[edit] El-Aaiun

Hi, I was the one who made the clumsy move of Laayoune to El-Aaiun. Do you know how to do this in a way so as to preserve the edit history, but still rename the article? For reasons explained on the talk page some time ago, I (and others) feel that the French transcription is not to prefer. Arre 17:59, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks. Arre 11:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template change

Why change

{{ROMf}} to {{ROUf}}

(Template:ROMf to Template:ROUf), when they look identical on articles such as Football World Cup 2006 (qualification)? Am I missing something? Thanks.

You can leave a message on my talk page. IanManka 05:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Oh, okay, I didn't realize that ROU was the proper abbreviation for ROM. Thanks for editing, and keep up the good work! IanManka 11:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "+ rep"

Hey man, I noticed you edited a whole lot of pages on my watchlists. Good job, very respectable. How do you manage to edit 6 hours into one day? --Hurricane Angel 05:59, 16 December 2005 (UTC)


Hey! Why did you remove Scotland from the list of countries? It has had a Parliament since 1999 and should be in the list. I've re-added it. Thanks. Iainmacl 16:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA World Cup

Hello. The section you've written, FIFA World Cup#Selection of hosts, is quite informative (and I just like it). But if we are going to make it a featured article, references will be required. Do you have a couple of links at hand that could be cited? Conscious 16:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've come up with some links. Don't know if the sources are really credible, though. Conscious 20:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Mexico.svg

You should not convert the file Flag_of_Mexico.png to a .svg file without asking for the permission of the author of the flag, which is Juan Manuel Gabino. Please do not use the .svg file until you get that permission.

AlexCovarrubias 09:33, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Hey I got the authorization of Juan Manuel Gabino to convert the PNG file of the Flag of Mexico to an SVG file. The bad new is that I don't know how to do it and you converted file was excellent. Can you please send it to me? Or upload it again? I would appreciate it a lot. My e-mail is soygris@hotmail.com thanks a lot.

[edit] László Kiss

Hey. I noticed you have been fixing the links to László Kiss (footballer) contained here, and just realized you have created the article. Guess what: The official FIFA match report says he was a starter! This throws out the main thing for which he is famous (besides fastest hat trick). I know he was a substitute and that the FIFA report is fucked up, but it will be a problem when citing the official source is needed. What are your thoughts? --ChaChaFut 01:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I found a FIFA article with the correct info. --ChaChaFut 01:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISO 3166-1 alpha-3

I think the question to ask is: why doesn't {{USA}} 'n friends not use the ISO name when they are named after the ISO code? Fix the problem, not the usage, is what I'm really suggesting. Cburnett 19:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Not putting any blame here, but you didn't drop me a question on my talk page (specifically me because I was the sole editor who switched to the flag templates) so I didn't see your comment nor your revision until I went to reference the list today, ergo my question here and now. Which ones were incorrect? I'd hate to see my work reverted because of a few out of the many that were incorrect. Cburnett 19:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enlargement of the United Nations

Good job! This is a very fine and much-needed article. Thanks for adding it. As a sidenote, I changed it to keep in line with other such articles (e.g. Enlargement of the European Union.) Keep up the good work. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 20:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:SndrAndrss

Hi again. Rather an unusual request; the above named user has edited quite a few articles that you and I are intrerested in. He also edits articles on athletics. Most of his edits are beneficial or harmless, but he has also attracted a few warnings, recently from me, for vandalism, or, let's be charitable and say very careless edits. Will you keep an eye on him (or conceivably her), and let me know if anything looks funny? I don't want to have to block him, and he seems to be doing better, but he is completely non-communicative with other editors, which makes it very hard to gauge his intentions. Thanks. --Guinnog 00:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] link to Bundesliga

Hello, when you want to link to the article about the Bundesliga, please do not link to Bundesliga, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Bundesliga (football) by writing out [[Bundesliga (football)|Budesliga]]. Regards, Jeff3000 05:56, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belgian names

After noticing some of your edits on articles I'm watching, I also noticed you sometimes edit articles with the comment: Belgian names capitalize "Van". Could you please give me the source of that knowledge, since it is wrong and should be corrected. The rules are actually as follows in Belgium: the last name of a person is written in the way it appears on their identity card. If that card says George Van Somewhere, then "Van" is always with a capital V, however if it says George van Somewhere, then the v is never capitalized. In the Netherlands, a neighbour country of Belgium, Dutch is also the official language but the rules there are different, there the name is always written with a small v when the first name is mentioned, as in George van Somewhere and G. van Somewhere. However if the first name is not mentioned, then the last name always starts with a capital V, as in Mister Van Somewhere or Dr. Van Somewhere.

