[edit] Editting
Hey, don't mean to nag but if you want to see your changes while your editting could you use the 'show preview' button instead of saving? It's just that saving adds a load of little entries to the change history instead of just one clear one. Cheers. Aheyfromhome (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:British people of Irish descent
Hi. I've removed the Irish descent category you added to David Murphy (footballer), and out of courtesy I should explain why. Firstly, you were quite right to supply a source for the category, I wish more people realised they're supposed to do that! But, if you look at the page Category:British people of Irish descent, you'll see it says that In accordance with Wikipedia:Categories, the applicability of the category should be based on a consensus that the connection to Ireland is important enough to include in the article text before this category can properly be considered. In this case, Mr Murphy describes himself as "English through and through", and mentions the Irish great-grandparent in the interview you cite, only to disprove any speculation about him possibly qualifying for other national teams. So although the Irish connection exists, it really isn't important enough to go in the article text, and so shouldn't go in the categories either. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:26, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough. I have edited the body of the article to reflect the fact that people have looked into whether he is eligible for Ireland and Scotland. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
