Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 3 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 04:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

pcupdate

Hi, I just thought I should remind you to update the pcupdate section of the infobox if you update the player's stats. You didn't do this for Mark Kennedy (footballer). Laters!  sʟυмɢυм • т • c  22:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Peter Simpson

Hi - I saw your move of Peter Simpson - I was thinking, as the Arsenal Peter Simpson played as a defender (mainly, at least, that was what he was known for) and the Crystal Palace Peter Simpson played as a forward/striker, perhaps it would be better to differentiate them as Peter Simpson (defender) and Peter Simpson (striker) - similar to e.g. Paul Robinson (goalkeeper) and Paul Robinson (defender). I think that would be neater and more understandable than the current article titles. Let me know what you think, cheers. Qwghlm 03:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I think position rather than era is a better and clearer way. First it makes the titles shorter (which is encouraged in the Manual of Style). Also, when disambiguating by era there are lots of different ways of expressing the title - e.g. Peter Simpson (1920s-30s footballer), Peter Simpson (20s-30s footballer), Peter Simpson (1920s and 1930s footballer) - it makes the article title annoyingly hard to remember when wikilinking.

There are two alternatives; the Arsenal player's middle name is Frederick, so the title for him could be Peter F. Simpson, and if the Palace player had a middle name too (I'm not sure) then they could disambiguated like that (like Gary A. Stevens and Alan M. Smith are distinguished from their namesakes). Alternatively, as Palace's Simpson was Scottish (according to this list of Hammers players and the search form at allfootballers.com he was born in Leith, Edinburgh) they could be classed by nationality as Peter Simpson (Scottish footballer) and Peter Simpson (English footballer). I still strongly prefer to mark them by position - it's the shortest and most obvious way, but I'm happy consider alternatives. Qwghlm 19:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

OK, thanks for being so understanding. I have performed the move and have corrected any necessary wikilinks (escluding those in the User namespace, which I leave alone as a rule). Thanks once again. Qwghlm 23:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Chris Armstrong (footballer born 1971). Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. The JPS^{talk to me} 22:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Victor Moses

An editor has nominated Victor Moses, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Pilgrim and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Carlin DPR

Since the Carlin DPR joint venture fell through, would you agree that this article can probably be deleted, as the very brief existence of such an organisation is not notable? If so, as the main author of the article you could request a speedy delete. If you disagree, let me know and I'll try and get a wider debate going. Cheers. 4u1e 09:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Andrews:

I notice you keep on insisting on your own presentation of the page relating to palace new signing. Im a bit alarmed that you have totaly disregarded some of my edits, please take notice of the WP:OWN. I am also very surprised that you have even removed the 80K fee involved which is clearly highlighed on a very relable source the BBC.

Image copyright problem with Image:Julián Speroni goal kick v Watford 2008.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Julián Speroni goal kick v Watford 2008.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 04:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Crystal Palace FC USA.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Crystal Palace FC USA.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
