[edit] Article creation
I have been looking through the list of unwatched pages (available only to administrators) and found 'supplementary' football leagues. I see that you created this but were not watching it. You may want to go to your preferences and under the "editing" tab turn on "Add pages you edit to your watchlist". This will enable you to keep an eye out for any edits that are made to pages you create and help to revert vandalism. If you do decide to turn it on can you please drop me a note on my talk page so I can cut down my excessive watchlist (6000+). Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Hi there - I noticed that the page you created, Scottish Football Federation was uncategorised. I think you may have attempted to add a category but did not wikify it correctly. I have added it to the Category - 'Defunct Scottish football competitions'. If you look at the history of the page you can see what I did. It would also have been useful to add a reference or two. The page is in danger of being tagged as lacking sources and possibly being removed if you don't, which would be a pity. Good luck with your research. Ben MacDui 19:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
