[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Asprilla1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Asprilla1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Image:Steve Howey.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve Howey.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Chowbok ☠ 17:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{fc|xxx}}

Hi Doberman - I note that you have amended many football articles to replace [[xxx F.C.|xxx]] with {{fc|xxx}}. Can I refer you to the recent comments made at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#fc which says that "All instances of {{fc}} should be subst'ed anyway". It seems to me that you are doing a lot of work replacing a direct link to a club article with a link via a template, which doesn't have any direct visual effect.

I also note that you are amending dates in infoboxes to show "2000–01" using "2000 &n dash; 01" rather than 2000-2001. I know the player template uses your style but just about everyone else appears to be using the latter; for what it's worth, my personal opinion is that using the full date looks far better, whereas the Lee Bowyer (for example) infobox now looks "ragged" with dates switching between 4 digit and 2 digit.

Just my thoughts at the end of a busy day. Best wishes Daemonic Kangaroo 17:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

It is not a new idea. The Template talk:Fc page has recommended the subst: usage for a long time. Changing to use the templates is a waste of time, as there are bots which sometimes go through and fix things back to the substituted format anyway. Neier 02:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:G94996eef61.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:G94996eef61.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Toblerone do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

[edit] AfD Nomination: Ritchie Sutton

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Ritchie Sutton meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ritchie Sutton. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Mattythewhite 18:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 0 template

Hi. On some of the articles you've been editing recently, I think you have been adding too many 0 templates to footballers infoboxes. I don't think each row needs two 0 templates, regardless of what the stats actually are. Thanks, Mattythewhite 20:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I think at least that's how it's meant to be done. I'll give you a link to one of my archived talk pages, where I was informed of it. Hope it helps. Mattythewhite 21:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Football infobox standards

Hi, just to let you know about the Wikipedia Football Project Player Manual of Style, which includes an agreed standard for football player infoboxes. The word 'loan' should not appear in italics. Also, the endash (as opposed to the hyphen) is used between two years. WP:DASH has more info on this. Apologies if this all seems a bit pedantic, but the idea is to give a consistent look and feel to football player articles. Cheers and happy editing. --Jameboy 17:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul McManus (footballer born 1982) and others

Hi - I see that you have been creating several new articles - thanks for these contributions. It would help if you added each new article that you create to the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/New articles so that other editors can have the benefit of your hard work. Cheers! --Daemonic Kangaroo 17:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Notability of Sam Linton

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sam Linton, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sam Linton 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 Sam Linton, 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] Andy Clarke

Hi, and well done for cleaning up Andy Clarke's article. Thought you may want to know that year ranges such as football seasons are supposed to be separated with a long dash – ( which you can write &ndash; ) rather than a hyphen - . So next time you find an infobox in a mess, you could correct that as well if you wanted. It's also a good idea if you fill in the edit summary box, so people know what changes you've made. Just something like "tidied infobox" would do, if that's what you've done.

If you add a career total line to a player's appearances, it'd probably be a good idea if you only did it for players where all their appearances and goals are present. With Andy Clarke, his Barnet apps and goals aren't there, so putting a total is misleading.

Keep up the good work! cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
