British Home Championship

Your mass page moves should have been discussed first - please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#British Home Championship. Giant Snowman 10:50, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would be appreciated if you could fix the dashes and the template. Giant Snowman 17:57, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't know how. Mooretwin (talk) 23:02, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to move the articles to titles using – instead of -, and then make sure the links in the template actually go straight to the articles rather than via a redirect. You can do this by copy-pasting the article titles. It's a basic courtesy to fix template links when you move articles. Number 5 7 09:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you still haven't fixed this problem you created. Are you planning on doing it anytime soon? Number 5 7 10:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't have time at present and I'm not really sure how to. What does "copy=pasing the article titles" mean? Feel free to do it yourself if you have time. Mooretwin (talk) 10:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mean just copy paste the dash if you don't know how to create it on your keyboard (alt+0150). I think it's a pretty poor show that you've created this mess and aren't willing to help resolve it. Number 5 7 20:23, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A mess? Have a word wi' yersel'! I am willing, I just don't have the time at present. Mooretwin (talk) 23:40, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see some kind soul has done it. Mooretwin (talk) 09:30, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Newry-CIty-Football-Club-badge.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Newry-CIty-Football-Club-badge.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Billy Humphries

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Billy Humphries. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:13, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FFS give me a chance. I left a message on the Talk page. Mooretwin (talk) 09:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:Civility, Mooretwin. The editor above your comment here was a bot. In the other case you were reacting to a "real" editor. It's only asked that a source is provided for biographies of living people, and as an editor with 15,000+ edits and nearly five years on Wikipedia, you should know that. In the future you can include a reference when creating the article. Thanks, C 679 10:21, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I started to create the article and ran out of time. So I left a note on the Talk page to make it clear that I would be returning soon to finish the article. Obviously that was going to include adding the references. I wasn't even given 24 hours' breathing space before the messages began. Some people only have a limited amount of time to spend on WP - give us a break, we're only trying to improve the encyclopaedia. Thanks. Mooretwin (talk) 14:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
