Thanks for checking the InternetArchiveBot edit, I don't know why it sometimes do that. But at least the archiveurl is already there. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 09:13, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Iggy the Swan: might be that the 404 page isn't coded properly, so it displays 404 to us but doesn't have whatever the bot needs to see in the code to recognise it as a dead link. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasoning seems reasonable. At least with Joe Hart you've managed to find another source. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 13:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the lookout. Red Director (talk) 15:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would an Amazon link work for the URL? I will ask before I add. [1] Red Director (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Red Director: I'd understand adding a link that gave the reader access to the cited page, but if all you're adding is a picture of the outside of the book, that's not what the citation's for. Clicking on the isbn and following links from the results of Special:BookSources proves the book exists. Check out Template:Cite book#URL, which tells us that |url= is for the URL of an online location where the text of the publication named by title can be found (my bolding). It also says Do not link to any commercial booksellers, such as Amazon. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Red Director (talk) 15:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1956 cup final kits

Hello, its been a while. Came across a discussion of the final elsewhere, and someone asked why both teams were in change kits. I realised I had no idea. It is the kind of detail we would surely have included if one of us had seen it somewhere. Now this omission is nagging at me. Next time I'm in the loft I'll have to dig my books out and check.

Fantastic stuff! And so comprehensive! Thank you very much. I can only assume when I was looking at the microfilm of the MEN back then I skipped ahead from the semi to the week or two preceding the final and missed out on this tale.

I am woefully out of practice after so long away. That newspaper archive access would be most useful if I decide to expand Diane Leather any further. Oldelpaso (talk) 18:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1,000 Destubbing Challenge

Hi Struway2 - I hope your doing well. If you get a moment, would it be okay if you could contribute an article or two (or few) towards Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/The 1000 Destubbing Challenge? We're so close to reaching the goal - I've been doing a lot of it by myself but it's really long overdue that I ask for help xD - no worries if you can't!
