[edit] Blackface

Hi Friejose. Thanks for your wikification of the Bacup page. However I'm removing the internal link to Blackface because I think it is (unintentionally) highly misleading. The wikipedia entry on Blackface is with regard to "a style of theatrical makeup that originated in the United States, used to affect the countenance of an iconic, racist American archetype...". This is by no means the likely root or intent of the blackened faces used by the Bacup Coco-nut Dancers. Although the origin appears to be unknown, one of the most frequently alluded to associations is with Cornish coal-miners; the blackened face derived from the grime covered faces of the miners. Whether this is true or not the connection is more likely to relate to the many European folk custom traditions where black face stems from representations of winter, the dark season. An origin derived from racial imagery is highly unlikely in this context. Bobf 14:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Responded on Bobf's talk page, thanks for the head's up. Friejose 18:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] F in E template

Clearly I was thinking of something else, feel free to put it back, and please accept my apologies..... ChrisTheDude 12:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response and I've put it in back in the Spennymoor United F.C. article. Friejose 13:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boston edits

Hey there. Thanks for the comment on the recent "Gamma class" edits. I agree that I'm probably a bad editor and have a habit of going through what I know as procedures without as much explanation as some very kind, far more experienced editors have offered me (although I can also say that, when I've run into trouble, I've tried to find out more ASAP). I let Quentin know what I think on the matter, though I'd certainly defer to more knowledgable users here. I was more concerned that Quentin seemed more a self-promoter of ideas than someone seriously interested in improving the Boston article, and am more than willing to discuss it further. Thanks again!

I agree that it's not too big a deal. I agree with the concerns other editors have raised, but do admit that I probably did just about as a bad job of explaining my reverts as the "gamma" editor did in explaining his edits. Thanks again for the input! Aepoutre 19:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MyFootballClub

The blog is not reliable per our guidelines. The blog is a POV piece, and statements souced by it have been removed. - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I responded on your talk page. The point is moot, as I changed the article to cite to a piece from The Guardian, which should allay everyone's concerns, but I still think people have missed the point that the blog was cited for the proposition that certain people didn't like the takeover idea, like the author of the blog cited, not to prove a fact. Friejose (talk) 18:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. No worries as I see you have now added the Guardian article as the source anyway. Though I do understand your reasoning behind using the blog as a source. At least now having the Guardian article though should resolve it, have fun. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 22:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grundy Hill photo: Copyright

Hi

On the Grundy Hill postcard shot you say you can't identify the copyright holder. It's actually identified on the back as me.

Do we have your permission to use the photo? I hope so, as I could find no other photo available of the Grundy Hill ground. And I am the proud owner the postcard already! -- Friejose (talk) 15:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
