[edit] Axel Thufason

Hi! You've done a great job on the Olympics articles...Compliments! One question: IFFHS say that Thufason came to Denmark from Føroyar and Tufvesson was his original Faroese surname. Do you know who's right? If IFFHS is right he can't be born in Copenhagen... --necronudist (talk) 20:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Done! I'll let you know, thank you! --necronudist (talk) 09:24, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Poulsen seems to be inactive... Damn! --necronudist (talk) 18:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dundas Wright

Most sources refer to him as Gordon Wright e.g. www.englandstats.com and www.thefa.com. The only one that refers to him as Dundas Wright was www.englandfc.com which was my original source when I initially created the List of England international footballers (alphabetical). None of the sources refer to him as Edward Wright. I'm not sure if that helps. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

If you think the article should be moved to Gordon Wright (footballer) I won't object. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I've now moved it to Gordon Wright (footballer) which seems to be the name he was known by. I'll see what I can find on the others. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

www. allfootballers.com says that the William Martin (footballer) who played for Huddersfield town was an England amateur international, so that seems to be the right link. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Proofs

You have probably noticed that for the last month I haven't contributed to Wikipedia much. The reason to this was, that I bought myself the Golden Book of Olympic Games and have been putting together a webpage that contains all my additions to Wikipedia (mostly birth & death dates) with proofs. I have sent this page to Ove Karlsson who compiles the Deceased Olympic Medallists section of The Journal of Olympic History. This page is here. Note that as this page contain a lot of images, it's quite large (over 25 MBs). As it exceeds my webspace quota more than twice, I have made arrangements to temporarily keep it up for a week. So don't link anything to it. You can save the page to your computer, I think all the web browsers have an option to save the page with images. Then you have to manually download only two things: they are the obituaries of Harold Weber and Warren Wood, they are both pdf files. Gh (talk) 15:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alphonse De Cuyper

Do you know, are the Alphons De Cuyper who won a medal in arts competition to Belgium and Alphonse Decuyper who won a bronze medal in water polo as a member of Paris waterpolo team the same person. They both are born in 1877. Gh (talk) 11:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vladimir Stogov

Can you tell me where did you find the exact death date of Vladimir Stogov? I have only found a press release by Moscow Weightliftin Association published on May 25, 2005, whitch states that he died, but there is no date given. I need this, so I could send this source to Ove Karlsson, who the can publish it at The Journal of Olympic History. Also if you are interested, I can send you those Deceased Olympic Medallists sections published in The Journal of Olympic History in 1997-2007. I have compiled them to one large file. You can find my email addres on my talk page. I posted it there as for some strange reason I can't use the E-mail this user feature. Gh (talk) 11:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I will send it to Ove Kalsson. And I haven't recieved you email, I just checked. Gh (talk) 14:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

No, I still haven't got your mail. I checked even my spam folder. That means that somewhere between us some kind of spam filter kills your message and it doesn't arrive to my system. I have seen it before. Maybe you can try to send the email from another address? Gh (talk) 15:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1938 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA - Group 6/Group 7)#Team stats

[edit] James Barker (athlete)

Doma-w, you're a good contributor, but you have to accept that things will not always go your way. This is very disappointing. Adding one source and whole bunch of uncited facts is not a significant "expansion" and, furthermore, all the facts added do not approach the basic issue at the AFD, which was that an article (as opposed to a collection of statistics) cannot be written about him (or, at least, no evidence has been shown of this). I will be reverting your edits and reminding you that recreation of material that was removed in an AFD can be considered disruptive editing. Cheers, CP 15:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, if the version that you want to create is significantly different from the version that was deleted (ie. with prose and at least a start-worthy biography), then you can do that without asking anyone. But the version has to address all the issues brought up in the article's AFD, mainly it cannot be just a list of his achievements, because that won't create much of a neutral biographical article. Cheers, CP 15:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Skeleton at the 1948 Winter Olympics

I looked at the edits you did for Skeleton at the 1948 Winter Olympics and I have not seen the last two names either from the official Olympic report or from an alternative source. If you have the link or source with the names, could you please put this in. Thanks. Chris (talk) 13:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw the results that they did not start, but it may be they may have crashed out on the first run and their results were not counted at all. If that is the case, I will adjust. Chris (talk) 15:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic football squads

