Mika and Michael on Flickr

[1] Would you be willing to relicence that image as CC-BY (not CC-BY-NC) so I can use it on the 1998 British Grand Prix article? I'm going to attempt a total rewrite of that article and think that picture would look good in it. Alexj2002 22:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• OK, I've changed the licence so that you can use it. Good luck with the article. Gasheadsteve 05:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much! It's a great picture BTW, I hope the rest of the article can be brought up to similar standards. Alexj2002 08:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Athletics

You do well with the athletics articles. Keep up the good work. Punkmorten 06:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

On 12 November 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of Bristol Rovers F.C., which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Re:Taki Inoue

That is strange. I agree, the version I uploaded should be deleted. Now you can focus on uploding the 100-or-so more motor racing images from Flickr! ;-) --Diniz 20:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Another thing...I have also uploaded this image, which you took. Please feel free to change the licensing or re-upload it. --Diniz 20:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Schools in Bristol

Hi, After all your excellent work on List of schools in Bristol you might want to add them to List of schools in the South West of England? are you going to do primaries as well?— Rod ^talk 15:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Bristol to do list

Well done for changing the Wikipedia:WikiProject Bristol to do list, but do you think we should use the general assessment criteria for "status" in the list of museums, buildings & other articles which aren't areas (& should this be called places of interest?). We currently use 1-5 & it seems inconsistent.— Rod ^talk 19:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I put your GA nomination for Bristol Rovers F.C. on hold. Please see the talk section of the article for reasons. Overall... the article was well referenced, well put together and well written.

Bristol Rovers F.C. season 2007-08

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Bristol Rovers F.C. season 2007-08, by PeeJay2K3 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Bristol Rovers F.C. season 2007-08 fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

because the subject matter is non-notable and can be found on any football website

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Bristol Rovers F.C. season 2007-08, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Bristol Rovers F.C. season 2007-08 itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:23, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Jade Goody

Hey,

As much as you might hate vandalism, if you have ever seen or heard Jade Goody then you will understand why her page gets continually vandalised and moreover the vandalism is thoroughly warranted as it reflects the utter hatred for this putrid woman amongst the general public. So it totally bewilders me why anyone in their right mind would want to protect this woman’s page, she deserves everything that comes to her.

If you dont know who Jade Goody is i suggest you read her article on wikipedia, in short she is arguably the most hated woman in the UK at the moment. I suggest you think twice before defending her page in the future.

Regards,

A. Vandal —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.78.103.235 (talk • contribs) 10:22, 21 March 2007.

Andrew Wilson - footballer

Hi Steve, Can I pick your football brains/sources? Our local paper has an article about local lad, Andrew Wilson, getting married who was an international footballer - but I can't find any article on wikipedia which fits the info given: age 29, played for Wales v Bazil Nov 1997, signed for Southampton 1992 debut Aug 1997 v Bolton, transferred to Swindon Town summer 2001, later 2 seasons with Bath city as semi-pro. - Do you think this is made up or do we just not have an article for him (yet)?— Rod ^talk 15:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all the info. This sort error is not unknown in the Chew Valley Gazette. I will contact the paper. Could you start an article on Andrew Williams(footballer) (or similar title)? & I will add the personal life bits which were a feature of the article.— Rod ^talk 17:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Kevan Broadhurst

Hi, thanks for creating Kevan Broadhurst, it's one more off my list of things to do without me having to do it. Also, particular thanks for reminding me who was caretaker at Birmingham before Barry Fry's appointment!

I've filled in the infobox a bit and corrected the appearances - 173 was right for all comps but for the infobox you need league apps only which is 153. I don't know if you're aware of Neil Brown's wonderful players database, which gives league appearances and goals for all post-war players, and is absolutely perfect for filling in infoboxes. There are mistakes in it, but not many, and it's recognised as a reliable source. cheers, Struway2 | Talk 08:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Peter Hooper.

Hey Steve, wasn't ex-Rovers player Peter Hooper actually an outside left? I was sure he was a "winger" as that's what made his goalscoring record even more impressive... —Preceding unsigned comment added by TobagoGas (talk • contribs) 19:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recent WP:FLC. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient for the main page.

Bristol City 06/07 GA review

I've signed up to review this article, but I'm quite busy, so it won't be instantaneous. If that's a problem, just let me know Jimfbleak (talk) 15:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

You obviously know what you are doing and it's an interesting and well-written article. A couple of first thoughts.

1. The first few tables have the headings in a tasteful grey, but the next has no shading, and the transfer tables have blue headings.
2. The colour scheme of the gif is a bit garish, and doesn't really fit with the colours used in the tables. Is it possible to change the colours?
3. There is some multiple linking, I've not been through in detail yet, but the obvious example is the player details table, with the repeated links of MF, FW etc.
4. I've centred the team kit, revert if you don't like it
5. The bullet-pointed list of awards sits a bit oddly with the rest of the article. Why not make that a (centred?) table too?

Jimfbleak (talk) 11:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

On my machine it looks a pinkish-grey, or might just be my eyes! I'm fine with your comments, I'll wait until you've done the gif and then do a proper read through, but I don't anticipate major probs. Jimfbleak (talk) 14:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