An exception to this rule is the french version of "Van" (which actually means "From" in English), which is "De or D'". In Belgium the passport is always checked for the correct spelling, just like the normal case, but in the Netherlands it is always spelled with a small d, even when the first name is not mentioned: Sir de Something or Mr. de Something. The dutch wiki has an article about this, so should you understand it, have a peek here. --Pelotastalk 23:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA World Cup Referees

Hi, I've added a list of guys who have officiated at World Cup Finals at FIFA World Cup Final match officials and am just adding to it as I go. If you've got any info on the different chaps who been selected to represent their nation at the event can you add stuff there. --Steve bloomer --

Thanks for the Radulescu stuff - have you anything AT ALL on Georges Balway / Balvay or Thomas Balway / Balvay? He's the only Frenchman who refereed at the 1930 World Cup.

Hi. I'm having real difficulties with the reference to Thomas Balway the referee. I have linked it via the entry for Jean Langenus, but it appears that the above-named was actually a person called John Balway. I don't know how to change the initial entry : it reads Thomas Balway. Can you help?

Cheers, Steve bloomer.

[edit] 1954 World Cup Final

Not quite sure why the format I typed in that included all of the information regarding the match (i.e. match stats) was converted to what we have now.

I have edited others on the Football (soccer) matches link and would have thought that the format should be uniform on all of them for the purposes of information transfer. Any ideas?

[edit] Kevin Kuranyi

Why do the accents need to be dropped for category indexes? Kingjeff 02:17, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't see where it is. I think it's just pretty stupid making a minor change like it and it's incorrect too. Anyways, I'm not going to make a bid deal about it. Kingjeff 02:29, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Akoto in WC squad 2006

Dear Sir,

I have edited "Éric Akoto" in "WC squads 2006" from "Admira/Wacker" to "no club". Some time later you have edited back.

I am from Austria and I know, that the contract between Akoto and Admira/Wacker ended before Christmas 2005. So he hasn't played a single game for Admira/Wacker in 2006.

Akoto was allowed to train with the Austrian club SV Schwechat (play in third highest class), but was not allow to play for them!

In July 2006 he find a new club with Grazer AK.

Thank you and best regards!

[edit] 1954 FIFA World Cup squads#Scotland

Hi there. According to John Rafferty's 100 Years of Scottish Football (Pan, 1973) only 13 players actually travelled to Switzerland in the Scotland squad: Martin, Cunningham, Aird, Docherty, Davidson, Cowie, McKenzie, Fernie, Mochan, Brown, Ormond, Hamilton and Anderson. I wasn't sure what the best way include this information was - to include without a reference, or to input a traditional book reference which might ruin the appearance of the page. Any thoughts? Caledonian Place 13:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Well it doesn't look as awkward as I thought it might but feel free to adapt it. Caledonian Place 22:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Right, this could be tricky. Obviously the eleven who played in both games traveled, while both John Rafferty (who was a journalist at The Scotsman at the time} and Jim Brown agree that Hamilton replaced Johnstone and both also agree that 13 traveled.
Rafferty's book states " (manager) Beattie would only take 13 players to the finals and two of them were goalkeepers." Interestingly, Rafferty doesn't actually state Anderson went; I assumed that from his 2 goalkeepers statement, which may make Brown appear more accurate.
However, Brown states "Players such as George Young were ruled out as Rangers refused permission for any of their players to go to Switzerland as they were required for a club tour of the USA" while Rafferty states that the reason for his non-inclusion was that he was unfit at the original time of selection and that the selectors had decided to stick to one original squad. There are quotations from chief selector Tom Reid, although not specifically about Young, which may suggest Rafferty has greater detail, and as a result, greater knowledge.
It also seams strange that such an experienced player as Bobby Evans would travel and not get a game ahead of relatively inexperienced player like Jimmy Davidson or Doug Cowie, especially after a defeat in the first game.
To be honest, its difficult to tell and probably needs a third source to arbitrate. I will try asking at Scottishleague.net, a great Scottish football historians site. Caledonian Place 13:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Brown is right and Rafferty wrong. See here. The user "Scottish" is David Ross, a respected and published Scottish football historian. Will change the article and include the link to the Evening Telegraph. Caledonian Place 14:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FRY

