[edit] Current Players list

The current squad list should have a note above it stating the last time the list was updated, because in Non-League football players switch clubs frequently.

For example see the page on Hampton & Richmond Borough. (Beaver Patrol 09:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Disambiguation

Three of current squad, Dave Francis, Tommy Williams and Rob Sheridan, have namesakes on Wikipedia. Their entries on our page automatically link to these namesakes. There is a need to create new pages for them, so that Wiki creates a disambiguation thingy...Prince Philip of Greece (talk) 12:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Molesey contoversy

Prince Philip of Greece has asked me to provide an impartial judgment on the recent edit wars over the Molesey controversy. After evaluating the edits in question, the source, and how the Manual of Style and related guides apply to the edits, this is my stance:

  • The added content must be verifiable. Per WP:Verifiability, "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether material is attributable to a reliable published source, not whether we think it is true."
  • As far as I can tell, this information is not verifiable. The reliable source guideline states that "articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." The Kingstonian website is not a reliable source.
  • The only semi-reliable information that I could find regarding the game was here, provided by the Wimbledon Guardian. However, this report of the game does not include the incident in question.
If, and only if, a reliable source is found:
-The Molesey incident deserves mention in the article, in a new subsection under History. That being said, a more concise version of the information is needed. The full quote from the Kingstonian website is particularly excessive. Select quotes should be taken, and the article should be properly cited and perhaps included in a further reading section.
-The information added about the incident does not conform to Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View, a mandatory core content policy. When the new subsection is created, it must be neutral.
-Avoid peacock and weasel terms. Reword sentences as necessary. Terms like "most Kingstonian fans" and "have rightly condemned" should be reworded to be neutral and verifiable. Let the facts speak for themselves.

Thus, unless a reliable source is introduced, the content about this incident is unverifiable and cannot be included.

I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me on my talk page with any concerns. JSpung (talk) 15:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
