[edit] Dundee United

You're clearly a fellow Arab judging by the amount of work you've been putting in on United-related articles recently. Well done on all that, but just a couple of points regarding all the player articles you've been creating recently: I think you might be wasting your time adding all those pictures from the official site, as they're a bit jumpy about copyright around here and I think you might be struggling to get them accepted as "fair use". One other thing, no need to manually insert the date the infobox stats have been updated, just type five tildes (~~~~~) to automatically add the date and time of your edit.

Anyway, keep up the great work and lets keep improving the DUFC presence on Wikipedia (hopefully more successfully than DUFC's attempts to improve on the park!) -- Jellyman 06:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah well, if they remove them then it's fair enough. It gave me something to do while bored at work ;-) Fedgin 09:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

You've certainly done a fine job with your former players list! I can add quite a few of the current whereabouts of those players you haven't got, so I'm going to spend the evening working on this page. --Jellyman 20:28, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A-League 2006-07 Newsletter I

Introduction
The first ever Wikiproject A-League newsletter is here! The 2006-07 A-League season will bring the usual enjoyment and fanaticism that only football/soccer can create. This new season also means a lot of (currently-open) tasks that require completion throughout the course of the next 21 weeks.
Position Ladder
A Position Ladder will be placed on each team page, which will provide an up-to-date visualization of the current A-League standings. However, problems may occur when Position Ladders aren't updated with the new statistics that don't involve matches of the team whose page the Position Ladder resides on. To remedy this, a base Position Ladder will be created, which will be located at {{2006-07 A-League Position Ladder}} (link). Please update this as soon as possible after the match has ended, as this will keep the Wikipedia community informed.

A few notes regarding the base Position Ladder:-

  • Please do not substitute the Position Ladder template on the team pages, as it won’t get automatically updated if you do.
  • Please only update the Position Ladder at the end of a match, and if there is any large dispute about the result, do not add it, but instead wait for an official report by the A-League confirming the result.
  • When updating, make sure to adjust all of the below fields:-
    • The played field – add one (eg. 13→14 etc.)
    • Either the win, loss or draw field, depending on the result for that team.
    • The points field – either add 3 points (win), 1 point (draw) or leave the same (loss)
    • The for and the against section
    • Make sure you repeat this process for both teams – not just the team you follow!
Summary Tables
Each team page will have a Summary Table added to it, which will provide an at-a-glance look at the results of the team throughout the season. We ask that, at every chance you get, you fill in the results of these Summary Tables – it only takes a few seconds, but it will help keep the uninformed "in the loop" – it is an encyclopedia we’re writing, after all.

As with the Position Ladders, a few notes about the Summary Tables:-

  • Please place the winner in bold text (using '''winning team''').
  • With the crowd figures, please only place a comma if the attendance is over 10,000 people (eg. use 8648 instead of 8,468 and 11,482 instead of 11482).

[edit] Barnstar

Keep making Scottish football articles better! Thanks for all your good work. --Guinnog 11:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks ;-) Fedgin 12:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Not at all. You earned it! --Guinnog 12:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

I know we're in a rush sometimes but you seem to hardly ever summarise your edits, which makes more work for readers. Typing this has taken me longer than it does to type out a summary. - Dudesleeper 19:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll make sure I do from now on. Fedgin 07:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A-League Newsletter II, 2006

WikiProject A-League Newsletter
Issue II – September 2006
Current Player project status
10% complete
A-League News


Project News
  • The Player project has been moved, overhauled and refined. It now is not limited to the 2005-06 player list. However, only 10% of articles are considered "complete", and hopefully we can get this figure to approach 100% by the end of the season.
  • Major changes to the layout of the 2006-07 A-League season page have taken place recently, and an infobox created. A table for attendances, as well as top scorer etc. are now in place. All users are encouraged to update the scores for completed matches as they come in.
  • Recently, Perth Glory F.C. was moved to Perth Glory FC after no objections were raised at the Wikiproject talk page. All links to the old page (including various templates) were changed.
  • The project requires pictures of games and stadiums to help improve articles. Any pictures are much appreciated.
  • The A-League Portal has been set up. Feel free to update the scores, and make sure you check out the selected article and picture each fortnight.
  • The football (soccer) barnstar has recently became the official award of the Wikiproject. Feel free to hand it out to anyone you see making excellent contributions to all things A-League related.

[edit] Grammar corrections

Hey Fedgin, thanks for your grammar corrections on Colin Cameron. Most of the time I know which words to use, or how to write something, but I know there will always be quite some grammar errors in my contributions as English is not my native language. Glad you did the job this time. I'm learning from it as well for future articles and edits. Would you do me a favour and check Marianne Vos' article on grammar as well? I wrote this article earlier this week and so far no one has corrected my grammar, but I actually can't believe there's none ;) Thanks in advance, SportsAddicted 21:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Made some changes for you Fedgin 09:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, looks good. SportsAddicted 11:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football AID 1 October – 8 October

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 21:58, 9 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Why do you remove disambiguation links ?

Plese dont remove disambiguation links they are very helpful to have, please put back the ones you took out.Irate velociraptor 03:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I think he was putting them in, not taking them out. --Guinnog 03:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, my wording was ambiguous - I was correcting them, as per Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/2006-09-06 dump. Fedgin 07:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I first noticed it at the top of Atlantis (Stargate). It used to have a disambiguation link on top.

[edit] Expansion of WP:A-League

Hi Fedgin,

Just thought I'd let you know there is currently a proposal to expand WikiProject A-League to include all areas of football/soccer in Australia, including the NSL, A-League, Socceroos, state leagues and more. A more formal proposal page can be found here. Please indicate whether you support the idea or not at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject A-League, and also add your 2c about what the new project should be called. Cheers! – AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 04:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Craig Levein.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:Craig Levein.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 04:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:2005-06 unitedvhearts.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:2005-06 unitedvhearts.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 19:24, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images

You have uploaded a lot of photographs for Dundee United-related articles and tagged them as fair use, but you have not offered a fair use rationale for most of them. You have also tagged many of the photographs as sports poster, which only applies to posters of sporting events. Finally, images of footballers are usually don't fall under fair use, since they are alive and appear in public.

Here are the images affected:

  • Image:DUFC 2006-07.jpg
  • Image:Craig levein.jpg
  • Image:Caldwell scotland france.jpg
  • Image:Scottishcupwinners1994.jpg

[edit] Scotland away kit

I noticed your edit on the national team article, just to let you know User:Wiggy! created a more accurate version of the kit at Template talk:Football kit, which certain users have so far been too stupid to insert to the article. Archibald99  15:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Using the fc template

The {{fc}} template should always be substituted, per Template_talk:Fc. Writing {{subst:fc|Arsenal}} will result in the same link as {{fc|Arsenal}}, only, the compute servers will not have to lookup the template several times per page when anyone accesses an article.
