Has any thought been given to requesting semi-protection for this article? I've had it on my watchlist for a while and it seems to me that none registered users contributions seem to be limited to vandalising it every couple of days. The articles for most of the "big" clubs are indefinitely protected in this way.

Someone mention Burnley's rivals.-- Sammanhumagain ( talk) 11:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
This article contains a
list of miscellaneous information. |
As advised by this tag, I incorporated much of the material from this section into the article proper. @ Welovevenkys: can you please explain why you are reverting that change? Nikkimaria ( talk) 11:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
A lot of editors had questions about the information I added to the introduction. I do not quite understand it, while I have used reliable sources and I have cited all my additions. Most of the information come from the book "Never Had it So Good: Burnley's Incredible 1959/60 League Title Triumph" by Tim Quelch (2015) and I have tried e.g. as precisely as possible to indicate the pages/chapters I used for my additions. I would like to return my additions, as in my opinion there is nothing wrong with it. I like to hear you opinions.
Yours sincerely,
Welovevenkys

I've noticed that the football club has just released the colours of their away kit but I have no knowledge on how to change the colours in the club infobox kits. Is there someone with that experience who can deal with this? Iggy ( Swan) 15:27, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
I have just modified an external link on Burnley F.C.. The reason for it is - "An unofficial forum and not a credible resource". Please take a moment to review the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevenknieling ( talk • contribs) 00:52, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Burnley FC Supporter here. I agree with removing this. It is a poorly moderated forum too and has some threads that are political and might be offensive. I invite other editors to have a look to the edit made and keep it removed from the page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tenacioustina ( talk • contribs) 03:12, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
It has been confirmed on many external sources [1] [2] [3] that Ashley Barnes cannot, and is ineligible to represent Austria internationally under FIFA eligibility rules. The source [4] from Burnley FC's website is therefore incorrect when it says Barnes is an Austrian international. Unless additional sources are provided showing that he can represent Austria in international football, please refrain from repeatedly changing his nationality to Austrian on the Burnley FC page.
Multiple senior users such as " Mattythewhite" and " Iggy the Swan" have accused me of 'edit warring' and/or have constantly been reverting my correct edits; which I believe is an abuse of power. " Mattythewhite" has also threatened me with a potential user account block.

I was a little confused about "the BBC Television sporting panel show They Think It's All A Question of Sport". The piped link is to They Think It's All Over (TV series), which explains that TTIAaQoS was an occasional Sport Relief one-off version (done twice... two-off?). Perhaps the unfamiliar programme name might be briefly explained? Or is it wrong - the source mentions A Question of Sport? Paul W ( talk) 12:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I've reverted your edit (again) as it's certainly no improvement. "It completed the 2019–20 season 10th in the Premier League, the top tier of English football." is in no way a correct English sentence. Furthermore, it's redundant to put the club's 2019–20 finishing position in the lead. The article is running at WP:FAC so I suggest you stop vandalizing the page.

He has came on for his Premier League debut, does that mean he’s eligible to be in the “current squad” tab, thanks. AngusMacintosh ( talk) 13:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
While working thru November 2010 Orphan articles, I came across these biographies & am hoping to clear out their orphan status.
Hi @ WA8MTWAYC: - thanks for your comments on those reverts. I did not realize FA status or these are minor footballers. Just wondering, even though a handful of people,
Would it be okay to create a page to gather them? For example "List of Burnley F.C. early players". Then any future early players could be added there. And they would not be within any of the Burnley-related articles you mentioned.
Or if not notable, should they be tagged for deletion? Even though I have worked on orphan articles from time-to-time, this is a rare experience having additions reverted so I do value your thoughts & opinions. Thanks. JoeNMLC ( talk) 19:22, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
@ WA8MTWAYC: - Still mulling over about these footballer articles. Last night, I found about how to move an article into Draft space here. And there is already Category:Draft-Class football articles so this could be a good option, especially for long-time articles, instead of tagging to delete. JoeNMLC ( talk) 15:17, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
As Burnley FC are in fact a direct continuation of Burnley Rovers (founded September 1874) why is the foundation date continually misrepresented as 18 May 1882 ? All that happened that evening was that the existing club dropped the Rovers suffix and adopted association rules having to that date played both codes. 2A00:23C8:2B80:4E01:586F:66DB:81AC:F2C3 ( talk) 15:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
The origins of the club can be traced quite easily through the British Newspaper archive .. the fact that 18 May 1882 has been chosen by the club in later years for ease of understanding / marketing purposes does not make that date correct . 2A00:23C8:2B80:4E01:586F:66DB:81AC:F2C3 ( talk) 15:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
That's the trouble with Wikipedia I suppose .. the reliance upon the invention of tradition and the misconceptions of well-meaning amateur historians. 2A00:23C8:2B80:4E01:F40D:D16:C6D6:DEA7 ( talk) 09:02, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
