Margate F.C.[edit]
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not a Margate supporter, although I was born there and occasionally used to go along to Hartsdown Park if Gillingham weren't playing -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:24, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
List of Brentford F.C. seasons[edit]
The figures of 2.12, 2.10 and 2.07 points per game in the lead section of List of Brentford F.C. seasons are not possible as there were only 2 points for a win in those days. Did you get those from a particular source or are they calculations that you made? Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of McLanachan[edit]
The article McLanachan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Set index page with only one relevant entry
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for October 11[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tony Harper, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southern League Cup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Infobox editing[edit]
Please stop editing the infobox against the standard formatting (i.e. removing/adding whitespace etc.) GiantSnowman 09:54, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
- I don't intentionally, it is something the visual editor has started to do. Beatpoet (talk) 12:54, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
Women in Red World Contest[edit]
Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
ArbCom 2017 election voter message[edit]
Categories[edit]
Hi Beatpoet, I notice that you have been adding articles to wartime guest categories. I haven't looked at any of the others, but Albert Aiken popped up on my watchlist. Per WP:CATV, all categorisation should be verifiable, which means that those categories should be supported by cited content within the article. There is no mention of Aiken being a wartime guest at Watford in the article currently. Could you possibly add a line and your reference please? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
Career stats tables[edit]
I'm nit sure where you're getting the formatting/template from, but please can you ensure you use the MOS in future... GiantSnowman 13:48, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- Again, please use the MOS - Dave Metchick formatting is bogus... GiantSnowman 13:00, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 21[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ron Greenwood, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page LMA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Stub tags[edit]
...go below categories, not above them, please ok? GiantSnowman 19:41, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
Great War article edits[edit]
Most grateful for the time you've taken; it was ages after I wrote them that I found that Serre had a link in English Wiki. Keith-264 (talk) 17:59, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- No problem Keith-264, I only created Serre-lès-Puisieux last November after finally connecting "Serre" with Serre-lès-Puisieux! Beatpoet (talk) 13:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
List of Brentford F.C. players (1–24 appearances)[edit]
If you recognise that my edits are made in good faith, but you don't understand the reason for them, don't revert them - ask me. There are two main types of edits:
- [[Midfielder|Wing half]] --> [[Wing half]] (and many similar); these make the links more accurate
- {{ENG}} --> {{flagu|England}} (and many similar) - see WP:OVERLINK
Colonies Chris (talk) 14:18, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- There's no consistency Colonies Chris, why only do the England nationalities and not the rest, and why only do List of Brentford F.C. players (1–24 appearances) and neither of the other player pages? Beatpoet (talk) 14:30, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- Brentford is in England, so there's no need to link that. I'm happy to unlink the other major nationalities as well. I can't do all articles simultaneously. Colonies Chris (talk) 14:59, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
- I'd rather you left the page as it was Colonies Chris, which is in the same format as virtually every other English club "list of players" page on wiki. Sorry, but I'm reverting your edit. Beatpoet (talk) 15:05, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
