[edit] Manchester United F.C.

Hi there. As you may have noticed, I have been working extensively on this article, so if you need a hand with helping to get it to FA status, feel free to ask me anything. PeeJay 18:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.
I've done what I felt was obvious that needed doing. I can see you've done some quite extensive copy-editing of the article. On my to-do list is to slash the stadium section, but this will take time as mentioning the old stadium is important and then deciding what makes the cut will take a bit of time. Also some extra sourcing is needed for some of the old sections, although obviously this will be quite difficult in places as I don't think Ernest Magnall was too familiar with the internet.
With reference to FA status, once those two issues have been addressed we should make a few comparisons with clubs that DO have featured status (chelsea, arsenal, everton, gillingham, sheffield wednesday should be enough), and if sourcing and formatting is at least as good as some of these then there is basis for asking for another consideration. In terms of comments on history ours seems VERY similarly structured to Gillingham, and let's face it, we have slightly more history to cram into that space ;)
Any other thoughts? BeL1EveR 18:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
That's pretty much what was on my list too. I had expanded the stadium section, but I do agree that it could use a bit of a pruning. Other than that, I was going to just carry on plodding through the tips Oldelpaso left on the Peer Review page.
A lot of the stuff I used to pad out the history section was from The Official Illustrated History of Manchester United. I guess I should have sourced everything as I went along, huh? :D PeeJay 19:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

The sources will exist so it's just a matter of finding them. But if anything the history section is too long. Admittedly our history has been more incidental than most, so you can justify it being a bit longer than most but if you look at Arsenal's page in particular you'll see what I mean. We have more on the pre-war section than they do on their history section... and pre-war they were more successful than us! I don't want to make sweeping changes because I've been here five minutes and haven't got the foggiest what the consensus is, but if you want to get featured status I think it needs addressing.

That doesn't mean to say "I don't want to change because of consensus, I'll leave it to you and let you take the wrap", but how would a massive change like condensing the history into five or six paragraphs be taken? I mean, there would still be the main history article (which in my opinion could possibly then be remerged into one article, but again my opinion isn't a consensus).

[edit] Pierluigi Collina

Hi. Thanks for attempting to reference the citation tag which was added by me to the above article. Unfortunately, your source does not answer the citation, due to Answers.com being a "Wikipedia mirror" parsing project i.e. some of the information contained on its servers is obtained verbatim from Wikipedia (and the Collina info certainly is - compare it). Therefore the referencing value 'implodes', I'm afraid. For this reason, I have reverted your recent edit. Thanks, and I hope the reliable source can eventually be found. Ref (chew)(do) 21:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

The new reference is spot-on - well done. Keep up the good work - I wish I could find time to source some of the citations in the referee articles, but I always seem to be doing other things in Wikipedia. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 14:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks and the same to you, re: the quality editing. I'm off to Greece for just over a week, so best wishes, and keep an eye on all the football and referee articles if you can - the vandals aren't necessarily on holiday at the same time as me! Bye. Ref (chew)(do) 22:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isle of Portland FAC

As per your useful comments, I have added notes and changed the text for the 2005 estimate, updated house prices for 2006, and changed the Climate table on its Template page. Sorry about the slight delay - work! I've looked at the other figures too, and they also needed updated, so I did. Thanks for noticing that, I wouldn't have otherwise!

  • Thank you, I certainly will ask you if I need a Peer Review! Rossenglish 10:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Apprentice (UK) FAC

Thank you for your comments. We have made changes based upon them. Please can you visit the page to confirm if you support or oppose? Thanks, Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 14:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC).

Hello, just wondering why you added your support to the article and then removed it. Is there something you think still needs improving? Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 15:56, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
OK. I've extended those short sections. Does this change your view? Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 15:14, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manchester United F.C. seasons

Hey man, thanks for commenting on the Peer Review for this article. I really appreciated it. I have since added a couple of replies to your comment, and I now feel that the Peer Review has run its course. I will close it in a day or two, but if you wish to add another reply to it before then, please do so. - PeeJay 23:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

This article is now a Featured List candidate. Please feel free to leave your comments at the candidacy page. - PeeJay 01:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Cheers for supporting my attempt to get Manchester United F.C. seasons to FL status. I hope more people will view the candidacy the way you have. I might just have a chance then :-D - PeeJay 19:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gabriel Heinze

Re: The section on the transfer saga took up more space than his actual playing history! Condensed to one paragraph and added a fact template. Well done! -- Alexf(t/c) 15:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belgian people

Hey, if an article appears to be an obvious redirect, go ahead and do it! You don't need to suggest a deletion for it. Don't worry, if you muck things up or someone gets angry, things can always be undone. I've redirected it, in this case. --UsaSatsui 03:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix

A month or so back, you made a comment when the Malaysia article was up for FA status, stating that it needed a copy-edit. I was wondering if you could give the article a copy-edit, as it is currently up for PR, and am preparing it for another stab at FA. Many thanks in advance, Davnel03 17:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll leave you to get on with it for a bit! Any problems, just leave a message. Davnel03 20:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
The copy-edit looks great so far! Just one thing that I dislike. I dislike the qualifying section. I feel the sub-like heading (Q1, Q2, Q3 and penalties) splits the text up too much and makes it harder to read in terms of flow. I've also left 2 internal comments in the background part. Davnel03 09:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that. That looks OK for the Barrichello note down by the classification, I can't see anything wrong in doing that. The thing about Button being overtaken, yes that is correct, the reason you stated. Anyway, as a result of a superb copy-edit (even if it's not finished yet!), I present you with:

For a truly superb copy-edit. Hopefully we can work and get this article to FA. Thank you! Davnel03 19:54, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
The comment you made about post-race section. Hell yeah, if you can find more details to make a new section, please do!! It would definately help the article. Davnel03 18:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of nationality transfers in football (soccer)

I have requested that the List of nationality transfers in football (soccer), an article you proposed for deletion some time ago, be undeleted and sent to AFD.

[edit] Userbox Change

Hi there!

The userbox, User:Tyty1234/thug/highscore has changed. There are some variables that needed to put in instead of just a simple " | " after the userbox link. Anyway, if you want to change it and make it look better, view the documentation to follow how to fix the userbox.

Thank you.
