Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu

I went to Barnet v Bradford earlier this season, and his shirt sayd "Guylain". I think it makes sense to list what a player wears on his shirt, in the same way that you don't list Ronaldinho as "Moreira". ArtVandelay13 07:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. robwingfield «T•C» 00:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

{{England-footy-manager-stub}}

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 01:43, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Ahhh, skip it. Looks like there was a proposal for this about six months ago, but the template wasn't actually made at the time (in part for the same reason I nominated it for deletion - the fact that the majority of managers are ex-players, meaning a big overlap in stub types). I'll tidy up the template so that it leads to a stub category (an upmerged one for now, that is, one for an existing stub type with a wider scope - if there are enough stubs using it it may get its own category later). In future, though, getting things sorted out at WP:WSS/P first will prevent any confusion :) Grutness...wha? 06:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Nick Smith (footballer)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Nick Smith (footballer), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Rob Steiner

Hi, the American football coach is probably not notable, so what I'll do is revert his edits and put it back to the footballer, and then direct Rob Steiner (footballer) to that page. Cheers for bringing it to my attention! GiantSnowman 08:54, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Wayne Bullimore

My apologies. I should have watched the article for more content, which it seems you have added. --Tckma 02:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

List of Bradford City players

Hi, yeah sure, go ahead, I want the page to be as complete as possible so jump straight in! If you need a hand then just ask, and if you want to find players than use Neil Brown's site (link is in the 'external links' section). PS It's nice to find a fellow City fan, and one who is interested in adding to pages on it! Cheers for all your work so far! GiantSnowman 14:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Darren Moore

I was wondering what source you used to change Darren Moore's league apps for Bradford from 63 to 62. Soccerbase.com says 63, although it isn't always accurate admittedly. --Jameboy 14:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Almer Hall

I checked allfootballers.com and it seems he joined Bradford on January 6th 1939 but made no appearances before the war started. I've amended the stats in his article accordingly..... ChrisTheDude 07:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Bryan Robson

Cheers for your help, any additions are welcomed. Would like to get it to at least Good Article status, if not featured. I'm less than halfway through the autobiography though, so still a long way to go. One thing you may be able to help with is getting more images of Robson to add to the article. The one in the article is pretty awful...that tracksuit! --Jameboy 00:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Noticed you changing links to redirects on a couple of articles on my watchlist. Quick tip, if the link displaying on the page is not mispelled, there's no need to bypass the redirect. See here for an explanation as to why. Good work on the Bradford City related articles you've been expanding, by the way. Oldelpaso 12:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for getting an infobox to Sean Taylforth so quickly! Very much appreciated. Bobo. 20:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Lol. No worries. To be honest he doesn't meet notability for an entry and I reckon we're going to get rid of him so not sure how long the entry will last anyway.

On the contrary, now that he has made a senior appearance, he meets notability for an entry. Bobo. 20:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

On User talk:Bobo192, Peanut4 said:
Only league games me thought. Otherwise I'd have created the stub a while ago.

I would respond to that with this, from here, "Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing." Since FL1 and FL2 are both professional leagues, I would like to believe that the Football League Trophy is indeed a professional competition. What would you say? Bobo. 20:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

On User talk:Bobo192, Peanut4 said:
The full wording for that sentence is Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in an individual professional sport. So I'd say for a team player it has to be a league game. I'm not going to contest the entry but if someone else does it probably would get deleted. I think we've a couple of other players who've only played in cup games including the same one as Taylforth.

I must confess I misread that and it has most likely changed since I last created a bunch of articles about lower-league football players. The concept of an equivalent standing in an individual sport wasn't one about which I had aware until rereading that guideline.

How things change.. Do what you want to, I'm not worried eitherway, I was just filling in some redlinks on templates. Bobo. 20:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Thierry Henry FAC

Hi there, just wanted to say thanks for addressing some of the feedback. Chensiyuan 00:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Well thanks again for fixing some of the stuff. Right now I'm just floored by the amount of vexatious objections raised at the FAC -- not that I haven't seen it in other places, but thankfully most times common sense prevailed. In any case, do you have any comments that will strengthen the article, and improve its chances of passing? Chensiyuan 13:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Am grateful for inserting a couple of refs where needed! Chensiyuan 13:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks; you were very helpful in making and implementing a number of important suggestions too. If you ever need a fresh pair of eyes for something you're working on, drop me a msg and I'd try to help! Chensiyuan (talk) 23:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Peanut, no worries, like you I want to improve articles concerning Bradford City as much as possible: I have also expaned the articles on Bobby Ham and Gavin Oliver. Regards, GiantSnowman 21:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

John McMillan

Hi Peanut

I guess it's possible it could be the same guy, but I have no information to confirm one way or the other - literally the only info I've been able to turn up on "our" McMillan is already in the article. I have no source for his birthplace, date, etc. The statement that he never played is based on the fact that I could find no John McMillans on allfootballers.com, but I notice they have "your" guy down as Johnny.....

