Celtic F.C. task force

Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Celtic F.C. task force sign up here. No matter who you support I would be very happy to have your help. Adam4267 (talk) 09:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Warburton here is a list of Celtic matches [[1]] by year. Here is another page which also shows fixtures but does some team lists as well [[2]]. Thank you very much for any help. Adam4267 (talk) 20:12, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll be on for a short while tomorrow morning but then I am away for a week. I wanted to get the Celtic page up to G.A. status as our first task, before we started looking at anything else. Which is why pretty much nothing has been tagged. If you wanted to start on the season articles that would be great, if you want to do tagging that is great as well. There are a couple of sources here which should be quite good for old seasons. You didn't have to sign up to the task force, I misread your first post and thought you said you wanted to sign up, but thanks anyway more numbers never hurt!

2011/12 Celtic F.C. season

Woops didn't realise I left that out. Assists will have to go if it won't fit. Adam4267 (talk) 22:33, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay I have updated it. The apps section needs a template though. What do you think, plain white/black shirt? I'm not sure if five columns per competition is too much though, maybe assists should be taken out? Or the lines should be made bolder after each red card column to distinguish between competitions. Adam4267 (talk) 22:51, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

What do you think about implementing the new Celtic table to other Scottish season pages. Certainly would make things easier to edit when matches get underway also players arriving or departing the club would not have to be added/deleted to both the squad list & disciplinary record list. However I would think it best not to add assists section to Division 1 teams as it would be difficult to research & ultimately keep accurate. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 23:48, 14 July 2011 (UTC))

Kits

Thanks for finding that Warburton. I will try and figure out a way to add them to the Celtic page. Adam4267 (talk) 00:04, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually someone had done all the work for me, they were on french wikipedia and the entire thing was in English so I just had to copy and paste. Adam4267 (talk) 21:21, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hearts Warmup.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Hearts Warmup.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Quique Sánchez Flores

Hi there BURTON, VASCO here,

he lied down a couple of weeks, to see if i would forget, he started again, after i (we) told him through A+B+C player/manager is known 99,9999999999% of the time as "Quique Flores". I have already contacted the admin/user who blocked him the first time, and also messaged the Colombian user.

Attentively, happy week - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 01:24, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Scottish notability

Hi there - yes, both the SPL and SFL1 are fully-pro, meaning players in that league would meet WP:NFOOTBALL. SFL2 & SFL3 are not - but players would still be notable if they meet the WP:GNG. As for club season articles - well that's a murkier area. Personally, I think any League team merits a season article, providing enough sources can be found to justify it. Hope this helps! Cheers, GiantSnowman 19:59, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Did I get the alignment of the images on your user page right?

Season articles

Sorry about that I was going to update the stats after the match but forgot. I will remember in future though. Adam4267 (talk) 21:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

List of Scottish football transfers 2011–12 & TFD

Sorry forgot, was busy with Dumbarton & Dundee season pages. I have now added my opinion & vote to the live score TfD, as for the Scottish Transfer list I didn't add anymore pictures/captions as I was reserving them for the more significant transfers. However I would have liked to have added pictures & captions for Lee Wallace/Juan Manuel Ortiz/Victor Wanyama etc. But unfortunately they don't have images & I didn't want to try source images myself as I'm very much unsure about the copyright restrictions. As for adding a more detailed intro I was going to leave it a while but if you feel you can adequately summarize the present transfers then feel free. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 23:53, 22 July 2011 (UTC))

User:DUCKISJAMMMY/2010-11 Dundee F.C. season

Hey, I just a finished Dundee past season page & before I move it to Mainspace I was wondering if you could give me some help with it as the contents box is in the wrong place & I would also appreciate if you could give your opinion on it & try to spot any mistakes. Regards (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 19:13, 23 July 2011 (UTC))

It looks significantly better especially the division table, much thanks for taking the time to help. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 20:10, 23 July 2011 (UTC))

David Crawfords

Yeah, there's been a lot of confusion on the online statistic sites (eg soccerbase). This is because the Hibs David Crawford, who is a winger aged 18/19, was on loan at Ayr last season. Last season Ayr had a goalkeeper called David Crawford, who was born in 1985. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

The thought of the Hibs website ever being remotely competent amuses me. Worse than the goalkeepers. ;-) Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Taskforce

Hi, I have never set up - or indeed been involved with - any taskforces within the Project, so your best bet for more info would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Task forces and sub-projects. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Regards, GiantSnowman 15:58, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

I've sorted out the WP:FOOTY template for you. Now all we need is for someone to copy over the sandbox content to the template itself. – PeeJay 20:47, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

No need to copy the text into the discussion page, just tell people that the template should be changed exactly as it is in the sandbox. I'll give your categories a look now. – PeeJay 20:58, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, I think everything's sorted now. The template works in a pretty convoluted way, but I think we're good to go. – PeeJay 21:23, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Sure mate. Just don't make it too frequent, as I can get a bit irritable sometimes. – PeeJay 21:37, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Good question. I've been wondering why it's taking so long. Maybe they just have a bit of backlog at the minute. If it's not done by tonight, I suggest adding a message to WT:FOOTY, asking one of our resident admins to help out. – PeeJay 16:46, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

