Sorry to bother you again, but would you mind making some comments at the Peer Review for Andy Reid. It would be much appreciated. Sunderland06 (talk) 17:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Adam Legzdins, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}

Congratulations! List of York City F.C. managers was selected as a List of the Day for April. Let me know if you have a strong preference for a date.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 07:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Do you know if your mate who takes the picture of the players, and goes to the Arsenal matches will be going to the Sunderland away game (last game of the season for sunderland), if he is, can you please ask him if he will take a photgraph of Andy Reid (providing he plays), i could myself but don't have a good camera and it would be totally rubbish. Thanks. Sunderland06 (talk) 18:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I've renominated the FT with the Intertoto Cup now included. It made FL so I think the topic really is now complete. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:30, 14 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. -- Scorpion0422 21:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Matty. I noticed that you created the above article, and am impressed with the job done so far. However, I also noticed that you assessed the article yourself on the talk page. The convention is for creators or substantial expanders to submit their articles to WP Biography Assessment, and await an independent view. It is apparently frowned on for 'self-assessment' to be done. As it happens, I must say that the article as it stands looks to be still a Stub, rather than a Start - there is so much basic information which still needs to be added. Please get back to me. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 18:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
A page you created, Category:League of Wales clubs, has been tagged for deletion in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you Antonio Lopez (talk) 19:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:League of Wales football club squad templates, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:League of Wales football club squad templates has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:League of Wales football club squad templates, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I'd like to see the reference that he played for Argentina U-21, it would surprise me if it's accurate, I thought U-20 was the highest level of youth football in South America (except Olympic U-23). EP 22:33, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I have nominated Chris Tardif, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Tardif. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hi there Matty, good work on adding the images to the footballer infoboxes. From a purely aesthetic point of view though, I was wondering if you could trim a couple of them? I personally don't think the long, skinny size of photo fits well into an infobox. For Rob Hulse for example, I think it would look better (and more professional) to crop the photo above the rogue hand in shot (it's not vital to see the player's legs). Similarly for Mark Crossley, the small child doesn't necessarily need to be there. These are just my opinions, so I'll leave it to you to make any changes you see fit, and I don't feel particularly strongly about it.
On another topic, I added a 1936 OS map to Fulfordgate, to go with the 1931 image I added previously. I was thinking about getting a photo of Fulfordgate / Eastward Avenue as it stands today, but as it is purely residential I'm not sure where it would sit from a privacy point of view. I'll ask at wiki commons when I get around to it. --Jameboy (talk) 16:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I would be better if the speedy deletion was on {{Austria Squad 2008 Euro Cup}} as it is named incorrectly (or at least more incorrectly) a discussion about the correct naming is taking place right now here ← chandler 23:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for creating the article. It's been something I've been meaning to do for the past two months but never got around to. And also, thanks for helping with the Mexico national football team page; it can get rather messy there from time to time. Too many anonymous editors mucking things up..cosme. (talk) 17:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
You're right, it does say that. I suppose general practice upon Wikipedia is to go ahead and list the transfer when all the parties involved report the agreement. If you feel as though it would be misleading until the player has been completely cleared, go ahead and edit the addition. I won't argue with it. Thanks. .cosme. (talk) 15:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
You reverted my edits when I was trying to use synonyms to adress him to make the language more varied. I'm new to Wikipedia but other football wikipedia they do this alot. Actually on the Fabregas wiki it was one of the things the GA reviewer wanted changed. So I'm just wondering what's right and what's wrong. Please enlighten me. Thehundi (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello Mattythewhite, i was just wondering if you could give me some advice? i am a new user and am looking also to help edit football articles AdamTheSpur (talk) 16:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
You seem to be adding end dates to the careers of certain England players, notably Emile Heskey and Keiron Dyer, who have not retired. Even though they haven't been capped since 2007, that doesn't mean they won't be capped again, so the ending date is misleading because it implies retirement - so therefore I think it's better if such dates aren't there. Do you have a counter-argument? Paulmdavies (talk)
According to your user page you are "84 on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits" not only should it be 84th but you are actually 103nd on the list. I suggest you change it as people who read your user page a lead into a lie. I prusume this is a mistake so you should change it.ROOSTER (talk) 16:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Yawn. Paperwork doesn't magically go through. The player hasn't transferred, but hey, as evidenced above at least you've boosted your important edit count. Minkythecat (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 17:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Was neither an attak nor an attack. The phrase seemed to overly up Yorks win in that game. Either the weakened nature of the Man Utd team should be reflected or the comment upon Man Utd's season should be removed as it's irrrelevant. Minkythecat (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello, sorry about this, but i was jus wonerding if u can give me some information on how to add pictures of people to articles. Looked but just don't understand. Cheers. Adam Hawkins (talk) 00:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Was Scarborough's top scorer in 1949, George Murphy (footballer)? You've got it down as Spud Murphy, which was the aforementioned players' nickname, and it looks like he played for Scarborough at the right time. I don't want to put two and two together and get five, but put the link in, but I guess I'm probably right. Peanut4 (talk) 19:36, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for the late reply. they joined the Midland League in 1927 because it was stronger. They requested entry into the league rather than getting "promoted", in lower league football this was a common practice before the system properly sorted itself out.