Probably best to keep them separate and then if any more material on the Gills' McMillan comes to light and it does turn out to be the same guy we could always merge them..... ChrisTheDude 07:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Turns out it is the same guy - see here. I've moved the article to John McMillan (footballer), feel free to add in the details of his playing career...... ChrisTheDude 08:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Amjad Iqbal

Hey. Actually, after I de-linked him, I realised he had made an appearances for Pakistan. Is this an implication of notability? In my opinion, yes, but, I think WP:BIO (a guideline) disagrees. Not sure really. I think a decision will need to be made at WP:FOOTY, seems to be a bit of an issue at the moment and will continue to be a problem if a decision isn't made. Thanks, Mattythewhite 22:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Ralph Burkinshaw

Hiya, I noticed you tagged Ralph Burkinshaw with a Yorkshire cricketers. The reference I have is that he only played in the county's league cricket rather than Yorkshire CCC itself. I don't know if you know any more or if that would even change the category anyway. Peanut4 10:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that - I should have read the article more closely. I have now deleted the category and tweaked the wording. Happy editing. --Daemonic Kangaroo 12:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Ken Leek, and List of BCAFC managers

Sadly, Mr Leek is a long way down my list of wonders and things to do, I'm still struggling with the main club article and writing stubs for players/managers lists, so your Bradford input would probably get there before anything of mine.

Re your manager list, just a quickie on Soccerbase as a source. Their stuff is (mostly, though certainly not entirely) accurate for what they include, but they don't include everything.

For instance, Robert Campbell's Soccerbase figures only include league games, and not the 1905 FA Cup. The reason being, they appear to have a cutoff point for inclusion of FA Cup games set at "Round 1", regardless of how many qualifying rounds clubs had to play before reaching "Round 1". (In the olden days, they changed the format on a regular basis.) Same applies to 1906, where you played at least one qual round before "Round 1".

It's not just long ago, either. See Soccerbase for Bradford City 1982-83 (which i was looking at re small cups), they don't have dates for any round of the league or FA cups, so the proviso written under every manager's history NB: Only games with a date in the database counted here applies and these results aren't counted. Also, they've updated quite a lot recently, so you may find their totals changing as more matches are added.

Small cups. If you're intending to count stuff like Full Members cup, FL Group cup etc be aware that Soccerbase doesn't.

Dates. If they don't know the date a manager was appointed, they'll put 1st of the month, similarly left on last of the month. You and Soccerbase have (for instance) Bryan Edwards leaving on 17/1/75 and Kennedy taking over on 1/1/75. One might wonder whether they double-count the matches in the overlap period. Doesn't bear thinking about.

(As to not entirely accurate, if you look at Birmingham City managerial history, you'll notice we didn't have one at all for 14 months between April 1964 and July 1965) cheers, Struway2 10:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

The main thing is, don't worry about it. No-one expects perfection, you can only do your best with the source data available.
What I did on work-in-progress List of Birmingham City F.C. managers was cross-check the soccerbase figures against my BCFC Complete Record book. Didn't take all that long, surprisingly. Assuming you have access to the corresponding BCAFC book, the procedure would go as follows:
  • for each manager, take soccerbase's approx dates of tenure and add up how many league games played out of detail pages in book (for whole seasons obviously you just add on 42 or whatever, only real tedious bit is counting odd bits of season) and FA/League cup games Then if the total differs from soccerbase, which from about WWI to 1960s mine generally didn't, check against soccerbase's season pages to see what they're missing (usually early cup rounds) and add in the W/D/L just for those games.
  • Or do it the other way round - look through each soccerbase BCAFC season to see what cup games they're missing compared to the book, then add the W/D/L in to the appropriate manager. (depends whether you find it easier to read book or screen)
  • Only do a very few at a time or your eyesight goes funny.
  • Then add in minor cups if desired, though you may well choose not to. Soccerbase includes FL Trophy in recent years, but the best general reference for it is Jeremy Hicks's site, which includes match dates, where FCHD doesn't.
As to dates of appointment, I'd just put the months in your list unless you have a reason to believe the precise date. Odd games are bound to end up misallocated between managers because of the inadequacies of the source data. It doesn't really matter what competitions you include, so long as you say what you're counting and are consistent with that.
I shall now go and tell soccerbase that Joe Mallett was appointed Birmingham manager in 1964, not 65. :-) cheers, Struway2 09:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

