[edit] WikiProject Sheffield
Hi! I have noticed you making a lot of edits to the Sheffield United article. A group of us who are working on Sheffield-related articles have got together to form Wikipedia:WikiProject Sheffield in the hope of fostering better collaboration between editors (hopefully resulting in better articles). If you would like to participate you would be most welcome, just add your name to the list on the project page. JeremyA 14:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Claude Davis
I have removed the speedy tags from the Claude Davis article, I have given my reasons on the talk page, it would be good to cite the sources you used for the article too. Also, when you signed your post it gives two links to your user page, you might want to look at what you set in your preferences. Thanks. --Alf melmac 19:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you for letting the article stand. I will in future, add sources to my posts whenever possible. Hawksworthm 20:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Joe Shaw
Hi there. Minor apology - I recently asked on Wikiproject Football about what should be done about the articles Joe Shaw (footballer) and Joe Shaw (soccer) - as you created the latter article I should have alerted you to it, and I didn't. Sorry. To prevent confusion between the two Joe Shaws I have moved the article about the Blades defender to Joe Shaw (Sheffield United) and updated all incoming links, including the one on your userpage; it was only when I did that did I realise I'd forgotten to consult you. I hope the move is OK with you, apologies once again. Qwghlm 13:28, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, it is a good idea to seperate them. Thanks for letting me know and updating the links. Hawksworthm 20:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] An appreciation
Hello to a fellow Blade. Not entirely sure if I've put these comments in the right place, but thanks for the work you've done on the Sheffield United page. I created the Tony Currie and Keith Edwards articles as you may know and I see you've added well to them, especially on the TC page. A shame the photos of Tony and Keith were removed though. All the best and enjoy the new season. Steve Morgan in Walkley. BladeSteve 23:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hello Steve, yes your comments are welcome here. Thank you for your kind words. When I first joined Wikipedia, I saw your articles on Currie and Edwards and I was very much impressed with them. I agree, it is a pity about the images. I guess one way is to use Wikipedia Fair use, this image is one example.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:George_Best.jpg this was uploaded in Oct 2005 and is still around – I think its just a question of getting the correct licensing for the image. Yes, I'm really looking forward to the new season, should be great to see the Lane packed for every match. All the best to you Steve, and Up the Blades! Hawksworthm 02:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jordan Robertson
Heya. Just a note to say that you left out an important bit of code in the above article: when citing a reference, you forgot to close the citation with </ref>. If you miss that, nothing after the citation will actually appear on the page, so it can be quite annoying for readers. I've fixed it for you, but thought I should leave a message to say so. :) Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 13:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- I appreciate it, thanks fo letting me know about this. ;) Hawksworthm 14:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
