Enfield Town FC again!
Enfield Town F.C. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Still having problems. You kindly revised Ericsback's posts of unverifiable opinion on the Enfield (1893) F.C. page. He very obviously doesn't know how to edit pages properly and managed to delete one of my references on the Enfield Town page while very obviously trying to keep it, but he has also reposted content about the reason for a libel suit which is quite frankly not true. I have reverted the page to my last edit in order to remove this. I know he no longer bothers replacing the personal opinion stuff on the Enfield (1893) page so I have a favour to ask. Could you perhaps inform him that he shouldn't do it to the Enfield Town page either. I keep pointing him to The five pillars of Wikipedia but that has no effect. In fact all that happens is I get more abuse, the latest piece being called, "Kommandant of Stalag luft 13". He has already got a warning from someone else on his talk page but he ignored that. I will post another comment to his talk page suggesting he makes sure he doesn't include something which is plainly untrue as well as the POV stuff but I am sure that anything he gets from me is just seen as, "Oh no! Same old person beating the same old drum." Thanks again. -- Jancyclops (talk) 20:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks mate. I get the feeling Mr Wall may finally have got the hint. He is now refusing to talk to me and yet all I have really wanted right the way through is for him to cite sources for his additions to the Enfield Town FC page. I think I upset him by not calling him names and by continually pointing him to the Five Pillars (and I have to thank you for the fact I know about them in the first place). He has still had to have the last word about the drop in standards. OK, we didn't drop as far as those Wimbledon fans who went from following the original club to AFC Wimbledon but a lot of them had actually stopped going anyway, so going to watch any football was a step up (but I am not going to bother removing that bit). But the Wimbledon fans didn't experience the same drop as ManU fans leaving to go to FC United. I expect him to start posting such information to the AFC Wimbledon page a.s.a.p. Well, no, he has got an axe to grind so I don't really.
- Anyway, once again, thanks for helping out without having to ban the bloke from posting to Wikipedia. I really don't want anybody banned unless they do an awful lot more than he did. --Jancyclops (talk) 20:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)(a.k.a. "Kommandant of Stalag luft 13")
If you think you have seen the last of me then think again. I will continue to disrupt yours, and anyone else's self congratulatory witterings as your wailing has just made me more and more determined. Your patronising replies and pathetic protests about my edits do not disguise the fact that I have hit a very raw nerve with you and that you are extremely uncomfortable when anyone says anything that you do not agree with. I will not comply with your demands no matter how much you stamp your feet. Like I say, Eric is not only back, but he's here to stay. Ericsback (talk) 21:01, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Enfield Town FC
I am having trouble with the Enfield Town FC page being vandalised. User:Ericsback keeps accusing Enfield Town of hijacking the now defunct Enfield FC. "Hijacking" means to take over by force (so Wiki tells me) and Enfield FC carried on going until 2007, which suggests that the new club did not hijack the old one. He also keeps putting in unverifiable opinions surrounding the motives for the formation of both AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester. I don't want to be in an edit war but equally I don't want unverifiable POV included in the article. As it happens I have left some of his comments in, with "citation needed" next to them, because I am fairly sure he is correct but these, again, cannot be verified. I have previously requested semi-protection to stop these attacks but I suspect User:Ericsback requested the article to be unprotected so he could change it again and then semi-protected, presumably so that I don't revert it.

