July 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Marple, Greater Manchester, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Dr Greg  talk  01:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Naming conventions for settlements edit

We have a Wikipedia-wide guideline for the naming of settlements that have been in multiple counties, namely that we use the current administrative or (this applies in in Stockport's case) ceremonial county. The guideline is at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK counties) – or WP:UCC for short. If you would like to discuss it further, I suggest that in the first instance you post a message at the talk page for the Greater Manchester project, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Greater Manchester.

Stockport County Supporters' Trust. edit

The Supporters' Trust no longer actually exists; it has been dissolved and reformed as the Stockport County Supporters' Co - operative, though it no longer has any involvement in Stockport County whatsoever. The club enetered administration in 2009 at which point the trust's interest in the club came to an end. Stockport County is now privately owned by the 2015 Group.

How can i go about changing the name of the article?

Use the move tab. Mr Stephen (talk) 14:34, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply


Where's that?

OK. First have a read of WP:MOVE, but it's one of the tabs at the top of the article; there's 'article', 'discussion', 'edit this page', 'history', then 'move'. Take care with the name. You should sign your talk page posts—even here—with four tildes (i.e. ~~~~). Mr Stephen (talk) 09:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I think you'll find that I added Dietmar Hamann as Stockport County manager. Let me assure you, if you phone up or email Stockport County, they will most definitely confirm that Dietmar Hamann is SCFC manager.
