Career totals

You can stop lying about puting those stats in that way. Shevchenko is the only player you've done it for. Kingjeff 18:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Do you ever leave comments on article talk pages? - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes. When it's suppose to be there. Kingjeff 18:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Err? - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Face the fact that I called your bluff. Kingjeff 18:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Take your pick from any of the following:
Common guys, don't edit-war over something silly. Both of you make a case for yourself on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Players if this is so important to the both of you and we can solicit some opinions from the WikiProject Football big guns and get this figured out. Palffy 18:21, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
That's not what I meant by making a case for yourself on the WikiProject Football hehe..be rational and don't attack each other without even discussing the benefits and drawbacks of the issue.. --Palffy 18:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

So you're editing players from your little house league that you use to play in as a kid. Kingjeff 18:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

You do understand that other people can read the nonsense you write? - Dudesleeper · Talk 18:24, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes. But I'm not being the baby here. Kingjeff 18:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution on the above AfD. Your time and effort is much appriciated. regards--Vintagekits 01:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Improper removal of non-free use dispute tags

Please do not remove the non-free use dispute tags from the articles listed immediately below. The template says:

You should remove this template if you have successfully addressed the concern.

You have not successfully addressed the concern, which is that the screen grabs are being used to identify a living person. This page: Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Examples_of_unacceptable_use lists this as a specific example of unacceptable non-free use. Quote:

An image of a living person that merely shows what s/he looks like. The rationale is that this is potentially replaceable with a freshly produced free photograph.

I do not believe you will be able to successfully address this concern, because use of these images is clearly stated in the examples of unacceptable use. Larry Dunn 16:22, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Replied here.
Feel free to call users who identify your copyright-infringing use of wikipedia as "stalkers," "boring," and so on, if that's what you consider to be a beneficial use of your time, although of course it is a serious violation of the requirement that all users of wikipedia be civil. In the meantime, please refrain from removing validly tagged copyright infringement on wikipedia. Thank you. Larry Dunn 17:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm relieved to know you understand Wikipedia's civility policies better than its image policies. - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:42, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
As someone who has posted images that are plainly nonpermissable, and then posted rude comments when that was flagged, you seem not to understand either of those policies. Larry Dunn 21:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I mentioned to you that you seemed to "develop" an understanding of image policies as you went along, whereas I was uncivil from the outset. At least I'm consistent. - 21:18, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Alignment of Lancashire map

Source.

Thanks for the note. I think everywhere in the county is appearing a bit off. I'll look at correcting the alignments. Warofdreams talk 16:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment - I had some help in fixing them. While the infobox isn't suitable for fells, the map is; you could use the template I currently have in my sandbox. Warofdreams talk 01:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I drew the map up - it was a 24 hour provisional period for testing. It now appears to be pointing accurately! Thanks for you're patience, hopefully it should help improve the content and context of these Lancashire articles! Jhamez84 01:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Replied here.

Oh absolutely! I've tried for over 18 months, though never worked that out!!.... Also, per your note to User:Warofdreams, it may be possible to use the same map for fells via a different infobox. Jhamez84 01:27, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Bobby Finan

Wartime caps are unofficial, the SFA website doesn't have any record of games played during the war, or of Bobby Finan. WATP (talk)(contribs) 16:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Dave Hockaday

Hi - I've recently created an article about Dave Hockaday who has recently joined Southampton as a coach. As he started his playing career at Blackpool, I was wondering if you could add anything to the details of his playing career. Ignore me if this is of no interest! Best wishes. Daemonic Kangaroo 10:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

{{flagicon}}

I noticed that you removed the state flag from a lot of articles (several of which I stilled the icons), and with one particular edit, your edit summary was:

Rm state flag per Template:Infobox actor (methinks this is going to be a long process)

Now, I thoroughly reviewed that template, and it doesn't say anything against using the states in flag icons. Also, the only reason I started doing it is because other users were doing it as well--in a non-disruptive manner, mind you. I'm going to cease doing it anyway to avoid suggesting that I am trying to cause a commotion, but it would help if you would point out an actual guideline to support your claim. Anthony Rupert 12:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

As you'll hopefully see, on Talk:John Cusack I linked to a discussion about this very issue. I'm gradually becoming okay with national flags in infoboxes (for birthplaces or, in sport, for a person's national team), but in my eyes regional/state flags are a step too far. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Alex Munro

I've had a go at adding to his article although, unfortunately, no one has published a complete statistical history of Hearts (similar to Calley's on Blackpool) so for many pre-WWII players there isn't much to add.

