[edit] Jeffrey Archer

I saw your comments on SqueakBox's talk page, and decided to reply to you here as well.

If you check the Members of the House of Lords page, it has a full list of the members. A large number of them have the full title in the lead (I don't mean the page name, just the lead), for example:

While I fully agree Wikipedia articles should be consistent, it is possible that what you think is the correct format is incorrect so it's better to check first. The style manual states that Rule here is, "So-and-so, ordinal (if appropriate) title (of) place" for members of the hereditary Peerage, then goes on to state Life peers (ie, people who have peerages awarded exclusively for their lifetime but who neither inherit it nor pass it on to anyone else)ยน use the same standard as for hereditary peers. So by my understanding of it, we are supposed to include the place name. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 21:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gardner Is Under Contract

Hello mate,

I've noticed that you've removed Scott Gardner from the Leeds United squad, on the Leeds United page. Your explanation is that he's not officially signed yet.

He signed a new contract with the club at the end of last season, at the same time as Ben Parker and Gavin Rothery.

He signed this contract, a one-year deal, on June 19. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6767085.stm

Kind Regards,

Standingfish.

Hi. The reason I removed these players is that they weren't part of the 17 players which leeds stated were under full contracts at the club towards the end of the administration period. This story confirms that the players have just signed and this article was put up on Leeds' web-site after I made the edit, making the edit legitimate. I was simply trying to keep the information on the page correct. The BBC (as did sky sports) after all did report that creswell's transfer to hull was complete only to report later that it in-fact hadn't theerefore they make have not kept the article you found up-to date. I hope this explains my reasoning. Chappy TC 18:38, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't trust the squad page on the official website. As of the point I'm writing this message there two number 4s, 7s, 8s, 11s, 15s & 16s, plus I've seen players leave the club and then stay on there for weeks after. They don't seem amazingly bothered about keeping it up-to date, anyway was just a quick note. Chappy TC 11:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leeds United Questions

Squad Numbers: If you look back through the history of Leeds' squad numbers (or at least since I can remember from back to 1993) the numbers 12 or 13 aren't always used. The number 12 has only been used for a couple of seasons by Leeds as far as I can remember with the number 13 not being used in one season. Unofficially the number 12 isn't usually used as the "fans are the 12th man" however this isn't usually confirmed by most clubs. Maybe Wise has got superstitious with the number 13. as for Lund not getting a number I don't know Wise's logic on that one since we need at least two keepers.

Players Released: Regarding the other 4 "released players" I will point out that these players were "Free Transfer Currently on Transfer List" which means that they will be on rolling contracts until they sign for other clubs, so technically still on Leeds' books.

Note on youngsters. Normally pages on footballers are only allowed on wikipedia once they have an appearance in a fully professional competition (i.e. in England this is the premiership, championship, league one, league two, the fa cup (not preliminary rounds), the league (carling) cup and the football league trophy (johnstones paint)), meaning all of the players currently on Farsley's books that haven't played above the conference should have their pages deleted. This means that players such as Liam Darville qualify for Deletion and should be listed as such on WP:Football, along with any of the farsley players that haven't made fully professional appearances.

Quick Note: You seem to be signing your comments manually. If you use the four tides ~~~~ it saves time, provides links to you user-page, making it easier for people to respond, and also provides the date and time you left the comment so people know how long ago you left the message.

[edit] David Oldfield/Paul Tisdale

Hi and thank you! David Oldfield as you said dressed the English shirt so I consider him English. Paul Tisdale has been excluded 'cause in his article page is said he is a a former England youth international. However, I'm not mantaining the list anymore, Chanheigeorge is doing a great job but has changed many of my original criteria, as you can see in the talk page. So, if you want, you'd better discuss this two cases there! Thanks again! --necronudist (talk) 10:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
