Hello Hamilton8, welcome to Wikipedia. I notice you've been editing an article on the England's bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. First off, the name of the article would probably be, to conform with the norms, "English 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bid". You can use the move tab at the top of an article to change the name. Second, as an editor of the larger article on the World Cup bids, I had hoped to keep info there, but if there is really too much, then maybe it is time for a branched-off article.

But my main concern is the "Host Cities & Proposed Venues" section. I had heard that a number of cities had written to the FA to express their interest in hosting, and that's noted in the England section, but I hadn't seen anything about proposed venues as part of a bid. There was an ugly spat last year over a table of venues that editors though could be part of an eventual proposal. Until the details of the bid are formulated and published by reliable sources, I still don't see a place for a section like this on Wikipedia. I know it's hard to imagine a bid without Wembley Stadium, but until the bid association publishes their list and sends it of to FIFA, this is considered " original research", and specifically " crystal balling", and its banned on Wikipedia because we just don't know what will be in the bid yet. So I'm asking you to remove the sections on each of the cities and stadiums.

I am aware of the English soccer fans feelings about hosting the World Cup, and because of this I'd prefer not to get involved myself and make myself out to by the bad guy, so I hope you understand the reasons behind this. Let me know if you have any questions about the articles or editing in general.-- Patrick «» 01:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks, the page looks good. I'll try to give it some actual work this week when I get a chance.-- Patrick «» 00:51, 21 June 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Beckhambrownrooneyatwembley.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.35.224 ( talk) 03:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC) reply

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Future of Formula One. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Future of Formula One. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:08, 13 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Re: List of English Football League managers; any reason why you have reverted Russell Slade's appointment until the end of the season as "permanent", while Paul Fairclough's tenure to the same date is labelled as caretaker? If there is a reason, it does not show in edit history. At the moment, it seems inconsistent. I trust the change I'm about to make to your Steve Coppell entry makes sense.

Karl Robinson's page gives no biographical background: by what evidence do you assert that he is English? Kevin McE ( talk) 14:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Mercedesgppetronasformulaoneteam.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot ( talk) 05:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC) reply
