Hi! Thanks for the feedback on my edits on Rob Davies. I'm not sure how far you can interpret the example info-box on the Player MoS. One thing seems certain; writing the full name (including e.g. F.C.) or not seem to vary from taskforce to taskforce. I personally think that there are good reasons to shorten club names in the limited space within the info-box. As you're probably aware of there are a lot of long full names in Spain and across the latin world (e.g. RS Gimnástica de Torrelavega, Universidad de Las Palmas CF, Associação Académica de Coimbra - O.A.F. and Club Social y Deportivo Defensa y Justicia). Writing full names works better with British clubs, who more often are at the clubs' common name. Concerning the italics, I only did what we usually do on Italian, Spanish and South American players, but it's not really an issue for me so if it's an important thing for you just lose the italics. Sebisthlm ( talk) 20:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. It seems that including the F.C. or not are at best uncertain judging by this discussion. Sebisthlm ( talk) 20:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you posted a WBA team photo on the 1912 Cup Final page. I've updated this page using a couple of online sources and the Guardian review of the game. I plan to right a summary of the replay in the next couple of days. The photo really helps lift the page an it would be great if you could add anything on the WBA side. -- Gmac101 ( talk) 12:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Good luck in the draw - Perhaps we'll get a repeat of the 1912 Final line up!

Hi, this is a page that a group of us have been trying to improve. It is currently rated as a Start page and various things have been down to upgrade it to a B or Good Page. We believe this page is now very informative and well structured with useful headings. More pictures have also been added and we now believe it is not far off the standards of pages such as Ipswich Town F.C. and Arsenal F.C.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Officially Mr X ( talk • contribs) 23:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The referee should go on too, after that "red card"! Dan1980 ( talk | stalk) 13:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar. Plenty of work still to do though! I've scanned about 7,000 articles and I've still got 4,000 left to check. And that's just for players from the UK and Ireland! Dan1980 ( talk ♦ stalk) 00:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it did look very POV, if you know what I mean. Good luck against Portsmouth though ;) WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN tell me a joke... 11:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the duplicate warning on User talk:77.100.172.232. I didnt know you had beaten me to the revert! Thanks and have a nice night :-) TheProf | Talk 21:18, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
How bout you tell me how you know for a fact that the information that I provided is false. Any person that knows Garth Crooks would also know that he is clearly capable of eating several bags of flour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.150.57 ( talk) 11:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey thanks for your comments at the FLC, I've addressed the captions and hopefully there less repetitive now, if you could have another look when you have time that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers NapHit ( talk) 22:16, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Jameboy, you recently removed a hyperlink I added to the page for York City Football Club. During the summer, when York City are no longer playing league games, their players are eligible to play in the aforementioned Four Nations Tournament. Information on the Four Nations site will allow the reader to find out more about York City FC. Please re-instate the hyperlink or explain your reasons for contnued removal. Thanks, FooMed —Preceding unsigned comment added by Foo-med ( talk • contribs) 11:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you took part in the recent FLRC for List of Arsenal F.C. players and thought you might be interested in participating in a new discussion. The FLRC was closed as no consensus and it is clear the the issue of incompleteness in longer FLs is not over, so a discussion page has been started here. Please feel free to comment. -- Scorpion 0422 21:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Theo ( Google results) I actually looked up Theo in the hopes of finding information on the OpenBSD creator. The point is disamb. pages is to help people find what they are looking for. As such, Theo should be listed on the page. Also note that Theodore, Theobald, and Theodosius are all disamb. pages but also serve as an index of well known persons.

I wanted to create titty as a redirect to breast, but noticed that it was previously deleted (by you) as "patent nonsense". Could you explain why this is not a valid redirect? Thanks. -- Jameboy ( talk) 00:49, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Dear Jameboy!
I'm a hungarian wikipedia editor. I saw that you made articles about West Brom. I wrote the Gera article in huwiki, please see this: hu:Gera Zoltán (labdarúgó). So this article english version had a little problem. Some user correct the club apparences to wrong data. Read this: Talk:Zoltán Gera#Club apparences. I would like to ask your help, if continue this mistake. Do you manage to Gera article will be semmi-protect? I thak this, if it will be necessary.
Thanks a lot: Warmuz ¤ talk 15:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for letting me know about this, it's good to now that i can insert current date by typing 5 tildes, instead of typing it. Cheers Sergiogr ( talk) 17:39, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I am in much wonder why user:Jamesboy has revert one of my recent edits. The edit was adding a series to a title link. I feel title links are important as they help readers find desired pages easy. Could user:Jamesboy expand on comment. Please post comment on page in question disc. to question changes. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jangaroo ( talk • contribs) 12:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there Jameboy, VASCO here,
On April 27, you asked if i wanted to join WikiProject Football, which i very much appreciated, thank you very much!
On that subject, comes one explanation and one request:
and ask him what his beef with me is/might be? In any case, i think it is not very polite to stay silent when being talked to, but he would know...
Still definitely wondering about leaving WP 4 good,

Its true, ive been a season ticket holder at leicester for 10 years and everyone involved with the club knows this. I can understand what you are saying but its not 'non neutral' as 285,000 people think this !!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curtbob7 ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
apologies! There are at least 10 people who can access this computer, but I have a good idea who is the WBA fan/hater or, it would seem, a mixture of the 2. This won't happen again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.253.102 ( talk) 01:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
