Hi there, welcome to wikipedia. I have noticed some of your edits on my travels, and I would just like to politely point out some of the guidlines on Wikipedia. Some of your recent edits have been a bit recentist in that they are acting as a week-to-week fanzine for a player, such as your edit to Ashley Cole. Think of it this way, in ten years, will they need to know that he was dropped for a couple of games. If you have any questions or queries, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page.

Sounds like a story for the National Enquirer.... I watched the race, as it happens. You and I have different interpretations of what happened. You think Raikkonen chopped, I'd say he lifted off mid-corner to put Hamilton off. It doesn't really matter what either of us think; in Wikipedia we need to reference stuff like that. I'm reverting to a version that reflects what the reference used actually says. All you need to do is to find a source that says that Raikkonen chopped Hamilton and put it in. Youtube is no good because it relies on your (or my) interpretation of what we can see, and I guess it's unlikely that either of us would be considered relevant experts by the world at large.
Regarding the bollocks, best not to use that kind of language in making your points. Wikipedia is not censored, but some might consider it a violation of WP:CIVIL. We don't 'know' each other (in the Wikipedian sense) so I don't really know whether it's friendly banter for you or aggressive behaviour.
Anyway, enough sermonising from me - hope you enjoy editing at Wikipedia! Cheers. 4u1e ( talk) 10:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Please consider whether "soccer" is not better than "football" when referring to a term that is commonly used in three variants of "football", namely association football, rugby union, and rugby league. "Soccer" is not wrong but you seem to have a bee in your bonnet over this. Jimmy Pitt ( talk) 14:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Just put football, thats what people call it.
Could you have a look at Talk:Home Nations please. It is better to discuss the changes to the article here rather than waste time with edit wars. GordyB ( talk) 10:25, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the recent edit you made to Wales has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.
