If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax ^τεχ 06:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale

Hi, I've replied to your question on my talk page. Combination 23:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tottenham Hotspur

Because some players had the leaving dates, and some didn't - it looked messy. Plus, for players who were at Tottenham more than once (fore example Jürgen Klinsmann), it looked even messier. Also, the full Tottenham data should be in their individual articles, so it is not that important to have them copied into the Tottenham article too. Finally, the section is about the most notable Tottenham players, and the dates are not important themselves, but are only used to sort the players from each other.

Well, that is hard for me to know when you don't say so, isn't it? If you think that including the leaving dates are crucial, then I suggest you gather all the information needed before inserting it, so it doesn't look half-finished. But you have to figure something out with the likes of Klinsmann and Sheringham, as it looks weird as it was, with years all over the place. And nothing of your work has been lost, it is all still in the article history of the Tottenham article. Poulsen 21:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
