Nicky Bailey

Can you provide a source that states Nicky Bailey has joined Charlton? Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 13:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

If you had given me a chance, i would have. If you look at 11.06 here Sky Sports Transfer Centre you will see that it is a done deal. --Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:34, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
If you read the article it says "is set". That's not confirmation. --Jimbo[online] 13:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
And when a Chairman says "Of course we will miss Nicky but we will find a replacement for him and we will find someone committed who wants to play for Southend United" to me it would seem as if the deal is most probably done. Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
As well as this on the Southend website it says "Steve Tilson admitted that it will be a "body blow" to lose Nicky Bailey after it was confirmed this evening that the midfielder will join Charlton Athletic". This can be found here [Steve Tilson admitted that it will be a "body blow" to lose Nicky Bailey after it was confirmed this evening that the midfielder will join Charlton Athletic.] Dirk Valentine (talk) 13:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Chris Powell

Hi. Thank you for your contribution of Image:ChrisPowell.jpg; I see in your talk history that you have received unofficial permission to use it. In order to verify permission to use the image, you will need to either have the copyright holder post a release at the source or have the copyright holder provide a release statement for the Wikimedia Foundation. The necessary procedure is documented at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. In brief, if the copyright holder posts a statement at the site indicating that the image is released under GFDL or a compatible license, you should make note of that at the image talk page. You would need to make note at the talk page where on the site the release is posted, with a link to that release. Alternatively, you may get a release statement from the copyright holder at an e-mail address associated with the site to forward to the Communications Committee. There is a form letter for consent here. For images, there are several different tags that might apply, but the basic requirement is that the copyright holder must be willing to allow modification of the image and duplication, including for commercial purposes. If permission is not verified, the image is going to have to be deleted, as images of living persons do not meet the non-free content criteria. Please let me know if you have any questions about this procedure. If you have questions about image use and copyright concerns, these may be addressed at the media copyright questions board. Thank you. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Adding team colours to infoboxes

Hi,

Was this discussed anywhere? I'm not sure that it's wise, considering that the project is generally trending away from overuse of symbols and such in that way. If not, fancy starting a thread on it in the footy project? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pompey colours.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

Yer i believe a school colleague of mine who has found out my password, a password I use for a number of things, Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, Gmail etc, was the one behind this, a number of rude e-mails were sent to my Address Book, as well as sending offensive messages and comments on Facebook and sending offensive comments on Windows Live Messenger.

Archive, and don't blank

Please note: it is recommended that you WP:Archive your talk page and not blank it. Especially considering you recently had your account compromised, you may need that proof should problems happen again.

Feel free to ask for assistance with setting up archiving if you wish. I have advised the other editor about the "non-vandalism" regarding your talk page. -t BMW c- 16:40, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I thank you for your concern, and have my talk page back to how it was previously. Thank You. Dirk Valentine (talk) 16:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
