Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#Captaincy in football for the discussion pertaining to the above article. I agree with User:Angelo.romano that Vice-captain (football) adds very little in terms of content to Captain (football) and that the two pages should be merged, with Vice-captain (football) becoming a redirect to Captain (football). If you have any further comments, please restrict them to the discussion at WP:FOOTY. – PeeJay 19:23, 16 December 2007 (UTC) Man City redirectHey there, I saw your note on Oldepaso's page and I have deleted the redirect for you.

I noticed you put Castillo up as a good article nomination. Most of the article is solid enough, but as it is right now it will probably not pass, due to much of the Olympiacos section being unreferenced and the short lead section. However, your improvements have been good, and the length of the queue for good article reviews means there should be plenty of time to work on it. I'd be more than happy to help, but as this one is "your" nomination I wouldn't want to tread on your toes or anything. If you want any help, whether in direct contributions or a peer review type run through the article giving notes and advice, don't hesitate to ask. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

not superfluous?I don't see why anyone would think that this is not superfluous. It's extra information that isn't needed for navigation, and already appears here, where it's relevant. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 22:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC) ...I've raised the issue here. slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 02:47, 18 July 2008 (UTC) football team - singular/pluralIn British English collective nouns can take either singular or plural form - however when the team name has a proper noun, then in British English it should be treated as plural. ie. Manchester is a proper noun, therefore Manchester United should be treated as plural, hence the usage of "are" rather than "is" If a team name does not use a proper noun - ie. Arsenal, then either choice is acceptable, it depends if you want to think about the team as a business - Arsenal has made a profit this season - or as a team Arsenal have won the double. However, I did not change the Arsenal article, it already used the plural form. Sennen goroshi (talk) 09:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC) I have reverted your edits, however as an act of good faith, I have let the singular form remain on the Man City, article. If you wish to have what you consider to be the correct form of grammar on their article, feel free. I am confident that my edits are correct. Sennen goroshi (talk) 09:08, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Man City squad templateMy memory must be failing me, because I always thought that the inclusion of the "(c)" symbol in squad templates was frowned upon. And rather than me "hiding" this action without mentioning it in my edit summary, I don't include it because it's more of a subconscious action. As I said, I always thought it was standard for them to not be included. Could you direct me to the relevant discussion at WP:FOOTY where this consensus was gained? Mattythewhite (talk) 20:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC) CSD Declined on reserve playersHi. I thought I ought to explain why I did not delete the two footballer articles you nominated for deletion. CSD A7 is for articles where no notability has been given. If notability is given, even a small amount, then the article is to be given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to stay. Despite what I said in the edit summary, PROD/AFD probably would work, as they are both reserve players, so they may not meet the requirments of WP:ATH. But as a small amount of notibility was stated, I cannot delete them as a CSD candidate. Stephen! Coming... 11:47, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

TalkbackHello, Pbradbury. You have new messages at Arteyu's talk page.

Blame it on me ! 18:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC) Manchester City LogoAll the images uploaded got mistakes (for MCFC only). At first, it should be deleted and be replaced with raster (preferably PNG), instead you asked for it to be restored (and I don't blame you for that because you doesn't know whether the file need to be corrected or not). I am the one who converted and made it, I don't take it from other sites or etc and I know whether it contains error or not. My aim is to upload the highest quality SVG logo for the club. The reason for the deletion request can be seen clearly - there are mistakes on the file. I don't want the wrong version of it to be seen on wikipedia, I wanted it to be deleted subsequently. And fyi the wrong version still can be downloaded if it is not deleted. Instead of helping me to resolve the situation, you make the matter worse by asking it to be deleted. Now it has been deleted and it is now quite hard for me to request it for fixing. Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 21:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

