Hi, how are you? I just wanted to say thanks for your help with my article about wheelchair soccer. It's the first article I've contributed! It's all written from my own experience as a player. Is that okay? I mean apart from linking to the Victorian Soccer Federation, there's no real way to verify what I have written. I know it's true, because I was there, but that's about it. What should I do?
Also, is there a way of saying that the rules and gameplay I discuss in the article are specific only to Victoria and the league in which I play. I have no knowledge of whether wheelchair soccer is played elsewhere. Does that make sense?
Thanks. MJ Digs 02:34, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I added a speedy delete tag to the article. I did this before I noticed you had removed a previous tag. I really do think this article does not comply with CSD criterion A7, and since Jsc83 apparently agrees, I didn't remove the tag myself. I won't mind at all if you do remove the tag (please do so if you disagree at all), but I will take nominate at AFD. Thanks, nadav ( talk) 10:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Just pushing my luck. Thought that it was a fairly decent bluff on the img that is still there. Will leave Matt King article as is. Cheers mate. Londo06 14:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there; it was agreed some months ago, after extensive discussion at the village pump, that certain articles which regularly attracted high levels of offensive vandalism should be permanently semi-protected. This article was one such. I have accordingly re-applies a semi-protection to it.-- Anthony.bradbury 22:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Mark. There was actually quite a long debate on the permanent protection issue, and this article was secifically included. Honest! As to the notification of its being protected, I agree. When it was first protected it was not done by me - I was not an admin at the time. As to the vulnerability of the article; if you feel like looking back a few months you will see quite a high level of vandal activity. Certain not as much as George W Bush attracts, but the main thrust of the argument which I and
User:PascalTesson, who co-sponsored the policy change (and who has obviously changed his name), put forward was that nobody (except perhaps his family and friends) would be upset by vandalism to the Bush article. Whereas some of the grossly anti-semitic additions to the Auschwitz page would be deeply distressing to survivors of the Holocaust and to their families; even more so to the families of those who died in the extermination camps.
You have been an admin longer than I have, and I was very concerned not to step on your toes. Hence my first message. Your userpage says that you are not always here, so I thought that you might well have missed the discussion on this topic.-- Anthony.bradbury 16:19, 30 May 2007 (