As for the FA Cup, the ones missing that they actually competed in are as follows;
FA Amateur Cup, instead of FA Cup
FA Cup
Hope that helps. - ForeverWhiteRose (talk) 22:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Matty
In the past you've very kindly provided me with page references to the pre-WW2 player stats book you own so that I can cite it. When you have a spare moment, could you let me know the page reference for Joe Dickenson of Bolton, and could you confirm that he played 42 times and scored 11 goals between 1892 and 1894?
Cheers!!!!! ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi! If you are an account holder with PlayerHistory, could you verify and add the date of birth of Lenin Steenkamp? Right now the article says both "unknown" and "1978 births". Punkmorten (talk) 08:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've removed the 3 players you added to the squad section. One was already there, and the other two are not on the teamlist at the club's website, as referenced in the article. Just wanted to inform you of my reasoning. Dancarney (talk) 21:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't bother with a second AfD - I've speedy deleted it per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tristram Whitman. If you've started the new one, I can delete it before you list it. пﮟოьεԻ 57 19:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I am sure User:Mattmanorient has good intentions when it comes to his clubs page and player pages on Wikipedia, I think he just needs pointers and what the rules are on articles. Don't take him to the woodshack just yet! I think it would be better to introduce him the the WP:FOOTY Govvy (talk) 20:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed your changes to David Brown (footballer born 1989) today and have a query regarding his height. Do you have any source for him being 5ft 11in. When he played for us last year, he looked not much more than 5ft, and I would seriously doubt he's anywhere near as tall as 5ft 11. Peanut4 (talk) 21:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I recently reverted an edit by a vandal on the Portsmouth F.C. article. Prior to this event, you also reverted the edits of Mr Hall of England who bolded some of the players in the article. He has done it again before my reversion of a different editor, see here. I have not worked on this article at all, so don't know what you lot at WP:FOOTY have discussed, so I thought I'd let you know, just incase it is something you have all decided against, and which may unintentionally remain in the article now other activity has occured since. Best wishes, Lradrama 18:43, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Matt. Do you have a subscription to Playerhistory.com? If so, could you confirm if Ádám Bogdán played for SC Vasas? Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ 57 10:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Do you find it odd that Cardiff have given a squad number to, and are using in friendlies, a bloke there's no evidence whatsoever of them having signed? I do :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
the 1 i removed is out of date due to the addition of Jack Hobbs and releasing of Hellings, i haven't removed it again yet as i do not wish to get into a edit war, but can i suggest that maybe you find a different link to use for the source of the squad. Skitzo (talk) 15:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on James Jennings requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Matt. Can you tell me who Nenad Stankovic has played for in Serbia - his article is going through an AfD, but if he's played in the top flight, I'll withdraw it. Cheers, пﮟოьεԻ 57 20:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
What do you think about it? --Andrea 93 (msg) 16:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Where are you getting full names for players from? (and in the light of recent discussions re Playerhistory, what reason do you have for believing it reliable :-) And re changing date formats on Artur Krysiak, you may not be aware that MOS:DATE basically says that if an article's stable with a particular format, it shouldn't be changed just for style considerations. As it goes, I also prefer the day-first format, but the article was started with month-first, and the main contributor, who I believe to be Polish, also uses month-first, so I don't think we've got any right to change it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm not sure if you intended [ this edit or not, but if so, can you provide a citation for his name please? Sure, it's possible that this is his name, but I'd like to see evidence first! L.J.Skinnerwot|I did 00:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
