[edit] Johann Smith

Who keeps deleting Johann Smith from the list of players? He is listed as No. 31 on Darlington's website. I realize that Bryan Hodge is as well, but Smith is listed as a squad member. Eminabe53 (talk) 15:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

I removed the two pointless nicknames. Quakers is *the* nickname for Darlington. Darlo is just a shortening of the name, god only knows where 'Darloids' came from!

[edit] A note on British English

British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 02:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Darlo.gif

Image:Darlo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
