Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu
I went to Barnet v Bradford earlier this season, and his shirt sayd "Guylain". I think it makes sense to list what a player wears on his shirt, in the same way that you don't list Ronaldinho as "Moreira". ArtVandelay13 07:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at
- Ahhh, skip it. Looks like there was a proposal for this about six months ago, but the template wasn't actually made at the time (in part for the same reason I nominated it for deletion - the fact that the majority of managers are ex-players, meaning a big overlap in stub types). I'll tidy up the template so that it leads to a stub category (an upmerged one for now, that is, one for an existing stub type with a wider scope - if there are enough stubs using it it may get its own category later). In future, though, getting things sorted out at 06:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

List of Bradford City players
Hi, yeah sure, go ahead, I want the page to be as complete as possible so jump straight in! If you need a hand then just ask, and if you want to find players than use Neil Brown's site (link is in the 'external links' section). PS It's nice to find a fellow City fan, and one who is interested in adding to pages on it! Cheers for all your work so far! GiantSnowman 14:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Darren Moore
I was wondering what source you used to change Darren Moore's league apps for Bradford from 63 to 62. Soccerbase.com says 63, although it isn't always accurate admittedly. --Jameboy 14:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
I checked allfootballers.com and it seems he joined Bradford on January 6th 1939 but made no appearances before the war started. I've amended the stats in his article accordingly..... ChrisTheDude 07:01, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Bryan Robson
Cheers for your help, any additions are welcomed. Would like to get it to at least Good Article status, if not featured. I'm less than halfway through the autobiography though, so still a long way to go. One thing you may be able to help with is getting more images of Robson to add to the article.

Lol. No worries. To be honest he doesn't meet notability for an entry and I reckon we're going to get rid of him so not sure how long the entry will last anyway.

Only league games me thought. Otherwise I'd have created the stub a while ago.
I would respond to that with this, from here, "Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing." Since FL1 and FL2 are both professional leagues, I would like to believe that the Football League Trophy is indeed a professional competition. What would you say? Bobo. 20:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
On User talk:Bobo192, Peanut4 said:
The full wording for that sentence is Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in an individual professional sport. So I'd say for a team player it has to be a league game. I'm not going to contest the entry but if someone else does it probably would get deleted. I think we've a couple of other players who've only played in cup games including the same one as Taylforth.
I must confess I misread that and it has most likely changed since I last created a bunch of articles about lower-league football players. The concept of an equivalent standing in an individual sport wasn't one about which I had aware until rereading that guideline.
How things change.. Do what you want to, I'm not worried eitherway, I was just filling in some redlinks on templates. Bobo. 20:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Right now I'm just floored by the amount of vexatious objections raised at the FAC -- not that I haven't seen it in other places, but thankfully most times common sense prevailed. In any case, do you have any comments that will strengthen the article, and improve its chances of passing? Chensiyuan 13:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

