Template:English Fourth Division top scorers

This was a massive cock up on my part. I was doing some late night editing and accidentally moved the Championship top scorers to the Fourth Division top scorers, instead of moving the Division One top scorers template. I only really noticed weeks later, when players such as Danny Graham and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake had the Fourth Division top scorers template on their page, as well as the players who actually were the top scorers at that time. As you know, the Fourth Division top scorers template came about through another cock up of mine, and in hindsight, perhaps doing a template for the Fourth Division top scorers was a bit too much.

The Championship top scorers template is worth saving, as it is a current competition, and I wouldn't mind if you took it from my sandbox and created it again. Also, the Fourth Division top scorer could be deleted, but since I didn't create it and can't propose a deletion for good faith reasons, that's why it's been blanked.

DYK for Don Revie

On 11 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Don Revie, which you recently created or substantially expanded.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Reference errors on 11 June

Persondata

Hello. There's the WT:FOOTY thread HERE, which says no there isn't an explanatory guide, but does give the names of a couple of people who probably know what they're doing... There's a couple of brief and simple tutorials here that give the mechanics of editing an item.

For already existing WP pages, the link to the corresponding Wikidata item is under Tools in the left-hand sidebar. What I've been doing for category:Birmingham City F.C. players is clicking the link and generally finding quite a few of the fields already filled in, which helps. I've just been adding the player's full name or any other alternative names under "Also known as" on the English language row in the box at the top, and then in the Statements boxes, making sure the date of birth, place of birth, date of death, place of death properties are present and correct. Dates tend to be there, but aren't always right; places often aren't there, so you have to click on the "add" button (below the Statements boxes and above the boxes for links to other Wikisites) which opens the properties dropdown where you select the one you want. Only tedious bit is if you type or paste in a placename and there are several possibilities to choose from, none of which have helpful descriptions.

I've found it a useful (but dull) exercise so far, because it's made me go through tidying up lots of articles that were written years ago and haven't been touched since where half the refs had gone dead. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:58, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks, I'll take a look.--Echetus Xe 22:00, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I've frequently had to go back to the pedia page, click on the wikilink to the place name: then to the wikidata item & use the Q No. to input on the data page being edited. Helps if a description can be added whilst passing by too! (Doesn't only apply to place names, but that's probably the most common instance). Also the property "member of sports team" doesn't apply if it's a manager/coach etc. Then the correct property is "employer". Eagleash (talk) 05:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Port Vale F.C.#Current squad

Thank you for your message. Perhaps it is a question of how items display on various devices. I'm using a 14" laptop and don't, at this moment, have access to anything different. After your edit (with Kelly at the top of the 2nd column) I see 2 lines for Inniss (with only the word "Palace" on the 2nd line — level with Brown) and Leitch "out on his own" below the rest of the table. I have taken a screenshot of what I'm seeing but am not sure how to upload it. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 05:00, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update. On a 7" tablet (temp "requisition") the cols are slightly more even as Ikpeazu also then runs to 2 lines but Leitch still displays slightly below Brown (for some, not immediately apparent, reason!). So on 2 devices I have access to, your version leaves the 2nd column longer. Your call, Regards, Eagleash (talk) 05:14, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There may be a Wikipedia defined standard display resolution, but I don't know where we would find it.--Echetus Xe 09:02, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
