD tag. Thanks. Qwghlm 19:28, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please don't vandalize Wikipedia

Mohamed Al-Fayed's article being part of Wikipedia. Thank you. --Zaxios 09:40, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Football World Cup move

As a regular contributor to football articles you may wish to vote at talk:Football World Cup Jooler 10:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please check your WP:NA entry

Greetings, editor! Your name appears on Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts. If you have not done so lately, please take a look at that page and check your listing to be sure that following the particulars are correct:

  1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
  2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
  3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BDAbramson T 04:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Leônidas da Silva.jpg
