[edit] Official name

On 2 February 2005 the official name was changed from Huddersfield Town Association Football Club to Huddersfield Town Football Club. BlueValour 23:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Headings

Please do not remove headings and overload the intro. To enable the reader to find what he wants, as much material as possible should be findable from Contents. BlueValour 19:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fixtures

I have removed a list of fixtures for the upcoming season. Unfortunately they cannot be used, as they are copyright The Football League, who charge a fee for the right to use them. Oldelpaso 08:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I have replaced by a Results table which are OK. BlueValour 17:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Pease do not keep adding forthcoming matches. Wikipedia is not licensed to carry fixtures and this is not important enough to put the Project at risk. If you consider the next match is OK, then by all means go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football and see if you can get agreement. BlueValour 17:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eoin Hand

I can help with the Eoin Hand profile, can give you all the Irish info you need. Will update over the next few days --Dodge 01:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good, thanks. BlueValour 19:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Popular chants

This was split between the main article and the 'Smile a While' article. I have now combined them under Huddersfield Town F.C. - Popular chants. I have also added paras on the 'singing section' and 'Band' - amplification of these would be welcome. BlueValour 23:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To do list

All help welcome!

[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 16:23, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article structure

At the moment the article is an uneasy combination of current results/news and more long-living material. The Results table will, of course, be moved to a new article before the next season. I think, therefore, that we may as well adopt a better structure now. I am proposing to create a new article Huddersfield Town F.C. season 2006-07 and move the Results and 2006-07 Events there. The 2006-07 Review would remain here, and be copied to the new article. That would enable 2006-07 to take the prose form of earlier seasons. The Events and Results would, of course, continue to be developed in their new home. May I have any comments, please? BlueValour 05:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early days

This section of the history is incredibly brief. Not being a Huddersfield fan, I know little about the pre-war history and this article tells me very little. How did the club recover from bankruptcy in 1912 to win the FA Cup in 1922 and then the Championship in 1924, 1925 and 1926? The Herbert Chapman article adds nothing (and concentrates on his Arsenal career). Who were the major players? Apart from Chapman who were the managers? The manager before him got the team to the FA Cup final (who was he?); the manager after won the League in 1926 (again, who was he?). The team won the FA Cup in 1922; surely this deserves more than a brief mention.

Maybe there's a historian amongst the Huddersfield Wikipedians who can expand this section. Daemonic Kangaroo 12:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable supporters

An editor has dropped by and removed this section. Each one of the supporters is sourced so I have replaced the section. This section should remain unless there is a consensus here for it to be removed. BlueValour 21:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, that was me. WP:FOOTBALL discussions in the past have backed the removal of celebrity fan sections. Even if you've sourced it, it's still fairly trivial and more information for the person's page rather than the club. HornetMike 22:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
My recollection is that, that was on the basis that these sections are rarely sourced and therefore not being verifiable. We have been rigorous on insisting that any additions to this section be sourced. The editors on here do not consider it trivial. In any case the authority for any article is the talk page so the section must remain unless you can generate a consensus on here for its removal. BlueValour 22:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, possibly. I'll either have a scratch around or bring it up on the football project. Tomorrow, though. Tomorrow! HornetMike 23:19, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I think that you are missing the main point - whatever the view of the project may be it is not their place to dictate what goes in individual articles. Editorial disputes - as here - are resolved by the regular editors on the talk page unless there is a clear breach of Wikipedia policy (which there is not in this case}. BlueValour 23:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't see this before I brought it up on the project - not that it matters, won't hurt to have a discussion on it. I respectfully disagree regarding the views of the project - whilst they don't set official policy, I think it makes sense for all articles to fall in line with their consensus. Anyway, as I've said on my talk page, it would have been polite of me to bring it up on here before removing sourced material, so for that I apologise. As there is apparently consensus of the editors on this page to keep it, I will not remove it again. However, should the consensus of the WikiProject suggest removing it, I would recommend following their lead and doing so. Cheers, HornetMike 09:41, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Full and u-21 internationals

This list is now unmanageably large - I hadn't realised we had so many stars :-) My suggestion is two lists - one for Full and one for U-21. Any thoughts, pl? BlueValour 02:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

  • how about players who have only earned them while with us, although its hard to find out i guess Joe p15 09:32, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Hudcrest.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is that the real emblem? Apparently, the 'A' was removed in 2005. A quick search on google images shows emblems without the 'AFC'. RedvBlue 21:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
