Wikipedia's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you entered the first contest, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. Thanks for the time, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:51, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A testament to your commitment to NPOV, but is Ed of the head (Simon) or Eddie/Binman still active on the message boards? Can we track through them or the current site the evidence that would comprise a valid claim to notability, or would your position be that fanzines are not noteworthy per se?

Interview! A newish site, and it could be quite handy for me. Bizarrely they barely ask anything about Gillingham, but there's a good amount of stuff that can be cited there. Thought I'd send it to you rather than add the information myself, as I find that I rarely get round to doing stuff like this! Regards, HornetMike (talk) 18:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I think that 83.100.221.38 may in fact be a shared IP of somesort as I was not editing on the 1st of October when some vandalism occured with this IP as a source. I previously thought the IP was assigned only to the PC that I'm currently using. Is there a way to check in more detail as I really don't want some idiot vandal besmirching any decent contributions I may make. Thanks. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. The following text from the Mike Collett book might contain something of interest:

The match was due to kickoff at 3pm, and by 1.45pm the doors were shut with more than 126,000 people inside. But still they came... swarming over railings, scaling walls and climbing over the little turnstile barriers. At 2 o’clock police stations for miles around were being mobilised, but by the time those police reinforcements arrived, they could hardly do anything to stop the chaos or flow of people into the stadium. Never before have so many people ever turned up to see a match. There were anywhere between 200,000 and 250,000 inside Wembley – and probably as many outside.

And while the stadium was being over-run, tens of thousands more people were still arriving. The roads for miles around were jammed solid and the Bolton team were forced to abandon their coach a mile away and push and shove their way into the stadium.^[1]

Billy was not the only horse in Wembley, but he was the only white one, and that was the crucial factor. Ridden by PC George Scorey he began gradually moving the crowd back around the touchlines.

It was a slow process, but the crowd responded and inch by inch the playing area was cleared. A few years later PC Scorey explained in an interview to the BBC how he had managed it:

“As my horse picked his way onto the field, I saw nothing but a sea of heads. I thought, ‘We can’t do it. It’s impossible.’ But I happened to see an opening near one of the goals and the horse was very good – easing them back with his nose and tail until we got a goal-line cleared. I told them in front to join hands and heave and they went back step by step until we reached the line. Then they sat down and we went on like that... it was mainly due to the horse. Perhaps because he was white he commanded more attention. But more than that, he seemed to understand what was required of him. The other helpful thing was the good nature of the crowd.”

Officials also publicly stated that if it had not been for PC Scorey and the white horse, the final would never have gone ahead that afternoon. But PC Scorey, who lived to be 82, was not a football fan. Thirty years after he saved the cup final he admitted, “I never went to another game in my life”.^[2]

As you can see, Collett refers to the horse as "Billy" rather than "Billie", as does the other book, by Lloyd & Holt.

Can I also comment on the dates in your references: I believe that editors are now encouraged to look at an article through the eyes of a non-registered user (who form the majority of WP users) – as they are unable to express their date preferences, they see dates in articles as they are typed. Try turning off your date preferences temporarily and you may see the problem, especially with the date of the match in the "Details" section which appears as "1923-04-28" rather than "28 April 1923".

Likewise, in the "citeweb" references, the dates appear (using ref #40 as an example) as "(2007-09-28). Retrieved on 2008-10-15". If you replace the "|accessdate=2008-10-15|date=[[2007-09-28]]" with "|accessdate=15 October| accessyear=2008|date=28 September 2007" the dates will then appear as "15 October 2008" and "28 September 2007" regardless of your date preferences.

I hope this is of some help. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 04:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You want to nip that boinging behaviour in the bud, he'll thank you for it when he's older. Congrats on the Featured Article, sorry I was a bit too slow in adding my support. I was just about to add a couple of comments when I noticed the star had been added. My comments anyway:

• Title and lead has "1923 FA Cup Final", but infobox has "1923 FA Cup final"
• Build-up section (2nd paragraph):
  WP:MOSTIME
  says that the colon, rather than the full stop should be used as a time separator. Also "1.00 pm." has a rogue full stop after it.
• Should "the F.A.'s share" be " the FA's share" ? (no dots)

Pornbio is actually one of the hardest standards to meet percentage wise, because it pretty much comes down to award history or overwhelmingly passing general at afd. It eliminates a lot more articles than it keeps, and if it goes away as a separate criteria, they get folded under Entertainer. I'm far from the only person on the project who wants to avoid that because almost every porn performer can get there.
