Thomas Cockcroft edit

Hi Baldymart, you possibly haven't got around to it yet, but you'll need to add some references to the Thomas Cockcroft article, or the Wikipedian police will be on to you. One question... I noticed you changed the spelling of Cockroft to Cockcroft on the Keighley Cougars article before you created the Thomas Cockcroft article, as both spelling variations are valid, are you certain that's the correct spelling? Also, I believe the apostrophe after the year, e.g. 1930's & 1940's, isn't required, e.g. 1930s & 1940s, as there's neither an omission or a possesion. Finally, are you a Whitcombe? Best Regards DynamoDegsy (talk) 12:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Do you know the Wikipedian User:R*55hal? He/she was a regular editor of George Whitcombe, Frank Whitcombe, Frank Whitcombe Jr, and Martin Whitcombe, a couple of years ago. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 13:05, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Kenneth "Ken" Davies edit

Hello Baldymart,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kenneth "Ken" Davies for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. BiH (talk) 17:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Martin Whitcombe edit

Hi Baldymart, I've done a quick fix for you at at Martin Whitcombe, but as you may see, there is reference to 'rugby league' at the bottom the infobox. Unfortunately, its not just a case of changing "{{Infobox rugby league biography", to "{{Infobox rugby union biography", as these infoboxes have been developed by users independently of each other, and the formatting is quite different from each other. If you could complete the data using the rugby league infobox, I'll convert it to the rugby union infobox when you're done. Best regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 09:05, 19 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
