Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Torquay Athletic RFC, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 13:12, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Just seen that my correction to Ian Twitchin was reversed.

Ian played for Newton Spurs as a boy in the 60s but not in the 80s.

He played for and managed the now defunct Newton Abbot (previously known as Newton Dynamos).

These are two different clubs. Spurs still play at the Rec in the town centre. Newton Abbot played at Coach Road.

Surprised that you see correcting an obvious error as “not constructive”. 2A00:23C6:9B30:ED01:2487:3072:B942:F82E (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

I did say that if you read the existing link to Ian’s obituary you will read that he played for and managed Newton Abbot FC and NOT Newton Abbot Spurs. Do you have a link proving he did play for Newton Abbot Spurs? Of course you haven’t, because he didn’t. Percy Mackrill (talk) 12:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

ENFA says he played for 'Spurs'. GiantSnowman 14:05, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for drawing my attention to the ENFA error. I am the TUFC expert for ENFA so have notified them of the error. I will change the wiki page again after ENFA updates leaving the cross-reference to ENFA. 2A00:23C6:9B30:ED01:8DA6:5C6C:89E4:89F3 (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