2011–12 Hamilton Academical F.C. season

Hey Warburton, could you please explain why you reverted my changes to this page I'm a bit confused as to why even the pre-season results from 8 & 12 July are incomplete now. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 17:31, 24 July 2011 (UTC))

No problem (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC))

Scottish Division 1 season pages

I know your busy with the Scottish Taskforce creation, but I have been updating the Scottish first division sides season pages 2011-12 after their challenge cup matches, which took a lot longer than expected as the squad list & disciplinary record weren't up to date mainly my own fault not updating them regularly when adding transfers. Anyway upon are enlightenment that division 1 sides don't have squad numbers, I removed the number section in disciplinary record but was unable to do so in squad list if you could remove it in one of pages I will do it in the remainder. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC))

Hopefully there will be a response from the template creator & that it can be modified as it's quite helpful the fact it automatically adds the total. Thanks for the help,good luck with the taskforce. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:33, 24 July 2011 (UTC))

I modified the table User:Adam4267 created for Celtic's current season to have no number section & used it on 2010–11 Dundee F.C. season but it doesn't automatically add up the totals like the current template but is possible solution. However it would take lengthy time apply to pages.(★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 23:30, 30 July 2011 (UTC))

Fulham 2011-12

XI games are not first team and are not included in the official fixtures list here - http://www.fulhamfc.com/MatchAndTeam/FixturesList.aspx, so there is no reference available for them. JMHamo (talk) 23:16, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Forth Valley Royal Hospital

I took a look and see no obvious issues with the nomination. I have not checked the article as that is part of the review process. At this time it looks like what is needed is patience. Some of my past nominations have gone seven to ten days with no obvious signs of anyone having looked at them, so a two day old nomination with no review is not uncommon. --Allen3 ^talk 23:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Seeing as you responded at WT:FOOTY, I have also responded there, to keep the discussion in one place. Regards, GiantSnowman 18:58, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Southern League category

I know the category exists but I am moving clubs out of it. "Former" categories are not meant to be used on Wikipedia - hence the reason why the vast majority of clubs are already in the main Category:Member clubs of the Southern Football League. Number 57 17:12, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

No, I just got my edit summary wrong. Thankfully the category was correct though. Number 57 17:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, once it has been empty for four days it can be speedily deleted. Number 57 17:28, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hearts Reply

Yeah it’s really not necessary to have an extra total just for the competition itself. If removed from hearts page its probable best to be remove from the remainder. Yeah I’m just having one of those days. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:42, 28 July 2011 (UTC))

I think I'll wait till after the next fixtures for First Division Sides or when I'm adding a player to disciplinary record & delete them gradually rather then make an issue of it. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 22:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC))

Scottish Task Force

Quick question about the tagging for the task force. Will only articles that are created after the task force is fully operational be tagged with the necessary tag (scotland=yes), recently created articles or all Scottish football related pages. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 22:01, 28 July 2011 (UTC))

PeeJay informed me that if you put in a request at WP:BOTREQ a bot will tag all the articles automatically relating to the Scotland task force. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC))

Sounds good, whats left to do? Any news on the squad list template (whether it can be modified to have no number section), The Raith Rovers season page has a full list of league fixtures I persume they should be removed that the Scottish Football League hold intellectual property rights.(★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 22:41, 30 July 2011 (UTC))

Seems like both bots & admins are very much unhelpful lately, as they have been unresponsive on a number of issues already. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:41, 3 August 2011 (UTC))

Re Assessment

Can you re-assess the following pages 2010–11 Dundee F.C. season & 2011–12 Cowdenbeath F.C. season as their quality ratings are not consistant with similiar season pages of the same quality, which have also been rated by the taskforce. Thanks (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 16:32, 3 August 2011 (UTC))

I don't mean to be a nuisance, but a response on the above matter would be appreciated, I know you didn't rate the pages in question, but you did assess the majority of season pages that fall under the taskforce so far. If we’re going to run a task force properly it's best that we be consistent with our standards. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 20:27, 3 August 2011 (UTC))

Ok will do. (★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★) 21:41, 3 August 2011 (UTC))

Hi there, I've joined, don't know how active I'll be but will contribute whenever I can - good work setting this up, it's been long overdue! GiantSnowman 15:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Warburton how do you get that table which lists articles by quality/importance. Adam4267 (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite, have signed up and will try to be an active participant! Deserter1 20:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Malleus aforethought

Please don't be put off from article creation and improvement by the recent nonsense regarding the hospital article. As has become clear at Malleus' talk page, he apparently wished to make a political point, and saw you as a means to do so. He can do that, but it doesn't reflect on you, or the work you put into the article, at all. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

You are a fucking joker. Malleus Fatuorum 00:51, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

No, I'm interested in supporting people who want to contribute to the encyclopedia. Your acting like you have a need to throw your weight around as a result of two failed RfAs, doesn't change that one bit. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:58, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

And now I think your agenda becomes quite apparent. Malleus Fatuorum 01:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Well yes indeed it does, since I just stated it; "I'm interested in supporting people who want to contribute to the encyclopedia". You, by contrast, want to use new contributors as a tool in your petty little war. Do you have any idea how repulsive that is? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:07, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

You can have no idea how deep a pit you've dug for yourself. But if you feel lucky keep digging. Malleus Fatuorum 01:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
