Re: GA

Hi, RRD13, as promised/threatened on my talk page, I've created a page over at the recruitment centre: Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Recruitment Centre/Recruiter Central/Archives/Royroydeb. Please go over there and take a look, so we can move onto the quiz. Thanks. Also, you should know that it's not necessary to blank your talk page; actually, it's discouraged, so that other editors can access the discussion if they needed. For example, I had to start a whole new section to continue our discussion. Please let me know how I can assist you in any way. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:55, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Tommy Spurr may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Couple of things

about your edits to Scott Dann. First, please don't remove {{citation needed}} or any other maintenance tags without either doing the work required, or explaining in an edit summary why you think the tag is no longer needed. Second, if a stats table has "as of match played <date>" above it, that means the stats in the table are correct up to and including the match played on that date. Neither Dann nor his club played a match on the date you changed it to. Thank you for your understanding. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:07, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Good articles

Please read Wikipedia:Good article criteria and have a look over articles thoroughly before nominating them for Good article status. Your recent nominations of V. V. S. Laxman, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ian Bell have not considered the criteria: all four have significant referencing and prose issues. Harrias ^talk 12:04, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of West Ham United F.C.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article West Ham United F.C. you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

WikiCup 2013 September newsletter

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).

The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Disambiguation link notification for October 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Demarai Gray, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lee Clark (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.

Everton

Hello, and thanks for asking. If you have a proper look at the page, you'll see that the copying is the other way about: My Everton News have copied from Wikipedia. The reference numbers are still in there, though they don't link to anything, and at the very bottom of the page they attribute their source to Wikipedia. Websites are allowed to copy off Wikipedia so long as they attribute the source and so long as they don't claim the content as their own copyright. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:07, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay

The article Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay for things which need to be addressed.

Propesed deletion of List of Indian footballers to have played in foreign clubs

The list is notable as it features players who have played for the Indian national team. Moreover, almost one players have their articles created in Wikipedia. All players have made their debut in the I-league. This page mentions such players as notable. Therefore, they are notable. And I have provided references. Moreover, No article can be deleted due to no citations. Please see here. Thank you, please from now on consult thse articles before making such fu****g proposals.. TheProudEditor (talk) 08:27, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Re the above

Hello, and thanks for asking. If an article has previously been created and deleted via AfD, as a version of this was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indian footballers who have played for foreign clubs, it can be tagged for speedy deletion as a repost, see WP:CSD#G4. If the reviewing admin agrees that it is "a sufficiently identical and unimproved copy" of the previously deleted page, they'll delete it and it saves having to go through the PROD/AfD process.

If an article has been repeatedly created under the same name, an admin can protect that name from being recreated, see WP:SALT, but that doesn't stop it reappearing under a new name. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Career stats tables

Hi, thanks for adding a career stats table at Tom Cairney, and for referencing it. However, when adding tables in the future could you ensure they meet the layout displayed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players#Career statistics, which is the WP:FOOTY MOS for player articles. The areas where your table needs improving are using FA Cup and League Cup columns as this player has played in England (albeit that is not included in the WP:FOOTY table), not using a Continental column as this player has never played in a continental competition, en dashes for season ranges, dividing the divisions into separate cells and adding a subtotal for Hull City. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Where a player had a loan spell with a club he subsequently joined permanently I include both spells in one subtotal, like with the York City spells at this table. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 15:01, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Reliable sources

I don't know what you thought you were doing with this edit. But the idea of posting to a self-publishing website, and then citing your own post as a source for information in the biography of a living person, shows a complete lack of understanding of how this place works. If you've done this anywhere else, then please, as a matter of urgency, go back and revert yourself. And then I suggest you read and try to understand the relevant policies, on verifiability and biographies of living persons, and the guideline on identifying reliable sources.

I see you volunteered to review the Scotland in the Early Modern Era for GA status. Thanks for reviewing this! (I was going to review it, but I saw you beat me to it.)

Your GA nomination of Sachin Tendulkar

The article Sachin Tendulkar you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Sachin Tendulkar for reasons why the nomination failed.

Just a reminder

about updating career stats tables. If the table has above it {{updated|match played...}} or "correct as of match played on" and then a date, the date should be that of the last match included in the stats. Not today's date, unless you're updating after a match played today. I've fixed the one at Scott Dann. You may want to fix Alan Judge (Irish footballer) and any others yourself. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:49, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

GTA V GAN

Hi there, I am writing to you to inform you that I have withdrawn your GAN for Grand Theft Auto V. Since you haven't contributed to the article, it would be fair if you had consulted with the article's editors before starting a GAN, as outlined in the GAN instructions. We had the same issue with Boaxy (talk · contribs); it is nice that you think the article is good and would like to see its quality status progress, but it is unfair to not consult with its editors. The article is currently awaiting a B-Class review, and should it pass we can then look at getting it ready for a GAN. If you're interested in helping the article at hand, since you haven't contributed to it, you're more than welcome to conduct the B-Class review yourself. CR4ZE (t) 10:21, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
