[edit] Le Tallec

Just out of interest what makes you think that Le Tallec is a midfielder? When he played for Sunderland or France U21s he played upfront as far as I'm aware. The only reason he's not really played as a striker for Liverpool is more because of competition than his natural position. He's a Bergkamp-type player in my eyes. Bergkamp isn't a midfielder. aLii 00:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I think he's more withdrawn than Bergkamp, a bit like Jari Litmanen who is also often considered a midfielder. I think it's debatable whether he's a midfielder or a forward - and I guess I am going on his appearances for Liverpool - but I think the term 'striker' is a misnomer, he's far from an out-and-out striker. I think in CM terms he'd be a AM/F C. 10:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LFC Squad

Heh, sorry about the edit conflict just now that resulted in my overwriting some of your edit; I noticed that you had to restore Medjani to the squad list, so just wanted to let you know that it wasn't an attempt to revert your edit, but rather a simple oversight! Seb Patrick 15:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I thought as much. He hasn't been the most memorable player... ArtVandelay13 15:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taller banner

I noticed that you changed the banner to the bordered one with the edit summary (taller banner as standard). I never realised that the banner was actually taller - this is a fault with Internet Explorer that can be fixed by removing the text cellpadding="0" from the second line. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I think the smaller banner (as intended) looks much better, and if there's no objection, it should be the standard version.  SLUMGUM  yap  stalk   14:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't realise it was a mistake. To be honest, I prefer the taller banner, it stands out more. I guess we'll see what people think. ArtVandelay13 15:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NFFC squad

I saw your tag on Gary Holt.

I'd like to create the same feature for Norwich City players. How do I do it?!?!?! --Dweller 11:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, follow Template_talk:Football squad2 start for instructions. ArtVandelay13 17:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Liverpool F.C. Reserves

The article on Liverpool F.C. Reserves has recently been nominated for deletion. I note that you have in the past contributed to the article, and was wondering whether you might participate in the debate over whether to keep it. I personally think that it is a useful place to keep information about the Reserve team which is notable in its own right, but may not be notable enough to include in the main Liverpool F.C. article without bloating it too much. I hope you'll find your way to supporting its continued existance. Cheers. Robotforaday 12:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seasons

Fair enough, I see your point about table width. If I were you and I wanted to reduce width I would abbreviate the entries in the "Division" column (like Arsenal F.C. seasons) and drop the Charity Shield column entirely, as it is not as important a competition as the rest. Qwghlm 23:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, you could also put a forced break between the words "Average" and "attendance" in the column header, to make that column narrower. Qwghlm 23:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Torsten Gütschow

Thank you for contributing this article! If you write more new articles about German footballers, please announce them at Portal:Germany/New article announcements. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 13:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

You might also be interested in WikiProject Germany. Best wishes, Kusma (討論) 07:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tube Line Template

I think it is a great idea but it will be quite big for some lines (eg: central) so a reduce in font size might be helpful but otherwise - go for it. Unisouth 08:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

can you shift this article to Steve Gohouri? To the comparison here the German version. 84.189.30.240 16:11, 28 December 2006 (CET)

[edit] your revert me

can you pls explain me why ? [1] --Jor70 23:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

External links on major articles like this are pretty contentious and shouldn't be added without discussion. Suggest it on Talk:Liverpool F.C. and see what people say. ArtVandelay13 23:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Dino Maamria

An editor has nominated the article Dino Maamria 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/Noureddine Maamria. Add four tildes like this ~~~~ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Dino Maamria 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. Jayden54Bot 13:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephan Fürstner

  • If you don't need a full name, why is it there to begin with?
  • Why add his career details for FC Bayern II? I don't think stats from the reserve side meets the notable criteria.
  • If fussballdaten.de does the job a lot better why not use it as a source then for the stats?
  • We both know that the youth system for Bayern contains more then just a reserve side. Kingjeff 17:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Bayern Munich has children as young as 8 or 9 in their youth system. You might want to look at Bayern Munich Junior Team. Why remove fussballdaten.de? It was under external links. Not under references.They play in the Regional Third Division, which is a high level of senior football. Well, this is still not a career for Bayern Reserves. We both know that every member of the reserves wants to play for the 1st team. For players with a middle name. Are you saying he doesn't have a middle name? Kingjeff 18:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FAID 3-11 March