Thanks for expanding the note on Yugoslavia at List of United Nations member states! The book I read only said the FR of Yugoslavia was expelled, but provided no more details than that. - Thanks, Hoshie 05:42, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1950 Sweden squad

Hi. I noticed that back in September you removed Sven Jonasson and Bengt Berndtsson from the Swedish team. I was wondering what sources you have from which you were able to determine their removal. I cannot seem to find this information. Libro0 21:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The reason I left in a lot of names in for the early World Cups was because I was actually doing the reverse, that is looking for a reason/source that they should not be listed. I was trying to make sure that even though a player did not play or even get on the final squad that he was not an alternate or pre-selected and then dropped for some reason. As for the Hungarian player Somlay, User Gabute is tracking down his first name. So that may be a few days. Libro0 00:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your work cleaning up Pablo Bengoechea. You did an excellent job.

[edit] Francisco Carrasco

You recently placed a prod tag on the above whilst also creating the entry on AfD. I replaced the prod tag with the appropriate afd tag, assuming that is what you intended. Now, those arriving at the article will be led to the relevant discussion on AfD by clicking on the link shown.

Please note that PROD and AFD are independent processes for deleting an article, kindly refer to the links for further information. Ohconfucius 09:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ignacio Tréllez (Trelles?)

Hey Chanheigeorge. Great work as usual. I have a question: What prompted you to move this page to the spelling with the accent and "z" at the end? Although I personally agree with it and I think that it is the correct spelling of that name (having Spanish as my first language), his surname is Trelles as far as FIFA and the FEMEXFUT are concerned. Whatever is correct, I feel tempted to include a note in the article about the wrong version being also used. Thanks in advance for your response. --ChaChaFut 03:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Hello. I just wanted to ask if the coach's name in FIFA World Cup squad templates should be full or just surname? (I have recently created some) Thank you. - Darwinek 14:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Professional level indeed

You have created an article about Edmund Twórz in appalling English. Even if you had copied it from somewhere (which I suspect is not the case, as he is a rather obscure pre-war player), you are bound to correct it. Such behavior might be acceptable to a newbie, but I am dismayed to find it in experienced Wikipedians who claim good or even "professional" knowledge of English. Shame on you!

The preceding unsigned comment, which was not only rude but also erroneous since it was somebody else who created the article, was added by 83.23.46.235 (talk) 21:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Namgung Do

could you please revert the article name? (from Nam Kung-Do to Namgung DO).

Namgung is a well-known Korean surname (eventhough not as frequent as Kims, Lees or Parks).


[edit] Rafael García

I don't know why you made this useless disambiguation (I intend to have it changed back), but could at least fix the links?

Why do that move in the first place? People looking for an obscure soccer player would type Rafael Torres since that is his name. There is only 1 Rafael García on Wikipedia. TJ Spyke 21:58, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mito as uni town

Hi. Good catch on that one! I hadn't even noticed the categorization. This is definitely NOT a university town! Cheers, from Mito! --RJCraig 02:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] University Towns

While I doubt Pretoria can be regarded as a University Town. Bloemfontien probably is. At least to the same extent as Pietermaritzburg, Durham and York the city derives a substantial amount of its existance from the presence of two South African Universities. The citation:

in all cases are so dubbed because the educational institution(s) presence pervades economic and social life. Many local residents may be employed by the university, many businesses cater primarily to the university, and indeed the students population may outnumber the local population outright.

While the gown population does not outnumber the town population at this point the prevailing ethos remains. Paul Hjul 16:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nelson, British Columbia

Why did you place Nelson in the category of University Towns? Have you ever been to Nelson? It is certainly not a University Town. It seems maybe you are running some sort of script to modify this category in several articles and did this one without researching it? Rewand 03:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Hello. Well, it depends. Maybe not. As far as I know cat. Czechoslovak footballers includes only national team players, Soviet one should include such, too. Point is what will happen if such "XY international footballers" would be created. You know, which footballers will be then categorized under "Czechoslovak footballers". I think it is pointless to include there all people born in Czechoslovakia or Soviet Union, respectively, as all contemporary footballers were born there. So I propose cleanup of (mainly the Soviet one) to include only footballers who played for the national team and notice on the top of the category page, that it is designed for inclusion of national team players.

