[edit] Football (soccer)

Hi,

I noticed you were new and had been editing football articles, so I thought I'd give you a few links that it took me a while to find. Hope they're useful.

[edit] Scottish football

Hello Forbsey, thanks for your kind welcome before Christmas which I have finally got around to replying to! As you can see I've been busying away on various Scottish football articles in the last couple of months, you can probably guess from those I've worked on that Dundee UNited are my team, although I have been gradually expanding my edits into other areas as well. In the last few days I've been polishing up some of the SPL squad lists a bit, do you think it would be a good idea to try to expand the squad coverage to include the SFL clubs as well? Looking around Wikipedia, I've noticed this kind of information is sparse even for lower league clubs in England. Jellyman 10:32, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey. The SFL clubs cretainly lack detailed information but I don't think we should create squad lists for them, apart from maybe some of the bigger SFL clubs such as St Mirren, Partick, Dundee ect.. as it would be difficult to maintain. Maybe we should look at including more information on the club history's of some of the teams. Also some of the SPL teams' pages are far too short, i.e. Kilmarnock and Dunfermline espeically when you consider that they are among the oldest clubs in Scotland. Good work on the squad lists btw.

[edit] 1966-67 in Scottish football

Hey. Since you are a Dundee United fan I thought you might know some of the missing Dundee United information in the Scottish Clubs in Europe section of this article (dates of matches, or first names of the players). If you know any if you could add it, cheers. Forbsey 19:24, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Good work, cheers. Forbsey 18:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Davie Dodds

Dude, that was some totally awesome work you done on the Davie Dodds article today. I only started the article becasue I couldn't believe that there wasn't one already. I'm a total, pure Tim, but even I've gotta say that Davie Dodds deserves his page in Wikipedia more than some of the footballers listed. I actually found it quite difficult to source material on the net about D Dodds. This page is probably the best source of info on D Dodds now. Awesome stuff dude.--TheMadTim 17:16, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] category:Railway stations in Ayrshire

I have made a conditional delete vote, but only if it is subdivided before closure. If you want to make sure this gets done I would suggest that you do it yourself as I doubt that anyone else will. This wouldn't be a breach of the rules about emptying a category as the articles would still be in the category via subcategories. Osomec 15:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] United history

What do you think of a small infobox to cover reviews of seasons? I'm thinking of the example at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_A-League#2005-06_Season_Adelaide_United. I've shamelessly ripped it off and made a sample at User:Fedgin/DUFC infobox. Fedgin 09:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006-07 in Scottish football

Hi. I'm just looking for your opinion on a couple of things if you don't mind. As you may have noticed, I changed the Scottish clubs in Europe section layout this season but looking at it it seems to be a little cramped and difficult to read, I am wondering if you think the table format used previously was a better way of displaying this? What do you think about creating articles on the Scottish League Cup and Scottish Cup for this season? If you like this idea then perhaps you could initiate the layout, as I am not very good with tables etc, and I will fill in the details.

P.S. Fantastic work on the 1966-67 in Scottish football article, top work! Forbsey 02:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frazer Smith

  • I found this on the original Frazer Smith page and spilt it because of disambiguation. I was dubious about the article myself and have commented so, see talk page. I have being meaning to check its authenticity but have not got round to it. I did not create this article only moved page. If you have found it to be bull then delete it.Djln--Djln 22:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Former Dundee United players

I've been contributing to Dundee United FC former players and could do with your help. A lot of the players have no entry so could do with a stub page; even better, add wherre they are now. Cheers. Fedgin | Talk 12:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I wonder how much further this could be taken back? Perhaps from 1996/97 onwards, i.e. back in the Premier Division. The list is getting quite long (good work!) so it would be good to split it into two (or three) columns; I'm not sure how to do this in a table - a table of tables? - without manually combining rows. Good work on all the errors and players I missed. Fedgin | Talk 22:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Would you be interested in trying to get rid of the red links and help create pages for the remaining players? I've managed to create a few but some other players require a bit of Googling to fill in the blanks in career history. Fedgin | Talk 14:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 20:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Livingston/Meadowbank/Ferranti

I've reopened the above debate - the three are clearly the same team and I can't see how anyone can defend having three different articles when similar clubs such as Leyton Orient who have gone through several incarnations have one article. Valenciano 20:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Derry City F.C.

Would you be willing to add your support to the nomination of Derry City F.C. for FA status? Cheers. Danny InvincibleTalk|Edits 13:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