PR of List of Bradford City A.F.C. managers

Hey Peanut, I've added a bunch of comments at the PR as per your request at WP:FOOTBALL. Hope they're of use to you. Let me know if I can be of any help. Cheers. The Rambling Man 11:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Seasons list FLC

Hi, Noticed the comment/query about referencing. Are you aware that the FCHD has you reaching the Intermediate round of the FA Cup in 1905, but your list has Round 1? Don't know if you're aware of this site, but it has a nice at-a-glance league and big cups summary, laid out ideally for proofreading. Also, it wouldn't hurt to reference soccerbase's Bradford City page rather than the site front page. Will comment properly at the FLC when I find some time, cheers, Struway2 13:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Artjoms Butorins

Hi Peanut, did Artjoms Butorins ever make a first team appearance for City? GiantSnowman (talk) 18:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Bradford seasons

Yep, for the League Cup in 1964-65 the 5th round was the Quarter final Round in which Bradford lost 7-1 at the hands of the mighty Villa ;) Whilst soccerbase does have some issues with other stats, its competitions listings are usually sound. The link for that season is here. That answere your question? Woodym555 (talk) 22:32, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

No problemo. I found those links useful for the Villa seasons list as well! Woodym555 (talk) 22:36, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Seasons list

Hi, I've taken the liberty of giving your lead section a light copyedit, for MoS (which doesn't like one-sentence paragraphs) and so it reads a little more smoothly, I've changed as little as possible but if there's anything you don't like then please revert me. Also fixed your links to Premier League season articles. Just off to review at FLC (will support, there's only a couple of things to mention). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Robert Campbell

My source is Rangers Player by Player (Crowood Press 1990). I think I made have made a mistake, i do not have his birth date i assumed that a that was the player i was after but there seems to be two Robert campbells. when did he play for Rangers F.C.? I will create a new page so Robert Campbell (footballer born 1882) can be red linked. I have his full name as Robert Gordon Campbell? y8c 19:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Managers list

Hi, Didn't realise how long it's been since you put your manager list up for peer review, just went for a look and found it archived. Sorry about that, got distracted by my lot's managerial changes. Below is what I would have said, please ignore or make use of as you wish.

  • I know it's hard to get the balance right between short sentences and flowing prose, but some of your sentences are a bit long and confusing. E.g John Docherty had taken over two months before relegation was confirmed, and during the close season he signed Sean McCarthy to solve the club's goal-scoring problem as well as a number of his former players from Millwall but he could not help City bounce back, before being replaced by Frank Stapleton.
  • move which shocked the Bradford public, pot of cash, bit tabloidy?
  • For some of the opinion stuff sourced to your book (McFarland leaving in controversial circumstances, move which shocked the Bradford public) if there's a particular quote from the book to illustrate your point, you could always put it in the footnote. (Obviously if the book takes half a page to explain whatever it is, you couldn't.)
  • Honours column. Cup winners rather than champions.
  • Don't suppose you'd consider using normal size print rather than small?
  • Do you really need the almost-invisible dashes in otherwise empty boxes?
  • Soccerbase. If you correct and add omissions from another source, say where. If you don't, say what's missing from (or what's included in) the manager stats.
  • References. Give full details of each book source the first time you refer to it, and then you can just say e.g. Markham, Legends, p. xxx on subsequent occasions.
  • Web sources should include date accessed, and news sources ought really to include publication date.

