David. A. Gill

edit

You know, I didn't delete your article, I just moved it to a different name (FWIW, I don't understand why there's a dot after "David" in the original name). You can still edit the original article at the new address (David A Gill; note that David A. Gill redirects so we have a choice), but please don't type over the redirect. Thanks! :)

Mark Howard and Tommy Lee

edit

Hi

Normally when two people have the same name, we distinguish between them by putting something in brackets afterwards, like this: Danny Wallace (footballer). I noticed you'd created articles for Mark Howard and Tommy Lee, but both players already have articles at Mark Howard (defender) and Tommy Lee (footballer). Could you merge your articles into the ones that were already there so we don't have two articles on each player?

Thanks, CTOAGN (talk) 19:00, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Steve Davis (umpire)

edit

Hi Consulrjo,
The article "Steve Davis (Umpire)" has been deleted as it is a content fork (duplicate) of Steve Davis (umpire). However, in case you'd like to use any of the text from that article, I've pasted it below.


Stephen James Davis, (born 9 April 1952 in London), is an Australian Test cricket match umpire, from London.

He umpired nine Test matches between 1993 and 2000. His first match was between Australia and New Zealand at Brisbane on 3 December to 7 December 1993, won by Australia by an innings and 96 runs, with Allan Border and Steve Waugh scoring centuries, and Shane Warne and Craig McDermott taking 8 and 6 wickets respectively. Parker’s partner was Steve Randell.

Parker’s last Test match was between Australia and the West Indies at Perth on 1 December to 3 December 2000, won by Australia by an innings and 27 runs with Mark Waugh scoring a century, and wickets being shared by Glenn McGrath (who took a hat-trick, Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie and Stuart MacGill. Parker’s partner was the English umpire John Hampshire.

Parker umpired 46 one-day international (ODI) matches between 1993 and 2005. Altogether, he has umpired 98 first-class matches in his career between 1986 and December 2005. He is still (January 2006) an active first-class umpire, and is still on the International Cricket Council's International Panel of Umpires and Referees.

Warning for persistent vandalism of Manchester United F.C.

edit

  Thanks for experimenting with the page Manchester United F.C. on Wikipedia. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in the encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable published source. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

As you can see here, David Beswitherick was fired from his job as Manchester United club secretary nearly two years ago. If you continue to add his name back into the Manchester United article, I will have to report you to an admin for vandalism.

Notability of Lee Crockett

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Lee Crockett, by Slumgum (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Lee Crockett seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Lee Crockett, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Lee Crockett itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 17:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Problem with your custom signature

edit

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