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

Liverpool F.C. has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

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

Hi, seeing you are interested in football I invite you 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 17:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Márcio dos Santos Gaia

An editor has nominated Márcio dos Santos Gaia, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Márcio dos Santos Gaia and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. --Ng.j 20:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicates

Can you substitute on your subpages all svg-images for railwaydiagrams, which are duplicates, with the other one ? That will be nice. You can find them here. The filenames start with "BSicon" and contain the substring "STB" somewhere behind. Thank you. 84.150.215.245 11:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sortname

I noticed you mentioning {{Sortname}} in discussion of List of Premier League players. I'd never heard of it before, and have now implemented it in List of England national football team captains. Thanks.  Sʟυмgυм • т  c  20:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LFC

Hey, I suddenly realised that you took care of some comments in the Liverpool F.C. peer review. In general I think this is ready for WP:FA nomination. If you like, I'll do it, or you could, in either case I believe this article is very close to getting there. Let me know what you'd like to do (or not do!) and I'll respond accordingly! Best regards, The Rambling Man 22:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

Art, I have been impressed with your policing of LFC and overall contributions to Wikipedia and would like to nominate you for admin. Barfbagger 20:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough if you don't want to. Could you click on the link to your name in the above box and then decline where it says Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:. Barfbagger 04:40, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Jones (footballer born 1986)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Paul Jones (footballer born 1986), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Paul Jones (footballer born 1986) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Non-notable footballer


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Paul Jones (footballer born 1986), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liverpool v. Arsenal "rivalry"

I agree with your reversion on {{Liverpool F.C.}} and have done the same myself on {{Arsenal F.C.}} - though the two clubs have often fought for the same trophies there is little rivalry in the sense of Arsenal's against Tottenham or Chelsea, or Liverpool's against Everton or Man United. The whole Liverpool and Arsenal Football Rivalry is a pile of uncited POV and the comment on Talk:Liverpool and Arsenal Football Rivalry suggests the article creator is oblivious to WP:OWN, so I would suggest nominating for deletion. Your thoughts on the matter would be welcome. Qwghlm 20:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hans Juergen Doerner

Thanks for suggesting this redirect be deleted. However, if you could make this mistake, it's likely others could too, and a redirect hardly costs anything in terms of server resources, so I've decided against deleting it. Thanks again! Johnleemk | Talk 14:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CL Final kits

Good work on putting the kits into the articles. It's nice to have something decorative there, even if we can't have the club logos. PeeJay 00:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 European Super Cup Finall

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 2006 European Super Cup Finall, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 2006 European Super Cup Finall fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Created as a typo


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 2006 European Super Cup Finall, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate 2006 European Super Cup Finall itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

If you could make this typo, so could someone else; redirects are normally quite harmless, so it's best to leave them be. :) Johnleemk | Talk 19:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I have nominated this article for deletion on grounds of dubious notability (failing WP:BIO) in the event you would like to comment. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 21:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Player categorisation