hope some of this is still helpful, cheers, Struway2 09:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Soccerbase (my favourite). What I mean is, if you add in any stats from a source other than Soccerbase, so that the figures in the list differ from those in the Soccerbase reference, then put a note to say where the differences came from. What I did with List of Birmingham City F.C. managers was put a general note at the top saying "Manager statistics come from Soccerbase, cross-checked against Matthews, Complete Record (up to 1995), RSSSF (for Anglo-Italian Cup 1996), and FCHD (1996 onwards). Omissions and other discrepancies are corrected from these sources."
If on the other hand you're sticking with Soccerbase's stats throughout, then probably you should change the only professional, competitive matches are counted bit to mention any such games that aren't counted because of Soccerbase's omissions.
As to sourcing info that isn't discussed in detail in the article, the reader can look at a web source themselves to see what you're on about. If it's sourced to a book, the reader generally can't, so if there's a small quotation that can go in a footnote it can help to illustrate the point. As an example, History of Birmingham City F.C.#1939 – 1965 speaks of a "solid defensive performance" in the 1963 League cup, which is sourced to a book in footnote 33, where I included a quote from the book to justify the "solid defensive". It isn't necessary to do that sort of thing, but sometimes it can be helpful.
Hope that's a bit clearer (if it isn't, then ignore me entirely, my brain doesn't seem to be working very well at the moment). cheers, Struway2 19:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Milner

  • Do you need the paragraph at the start of the career section? It seems only to act as a summary for the rest, which is already in the lead.
    • Someone else added that saying "can't have sections start with sub-section titles"
  • the chairman of the team at the time - add his name.
    • Ref doesn't say
  • It looked probable he would soon start a game. I'd lose this sentence, it adds nothing, is WP:OR and WP:POV.
    • it think this is mention in one of the refs. Don't know which one though.
  • Maybe start an international section and move most of that stuff to it, while making lesser references in the club section, so as not to muddy the water as much. Though this is probably personal preference.
    • Don't see why since he has not yet played in a full international. Buc (talk) 21:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

List of FA Cup giant-killings

Hello again, as you commented on this during the deletion discussion, I wonder if you could comment on my proposed criteria on this page? We now have the ridiculous spectacle of Port Vale and Notts County being described as giants when, no disrespect to their fans, they clearly aren't. As I've already removed the Havant result twice I think it would be breaking the spirit of 3RR to remove again. However, I firmly believe we need tight criteria on such a list to stop it growing exponentially. I strongly believe that a good league one side beating a weak/soon to be relegated side from the premier really can't be described as giant killing. Valenciano (talk) 18:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I have restored the reference to two separate clubs in Switzerland as that's quite clear in my book. There are two separate clubs in St Gallen listed here. Also, I have changed back the reference to Harold Swift - he only became manager at Chesterfield (1907) after Handley had moved on to Bradford City (1906).

An historic county versus A historic county

Hi. I've just seen your edit to the Yorkshire article. Personally, I feel that "an historic county" makes more sense grammatically than "a historic county". It might also be worth considering that the Yorkshire dialect tends to drop the "h", making "historic" sound like "istoric", and therefore "an" more appropriate than "a". However, I think it is more of a pedantic point than anything else. ~~ [Jam][talk] 14:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It has been nominated as a Featured List candidate, so that should be documented in the same way that James Milner (which is currently on its third Peer Review) has its FAC listed there. – PeeJay 01:55, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

No idea, I'll see about adding it now. – PeeJay 02:04, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I noticed that too. I guess the original FLC would have had to be archived eventually anyway, though. I have to say, I definitely won't be supporting the nomination until stuff about the current season is removed. Stability issues are also the reason why I'm not submitting Manchester United F.C. statistics as a Featured List candidate. – PeeJay 02:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Yup, same here. I guess his stubbornness about such things doesn't help his case. – PeeJay 02:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Haha, no go on. I'd love to hear what you have to say on the matter. It's not often I get the opportunity to chat with Wikipedians about other members. – PeeJay 02:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I definitely agree with you. I guess I'm lucky in some ways that I've not had to work with him properly yet. He seems a bit up-himself too, if you know what I mean. It's like he regards his contributions to Wikipedia like his own children, since he's not old enough to have any real children. Then again, being from Harrogate and at the age of 21, he could be the father of many by now :-D Seriously, though, the FLC you referenced seems to epitomise his character perfectly. I really hope I don't come across like that to people! – PeeJay 02:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Absolutely. If I wasn't in polite company, I might even go as far as to say he acts like a complete arse. But I won't say that. – PeeJay 02:43, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


Nothing seems to be happening on the PR so is it worth re-nominating? Buc (talk) 07:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

There isn't really a better free use image. I've already gone thought reasons for keeping the cureent season. What's up with the Refs? Buc (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks I'll work on thought when I can find the time. But said before I've already gone though the reasons keeping the curent season. Buc (talk) 20:09, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The ref and footnotes are fixed in the order there links appear so I can't seperate them. Feel free to change the image caption and fix any spelling or grammer errors yourself. But I couldn't find any. Buc (talk) 21:12, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Which bit? I see no new edit. Buc (talk) 21:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

