Ashley-Paul Robinson

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Ashley-Paul Robinson, 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.

Dougie Freedman's date of birth

Hello. According to the Sky Sports Yearbook, "PFA Footballers' who's who", "Football League Players' Records", footballsquads.co.uk, Soccernet and various other sources, Freedman was born on 21 January 1974. The only source I know of that lists his DOB as 25 May is Soccerbase, and my guess is that it's a typo. --Badmotorfinger (talk) 18:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Updating statistics

Please may I suggest that you do not update player infobox statistics while a match is in progress, as you appear to have done with Ishmael Miller. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia built from verifiable sources, not an up-to-the-minute stats service. I would recommend not updating the stats until after the match has finished and evidence of the player's appearance becomes available. It causes confusion if Wikipedia is updated before the sources upon which it is built (soccerbase or BBC Sport for example). I haven't reverted your edits but I hope you could bear this in mind for the future. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 20:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

It appears that you have not heeded this advice. Please wait until matches are finished before editing their pages. Kevin McE (talk) 21:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Re James McFadden. Please be careful when you update player stats, and don't just add 1 to whatever was there before. By the time Monday's game finished, you had McFadden at 9 appearances and 6 goals, for which there was certainly no reliable source, seeing as he only has 8 appearances and 4 goals. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to Robbie Keane and Michael Essien

Hi, Your edits to Robbie Keane and Michael Essien yesterday have been undone because you got the figures wrong. It is important that Wikipedia articles are based on reliable sources, so please will you be more careful when you update player stats in the future. Thank you.

Scott Flinders

Hi, I hope you don't mind my asking, just Scott Flinders, I was wondering where you had seen the news about him signing for Blackpool as it has only been on the official BFC site for about 10 minutes? I've been trying to source it to get it put up as it has been rumoured through the day he was signing, but hadn't seen anything online? Thanks! ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 16:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

It's on the official Blackpool site. >Talk 16:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Paul Dickov. It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. When updating footballers appearances it is usual to add an edit summary with something like, "updating stats" so that other users know what has been done. Thank you. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 16:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Mauro Zárate

Hi. You edited Mauro Zárate's stats yesterday by just adding 1 to his appearances without bothering to find out if your figure was correct or not. You put 7, he has 8. Please stop adding random numbers to player stats. You aren't helping the encyclopedia by persistently making sloppy edits. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Ryan carolan

A tag has been placed on Ryan carolan 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. triwbe (talk) 06:38, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