Hey
I wanted to talk to you about these last few months in boxing, and the next few months. Is that alright?--Jedi Kasra (talk) 19:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- So I suppose you missed the Haye-Barrett fight? I saw the whole thing on Youtube, it was very cool, and I'm glad that Haye weighed in at 215 lbs, in my opinion he should not go above 224. Holyfield only weighed in above 220 once, and that was the second bout with John Ruiz, where he weighed in at 221. I am dissapointed in the fact that The Ring magazine did not choose to rank Haye, rather choosing to rank unbeaten Ukrainian Alexander Dimitrenko. They said in this year's May issue that they'd rank Haye as soon as he fought at heavyweight, but they didn't! I don't understand why, according to Boxrec.com, Dimetrenko KO'd one Luan Krasniqi in the third round, on the same day Haye KO'd Barrett. What I don't understand is how The Ring could consider that more of an accomplishment that Haye knocking down Barrett five times, kayoing him in round 5. Anyway, I really like Haye, I prefer him to Chris Arreola, and I feel he can inject excitement back in the heavyweights, but I just feel that he should take his time, like Evander Holyfield, did when he first campaigned for the h'weight title, and fight more contenderd until the Klitschkos have no choice but to fight him. Opponents for Haye are out there, he could fight Dimetrenko, Ibragimov, Maskaev. Former unsisputed cruiserweight champ O'Neil Bell recently announced his desire to campaign at h'weight, Haye could take him on. Holyfield was ranked #1 by ing magazine and the WBA and WBC for TWO YEARS after beating James Tillis, and Tyson ducked him, for whatever reason, fighting Frank Bruno, Tyrell Biggs, Carl Williams, and James Douglas. Still, Holyfield kept busy, trying the approach of beating everybody so Tyson has nobody left to fight.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 21:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I would like to see Hatton fight the winner of Pacquiao-De La Hoya, which I believe will be Pacquiao, but Iwould also like to see him fight WBC junior-welterweight champ Timothy Bradley, who beat Junior Witter for that title. He's got more sting in his punch, I believe, I didn't not see him beat Witter, but I did see him beat Edner Cherry, so.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 21:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- How goes everything, man? Been a while. Who are you backing for the Hatton-Pacquia fight?--Jedi Kasra (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, I know I live in Virginia in the US, but because I have DISH network, I can get a Setanta Network channel. I enjoy watching the Steve Bunce Boxing Hour, it sucks that there isn't a show completely dedicated to boxing here in the US year round. Yeah, we have seasons of "Friday Night Fights" usually on every week, but a season usually lasts from January to September, and HBO and Showtime have their cards typically twice per month. Anyway, I have heard a lot about a boxer named Martin Rogan. Have you seen him fight, and just how good is he?--Jedi Kasra (talk) 15:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- What about the upcoming bout between Haye and W. Klitschko? I am in support of Haye, because teh division needs life breathed in in desperately, but I disapprove of the way he is conducting himself to the brothers, I mean, Wlad's basically giving him an undeserved shot, so he should be grateful. Still, I think Haye will make the most of it, since the best opponent either has beaten in Juan Carlos Gomez, and will outspeed a KO Wlad, hopefully. I don't think he can win a decision in Germany, hopefully he'll go to Kiltschko's gut, something I don't see too many fighters do. I heard that Rogan is 38? I got the June issue of The Ring Magazine today, and it features Rogan, so I'll be able to read more about him. I like Hatton, I think he's a very cool dude and he's The Ring Magazine champ, making him the true, legitimate, and only junior-welterweight champion. I'm just not sure if he'll be able to deal with the speed of Pacquiao. I was wrong about the Malignaggi fight, but you know what they say, you are only as good as your last fight. In this one, Hatton will be impressive going in. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Hatton will win, but I guess we'll have to see it Saturday. (In my case, I 'll have to see it when HBO shows the fight before the live broadcast of Antonio Tarver-Chad Dawson II.) After that, we should discuss it.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 17:34, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- It'd be weird if it was a draw, wouldn't it?--Jedi Kasra (talk) 17:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
- I read the Ring's article on Rogan, was impressed, by the way, and near the end they suggested Chris Arreola as a potential opponent. What's your take on this? I really don't care too much for Arreola, just wanted to get your opinion. I think Haye might struggle, too. I just find it unfair that people criticize Haye, I mean yeah he was stopped, but it was in his what, 10th or 11th pro fight? And he's improved since then. As far as I know, the only time Wlad's crawled off the canvas to win was against Sam Peter, and Peter hit him in the back of the head twice to knock him down two out of three times, which in my opinion shouldn't have been called knockdowns. Also, Haye will be the fastest opponent Wlad's faced, probably faster than Corrie Sanders. Can you let me know how Williams-McDermott goes? Never heard of McDermott, but know that Williams beat the shell that was Mike Tyson, then got KO'd by Vitali Klitschko.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 18:19, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Also, if you were Haye, what would be your ideal weight for the fight? I would weight no more than 220, and no less than 215. I figure Wlad will be in the best shape of his life, so he'll probably come in around 235-240.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 18:19, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I did, on Showtime. It was an excellent fight, Froch's got a lot of options now. I would like to see him fight Taylor again, because two of the three judges scorecards indicated that Taylor would have won if he had managed to hang on. Froch's definitely earned my respect, got a fan-friendly style, though he can be out-boxed. Not sure if he would win over Kessler, but Froch-Librado Andrade or Lucian Bute-Froch would be worth watching. Andrade, like Froch, is a come-forward slugger, while I think Froch has a good chance of KOing Bute, if he does what Andrade did to the Romanian-Canadian in the 12th round of their first fight. Today's the big day, man, Hatton-Pacquiao. May the best man win.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 14:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Jimbo
An anon user has changed Oli's appearance/goals data for Grays from 111 (21) to the frankly implausible 111 (47). Normally I'd just revert, but I noticed that neither set of data even remotely matches Soccerbase, which gives 86 (12). This seems to be because Soccerbase has no data for Grays for season 04/05. Are you able to confirm what his correct Grays stats should be.....?