John McMillan
Hi Peanut
I guess it's possible it could be the same guy, but I have no information to confirm one way or the other - literally the only info I've been able to turn up on "our" McMillan is already in the article. I have no source for his birthplace, date, etc. The statement that he never played is based on the fact that I could find no John McMillans on allfootballers.com, but I notice they have "your" guy down as Johnny.....
Probably best to keep them separate and then if any more material on the Gills' McMillan comes to light and it does turn out to be the same guy we could always merge them..... ChrisTheDude 07:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Turns out it is the same guy - see here. I've moved the article to John McMillan (footballer), feel free to add in the details of his playing career...... ChrisTheDude 08:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Ken Leek, and List of BCAFC managers
Sadly, Mr Leek is a long way down my list of wonders and things to do, I'm still struggling with the main club article and writing stubs for players/managers lists, so your Bradford input would probably get there before anything of mine.
Re your manager list, just a quickie on Soccerbase as a source. Their stuff is (mostly, though certainly not entirely) accurate for what they include, but they don't include everything.
For instance, Robert Campbell's Soccerbase figures only include league games, and not the 1905 FA Cup. The reason being, they appear to have a cutoff point for inclusion of FA Cup games set at "Round 1", regardless of how many qualifying rounds clubs had to play before reaching "Round 1". (In the olden days, they changed the format on a regular basis.) Same applies to 1906, where you played at least one qual round before "Round 1".
It's not just long ago, either. See Soccerbase for Bradford City 1982-83 (which i was looking at re small cups), they don't have dates for any round of the league or FA cups, so the proviso written under every manager's history NB: Only games with a date in the database counted here applies and these results aren't counted. Also, they've updated quite a lot recently, so you may find their totals changing as more matches are added.
Small cups. If you're intending to count stuff like Full Members cup, FL Group cup etc be aware that Soccerbase doesn't.
Dates. If they don't know the date a manager was appointed, they'll put 1st of the month, similarly left on last of the month. You and Soccerbase have (for instance) Bryan Edwards leaving on 17/1/75 and Kennedy taking over on 1/1/75. One might wonder whether they double-count the matches in the overlap period. Doesn't bear thinking about.
(As to not entirely accurate, if you look at Birmingham City managerial history, you'll notice we didn't have one at all for 14 months between April 1964 and July 1965) cheers, Struway2 10:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- The main thing is, don't worry about it. No-one expects perfection, you can only do your best with the source data available.
- What I did on work-in-progress List of Birmingham City F.C. managers was cross-check the soccerbase figures against my BCFC Complete Record book. Didn't take all that long, surprisingly. Assuming you have access to the corresponding BCAFC book, the procedure would go as follows:
- for each manager, take soccerbase's approx dates of tenure and add up how many league games played out of detail pages in book (for whole seasons obviously you just add on 42 or whatever, only real tedious bit is counting odd bits of season) and FA/League cup games Then if the total differs from soccerbase, which from about WWI to 1960s mine generally didn't, check against soccerbase's season pages to see what they're missing (usually early cup rounds) and add in the W/D/L just for those games.
- Or do it the other way round - look through each soccerbase BCAFC season to see what cup games they're missing compared to the book, then add the W/D/L in to the appropriate manager. (depends whether you find it easier to read book or screen)
- Only do a very few at a time or your eyesight goes funny.
- Then add in minor cups if desired, though you may well choose not to. Soccerbase includes FL Trophy in recent years, but the best general reference for it is Jeremy Hicks's site, which includes match dates, where FCHD doesn't.
- As to dates of appointment, I'd just put the months in your list unless you have a reason to believe the precise date. Odd games are bound to end up misallocated between managers because of the inadequacies of the source data. It doesn't really matter what competitions you include, so long as you say what you're counting and are consistent with that.
- I shall now go and tell soccerbase that Joe Mallett was appointed Birmingham manager in 1964, not 65. :-) cheers, Struway2 09:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Peanut, I've added a bunch of comments at the PR as per your request at WP:FOOTBALL. Hope they're of use to you. Let me know if I can be of any help. Cheers. The Rambling Man 11:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Seasons list FLC
Hi, Noticed the comment/query about referencing. Are you aware that the FCHD has you reaching the Intermediate round of the FA Cup in 1905, but your list has Round 1? Don't know if you're aware of this site, but it has a nice at-a-glance league and big cups summary, laid out ideally for proofreading. Also, it wouldn't hurt to reference soccerbase's Bradford City page rather than the site front page. Will comment properly at the FLC when I find some time, cheers, Struway2 13:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Bradford seasons
Yep, for the League Cup in 1964-65 the 5th round was the Quarter final Round in which Bradford lost 7-1 at the hands of the mighty Villa ;) Whilst soccerbase does have some issues with other stats, its competitions listings are usually sound. The link for that season is here. That answere your question?