Davy Allan's londonhearts page has most of the details that appear in Lamming's Scotland Internationalists Who's Who. It also has the photo from David Speed's pictorial history of Hearts: the accompanying text can only add that his transfer was in March 1937. He doesn't appear in two team pics from 32-33 in that book but appears to have become a first team regular by 1934 as he is in the team pics from then til his departure. Albert Mackie's 1958 [The Hearts] has only a brief mention of him, playing as a left winger in 1933.

There is one bone of contention, about his first club, which Lamming suggests was Bo'ness United. According to the wiki article on it though, the club wasn't formed until 1945, so I have assumed he meant the league club Bo'ness F.C..

I was going to offer to add to any other Blackpool Scots internationalists but a quick glance at George Farm and Hugh Kelly seems to suggest they'll all be excellent articles already. Caledonian Place 18:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
For excellent contributions to articles regarding Blackpool and its football club, I award you this barnstar! ck lostsword T C 16:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, no problem. I have seen the edits from both of you, and though I don't often give out barnstars I felt you both deserved them. Well done! ck lostswordTC 21:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use galleries

Greetings. Per WP:NFCC items #3(a) and #8, we do not permit the use of fair use images in galleries such as those on DVD covers and album covers. A large number of people are conducting removals of these galleries all across the project. You can see some of this work at User:Durin/Fair Use Overuse. A deeper explanation of why this is being done is available at User:Durin/Fair use overuse explanation. I understand you disagree with these actions. Nevertheless, repeated long-winded debates on this issue over the last few months have all resulted in this action going forward. It is important to understand that we are a free content encyclopedia. Please, do not continue to re-insert the fair use gallery into Roseanne (TV series). If you have questions about this I am happy to answer, but continued edit warring is not the appropriate action here. Thank you, --Durin 23:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that reverting an edit once, with an edit summary stating the reason, constitutes edit-warring. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

www.playerhistory.com

Hi - I note that you've added several links to this website e.g. at Eric Nixon. As links to subscription only sites are not permitted on WP, I have deleted this link. Best wishes. Daemonic Kangaroo 12:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The basic (i.e., non-subscription) profiles include enough information to warrant the site's inclusion as a reference. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
All the Eric Nixon link shows is his full name and place of birth, the fact that he is English, was a goalkeeper and played for Sheffield Wednesday in 2003-04. I'm not sure that this is sufficient to act as a reference for the article. Daemonic Kangaroo 12:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
It was referenced for his middle name, since it's not sourced elsewhere. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

How is what I'm doing vandalism?

Scarlett did wear a Star of David to an event. Go to the website. It's on 1:09. Besides, my dad knows who she is. She used to be his client and she told him that she is Jewish and gave us a chocolate cake and cookies for the holidays. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.19.43 (talkcontribs)

Excellent validation there. - Dudesleeper · Talk 03:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

George Anderson

I've had a look around, and couldn't find anything going into great detail about him but I have found this link which may be of some use to you. There is definitely only one George Anderson to have played for Scotland, and he definitely played for Kilmarnock. Possibly suggests to me that the Spartacus link is inaccurate?

Camden

If you don't believe Mike Mackdonald is from Camden, go to the Syracuse Chiefs website. If you do not believe Edna St. Vincent Millay is from Camden, go to her WIKIPEDIA site. Although I am not lying about Charles Cawley and Don Mclean, I understand I do not have a reliable source to prove where they live. And in regards to Camden's history- How can i copy and paste something but site it properly so it is not deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Intercourse218 (talkcontribs)

Pinch hitter

Hey Dudesleeper, I saw you removed the text "pinch hitter" in the Michael Mols article. I guess you did that because you have never heard of that word? The word is commonly used in the Netherlands and as they are English words I thought they were used in English as well. Maybe a supersub or some other terminology that is similar to that is a better word. He's joining Feyenoord knowing he won't play much, but only when necessary (when the other strikers face problems), he knows that, and everybody knows that. So in my opinion it should be in the article. Knurftendans 10:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Blackpool

I'm not that forgetful am I? Actually, the user who added the entry also removed it at the same time I was reverting, so I just ended up reverting a blank space. Thanks for letting me know, anyway! ... discospinster talk 17:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
