fc edit
Hi, I would like clarification concerning your AWB editing of the football (soccer) entries from, for example, ((fc|Example Team)) to [[Example Team F.C.|Example Team]]. According to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Templates the ((fc)) option is the correct one. → friedfish 16:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Templates such as ((fc)) and ((afc)) are not intended to be left inline, they should be substituted. I've left a note explaining usage at the page you mentioned. Robwingfield (talk) 17:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Couple of changes I have submitted, Rob.
Killies top league scorer William Culley not Gillies
Changed positions mentioned in article for Naismith and Invincibile.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by LondonKillie (talk • contribs) 13:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Reversions
No problem! I have you on my watch list now. I generally do anon IP recent changes and if i see an anon IP editing a named user page, it is almost always vandalism! I keep my eye out. Keep up the good work! If you need help with anything, let me know. Chris Kreider 15:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Thomas Burns
Hi - I've changed the Thomas Burns (vicar) redlink to Thomas Burns (New Zealand). Firstly it's inaccurate to call him a vicar (he was a rector), and secondly it doesn't really indicate what he's best remembered for - a bit like saying "Condoleezza Rice (pianist)" or "Terry Venables (scriptwriter)". Grutness...wha? 05:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Bulmershe School
You have just reverted the Bulmershe School article and removed all my edits including lots of helpful external links. The article as it now stands does not make any sense. It implies that the school is still a grammar school. There is no point whatsoever in including the breakdown of the ethnicity of the pupils. The page just looks a mess without the proper citations. Changes need to be discussed on the talk page. I will revert to my previous edit. I was trying to improve the article. As it stands it could well be a candidate for deletion again. Dahliarose
- I've kept your edits to the external links, but readded the other content with full citations. The Kingfisher Table Tennis Club is irrelevant, and should have its own article if notable. The article could well be a future candidate for deletion, but as it was proven notable before (and now has full citations to prove), the nomination would fail. Can we discuss here or at Talk:The Bulmershe School before you remove the content in future? robwingfield «T•C» 16:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I think we need to continue this discussion on the Bulmershe discussion page. I will add some comments there in a minute. Dahliarose 17:32, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

My user page
Hi.. I saw you edit my user page. Please don't. -- Mattythewhite 15:55, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Quite a while ago now, but yes. I was just correcting your typos (which I see you've just reverted back in!)... and there's no WP policy against it... but if you'd rather I didn't, I'm happy to oblige. robwingfield «T•C» 16:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the reason I was so concerned was as my user page was mostly blank.. so I reverted it to my last version and was still so. I guess its okay for you to fix typos on my page.. I over reacted a little. -- Mattythewhite 19:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
"American soccer player"/"American footballer"
Just wondering if this change is standard policy now or something. I'm supportive of the change (NFL players are never called "footballers" so it's unambiguous and less awkward, in my eyes), but I have no idea whether I should begin applying it across the board, or what. Bill Oaf 14:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Re: Emma Bunton's Downtown

