For the February 2005 deletion debate, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Scott Carson. The decision was to keep the article. jni 12:48, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
At which club did Leeds spot him? The article says Workington Reds AND Cleator Moor FC. I don't know which is right. -- Slumgum 22:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
The official FA website says he was "picked up from local club Cleator Moor Celtic". [1]. The Workington Reds link is referred to on the Leeds United webpage and by the BBC. [2]. What is clear is that Carson started his career playing for Cleator Moor. Average Earthman 11:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Before editing the infobox to have a link for every instance of "Liverpool", please see WP:MOS-L.
An article is overlinked if "a link is excessively repeated in the same article; however, duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence is appropriate".

Sorry, i accidentally messed up Carson's stats table (put leeds on again) i cant fix it, very sorry
As Carson never played for England and is not listed on any of the statistics sites as an England international, is it correct to include him in the "England international footballers" category? Daemonic Kangaroo 05:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Sounds like Villa sent him packing, reality is that Liverpool and Villa were poles apart in their valuation of the player. Language used certainly wants attention. Londo 06 15:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I have changed his place of birth to Whitehaven. This is supported by the following sources:
Only one source, a local news article, [10] has his birthplace as Cleator Moor. -- Jameboy ( talk) 16:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
I read through this article and did some copyediting. I have a short list of concerns:
Other that these issues, the article is very well-written. I will place the nomination on hold for a week to allow these concerns to be addressed and/or discussed. Any questions and/or comments can be left here, as I have placed this page on my watchlist. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
I have looked over the citations in question. A few things I want to note about them: Because they are print sources, a reader would have to be in possession of the original source to verify them — the ability to verify them does not depend on the page number, although it would be helpful. Quotations have been provided from each of the print citations. An assumption of good faith may also come into play here, as a Wikipedia administrator is unlikely, although certainly not unable, to provide false information. Finally, the information cited is not contentious or defamatory. If Malcolmxl5 returns and is able to provide page numbers, that's great. As it stands now, though, I don't believe that their absent detracts substantially from the verifiability of this article.
With that said, I believe that the article meets the six GA criteria, so I am promoting it. Congratulations, and thanks for your hard work.
If you are able to review an article in return to help reduce the backlog at WP:GAN, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 15:57, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Apologies if this is not the appropriate place to discuss this but… Does this article really need to still be protected from vandalism? It has been protected since November 2008 and I guess that many of the issues that it was encountering by way of vandalism have either been forgotten about or may have moved elsewhere. I think there is little further need to protect this one. I would be surprised if it received more undue attention than any other article if protection were removed. Of course, if I'm wrong, it could always be reinstated following reversion. Of course, it may be wise to wait until after the 2010 World Cup has finished before removing protection.

Congratulations on "protecting" this article, and the incorrect/vandalised information which it contains. — Preceding