The issue isn't whether he's a professional or not, though. The issue is whether he should be included in a category that explicitly states that it is for "footballers who have played for Manchester United", when he has not yet played for them. As Hargreaves has never played a game for United, but undoubtedly will in the near future, I have commented out the category until such time. - PeeJay 22:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I am paying attention, but if you would just look at the category and read the writing at the top, you will see that, as I said, it is for "footballers who have played for Manchester United". To use your example, if Ben Collett never played a game for United, which I don't think he did, then he should be removed from the category. - PeeJay 22:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Ok, let's hark back to the discussion they had at WP:FOOTY. Take Dietmar Hamann for example. He was at Bolton for less than a day before changing his mind and deciding that he wanted to join Manchester City. Should he be categorised as a Bolton player? (Yes, I know he's in the Bolton Wanderers F.C. players category, but let's be hypothetical here) Personally, I don't think Hamann should be categorised as a Bolton player, a) because he never played a game for them; and b) because he was only there for a day and, effectively, never wanted to be there in the first place.
Another example is the Premier League players category. There, they are much more specific about their qualification criteria. They say that, for a player to be included, they must have "appeared in at least one first-team league game in the English Premier League, which commenced play in 1992". So while the category may say "Premier League players", not every player who was contracted to a Premier League club is included. - PeeJay 22:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Well look, I see your point. I do disagree with you, but since I don't doubt that Hargreaves will make his United debut on Wednesday, I won't argue if you uncomment the category now. - PeeJay 22:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism of pokémon

A tag has been placed on Criticism of pokémon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Thanks so much for your contributions to the article. I'm not sure about how encyclopedic the kit pictures are. Clearly you do (!) Are the kits included in similar articles? --Dweller 16:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. --Dweller 16:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:University of Exeter new logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:University of Exeter new logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:16, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Staunton

The Steve Staunton article received heavy editing today by unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 02:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

He's only on loan until January so it's hardly worth the debate, but are you sure he wears Guylain on his shirt? I can't say I've been looking but did think it was Ndumbu-Nsungu. Although it does bring up a possible question. Would you put down their surname or their shirt name? E.g. Stelios at Bolton. Peanut4

[edit] Ludovic Quiston

Hi, I see you have moved this article from Ludovic Quiston (footballer) to Ludovic Quiston, but I do worry, because although it is clear that he is an international football and the information is there, I have often made the Ludovic Quiston page and some clever dickhead has just deleted it off, so this time I deceded to try making the article as Ludovic Quiston (footballer), do you think they will delete it off again?

On another note, I was wondering why there is not an LFC taskforce (unless I am being really stupid). It would seem to me, based on the example of Bayern Munich there would be enough articles for one. John Hayestalk 16:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Ah thanks, that explained it. Well I will look into setting one up. John Hayestalk 20:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, it has now been changed, all the talk pages affected will need to be saved before they are removed from the list. John Hayestalk 10:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Should all be ok now. By the way I really like User:ArtVandelay13/LFCEurope, why don't we move it to the main namespace? Clearly it needs more work as it is only some of the years, but it looks like a nice article. John Hayestalk 12:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] York players FLC

Thanks for your comments on the York City players FLC, which I have now dealt with. But, I was just wondering about your thinking behind loans and permament spells. If Jones' loan was, for example, made from 1996-1997, instead of 1997-1998, merging loan and permament years wouldn't work. This would be counted as two spells, wouldn't it?

Hello there, ArtVandelay13. Just popping in to wish you a well-deserved happy Russian National Unity Day! Love, Yeanold Viskersenn 14:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyTheTiger (talkcontribs) 18:57, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm sorry I didn't notify you about nominating the category for deletion, and for that I apologise.

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Stephen Darby

I have nominated Stephen Darby, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Darby. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. John Hayestalk 02:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Just to add to the automated message, I don't really want to do this, but these are the rules currently, hopefully we can resurrect these articles soon. John Hayestalk 02:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I hope you didn't leave the taskforce because of these deletions? John Hayestalk 23:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Well I'm sorry if that tipped that balance, you will be a loss to the taskforce and the project as a whole. I have to agree that the new rules are pretty stupid, but unfortunately that is what I have to work with, and I didn't want to appear biased towards LFC articles, especially as I had been accused of marking non notable Liverpool articles as supported by the project. I intend to resurrect them as soon as they meet whatever the rules will be. :( John Hayestalk 23:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Well thanks for all your work, if there is still anything in your userspace which might be useful to the taskforce let me know. John Hayestalk 23:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Thomas Kraft

A tag has been placed on Thomas Kraft requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