Fact is that most of articles about CS and USSR footballers on Wikipedia, are about footballers who played for the national team. Maybe in the future, when there will be more players from that eras without national team record, then it should be split. - Darwinek 08:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Sub-Categories

No, I will not. Since they are subcategory, they must be under subcategory. General practice is wrong. They don't need to be in the category:X footballers. - KRBN 13:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1950 US squad

Regarding Antonello Valentini: I tried to determine if this was an error. I don't know where Antonello came from but Valentini resembled most closely an Ed Valentine who played for the US at that period. Re Frank Moniz: Like Ed Valentine, Moniz played for the US in that period also but they also both played for Fall River Ponta Delgada. From what I was told there were two tryouts for the 1950 US team. One was St. Louis and the other New York. Those people I am told were at the tryouts and were possibly named as alternates. Between Helmut Demucke, Antonello Valentini, and Frank Moniz only Moniz appears to free of errors. I have not been able to find the other two anywhere. Libro0 21:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear: Chanheigeorge ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

[edit] Martin Hoffmann (luthier)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Martin Hoffmann (luthier), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Martin Hoffmann. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 00:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, if Afrikaans would yield SA, ZA must be from Dutch. I didn't realize that. Ta4fx. Thecurran 12:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kelly Youga

So, it seems you're 66% right. I've searched for the official match reports of the three "Youga's games": 16 October 2006 Fulham-Carlton, 24 February 2007 Charlton-West Ham, 18 March 2007 Charlton-Newcastle. As you can see, the first match is missing. Plus, I've found another website who says that Youga played 1 match and was send to Bradford City in January, so he may have played the match vs Fulham... --necronudist 10:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mixed team categories

Hi, do you really think the "mixed team" categories are really necessary? I perceive the "mixed team" designation as a retroactive book-keeping "country code" by the IOC so that medal totals would balance. Certainly those athletes didn't really compete as a team other than with the other partner(s) in their specific events. I think it is a bit of overkill for these categories to exist. Thanks, Andrwsc 00:43, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sergei Gotsmanov

You may care to note that I have created an article about Sergei Gotsmanov who was one of the 1988 UEFA European Football Championship players previously without an article. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo 07:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they are the same person and I've added in everything I know about him, which isn't much. Ironically, I went to five RailHawks games this season, but never made the connection.Mohrflies 13:59, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Notability of Andrzej Fischer

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Andrzej Fischer, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Andrzej Fischer seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Andrzej Fischer, 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.

[edit] Regarding criteria for List of foreign Premier League players

Hi! Criteria are criteria...just conventions. I don't agree with you simply 'cause other comparable lists I wrote (Serie A foreigners, Liga foreigners) use my "original" criteria. However, you are doing a great job keeping the page updated and you are de facto mantaining it, so I think you should decide for whatever you think is right! P.S.: I really appreciate your works, expecially the World Cups' squads! They're my passion! I would build up a wiki just for them :-P --necronudist (talk) 22:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, I update the Serie A list after every matchday (I'm Italian), and the Liga's list every 6 months, but you're doing a great job with the Premier League list. Plus, I've got a database where I collect World Cup players' infos since...something like 10 years :-) but it's really difficult to find any 1930-1950 infos, 'cause I don't know any research book about that period. I think the only solution is to find newspapers of the period. --necronudist (talk) 09:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Lee R. Martin This is what we call a "cut and paste move," and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. – PeeJay 11:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lee Martin

No, I think it would be best to use Lee Martin (footballer born 1987), Lee Martin (footballer born February 1968) and Lee Martin (footballer born September 1968), since those players aren't commonly known by their full names. – PeeJay 20:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Using "defender" and "goalkeeper" are no good as those positions are not specific to football. Other sports have positions called "defender" and "goalkeeper" too. – PeeJay 22:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mendieta

i have change Mendieta as he is still on the Book of Middlesbrough and is still a PREMIER LEAGUE Player. he might play and he might not..