Hi, I've taken the liberty of giving your lead section a light copyedit, for MoS (which doesn't like one-sentence paragraphs) and so it reads a little more smoothly, I've changed as little as possible but if there's anything you don't like then please revert me. Also fixed your links to Premier League season articles. Just off to review at FLC (will support, there's only a couple of things to mention). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Managers list
Hi, Didn't realise how long it's been since you put your manager list up for peer review, just went for a look and found it archived. Sorry about that, got distracted by my lot's managerial changes. Below is what I would have said, please ignore or make use of as you wish.
- I know it's hard to get the balance right between short sentences and flowing prose, but some of your sentences are a bit long and confusing. E.g John Docherty had taken over two months before relegation was confirmed, and during the close season he signed Sean McCarthy to solve the club's goal-scoring problem as well as a number of his former players from Millwall but he could not help City bounce back, before being replaced by Frank Stapleton.
- move which shocked the Bradford public, pot of cash, bit tabloidy?
- For some of the opinion stuff sourced to your book (McFarland leaving in controversial circumstances, move which shocked the Bradford public) if there's a particular quote from the book to illustrate your point, you could always put it in the footnote. (Obviously if the book takes half a page to explain whatever it is, you couldn't.)
- Honours column. Cup winners rather than champions.
- Don't suppose you'd consider using normal size print rather than small?
- Do you really need the almost-invisible dashes in otherwise empty boxes?
- Soccerbase. If you correct and add omissions from another source, say where. If you don't, say what's missing from (or what's included in) the manager stats.
- References. Give full details of each book source the first time you refer to it, and then you can just say e.g. Markham, Legends, p. xxx on subsequent occasions.
- Web sources should include date accessed, and news sources ought really to include publication date.
hope some of this is still helpful, cheers, Struway2 09:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- Soccerbase (my favourite). What I mean is, if you add in any stats from a source other than Soccerbase, so that the figures in the list differ from those in the Soccerbase reference, then put a note to say where the differences came from. What I did with List of Birmingham City F.C. managers was put a general note at the top saying "Manager statistics come from Soccerbase, cross-checked against Matthews, Complete Record (up to 1995), RSSSF (for Anglo-Italian Cup 1996), and FCHD (1996 onwards). Omissions and other discrepancies are corrected from these sources."
- If on the other hand you're sticking with Soccerbase's stats throughout, then probably you should change the only professional, competitive matches are counted bit to mention any such games that aren't counted because of Soccerbase's omissions.
- As to sourcing info that isn't discussed in detail in the article, the reader can look at a web source themselves to see what you're on about. If it's sourced to a book, the reader generally can't, so if there's a small quotation that can go in a footnote it can help to illustrate the point. As an example, History of Birmingham City F.C.#1939 – 1965 speaks of a "solid defensive performance" in the 1963 League cup, which is sourced to a book in footnote 33, where I included a quote from the book to justify the "solid defensive". It isn't necessary to do that sort of thing, but sometimes it can be helpful.
- Hope that's a bit clearer (if it isn't, then ignore me entirely, my brain doesn't seem to be working very well at the moment). cheers, Struway2 19:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Milner
- Do you need the paragraph at the start of the career section? It seems only to act as a summary for the rest, which is already in the lead.
- Someone else added that saying "can't have sections start with sub-section titles"
- the chairman of the team at the time - add his name.
- Ref doesn't say
- It looked probable he would soon start a game. I'd lose this sentence, it adds nothing, is WP:OR and WP:POV.
- it think this is mention in one of the refs. Don't know which one though.
- Maybe start an international section and move most of that stuff to it, while making lesser references in the club section, so as not to muddy the water as much. Though this is probably personal preference.

Hello again, as you commented on this during the deletion discussion, I wonder if you could comment on my proposed criteria on this page? We now have the ridiculous spectacle of Port Vale and Notts County being described as giants when, no disrespect to their fans, they clearly aren't. As I've already removed the Havant result twice I think it would be breaking the spirit of 3RR to remove again. However, I firmly believe we need tight criteria on such a list to stop it growing exponentially. I strongly believe that a good league one side beating a weak/soon to be relegated side from the premier really can't be described as giant killing. Valenciano (talk) 18:28, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

An historic county versus A historic county
Hi. I've just seen your edit to the Yorkshire article. Personally, I feel that "an historic county" makes more sense grammatically than "a historic county". It might also be worth considering that the Yorkshire dialect tends to drop the "h", making "historic" sound like "istoric", and therefore "an" more appropriate than "a". However, I think it is more of a pedantic point than anything else. ~~ [Jam][talk] 14:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Nothing seems to be happening on the PR so is it worth re-nominating?
There isn't really a better free use image. I've already gone thought reasons for keeping the cureent season. What's up with the Refs?
Ok thanks I'll work on thought when I can find the time. But said before I've already gone though the reasons keeping the curent season.
The ref and footnotes are fixed in the order there links appear so I can't seperate them. Feel free to change the image caption and fix any spelling or grammer errors yourself. But I couldn't find any.
Which bit? I see no new edit.
As said not half an hout ago the ref and footnotes are fixed in the order there links appear. I can't move them. In fact I did look at Aston Villa seasons. Interesting, there appear to be refs in the footnote section.
Is there something about the layout of the ref section you want me to change. Because it there please just say so.
Ok let me know if I need to fix anything else.
Ok the PR is over now. Am I ok to re-nominate?

