I just thought it funny with the icon you added just now!! (As I look back at my own talk page!) Govvy (talk) 10:49, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You mean this? - Iggy (Swan) 10:54, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Or on second thoughts, adding the template on this page. These are the two pages I have added a template on today. Iggy (Swan) 10:58, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

heh, no the first one, icon on your userspace, Hzh has done a lot on the Spurs article, you should copy the icon over onto his userspace!! :P Govvy (talk) 11:07, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

im not wrong

you can look at manchester united wikipedia. it says 20 league titles https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_FC — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.107.225 (talk) 19:58, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, not all these titles were won in the Premier League era, the first seven titles were from the league which is not known as the Premier League in those days. Iggy (Swan) 20:02, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Middle name vandal

Hello. Another time, report them at WP:AIV. Someone else did, and they've now been rangeblocked. See WP:RVAN. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:18, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Struway2: - I was expecting the individual IP address to be blocked, the rangeblock is better here. Iggy (Swan) 13:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Martínez i Montoliu

Did you check the sources? The catalan version of the name is written without the "o". What is it with you folks suppressing the Catalan naming customs? Go check both the Spanish and the Catalan wikipedia pages on him. --2A04:4540:641B:9600:75A4:1AB8:D8F7:945D (talk) 03:12, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have now checked the sources which says about the subject header, however the infoboxname should be the same as the page name without the identifiers. The current version is sourced and up to date. Iggy (Swan) 16:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That has nothing to do with me since the only thing I did on this page was incorrectly changing the defaultsort. Ser Amantio di Nicolao may help with that, not me. Sorry, Iggy (Swan) 09:23, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Knockaert

Hello, and thanks for spotting/fixing it. It's just getting the parameters the wrong way round: I've caught myself doing it before, didn't realise I'd actually saved any like it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:27, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Siggy's transfer fee,

I don't see it in the source, where did the £8.8 mil come from? Govvy (talk) 10:16, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From the page history, this figure of 8.8 million came from the addition by Rayman60 from the transfrmarket website which was replaced by the club website source by Govvy. When I've looked carefully on the archiveurl, there's no fee on what the club paid to 1899 Hoffenheim and the BBC website says £8m there. Iggy (Swan) 10:29, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, didn't realised I changed a url for that, anyway, transfermarkt is unreliable and shouldn't be trusted, might be good to add the BBC citation and match it then. Govvy (talk) 10:39, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive spaces in refs

I would have thought the spaces you added in this edit are more appropriate than the rather excessive ones in your later edits, such as this one. Was the script changed or something? Mattythewhite (talk) 17:22, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the edits (the ones like Dwight Gayle and others I've seen reverted turned out to be excessive spaces as you've noticed. I was not aware that the excessive spaces does not satisfy everyone with that like yourself here. Iggy (Swan) 17:27, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I should have looked at this first which concludes in more reverting of my edits after the start of thread re spacing. Iggy (Swan) 17:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Hi, just wanted to point out that Jmorrison and yourself seem to be fixing ref displays in a contradictory way from one another (see Anya vs McCarthy. Other than when aiming for a GA etc, I'm not sure what the great need is to fix these parameters as long as the refs display the necessary info? We all know there's plenty of bare refs about which do need improvement. Anyway, just to highlight that you're each doing it differently so at some point you might end up with a big bunch that the other disagrees with, if you're planning to do wholesale fixes.

hi I edited this page. the information is accurate. if you can correct errors for me without deleting them it would be appreciated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Majikalex32 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Qveen Herby

I believe you are the person to contact about this matter, I am not yet advanced enough to know how to do it. You have the most thoroughly detailed profile of anyone who has edited the page in question, so you'll likely be able to help. The page for Qveen Herby has a wealth of information about Amy Noonan's past career with Karmin, it is for this reason that I believe a change of title to be appropriate. I propose the title be changed to "Amy Noonan", as the page itself is not solely about Qveen Herby. I also believe a redirect from Qveen Herby makes sense if this change is accepted. Can you help me? Thank you in advance, cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charsch061 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Through the usual naming of articles which are stage names, that would usually be the right way (example, the person whose birth name is "Timothy Moseley" but uses the stage name "Timbaland" would have the article Timbaland as the article title. This article that you've mentioned says the name was re-branded in 2017 so I think the article title should remain as it is. If you think differently, you can discuss this on the article's talk page for further opinions. Thank you, Iggy (Swan) 17:07, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At the top??

Hardly.
These problems are fixed within minutes of flagging them. Bye, 205.189.94.17 (talk) 20:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've usually see them at the top of the articles so that users are aware of possible link rot in articles. See what User:Northamerica1000 thinks about it. Iggy (Swan) 20:54, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