[edit] FIFA World Cup

Sorry about that, I thought I had left those in. I didn't intend to remove all of your edits. I removed the federations as they are all found in the wikilink, and is not really relevant to the article on the World Cup. I removed the stuff about Pele because I felt it was glorifying him aboive other people who have played in 4 world Cups. Whether he should be glorified or not is another question, just not in a neutral encyclopedia article. I hope that clarifies it, and sorry for any offense caused. Woody (talk) 23:55, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kanchelskis and Yuran

Hey, I'm impressed by your interest in soccer, but trust me there is a reason why I did not include those two of them in the list. Beside them there some few others who prefered to play for Russia over Ukraine. On the international arena the only contribution they've made for their country of origin was the challenge by playing elsewhere and continuing to refuse on contributing now out of the principle. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, the thing is that those ones actually participated in at least a single official game for Ukraine, unlike Kanchelskis, Yuran, and Dobrovolskiy (who was born in Odessa oblast). Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 04:57, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Walter Kollmann

A tag has been placed on Walter Kollmann 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. PookeyMaster (talk) 06:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Johnson (American footballer)

As requested, the above has been deleted. Please note that there is an alternative template you can use where there has only been one author who has made constructive edits to a page and who wants that page to be deleted {{db-author}}. Thanks! GBT/C 12:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portugal at the 1984 EC

There's much confusion about who was the second goalkeeper for Portugal at the 1984 EC. Many sources say Francisco Silva, many others Jorge Martins. Have you got an "ultimate" source? --necronudist (talk) 09:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

AFAIK UEFA listed only lineups, and Francisco Silva/Jorge Martins didn't play (you can retrieve them playing with the Wayback Machine and Google cache, I checked today morning). My sources are a pair of Portuguese friends and many websites provided by them:
  • Vedeta ou Marreta, a complete Benfica blog. In the tag you can find França 84, plus is written Foi um dos escolhidos por Fernando Cabrita, António Morais, Toni e José Augusto para representar Portugal no Europeu de Futebol realizado em França em 1984. (was selected with [...] to represent Portugal in the 1984 European Championship), plus a comment say Ainda foi o terceiro guarda-redes do Euro-84 (he was the third goalkeeper at Euro-84). I've asked the author of the blog and he kindly answered that:

    "I believe some sources mistake him for a certain "Francisco Silva" because of an article in wikipedia, but the truth is that there wasn't even then any Francisco Silva playing goalie in the portuguese top league! Incidentally, Jorge Martins, even though he was called for Euro '84 and later Mexico '86, never got a full cap (!)."

In fact, the only Francisco Silva reference my Portuguese friends' found is this: but he retired after 1955-56 season.
  • ZeroZero.pt, main Portuguese football website, where you can notice in the right part of the page, at the end of his career, the indication that he took part at 1986 WC and Euro-84.

I'm waiting for a book source from one of my friends, but I think you can easily guess Jorge Martins took part and not "Francisco Silva". :-) --necronudist (talk) 21:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

No :-) his fullname is Jorge Manuel Martins da Silva. I've reverted your reversion citing the ZeroZero.pt source. --necronudist (talk) 09:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ján Kozák (footballer born 1954)

Hi, I noticed you moved Ján Kozák to Ján Kozák (footballer born 1980). Please could you tell me where you found out about the footballer born in 1954? Thanks! --Jameboy (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Glendenning

Hi, I have been working on an article on the 1912 FA Cup Final and I have been creating articles for the players who took part. I have been using a number of contemporary sources who rever to the one of the Barnsley Half Backs as Bob Glendinning, however it is clear that from the reference in your article that he and his descendants spell his name Glendenning. I propose to add the content and info box from my article (with the spelling corrected) to your article and create a redirect. Any comments? --Gmac101 (talk) 22:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA World Cup

Regarding the ongoing dispute on FIFA World Cup please see Talk:FIFA World Cup#Fully protected. I have now fully protected the page until you come to an agreement about the page.

[edit] Cardiff City F.C.

It plays in the English football system, so for me it's English also if it is based in Wales. However, this should be discussed in the WP:FOOTBALL. --necronudist (talk) 12:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

It's yet another matter of criteria. For me, the criterium should be where the club plays. In this case, England. Let's discuss it :-) --necronudist (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aurel Ţicleanu

A tag has been placed on Aurel Ţicleanu, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. 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 article 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.

[edit] David Burrows (footballer) etc

Regarding the hatnotes you added to David Burrows (footballer) etc, according to WP:NAMB, these article names are not ambiguous. If someone was interested in David Burrows (filmmaker) (for example), they would not have ended up at David Burrows (footballer) by mistake. Therefore, would you have a problem with me reverting these changes? --Jameboy (talk) 11:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
