[edit] Main article

Its about time we started using this page. Now its been through its peer review we can think about nominating the main ariticle for FA status. The crest section is a bit weak I think. It could do with infomation about how the new crest came about. I also remember them reverting to the old one briefly, can anyone remember exactly when that was. Anyone else think of any problems? josh (talk) 17:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Today's Featured Article suggestion

I have suggested Sheffield Wednesday F.C. for use on the Main Page as Today's featured article. I have used the club crest as the thumb image to accompany it, does anyone think that any of the other images would be better. Please feel free to add your comments here. -- Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 19:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

Sheffield Wednesday F.C. squad, part of the SWFC project, is up for deletion and no-one seems to be defending it (apart from me, a Unitedite for 50 years) although it has been worked on for 6 months or so. roundhouse 20:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wednesdayite

Hey all, there is an article on Wednesdayite which is up for deletion and needs some TLC, I have cleaned it up and added some independent citations, but it needs defending and a little more work on the article if possible - it would be a shame to lose this as people are generalising that Wednesdayite is just a generic term for fans and don't undeerstand that it is also a big political point as well as a large fans trust. 82.38.202.151 22:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football task force

For anyone that's interested, there is now an England task force at Wikiproject:Football. You can find it at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Football/England task force. Paulbrock 11:24, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Pressman

I'd really appreciate any help you Wednesdayites could provide with the Kevin Pressman article. His infobox stats were badly wrong - I've tried to to clean them up as best I can but as I'm relying on soccerbase I'm not sure my information is accurate. Any help would be great. --Jameboy (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

In particular his league apps for Wednesday... soccerbase has 406, Neil Brown has 404... --Jameboy (talk) 23:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Soccerbase seem to have got an extra two appearances from somewhere. the official SWFC website has Pressman down for 478 total appearances, whereas Soccerbase has 480, so I would go with the Neil Brown figure of 404. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 23:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cyril Walker (footballer) just restored from speedy deletion

OK 'nuff said. Anyone wanna expand it? cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:05, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ronnie Wallwork

I'm trying to get Ronnie Wallwork up to GA. Although not mandatory, an image or two would improve the article. Could anyone here provide an image of Ronnie? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 22:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alfred Strange

Hi - in my attempts to create articles for all significant England players I have created an article on Alfred Strange. Could some-one more knowledgeable about Wednesday review the article and add anything useful. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 09:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. staff

I don't see that Wednesday staff outside of the playing management is of much encyclopedic value. Would anyone object to moving the page to List of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. managers. Brian Laws support staff could be covered with a paragraph in the lead and we could concentrate on getting it to featured status ala List of Aston Villa managers. josh (talk) 02:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I was only thinking that this would be a good idea a couple of weeks ago. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 15:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ellis Rimmer

Hi there, I am fairly new to Wikipedia but am expanding the article on my grandfather Harry Burgess who played for Wednesday in the 1930s. I noticed that one of his best friends, Wednesday legend Ellis Rimmer doesn't have a page on Wikipedia for some reason. If you would like me to add a page on him while I am researching Harry's career then I would be happy to. I have been fairly successful working out how to edit the pages but am not sure how to start a new page. Could someone help me with this? Also if there are any other players from that era who need a page then I could have a crack at them too. PS are there any pro forma player pages that I should follow?

Clicking here will take you to the page for starting the page. It will include instructions about starting the page. The most important thing to do with a new page is making sure that you establish what is notable about the subject with refs. England stats has a page about his England career. If you include a link to it somewhere on the page it will make sure no one tries to get the page deleted. Footy player pages usually use {{football player infobox}} at the top of the page as well. josh (talk) 19:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