- 27.02.99 K.F.C. Dessel Sport - R.A.F.C. 2-1

Haworth
Hi, you removed my addition of Haworth Cat Rescue as a "blatant advert". The addition of Haworth Cat Rescue was not intended to be an advert, but I do think that the organisation is notable enough to have an entry on the Haworth article - They have been established in excess of 10 years and have won a national award. I did consider writing an article on them but it would have been difficult to write it as I would have mainly had to rely on the various webpages from Haworth Cat Rescue, which I agree would have looked like blatant advertising. I propose discussing this on the talk page of the Haworth article. Mjroots (talk) 21:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, with regards to the decade notations, I prefer them in the written form. To me this flows much better and looks better.

Hi Peanut, I think it's time that the Bradford club page was improved drastically - its lack of references is shameful, but what is your opinion? I don't want to start any article improvement (which should include a seperate History of Bradford City A.F.C. page) until I gauge it with you. By the way, I like your new Bantams-inspired userpage, looks very smart! GiantSnowman (talk) 16:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

- Wow, that looks great! I've added a quick point about the club colours being descended from Manningham Rugby Club, and maybe you could add a bit about the Manningham club, i.e. formed in 1880 and were the founder members of the break away Northern Rugby Union (later the Rugby League) - have a look at Historical Kits for that info.

Blimey, that brings back memories. Quite possibly the worst striker ever to play for us. His occasional sub appearances had a certain cult status due to the fact he was balding despite still being a teenager. Oldelpaso (talk) 20:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Surely its because the willing-but-not-so-able players play in the exact same manner us fans would if we were on the pitch. For me, it epitomised by the time we had both Shaun Goater and George Weah on the bench, and it was Goater's name we were singing. Scoring winning goals away to Macclesfield and Colchester gets far more respect than winning World Player of the Year. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Capitalisation of FA Cup rounds
According to this link, each round of the FA Cup is referred to as a proper noun, hence "First Round Qualifying", "Extra Preliminary Round" and "Fifth Round Proper". Furthermore, BBC Sport reports here that the word "Round" in "Player of the Round" should be capitalised. –
- It seems the BBC are remarkably inconsistent with things like this. On their main FA Cup news page (here), they use "1st Round", "2nd Round", etc. (i.e. numeric ordinals and "Round" capitalised), while on their FA Cup fixtures page (here), they refer to the "Sixth Round". Still, no matter. I wouldn't view it as a case of winning or losing though. Wiki isn't a competition :P – Jay23:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- Haha. I know what you mean about overuse of capitals, but I think, in this case, it's justified. Either way, no use fussing about it now. – Jay23:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for my mistake! Though at the time, I did look at the MFC website and I'm sure I recall it being listed as Jonathon in the squad list - hence why I chose to move it.

Peer Review request - 2006 FIFA World Cup
Hello! I have added the 2006 FIFA World Cup article to peer review. Any suggestions you might have on how the article can be improved are welcome :) Thanks for your time, ARTYOM 20:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
having done improvements to the above article. Could you tell me of any further improvements that need to be made as I believe it is now up to GA status. If it is not I apologise for wasting your time. It is the first article that have done major edits to and therefore my idea or a GA may be different from yours. Thanks for the GA review earlier by the way. 02blythed (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Comprehensive long lists discussion
Hello, I noticed that you took part in the recent FLRC for List of Arsenal F.C. players and thought you might be interested in participating in a new discussion. The FLRC was closed as no consensus and it is clear the the issue of incompleteness in longer FLs is not over, so a discussion page has been started here.

Hi Peanut4. I notice you are down as a peer review volunteer under the everydaylife section, covering sports. I was wondering whether you could possibly

strikethem so I know what I still need to deal with. Also, as you have reviewed this article for me, are there any articles by any chance you need reviewing. If so, I will happily review it for you in exchange. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 17:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it's because it's seen as trivia and cruft, and also because it's already in the main season article. Anyway, I'm probably going to make a new paragraph outlining the points situation in the post-race section. D.M.N. (talk) 20:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kyle Nix
You're welcome for the GA review. I hope I didn't rush it or anything. Thank you for addressing some of the concerns I've left at the talk page. If more can be done, I will go on and pass the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- Then we're cool then. ;) I know, like the past articles I've reviewed Stuart Elliott (footballer born 1977) and Liam Miller, are short and easy to review. That's why I give the reviews because their easy to read and understand. And, its a pleasure when I review the football "soccer" articles. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE)22:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
