Torbett and Celtic[edit]

I have just removed a statement from the preamble to the list of implicated individuals:

"Torbett was re-employed by Celtic after his initial conviction and sentence was served, although no official investigation into this matter has ever been conducted."

The above assertion was unsourced, so could not remain. The section on Torbett talks about him returning to Celtic Boys Club, not about employment by Celtic FC. Some clarification is clearly needed. Paul W (talk) 06:14, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bold[edit]

Begoon regarding your revert, I would ask you to consider MOS:BOLDTITLE. THE NEW ImmortalWizard(chat) 17:31, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, ideally the link should be removed from the bold part. Feel free to re-word it, but your sentence didn't actually make any sense (read it again) -

A Child sexual abuse at football clubs in the United Kingdom began in mid-November 2016.

A child sexual abuse what? began in 2016? It certainly wasn't the abuse that began in 2016... And be careful with capitalisation. Pings don't work if you alter them after saving, by the way - the ping needs to be on a new line with a new signature. -- Begoon 17:45, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