Fair use rationale for Image:3LW.jpg
![]() |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:3LW.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as ((fair use)) or ((fair use in|article name)), you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. Yamla 22:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Fair use rationales added, template removed. robwingfield «T•C» 23:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Gary Roberts
I noticed you removed my move of Gary Roberts from Gary Roberts (ice hockey player) to Gary Roberts (hockey). Having looked at the article again, he definitely plays ice hockey, not hockey, so surely my move was correct...? robwingfield «T•C» 11:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for discussing, but no. To paraphrase Lenin, the purpose of dab'n is to dab'ate. And it should do that as tersely as possible. If "hockey" is sufficient to distinguish a contender for the title "Gary Roberts" from all the others, it is a successful dab'g sufx, and any elaboration on it would pervert the Dab'n mechanism, from its purpose as a navigational device, into some kind of substitute for the text of the article. The titles of books are primarily for marketing (George Washington: Hero of Independence) which can justify including some storytelling in them, but those of 'pedia articles are solely for identification. I'm not even looking at ice hockey and hockey, bcz i'm a native speaker of modern English, and i don't need a dictionary (let alone an encyclopedia, which is a poor substitute as a source of information on the usage of words) to tell me what matters here: saying "ice hockey" (since there are no air-, field-, or knock-hockey equipment, games, players, or teams around to be confused with the matter at hand) would provide no benefit, and would have a (small) direct cost and a large indirect one (contributing to the impression that terseness in dab sfxes is unnecessary or even undesirable).
- (BTW, the dates in the other Gary Roberts titles are even worse, and having invested this much (away from my normal LoPbN-tree concerns) will probably get me to fix them as well, tho the correct approach is not in that case so immediately apparent: it will require reading the bios involved.)
- Disambiguation work is necessary, and not a lot of fun. I appreciate your taking part in it!
--Jerzy•t 18:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, good points well made...! As far as the footballer articles are concerned, I used the year of birth as that seems to be an approach that's used in the same scenario for other footballers with the same name. Both players are English, so nationality can't be used, which is the other common attribute used to disambiguate players of the same sport of the same name... happy to hear any alternative suggestions you have, though! robwingfield «T•C» 19:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- You are far from the first to resort to it, and i admit it's better than nothing. Are you a fan? Bcz a fan is likely to do a better job, other things being equal. Yeah re nat'ty; i'm used to being a bug abt, as far as LoPbN descriptions are concerned, nationality meaning passport, and all those people having British passports, but i think used English vs. Scottish as dab'g sfx's abt a wk ago. (And i once resorted to "(lefty)" and "(righty)" for two American pitchers!) I think the most cogent objection to dates is that (even tho they are good, compared to say team name, in not being subject to change) is that (especially when the careers overlap) they don't tell most users at a glance which one you want -- they may be no more helpful than middle name, hometown, or randomly assiging "(psi)" and "(upsilon)". And (full disclosure) in my personal case from hell, the boxers Davey Moore, i gave up and used dates (fl. dates, rather than birth); you'll see why, i think.
- In this GR case, my first glance left me considering somehow using prominence (as i once did with a major and a minor leaguer, IIRC), but i'm at the very beginning of thinking abt it. Your ideas welcome, fan or no.

- Here's what i see:
- Very hard to find clear handles for them, at least with my poor knowledge of the sport's culture. At this point, unless you have more ideas, my suggestion is to leave it to fans, perhaps by just copying this discussion to the Dab's talk page & lk'g it from the two articles' talk pages.
--Jerzy•t 04:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Melissa_Theuriau_Zone_Interdite.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Melissa_Theuriau_Zone_Interdite.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
((Replaceable fair use disputed))
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 04:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