As said not half an hout ago the ref and footnotes are fixed in the order there links appear. I can't move them. In fact I did look at Aston Villa seasons. Interesting, there appear to be refs in the footnote section. Buc (talk) 21:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there something about the layout of the ref section you want me to change. Because it there please just say so. Buc (talk) 18:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok let me know if I need to fix anything else. Buc (talk) 22:57, 1 January 2008 (UTC) Well there doen't appear to be anything else that's why I asked. Buc (talk) 09:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok the PR is over now. Am I ok to re-nominate? Buc (talk) 10:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wallwork

Cheers for the additional contributions. Some of the existing prose (not written by me!) is still a bit dodgy and needs sorting but I think this is not a million miles from being GA candidate, with a bit more work. What do you reckon? --Jameboy (talk) 01:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Leeds seasons

Hey Peanut, I'm pushing the Leeds seasons article to FL despite the recent "issues"! There's a new PR open, I'd be glad if you could find the time to contribute to it. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I completely agree with your advice on the Europe/other competition recolumnising for the Leeds season, the Bradford page looks very good that way. Perhaps you could have a stab at it? I'm no wikitable guru and everytime I try I end up buggering it up completely... ? Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, thanks but I think I managed it! Have a look and see what you think? I'll probably be pushing it to FLC within the next couple of days. Let me know what you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Yeah, the 1919-20 is a pain but there you go, at least it's got a note saying not available at the moment. Better than just a blank. Okay, well once I'm sure Struway2 hasn't got any more skeletons in the closet to throw out then I'll nom it at FLC (hopefully tomorrow) so I look forward to your support! Cheers, The Rambling Man (talk) 18:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Leeds seasons FLC

Hey Peanut4, I thought I'd take the plunge and get the FLC going. The PR was a great success so I think we're virtually there. All comments are gratefully received, support even more so! All the best! The Rambling Man (talk) 22:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain the undo? Cheers, Kaboooz LUFC TC 23:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough. I was just going by what seemed better and what every single other 'big' club had on their seasons article. Kaboooz LUFC TC 23:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Cheers for helping out

Thanks for helping to sort out some of the WBA player articles. I believe the user concerned is becoming a problem. I can't prove it, but I believe he deliberately edited these articles to prove a point to me. He never responds to talk messages which makes things incredibly difficult. If he continues I will report him to an admin. --Jameboy (talk) 13:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rhys Evans

Assuming that's who you meant anyway. Yes, I noticed that as I logged out. Some dates were showing with a comma, while some omitted it. Seems odd. I'll look into it. I mentioned the commas thing to Daemonic Kangaroo the other day, and he replied saying that he had been enlightened after doing some research. For clarification, I'll ask him what he found. - Dudesleeper Talk 00:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

My mistake. My comment to him was regarding commas after the year. I'll revert my edits. - Dudesleeper Talk 00:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Heroes peer review

I noticed that your user name was on the Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers list. I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

Wallwork stats

I've knocked up a stats table for Ronnie Wallwork in my sandbox. Do you think this looks OK? I'm worried that the many loan spells clutter it up. Also do you know where we might get the Antwerp stats from? Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 18:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The Royal Antwerp website gave me almost everything I needed, and I've emailed them to see if they can point me towards me the final detail I need. From their site, it seems that he played in 16 league games (scoring 2 goals), and 3 playoff games. But he also played in two other games (scoring no goals), one of which was a friendly:
  • 10.01.99 Standaard Wetteren - R.A.F.C. 0-6
  • 27.02.99 K.F.C. Dessel Sport - R.A.F.C. 2-1
So I just need to know which competition one of the above matches was in. I agree about the alignment and will sort that out before I put it in the article. --Jameboy (talk) 21:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Cheers. You're right, that was a league game, I'd overlooked it (oops). So that's 17 league, 3 playoff, and one friendly (which we'll ignore). I'll move the stats into the article pretty soon. --Jameboy (talk) 22:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Toronto Raptors

Hi again, I think it's just North American sports parlance to have it (more typically at least) as "Game 7" rather than "game seven"; as for the draft position, yes I think eighth over 8th is correct. Chensiyuan (talk) 23:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

