[edit] Athlete stub articles

Hi!

Glad to see you're creating new articles about athletes. While you've been tagging many of those articles with {{bio-stub}} (and the effort is appreciated), you might consider using the more precise {{athlete-stub}} tag instead. The articles should be more likely to receive care and attention from appropriately specialized editors.

Happy editing. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 18:12, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Please close the brackets of birth dates after hockey plaeys' names. eg. Wayne Gretzky (born June 5, 1965). Simple, but crucial to do. Harro5 02:23, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Manchester United/History of Manchester United

Hi,

I noticed you'd been working on Man United-related pages and could do with your opinion on something.

The history section was split out of the page last year (I think) but someone then wrote another history section in the main page. Both pages are now well over the recommended maximum size for a Wikipedia article, and it's getting to the stage where I suspect people are editing them without reading them all the way through (which would explain why the Glazer takeover is mentioned twice in Manchester United, in roughly the same amount of detail each time.

So, my idea is to create new pages for different eras in United's history, merge the relevant bits of Alex Ferguson, History of Manchester United and the History section of Manchester United into each new page and put summaries of each new page on Manchester United, with comments asking people not to make the summaries too long. The new articles would have titles like:

  • Manchester United pre-1945
  • Manchester United 1945-1968
  • Manchester United 1968-1986
  • Manchester United 1986-present

I think something like this is necessary to keep the pages manageable, but obviously don't want to make such big changes to other people's work without hearing what people think first. Please let me know what you think, at the Manchester United talk page.

[edit] One Line Entries

Just something to think about. Adding a bunch of one line entries is considered bad form because it causes more work as often if something is only one line it gets deleted because its not considered important enough if it only has one line entered. Another thing to consider with it is lots of people use the red links (indicating no article) as a way to know what they should work on and if you have created a tiny one line article they don't know that it needs to be worked on. Would be a great help to add a little more detail than just one sentence like I noticed in some of the ABA team articles. Anyways great to see someone new in the community that is so enthusiatic! Keep it up! --Djsasso 22:32, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Team_Hawaii

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Team_Hawaii, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.--Parker007 19:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