MetsBot edit to User:Robwingfield
All contributions are strongly appreciated and encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User:Robwingfield is unwelcome as it not only migrated userboxes, but damaged other content on the page. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do, particularly to userpages. Thank you. robwingfield «T•C» 10:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for the bug in my bot's code. I've fixed it now. —METS501 (talk) 15:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
While someone might be generally known by their first name in this country (many pop stars are, for example), as an encyclopædia we don't follow suit (it has a fanzine feel about it). His name is Emre Belözoğlu.
The en-rule, not the hyphen, is used to separate ranges of figures and dates.
You removed the reference to his agent rejecting the charge.
Sorry for the change of the references; I've transferred those over, but the name and the dashes are, I believe, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines and policies. If you disagree, we could get a third opinion. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 20:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, those big gaps at the bottom of Reading players (about two lines of nothingness between squad templates and stubs) annoys me so I remove it. -- Mattythewhite 07:59, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Verity Dearsley article
Biography Notability Discussion: Please could you leave a reason in the Talk:Verity_Dearsley as to why you feel that this article should be modified or deleted. This way it will give me a chance to update it - as of this time I feel the article is now fine. -- Thanks Zarief 20:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Zarief. As the tag states, I don't believe that she's notable. Please check WP:BIO for why I've come to that conclusion. This is just the first stage, to allow you to expand the article to comply with WP:BIO, so I've not nominated for deletion at this stage. robwingfield «T•C» 00:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Fabrice Muamba
Hi Rob, thanks for adding the ((fact)) tags to Fabrice Muamba !! you encouraged me to do something about the errors that had crept in there.
Regarding my use of the vertical format of ((cite news)) - I find the text easier to read in that format, so naturally added "my" 6 that way round. Didn't think to notice whether I was going against consensus. Sorry! Struway 09:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- No problem... I quite often do it for my own benefit as much as anyone else, as they're helpful place-holders for future edits... I can then go back and find sources or remove the statements at a later date. Regarding formatting of citations, I prefer to have them in-line rather than split them out, because it really bloats out a page when you're coming back to edit it later. I wouldn't have edited the page to do just that if I hadn't had other edits to make, though! robwingfield «T•C» 15:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 06:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Dave Kitson
Excuse me, but I really don't think you're informed about Dave Kitson. You should be ashamed to be a Reading Football Fan. If you bothered doing any background research, which you obviously fail to even think about, you will have known that he signed up last year on a 4 Year Course. If you do not believe me, you can access the personal files on www.bath.ac.uk, or call the general information office. Please don't be an incompetent moderator and check your facts the next time you revert my changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.38.232.8 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 23 May 2007
- I'm not being incompetent. There was debate on this at Talk:Dave Kitson. Please debate there before making further edits. If you can cite an independent source which doesn't consititute original research, then this information can be added... but only if such a citation can be provided. The evidence so far suggests this is a different Dave Kitson. robwingfield «T•C» 15:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Template talk
Please do not try to take one comment, made by yourself, on a template talk and present in in an edit note as if it were an established consensus as you did today with Owen Hargreaves. Kevin McE 18:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't do anything of the sort. Edit summaries don't allow for long justifications, so I pointed to the location of my justification. robwingfield «T•C» 22:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK: point accepted and apology made. But I am unsure as to what you mean by a claim of having made the "original version" on the Hargreaves page, and I would ask for your observations on my comment on the Sidwell page, that our default position should be that which is undeniably true, until consensus be reached (I hope it will not be: you clearly feel otherwise) that it is OK to anticipate.

Because it's the technically incorrect version. Hargreaves hasn't signed a contract with united. Kingjeff 17:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Was wondering what you mean by 'template not needed'? I assume you must feel strongly in order to undo my edit. Thanks. --Jameboy 20:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Don't think I had a reply from you before. Can you give some guidance regarding the height templates, as I noticed you are actively removing them. Are these templates deprecated or not? Do you have a link to the relevant guideline or discussion? Thanks. --Jameboy 21:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry, your message got hidden by a subsequent one. Have a look at Template_talk:Infobox_Football_biography#Height_template. There is no consensus for using this template in infoboxes. My view is that it should be used as an aid to conversion of units, but as that conversion will not change, the template should not stay inline and should be subst'd. At the moment, subst'ing ((height)) makes things look clunky so I'm compromising by not removing it unless another edit has to be made, but there needs to be consensus to add the use of the template, not remove it. robwingfield «T•C» 09:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Oops!
I just noticed your comment on another user's talk page. I never knew that the standard for (loan) in the infobox was without the italics. The italics seemed so common that I never bothered to check the footy style manual. I will remove the italics wherever I see them from now on. Incidentally, do you know if there is a set of standards for the manager succession boxes that go at the foot of articles? There seem to be a few inconsistencies in them. For example, some display the F.C. suffix, some don't. Some have 'manager', some have 'Manager'. Some link to the club article, some link to the 'Managers' section of the club article, still others to the 'List of (club) Managers' article. If there are no set standards that you know of I will raise it at WPFOOTY. Cheers. --Jameboy 16:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use disputed for Image:The Bulmershe School logo.jpg
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:The Bulmershe School logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