ITFC stats

Midway through inviting you to comment, I noticed you already had! Anyway, firstly thanks for that, but more importantly (as far as I'm concerned), what do you think to me attempting either WP:FL or WP:FA on this? It'd be a precedent I think so I appreciate any comments. Cheers so far! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd appreciate some more discussion at WP:FOOTBALL because judging by how the Liverpool stats PR/FLC went, this is going to be difficult! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Cool. I'm working through your comments by the way... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and should you have a minute, List of Rangers F.C. players is floundering, borderline FLC fail. It's much, much better than it was on first review... The Rambling Man (talk) 09:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
While I wouldn't wish to canvass, how you "comment" should I elevate the stats article to WP:FLC? Just out of interest you understand! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Well, keep your eyes peeled, it's sitting at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Ipswich Town F.C. statistics and records for the world to decide! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your interjection at the FLC, not sure what CrzyCheetah is after but I'm trying my best to explain what I think is going on! Got to go careful on this (potential) precedent...! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm trying to explain that coming fifth doesn't justify a footnote because if it did then I'd need to justify every single qualification. We'll see. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for tidying up the stuff I added last night, I should have been asleep by then. Looks like Crzycheetah has been satisfied anyway! Just need some more support from the project and I'll feel happy. Have a good day, The Rambling Man (talk) 07:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Haworth

Hi, you removed my addition of Haworth Cat Rescue as a "blatant advert". The addition of Haworth Cat Rescue was not intended to be an advert, but I do think that the organisation is notable enough to have an entry on the Haworth article - They have been established in excess of 10 years and have won a national award. I did consider writing an article on them but it would have been difficult to write it as I would have mainly had to rely on the various webpages from Haworth Cat Rescue, which I agree would have looked like blatant advertising. I propose discussing this on the talk page of the Haworth article. Mjroots (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Villa recent history

Hi, with regards to the decade notations, I prefer them in the written form. To me this flows much better and looks better. Throughout this article it is consistent and the MOS does not pontificate on this issue. I do accept that 1980s is future proofed but that is a problem for five years time from now. If you really disagree however, I will remove them. Have you got any other issues? Thanks for the review! Woody (talk) 21:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey Peanut, have you got any outstanding concerns with this FAC? Thanks again for your review. Woody (talk) 15:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

ITFC stats

Hey, yeah it's difficult. I sit and watch WP:FLC like a hawk, for instance in the past couple of days I've reviewed an NHL hockey trophy list, a list of tall buildings in Manchester, a list of Tendulkar's centuries and the series list of Peep Show. I'm no expert in any of those really. If people look at the list and don't want to review it at WP:FLC then I'm not really sure what we can do about it! I take your point, which really is valid for all lists (hence my activity there), a non-expert is always a valuable reviewer. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand your concern - it's setting a precedent (as can be seen by the sudden interest in such lists for other clubs) which means it should be as high quality as possible. We'll see - I don't mind if subsequent FLCs pick things up which I'll flow back into the ITFC one. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Bradford City article improvement

Hi Peanut, I think it's time that the Bradford club page was improved drastically - its lack of references is shameful, but what is your opinion? I don't want to start any article improvement (which should include a seperate History of Bradford City A.F.C. page) until I gauge it with you. By the way, I like your new Bantams-inspired userpage, looks very smart! GiantSnowman (talk) 16:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Seeing as you've made a start on the history on your subpage I will leave that completely in your hands, and will clean up some bits and bobs on the main article page. Cheers, GiantSnowman (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Wow, that looks great! I've added a quick point about the club colours being descended from Manningham Rugby Club, and maybe you could add a bit about the Manningham club, i.e. formed in 1880 and were the founder members of the break away Northern Rugby Union (later the Rugby League) - have a look at Historical Kits for that info. But good work, realy well done! GiantSnowman (talk) 14:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Barry Conlon

Blimey, that brings back memories. Quite possibly the worst striker ever to play for us. His occasional sub appearances had a certain cult status due to the fact he was balding despite still being a teenager. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Surely its because the willing-but-not-so-able players play in the exact same manner us fans would if we were on the pitch. For me, it epitomised by the time we had both Shaun Goater and George Weah on the bench, and it was Goater's name we were singing. Scoring winning goals away to Macclesfield and Colchester gets far more respect than winning World Player of the Year. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that policy.

