[edit] Adding citations

Hi, On Talk:Solsbury Hill you asked about adding citations when you removed all the "fact" tags on Solsbury Hill. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to do this - if you are unable to back up these facts we need to add the tags back in again. If you need help let me know.— Rod talk 15:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wembley

Can you prove, via a published source, that Wembley is a five star stadium? If not, then you are merely crystal balling, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. – PeeJay 10:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

See here for the most recent published list of five star stadia. – PeeJay 10:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
It's been accepted by the community that this list is official. Regardless, it's the best we have to go on at the minute. Believe me, I have tried emailing UEFA asking for an updated stadia list to be released, but they have so far not replied. – PeeJay 10:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
It is not your place to say whether the stadia list is wrong or not. By all means, express your opinion, but as it stands, community consensus is against you. The community decided to use that list as a reliable source and, until a better one comes along, we will continue to use it. By the way, can you tell me which Champions League final Wembley is bidding to host? – PeeJay 11:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Look, it's not up to me to prove that Wembley isn't a five star stadium. It should be up to you to prove that it is! – PeeJay 15:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Assuming that just because Wembley hasn't been ruled out of the running for the 2011 Champions League final means that it is a five star stadium is the very definition of original research. Gaining five star status is a big deal for a stadium, especially one of the stature of Wembley, so you would assume that there would be a press release somewhere if five star status had been given. Furthermore, why have you not considered that it may take a few months for the assessment committee to evaluate the stadium after the inspection? And what about the possibility that Wembley failed the most recent inspection, but UEFA gave them an extra few months to get everything up to scratch before another inspection? Basically, there are many reasons why we should not assume that Wembley is a five star stadium, so please stop introducing poorly referenced information to this encyclopaedia. – PeeJay 00:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page using

As I could see what you did to PeeJay's talk page, you are using the talk page as a forum. Seems you are using "new section" function when you were sending new message. Try using "edit" instead of using new section please. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 11:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Cannot! No one except under owner of the user talk page's instruction, can remove any old discussion. Otherwise, it would be considered vandalism. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 02:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giggs for Temporary (talk • contribs)
