I know that is three articles at once, but if you can establish notability for these guys through an external source they can stay. We appreciate your contributions. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 15:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

American football or what everyone else calls football but Americans call soccer? Weston in the US State of Massachusetts or another Weston? Can you give us a bit more about the guy? Cathy 172.147.206.89 16:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have entered the common reference mark "^†" into the text as necessary, and at the start of the relevant reference. So readers should connect the two in their minds, and your source is complete for the purposes of Wikipedia.

P.S. When choosing subjects for biography from the refereeing fraternity, please make sure they meet the essential

Keep up your obvious good work, I am enjoying working on the articles further. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 12:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Alan. Mr Hutchinson may well survive by a slim margin due to the two momentous facts you mention (career extension and title decider). And the same will be true of many more. Unfortunately, it follows that the opposite will be true of others, and they will suffer deletions (which would be anathema to me). If, however, you do not mind spending rafts of time on a well-worked article, just to find it consigned to the

Wikilaw

against it.

I prefer to hold back a little, and in some cases I have had to accept that I cannot prove notability, or perhaps cannot provide references if notability is obviously present. One such is

WP:NOTABLE

with flying colours.

May I just say that it is refreshing to discover a fellow ex-ref on my own wavelength where referee interest is concerned.

By the way, getting references to drop automatically into the References section is easy when you have gained knowhow and practised. Please read

Footnotes Guidelines (MoS), or alternatively look at the edit source of any of our referee articles to see how it has been done in that particular case. Best wishes once again. Ref ^(chew)(do) 22:24, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply

Hi, Alan. I struggled to understand exactly why you expanded the sentence which refers to his being the last Welsh referee on the English list. The main problems were the creation of repeated references to "Football League", "referee(s)" and "Welsh". Add to that the fact that the edit did nothing to further clarify what is being said (which I believe was perfectly understandable in its shorter form anyway). I hope you don't mind, but I've reverted the sentence, and this is no reflection on you honestly. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 19:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I can see your point. I have therefore been back to clarify the statement, and UEFA's involvement in it. I also found reference to his full-time job, so have added his 'other occupation'. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 17:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