I think it should be OK to fix the redirects as the article Football (soccer) is highly unlikely to be created in its own right and I'm not introducing excessive piped link text (normally an extra three characters). I'm running a scan on AWB to check for all sorts of minor fixes, so I'm not just changing these redirects (although that may be the case on some pages) - I've got better things to do with my time :-)

Thanks again, Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 14:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Capitalisation of FA Cup rounds

According to this link, each round of the FA Cup is referred to as a proper noun, hence "First Round Qualifying", "Extra Preliminary Round" and "Fifth Round Proper". Furthermore, BBC Sport reports here that the word "Round" in "Player of the Round" should be capitalised. – PeeJay 23:07, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

It seems the BBC are remarkably inconsistent with things like this. On their main FA Cup news page (here), they use "1st Round", "2nd Round", etc. (i.e. numeric ordinals and "Round" capitalised), while on their FA Cup fixtures page (here), they refer to the "Sixth Round". Still, no matter. I wouldn't view it as a case of winning or losing though. Wiki isn't a competition :P – PeeJay 23:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Haha. I know what you mean about overuse of capitals, but I think, in this case, it's justified. Either way, no use fussing about it now. – PeeJay 23:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Notability

Concerning your question on notability, see my comments here and here. I'm very dissapointed that people chose not to reply, I couldn't really raise the issue with any of the main contributors to the new criteria (yourself, PJ, 57, Angelo, Matt etc) to avoid percieved COI. I was very pleased when we finally got some well thought out, simple unambiguous criteria and was looking forward to AfDs without constant questions about and redefinitions of the criteria (what about xxx precident, what about the Anderlecht problem etc) but when the new criteria were undermined by people citing one sentence from WP:ATHLETE I basically gave up on WP:FOOTY (for now?). I've got plenty of articles and categories to work on, sod trying to create a set of decent notability criteria for other areas of the game if other people basically ignore them in favour of the status quo. Kind regards as always English peasant 00:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Jonathan Grounds

Apologies for my mistake! Though at the time, I did look at the MFC website and I'm sure I recall it being listed as Jonathon in the squad list - hence why I chose to move it. I considered it (wrongly) to be more likely to be correct than the other sources, however it seems it has since been corrected there. Feel free to move it back to the right spelling. --Simmo676 (talk) 23:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review idea

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.

There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).

If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Liverpool F.C. seasons

Hi Peanut, I've dealt with your comments at the FLC, and I think I've improved the prose as a whole now. Feel free to add any more comments NapHit (talk) 13:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to keep on pestering you, but I've rectified the short sentences problems, hopefully, have a look when you can. Cheers NapHit (talk) 15:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

"major honours"

Weird, we cross-posted entirely independently on this topic. Read what I said on the FLC and let me know what you think... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I wasn't trying to make a point at the FLC but I'm just really wary that there's going to be a major shift soon on these lists. Generalising, the US contributors who are complaining about our selective lists don't have thousands of inclusions to worry about, it's going to be a challenge. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Some list! Took a while to arrive on my screen. Well, perhaps that's the only way forward then... Good luck with your list whatever you decide to do, I'm sticking with highly constrained areas of football from now on! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you please have a go at cleaning Andy Reid, because I know you are good at this type of stuff. Thanks.  Sunderland06  18:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

GA

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, no matter how small. If you're planning on reviewing any particular article, please make sure to place #:{{GAReview}} ~~~~ underneath the nomination listing at WP:GAC. Remember that it's important to stick to reviewing per the GA criteria, not just what a "good" article usually looks like. Best of luck, VanTucky 00:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Oscar Pistorius: GA review

List of UEFA club tournament winning managers

Hi Peanut, just wondered if you could spare five minutes (or more!) reviewing the above, it's sat at FLC for several days no without comment and I'd like to push it on a bit. Hope you're having a good Easter, all the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 10:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Fairs Cup query

this is a bit of a belated reply, so I might be too late, but I think it's arguable each way. Personally, I think if UEFA say "it's unofficial" it's OR for us to disagree and therefore include it. Cheers --Dweller (talk) 10:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Player lists

Hm, I see what you mean. Maybe it could be made easier to load by substing the flags & flag templates? After all they aren't going to be changed much. Qwghlm (talk) 00:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Strange...

