User talk:Steve Farrell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 16:28, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Boys

I would ask you to reconsider your vote for deletion as this article has been expanded. PatGallacher 17:56, 2005 July 16 (UTC)

[edit] Mythology

I just stumbled across a remarkably good piece on the interrelationship between Mesopotamian myth and Gensis in the artilce Adam and Eve - see the section called Mythologies or some such. PiCo 12:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alchemy POV

Well, Alchemy is obviously POV, very POV..... but I removed that same sentence before and Jorge Stolfi had an absolute shitfit..... be prepared for a fight, and let me know if you need help.

The guy can shitfit all he wants, that sentence shouldn't be there. Besides being POV, it's also wrong. --Stevefarrell 17:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
But, I should mention that if you can properly cite things he can't really stop you from fixing the POV problem.
KV 20:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Or, alternatively, he can't really stop me from removing the POV sentence because POV sentences are against Wikipedia policy. I don't need to cite anything, it basically said 'Alchemy is obviously stupid, and should be pointed and laughed at'. Though if I have to, I will. --Stevefarrell 21:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Steve mcclaren.jpg

Warning sign This file may be BALEETED!.

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve mcclaren.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Note that any unsourced and untagged images may 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. ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 22:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Added source info. Copyright paranoia is such fun.--Stevefarrell 23:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry!

I wasn't aware I had! Superlinus 06:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

No worries. It wasn't exactly hard to add myself back. I'm sure it was just a mistake. Hope to see you in the edit history of some football articles! --Stevefarrell 10:28, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
I present to you your first barnstar for your hard work on the Your Sinclair article! — Wackymacs 13:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Hurrah! --Stevefarrell 13:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glory hunters

Other Wikipedia articles are not necessarily reliable sources for information (see the organisation's own disclaimer) and in any case Chelsea are mentioned in one add-on sentence. There is also no mention of glory hunters in the Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United articles, who are all cited on the glory hunter page. Assertions like "rival supporters have accused..." (which sounds weasly to me), and "who have converted to supporting the club due to its success, rather than because of any real passion for the team itself, and who would stop supporting the team if it stopped being so succesful" are very bold statements and need sources. Given that you added them, surely you ought to provide it. Thirdly, I'm not sure the inclusion of fans' opinions of other sets of fans is a good idea generally, given the sort of mud that is routinely thrown among football fans. As a Liverpool fan, I'm you'd agree that rival fans have accused them of plenty over the years. It doesn't mean those accusations belong here, though. SteveO 18:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


Fair enough. I noted from your user page that you were a Chelsea fan, and so I'm sure you get tagged as a 'glory hunter' all the time by people, even though you probably supported them while they were in division two. Most football fans are glory hunters in one sense or another - even Watford fans want to see their team win the Premiership and are probably angry that they're right at the bottom.

I actually looked for some impartial sources about this, but then I decided it wasn't all that important after all. --Stevefarrell 19:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Steve mcclaren.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve mcclaren.jpg. 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. 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 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 ☠ 17:53, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

The image does not fail fair use rationale. It is used in one article, the article about Steve McClaren, to illustrate the subject. It is properly sourced, with a link to the source. There is no need to replace it. --Stevefarrell 18:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SFX

It seems improper to include her former name in there - they no longer do in the magazine itself, and it is irrelevant to the magazine article what her name was. If she was notable enough to have an article about herself, it would be included, but why for the magazine? You go to the article for info about the magazine, and you get information about someone's former name - it's a bit odd! It's also kind of personal to her, so including biographical information about a living person in the article feels wrong. Stephenb (Talk) 16:49, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 19:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