Hi! As you know I am working on Olympic squads. An IP User:189.202.2.94 has changed lots of player's teams in Football at the 1980 Summer Olympics - Men's team squads and Football at the 1992 Summer Olympics - Men's team squads. Do you think I should revert this edits as there is no references in his edits?Best regards.--Latouffedisco (talk) 09:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I will revert some unsourced edits which don't match some player's article. I keep searching datas, too. Regards--Latouffedisco (talk) 07:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

After checking out his edits, I would say that this user has good faith: but the player's teams he edits are teams joined after the tournaments: unfotunately, all sources say for instance PLAYER X joined TEAM 2 from TEAM 1 on July 19XX, which is just a convention, but is untrue. And as Olympic tournaments are in August...Regards--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, yes I'm on the way to correct both 1980 and 1988 olympic squads. I will remove your tag once finished.Keep up the good work!--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hello, I notice you've added {{PD-old}} to most of your images, this is clearly incorrect licensing as in many cases the images are from 1912 and some from 1908. The licensing most likely to be correct is {{PD-US}}. Polly (Parrot) 22:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Léonard Steyaert

A user removed the date of birth for this athlete; do you happen to have a source that claims his birthdate so that we can reinsert it? Cheers, CP 15:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry no. It looks like that this user created this article with a copy of Jan Heřmánek and forgot to remove the DoB. Doma-w (talk) 22:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info! Cheers, CP 15:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Angel Jara

Hi!Thanks for this interesting link!It will allow me to create an article about this player. I found also his stats in France in a book of mine. That's perfect. Kind regards.--Latouffedisco (talk) 17:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Bobsleigh 1948

I was not aware of the adjustment done on the four-man event adjustment for the bobsleigh events at the 1948 Winter Olympics for the French teams. If that is the case, let's adjust it as such. Also on the René Charlet and the diatric, I was unaware that the biography had a diatric so that is ignorance on my end. Sorry about that. Chris (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Athlete notability

No problem. I'm just not sure that someone is going to come looking for these articles, so many years after the event that seemingly makes these athletes notable. A one-sentence article that isn't likely to be expanded just doesn't seem like a worthwhile investment of your diligent editing skills. And that AFD would seem to set a precedent to delete most of them. Anyhow, happy editing, xenocidic (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stanley Benham

I saw the edits you did on Stanley Benham and liked what you did. The only adjustment I made to your edits was in the medal table in removing "Men's" from the Bobsleigh part uncer the medal sport. I did this because the events already have their gender defined (Two-man, Four-man). I do the same thing with women's bobsleigh as the two-woman event and with the men's and women's skeleton. This is trying to avoid redundancy. Chris (talk) 15:07, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The reason I don't put the gender on the respective events is that I am trying to avoid redundancy among the articles. If you have men's ice hockey and women's ice hockey on a medal table, I would put the medal that athlete earned, when they earned it, and the gender on the last column while keeping the medal sport gender nuetral. I am very aware that many sports started as male-only, then later expanded to include both male and female genders, but some of the events listed at the Olympics are gender defined, such as men's and women's skeleton or the two-man, two-woman, and four-man, as an example. I had forgetten to mention, but we could use your help for the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing and getting information on the athletes who both medal and compete in the respective events. I am not certain which sports I will do yet because the Summer Olympics have never piqued my interest quite like the Winter Games have. Chris (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Peter Lunn

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. FelisLeo^Talk! 13:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Karl Ansén

Hi Martin! What's your source for his second name Anshelm? Thank you! --necronudist (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Ups! I took a look at the 1908 one, but not the 1912 one...Sorry! --necronudist (talk) 17:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ian Thompson (athlete)

Hi, I've been away from here for a few months and was just checking up on a few articles. I've noticed you've moved Ian Thompson (high jumper) to Ian Thompson (athlete), I wondered if you were aware of Ian Thompson also a noted athlete. What do you suggest is the best way to seperate the two? --Bedders (talk) 15:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