See my comment at the FLC. Something odd is happening with the article: I make the changes, but they don't show up, despite the fact that I purged the cache afterwards. Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for all of your MoS fixes to Aberdeen F.C.. Looks like I didn't get them all! I appreciate it!

weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 08:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I don't think there are enough to warrant a separate article, and are probably best removed. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 11:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I will make a separate article. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 19:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I saw the Arsenal F.C. list of that description, I was basing most of the article on that one anyway. They've all played 100 games. Should I lower that requirement for this one? weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's a very short list at the minute, but I don't have an immediate resource for the pre 1947 data. I'd have to make it 1947-present. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, but I think I'll include only the most notable (say, 50 apps) to begin with. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to go with 100 as this is a very common feature in the lists, especially the featured ones. Also easier =P weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't get one of your suggestions in the GA Review, the article makes no mention of Donald Addison... weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 09:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Strike that, I found it. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 09:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Y Done them all, I think. Can you have another look? weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 11:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Cheers mate, that's my first ever GA! Thanks a lot for taking the time to review it, and for giving such a detailed list of improvements. Hope to see it on the main page soon ^^ weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 14:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
It's only the second Scottish football GA, ironically behind rivals Dundee United F.C.. But we beat Rangers F.C. at something this year! =P weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 15:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I'll undo that then - I just thought it was bloating the references section at the bottom. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok. By the way, doesn't WP:DASH say to use hyphens in scores? I quote: "Hyphens are often wrongly used for disjunction in Wikipedia; this is especially common in sports scores." weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to have kept you in limbo a little, and thanks for being patient enough to drop me a message -- have seen plenty of reviewers adhere strictly to deadlines (imposed or imaginary). I've addressed maybe 80% of the remaining concerns. Pending your replies, we might be able to resolve all of them quite quickly.

Valley Parade

I'm attempting to do a bit of copyediting, but didn't make changes in a couple of places for fear of changing the intended meaning. I'm leaving comments on the talk page as I go to clarify, plus a couple of comments about small issues. Oldelpaso (talk) 18:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

More Valley Parade

Thanks for the note about administration. Unless you feel you need to know more for your own sake, I'd leave the matter as it is - the time could be better spent I'm sure. I'm sure you're OK for FA now. Brianboulton (talk) 22:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review request - 2006 FIFA World Cup

Hello! I have added the 2006 FIFA World Cup article to peer review. Any suggestions you might have on how the article can be improved are welcome :) Thanks for your time,  ARTYOM  20:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Graeme Smith

having done improvements to the above article. Could you tell me of any further improvements that need to be made as I believe it is now up to GA status. If it is not I apologise for wasting your time. It is the first article that have done major edits to and therefore my idea or a GA may be different from yours. Thanks for the GA review earlier by the way. 02blythed (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Comprehensive long lists‎ discussion

Hello, I noticed that you took part in the recent FLRC for List of Arsenal F.C. players and thought you might be interested in participating in a new discussion. The FLRC was closed as no consensus and it is clear the the issue of incompleteness in longer FLs is not over, so a discussion page has been started here. Please feel free to comment. -- Scorpion0422 21:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations

on Valley Parade's shiny new star. May it give me inspiration — I've been intending for about six months to rewrite St Andrews (stadium) which is about 85% copyvio and 35% something else entirely at the moment. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Aberdeen

Indeed I am. Thanks again for all of the comments to improve it - they've been invaluable so far. Hopefully - like Valley Parade (great job) - it'll be featured :D Thanks again. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 19:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

1995 Japanese Grand Prix

Hi Peanut4. I notice you are down as a peer review volunteer under the everydaylife section, covering sports. I was wondering whether you could possibly peer review the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article for me. The peer review is located here. Regards, D.M.N. (talk) 09:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll get to your comments right away. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 15:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I've replied to your comments. If you feel any of your comments I've now resolved, can you strike them so I know what I still need to deal with. Also, as you have reviewed this article for me, are there any articles by any chance you need reviewing. If so, I will happily review it for you in exchange. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it's because it's seen as trivia and cruft, and also because it's already in the main season article. Anyway, I'm probably going to make a new paragraph outlining the points situation in the post-race section. D.M.N. (talk) 20:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Your right, it would probably be easier to read in table format. When it was being inserted before, it was being inserted by just IP's as plain text all the time. I'm going to prepart something in my sandbox. D.M.N. (talk) 20:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kyle Nix

You're welcome for the GA review. I hope I didn't rush it or anything. Thank you for addressing some of the concerns I've left at the talk page. If more can be done, I will go on and pass the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank God, I didn't want to be seem as a GA "rusher". ;) Thank you for taking the time to clarifying the stuff I left at the talk page, because you now have a GA in your midst. Congratulations. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:17, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Then we're cool then. ;) I know, like the past articles I've reviewed Stuart Elliott (footballer born 1977) and Liam Miller, are short and easy to review. That's why I give the reviews because their easy to read and understand. And, its a pleasure when I review the football "soccer" articles. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
