Wikipedia is a neutral point-of-view encyclopedia. Your edit to Phil Brown wasn't exactly NPOV. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mitchell Hanson

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Mitchell Hanson, 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.

Hi, the recent edit you made to Derby County F.C. has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. The Helpful One ^(Review) 15:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Reverted. --The Helpful One ^(Review) 15:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Darren Moore. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Moore winning the club's player of the year award is perfectly relevant to the article, yet you removed it with no explanation. Please try to explain such edits using the edit summary or the article's talk page. Thankyou. Jameboy (talk) 10:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. ~~It still seems a notable award though, so I think a slight wording change to clarify what the award is and who voted for it would be better than removing it from the article.~~ I see you've updated it now, didn't notice before, sorry. --Jameboy (talk) 15:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Pearson

Hi, you don't happen to have a source for him failing the medical? cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, much safer wording from a WP:BLP point of view :-) Whether the deal's resurrected depends how long it takes him to get fit, and whether we've got anybody else in the meantime, I suppose. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DCFC recent times

Hi AnOrdinaryBoy. Just saw you remove that template. I understand it seems odd but I'm guessing it was added in because the entire history section (including the recent times) is around 12 paragraphs. The recent times is around 5 paragraphs and that deals with only 2007 onwards. So the recentism claim really stems from the fact that there's too heavy a bias towards what's happened in the last season and a bit. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jam (TV series)

Why did you remove all of the details about the episodes? That was very good information and I don't see that it was moved to any other article? --Rewand (talk) 20:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Derby County F.C. season 2009–10

Why do you think Average Home Attendance shouldn't be included? Surely no harm in keeping it? Animaly2k2 (talk) 17:51, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Traditionally a club's average home attendance is calculated at the end of the season, it just seems a rather pointless and arbitrary update to make every other week when it is an essentially meaningless statistic until the last home game. AnOrdinaryBoy (talk) 16:15, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's and its

Hi OrdinaryBoy,

Based on your contributions, it appears you are confusing the words "it's" and "its". Because your contributions to History of Derby County F.C. (1967–present) are prolific, this is causing me to have to clean up the article after you have edited it. I appreciate your work on this article, but please keep in mind that Wikipedia articles should be properly spelled. "It's" means "it is" or "it has". "It's" never means "belonging to it". Please keep this grammar rule in mind as you edit the article.

Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 22:54, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Firsfon,

Thanks for the advice. I do know the difference but I tend to get it wrong when I type quickly. I'll double check in future.

Thanks OrdinaryBoy. Take care, Firsfron of Ronchester 23:31, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Graham Kelly (footballer)

The article Graham Kelly (footballer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Plays in the second tier of League of Ireland football - not a fully professional league, fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