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: Can be interpreted as a claim that you are Jimmy Wales online - undue assertion of authority. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.
You have several options freely available to you:
- If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.

List of female boxers
I removed the prod tag from List of female boxers, since the article has previously been kept at AfD (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_female_boxers) and is thus not eligible for PROD. I also disagree that the deletion would be non-controversial, as the article has existed for 5 years and has had many editors. Furthermore, I disagree with your deletion rationale, as wp:lists says that redundancy between lists and categories is beneficial and I feel this list is well defined and maintainable. Having a list allows for including red links to articles that should be created, while a category alone does not. Calathan (talk) 04:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

So all I've got to do is wait till he plays in the first game of the season (not the friendly games, against the likes of Wolves, Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City), and then add him back on, even though he's played 90 games for Histon FC in 2 years?

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Kevin Scriven, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Kyle Bennett (footballer)
Hi, I see you've been having conflict with a user on this page, and well me editing too. Kyle Bennett's article was up for deletion as he has never played in a first team game, league or cup for any side, thereby failing wiki's criteria for inclusion.
The information added about him appearing in the final game v Doncaster is false (by unknown IP but perhaps User:2000uk unlogged?), I think he is confusing him with Ashley Hemmings (http://www.soccerbase.com/results3.sd?gameid=583818). I'm not too upto speed on deletion techniques so I'll leave that to you if you think it's valid. Wolvesweb (talk) 15:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Danny Batth
On another Wolves cleanup note, Batth has never played for the first team nor been an unused sub, but he did sign a first team contract in January 2009 and travelled with the squad to several games, whether this makes him a valid first team squad member I'm unsure - the new squad numbers in late July will clatify all anyway Wolvesweb (talk) 15:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Bennett
no i am not confused with Hemmings, and Kyle Bennett's page should not be deleted as although he has not played a leage game he has been promoted to the first squad, travelled with the first team and also if someone could get his England Youth stats on then it shoudnt be deleted so leave it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2000uk (talk • contribs) 18:27, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Birthdate/place issues
Hi there JIMBO, VASCO from Portugal here,
Regarding this article and its implications, i'll say:
First, i am sorry if i came across as aggressive, it is just i was told several times that birthplaces were not to be included in birthdates, but should be kept in storyline, somewhere (in start most of the time), and you removed everything. My opinion, which is of no consequence to WP/MOSNUM of course (all editors must comply to it, i'm no exception of course), is that articles should read - I.E. - RAUL GONZALEZ (born June 27, 1977 in Madrid), it's much more logical to keep that sort of info "glued", but if MOSNUM says different i'll respect it.
However, found this bit upon reading the manual, which concurs with the first notion i was taught: "Locations of birth and death are given subsequently rather than being entangled with the dates". As you see, it is not be removed, rather relocated. I already re-composed Asenjo's page.
That is all for the moment, sorry 4 any incovenience, keep up the good work,