GA stuffAre you still working on those 4 articles on your user page? Only Petrov still plays for Man City Spiderone 16:47, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Making old City season articlesHey Paul. As you may, or probably haven't, seen I've started writing up the old City season articles. I got through a couple of the most recent ones working backwards but decided that a new approach was needed, and consequently I'm currently working on the season articles from City's first years in competitive football, starting with their time as Ardwick and the first FA Cup game in 1890 and going onwards year by year. Two of those articles have already gone live (and are linked to on the City seasons template at the bottom of all City articles) and I'm on the 1892-93 article at the moment in my userspace. My primary motivation is to give City season articles a better coverage than the United articles have, meaning putting more articles up than they have (preferably all but it's going to be a huge effort) and with more detail, but my second motivation is trying to give these articles a decent level of detail, unlike a lot of the season articles around for past years, even United ones, which basically give a list of games played and stop there. Consequently I'm trying to add some basic statistical season analysis, I'm putting in the kit templates, and doing a table for number of games played by players etc etc - basically I'm replicating the current City season article to the best of my ability. However, I'm lacking a fair amount of info - even down to players' first names, though the absolutely astounding mcfcstats.com has at least given me surnames, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't be looking at other stuff I can include instead - maybe prose descriptions of the events of the season, for instance, though I've never totally liked them. Anyway, to get to my point, I was wondering if you had any suggestions. Obviously I'm not trying to rope you into doing the work yourself, but I've been wondering if a little Read&Review isn't needed here, and I'd gladly appreciate any ideas you might have, whether they be to add something, to cut something, or if you know a source of info for anything I haven't been able to find info on. Either way, if you have the time it'd be great if you could cast a quick eye over my efforts and see whether you like them or not. I'm not 100% happy with them, but I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. Thanks for your time, anyway. Falastur2 Talk 12:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC) New, worthy City articles?Hey Paul. I'd noticed that you haven't been editing on Wikipedia recently, but I'm sending you this in the hope that you still visiting every now and again, and would consider lending me your opinion. As you probably know I've had a self-implemented underlying project to update Man City on Wikipedia in terms of article volume to bring us into line with other clubs as prestigious as us or more, for self-respect as much as anything. The bulk of my work has been on my set of City season articles, which now stretches from 1890 to 1915, and which I will not stop at until I've entirely finished. However, writing 25 of those things gets monotonous and I'd enjoy another project just for a few hours to let me have some fun drawing totally different tables and researching something other than match appearances. One thing I'd noticed recently is a quantity of "xxx F.C. in Europe" articles, a trend which I'm expecting to only continue until any self-respecting club has one, which set me thinking. Should we consider adding a page like this for City? And for that matter, are there any other pages it would be worthwhile to add, either to keep up with continuing trends or to be a trend-setter ourselves? At present, I don't really have any sources except Wikipedia and mcfcstats.com at present, so I'm personally limited to low-prose articles, but I'm happy to take on any challenge I have the information for. What I don't want to do, however, is jump two feet first into a project which is either entirely superfluous, or undesirable/unpopular with the other regular City fans on Wikipedia. Thus, I wanted to test the water for your opinion - I will also be consulting Oldelpaso on this, and I welcome other users getting involved if they have any comments to make, though to be honest I'm only aware of the three of us as regular City-supporting contributors (exception of a couple of guys who update the 2009-10 City season article, and whom I've never had any contact with). I'm not asking you to commit any effort yourself to such a project (wouldn't turn down the help, of course, but I quite enjoy something like this to focus my mind on), I simply want to know whether you think it's a good idea or not. In the meantime, I may well make a test page on my subspace, so check the revision history there to see if I've added such a page in the last few hours or days and you might get a taster of what I'm thinking of - unless I have a brainwave or someone else gives me some ideas, though, I'll just follow what most clubs have on their pages at present. Anyway, thanks for your time. Would love to hear any ideas you might have.

AdviceNo problems; what do you need help with? GiantSnowman 17:49, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
Hey!Hi mate. Not a problem - everyone has their own life to live and it's absolutely fair that you focused on your own stuff for a while. I probably could've done with taking a break myself on a few occasions, though I've responded in my own way by becoming much more intermittent in my activity. Now that the season articles largely run themselves, and even the more stats-y articles like number of appearances and so on, I am a bit less active as I just work on a few niche things every now and again (ones I really need to get around to updating). Over a fair amount of time I've founded enough articles that City is now on a level with most major teams, so I'm content - the only major hole is the sheer number of missing season articles, but since we have about 60 to go and they each take 3-5 hours to write, I've struggled badly for the energy to do them for some time now. Honestly, the thing I've found most drives me to activity on Wikipedia is having something new to work on, so if you come across a club-related article which could be adapted for City but which we don't have one of yet, give me a shout and I'll pitch in. That's my thing at the moment - every few months I will scan the categories of the scum, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal etc for anything they might have added which we haven't, and then I put it in. I've been toying with trying to introduce season articles for the EDS for a while, but there's no precedent for academy side season articles so I'm pretty sure it would get deleted. In the meantime, I've largely been busying myself with doing work on NYCFC and Melbourne City stuff. Anyway, good to hear from you again. Don't hesitate to drop by if there's anything you ever want to discuss. Falastur2 Talk 22:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC) Your signatureYour signature is unreadable. Could you use a darker blue?

Article on Jean-Marie SpeichDespite the bulk of reference materials cited, it is observable that certain contributors are aggressively trying to place undue tags in this article. Some claim that knowing (a close relationship with) the subject personally, would be tanamount to serious violation against being objective in writing about the person in question. This will be true if a contributor includes information that are unsubstantiated with suitable reference materials. However, it seems more biased if one deletes contirbutions of wikipedians without substantial support to contrary claims, at least by pointing out objective reference materials; or worse, to places tags for some kind of paranoid reason. It is an insult to sensibilities of contributors who include information substantiated by citations, when such presumptive tags and comments are stamped on wikipedia articles. On the otherhand, contributors who know the subject personally are more knoweledgeable about this subject.

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
