[edit] Did you know nomination for History of Swindon

Howdy! Whilst browsing through Special:Newpages for potential articles to feature as part of the Did you know? section of the Main Page, I ran across the article History of Swindon, which you created. You can see the proposed blurb at Template talk:Did you know under the date heading corresponding to the creation of the article. I'm adding this notice here for two reasons: Firstly, if you feel the blurb I wrote is inaccurate or misrepresents the subject, feel free to propose a correction below it, or add a note to my talk page. Secondly, barring a large backlog or a significant problem cropping up with regards to the article, you should expect to see it on the Main Page within a week, so if you wish to add some polish to it before getting a sizable influx of eyeballs looking it over, you'll need to do so fairly soon. Regards and good luck, GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 19:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On December 8, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of Swindon, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hello Foxhill, and thanks for this very comprehensive article. It was very interesting.....You've made a great start here - Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Swindon Town F.C. seasons

An editor has nominated the article Swindon Town F.C. seasons for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swindon Town F.C. seasons. Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Swindon Town F.C. seasons during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] Speedway

I looked at your two league pages and they looked accurate and I will try and help keep them up to dat throughout the year.

As far as the template thing I 'made' I don't have the first clue as to how to do it properly so please feel free to hack it to bits and make it look good !!

I am not sure if I have replied in the right place and I apologise if I have got it wrong !!

I have made a page called Lakeside Hammers as the Srena Essex Hammers have changed their name. Please could you make the Arena Essex page point to the Lakeside one.

Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hammer1980 (talk • contribs) 17:40, 14 February 2007 UTC.

[edit] George Hunt

Hey there - as WP's resident Swindon Town fan I have a question which you might be best positioned to answer. I was about to create an article on the Arsenal footballer George Hunt, who played between 1937 and 1939 for Arsenal and was also a Spurs player. However I've found out there was also another separate George Hunt who played over 300 times for Swindon Town between 1948 and 1958 and I'm thinking of how to name the articles as a result. Arsenal's George Hunt played as an inside forward and Swindon's as a right-back (according to my PFA Player Records book) so I was thinking of naming the articles George Hunt (forward) and George Hunt (defender) respectively. I was wondering what your opinion would be on this? It'd be much appreciated Cheers. Qwghlm 15:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I would be OK with that. I notice the same type of article title has been used to disambig amongst others Ian Wright.
Swindon's George Hunt was born in 1922, I mention this as I've seen some disambig pages listing by, for example, George Hunt (footballer born 1922), George Hunt (footballer born 19xx) such as Andy Gray and James Walker. This can be a bit unwieldy but is a second option if the original doesn't work out.
Of course this means I'll have to shift my arse and write the Hunt article now.. - Foxhill 15:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Cheers. I hate disambiguating on birth date - people are more likely to remember a player for where he played and who he played for, not his year of birth. I've done the necessary moves and disambigs on the main George Hunt page and will get cracking on the Arsenal player's article in due course. Qwghlm 16:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cyril Demarne

Thanks with the help on citation, I think I'm getting the hang of it! I keep re-designing the In Memoriam page I've linked to (got a good AFS West Ham badge photo) the page doesn't print as seen, any ideas why?Dylanmills 00:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent changes to Swindon Town F.C.

Hi Foxhill, I was wondering if you could have a look at the recent changes to Swindon Town F.C. made by 156.56.171.43 listed as grammatical corrections. I am of the opinion that the changes do not improve the article and in some cases are detrimental, but I can't really simply undo them. I thought that you, as a major contributor to the page, would be a suitable person to ask for advice on whether to revert some or all of the edit in question. Cheers.

[edit] History of Swindon Town F.C.

Just a small note of appreciation for your work from a sometime Townender. (You’ll see that I have left a niggle about Liddington on the talk page.) Cheers! —Ian Spackman 12:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