footballer
Why do you think these articles should be merged. Footballer, although in a poor state, talks about all types of football. If anything it should be merged with Football not Football (soccer). When you add merger tags it would be helpful to explain your reasoning on the talk page of the article concerned. At the moment i don't see any discussion as to why they should be merged and i don't really see a valid reason. Comments appreciated. Thanks. Woodym555 13:18, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Lough Neagh in the British Isles or not.
Hello - I see you've participated in the TalkPage discussion at Lough Neagh. I have created a table of the different contributors and their views/arguments about the geographical description to be applied. I am proposing that, if there is a clear consensus then the article is modified to reflect the consensus amongst editors. I am notifying each of the people I've identified as having been interested of this fresh opportunity to reach a consensus and settle this matter.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Reading FC logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Reading FC logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Template help request
Hello. I notice you've helped out with Template:Fc. I was wondering if you could tell me what I've done wrong with Template:Nct, which I've attempted to from adapt from the football club template to work for national cricket teams.
Currently when I use it creates a quote esque area of formatting (see the Qualifying section of this version of ICC World Twenty20.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Earl CG (talk) 15:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, it seems to work fine for me. Check out User:Robwingfield/sandbox, where I've used the template both (1) transcluded and (2) substituted. What I have done is remove the underscores from your template... but purely for aesthetic reasons! If you let me know which article you're having problems, and what you're trying to do, I'm happy to help there. robwingfield «T•C» 15:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Berkshire Maestros hi res CMYK logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Berkshire Maestros hi res CMYK logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Another editor has added the ((prod))
template to the article Curtis Osano, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the ((prod))
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 20:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Admin coaching request
You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. We're currently engaged in a program reset to help things move more smoothly in the future. If you are still interested in the program, please go to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is right for you at theCoachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you. MBisanz talk 06:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Admin coaching match
Hello, I am pleased to announce that you have been paired with User:Tone as an admin coachee. You now have two important tasks to complete:
- 1. Introduce yourself to Tone and explain to them why you want to be an admin.
- 2. Once he has confirmed the relationship to you, edit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching to move your name to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to record the match.
Given the limited coaching resources of the Admin Coaching project, if you plan to take a Wikibreak of more than 30 days, please notify your coach or myself so that we will know not to tag you as retired and give your spot to another user. Remember that adminship is not a big deal and that it may take multiple RfAs before one becomes a sysop, even for a highly qualified, coached, editor. Also, remember that while admin coaching will help you prepare for the mop, there is no guarantee that completing this program will ensure passage of an RfA.
Congratulations again, and happy editing. MBisanz talk 08:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hello. Nice to meet you. I will be happy to offer you an advice if you need one. I see you've been around for quite some time so you know the wiki procedures well, I suppose. When you have any questions, feel free to ask. I usually check my talkpage daily but if I will be absent for a longer period of time, I'll let you know. Have a nice time. --Tone 20:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi. How's it going? I realized I should come around more often, if we are doing admin coaching... The way I imagine it is that I present you a hypothetical situation you may encounter as an admin and you try to resolve it. And then we look at the way you did it. So, shall we try some? Greetings. --Tone 19:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, sounds like a good idea! Fire away! :-) robwingfield «T•C» 19:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, good. (Maybe it would be a good idea to have this discussion on a separate page, not on the talkpage? As you prefer.) Let's start with an easy one. You have deleted an speedy-delete tagged article, tagged as A7. The author of the article asks you, why you deleted it. For example, this one I have just deleted: Cherisse Osei (born Cherrise Amma Loren Ofosu-Osei, 23rd December 1986 ) first came to fame as the drummer in the English pop band The Faders. After the announcement of the groups split in July 2006, via their Myspace page, Osei initally joined the band Calaisa , before becoming the current drummer for the singer Mika. (that was all the content.) Please, argument why you deleted it and quote the appropriate policies. --Tone 19:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability of footballers
To answer your question on this AfD, the discussion took place on the main WP:FOOTY page here in November after fizzling out it was restarted here in February. It was clear that criteria 1,2,3 & 7 were supported by the vast majority and moved to the WP:FOOTY/Notability page, which had remained blank for over 2 years. Criteria 4 was more contoversial, we agreed to move onto other topics with an understanding that we would reconsider Youth footballers at a later date (definately before the World Youth Cup in 2009). Unfortunately after the two lengthy and considered debates, the new criteria were immediately set upon and undermined by editors from WP:BIO, in my opinion a victory for maintaining the status-quo over reasoned debate and consensus between members of a specific project. The undermining of these criteria have dealt a huge blow to my faith in the Wikipedia project and led to my virtual withdrawal from WP:FOOTY and severaly damaged the chances of the Wikiproject moving on to define clear, unambiguous notability criteria for other parts of the game, (clubs, leagues, stadiums, managers, referees etc). It frustrates me that we spent so long discussing the new criteria in order to end "notability by precident" and resolve the "Anderlecht issue" you raised in this AfD yet all of that discussion and consensus building can be overruled by one sentence from WP:ATHLETE. Oh well, never mind, perhaps I should stick to creating articles & categories rather than consensus building. English peasant 19:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Prods
Please check some of these articles that you are ((prod))ding. At least three of them - Patrick Nyarko (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), Josh Lambo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and Sean Franklin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - have already survived an AFD. (I didn't look at the others.) A prod is considered to be out of order for an article that has been AFD'd. If you do have a desire to re-AFD any of them, please do them separately. The big problem with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roger Espinoza is that it was considering a number of different players with varying degrees of notability. Patrick Nyarko, for example, has been the subject of multiple articles by multiple media outlets, even before being drafted. Some of the others got just a blurb or two when they were drafted. Having a joint AFD really makes it difficult to have a good discussion/evaluation of each article and the reliable sources available. --B (talk) 18:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Additionally, please link to previous AfDs when you start new ones. It's very misleading to give the impression that it's just been a Prod and to not give the AfD history; it's standard to post links to those. matt91486 (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Yately Rd
I understand that you deleted my article on Yately Rd because because it provided little or no context to the reader.

Yately Rd contains the home he designed for himself and also others in the road. These are listed buildings, his own being Grade one listed. Can you reinstate Yately Rd as an article please.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

I have reverted your change to the infobox - as far as I can see, the consensus is to include the player's full name, even where this is the same as the article name. Can you show support for your statement: "no further names known, so no need for fullname"?
The documentation for the template (at [2]) says under (({fullname))} - "The player's complete name". No mention of any exception. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 04:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi - thanks for the responses. Although you imply that you think it is "obvious" that the full name should not be included if it's the same as the article title, you have not produced any support for your point of view. The section is headed "Personal information" - surely someone's full name is an important part of that information.
- In cases where I am in disagreement with another, long-term and respected editor, I usually refer to Featured Articles to see how they have treated the matter in dispute. The list at [3] includes two articles where the player has no middle or other names – Duncan Edwards and John Wark. On both of these, the (({fullname))} parameter has been completed, which seems to support my point of view. Cheers. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 15:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
p.s. I hope Rasiak does well for you at Reading, and helps get you back into the Premiership. Hopefully, Southampton will be back in a few years.
St James' Park
I disagree with your recent move of St James' Park to sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park Stadium. Such a move really shouldn't have been performed without discussion first, especially as WP:COMMONNAME states to use the most easily recognised name. I somehow doubt that this full name will be used in favour of St James' Park... Nouse4aname (talk) 15:03, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Carey baptist church.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

However, the image is currently 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).

Request reason:
Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 94.174.38.122. robwingfield «T•C» 13:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
That IP address is not blocked. That probably means you were using a proxy or a VPN, but have now disabled it. You need to wait a full 24 hours after doing so, in order to edit. Yamla (talk) 13:31, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
