Just a quick tip, all galleries need introductions! Puffin ^{Let's talk!} 18:36, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

On 6 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Scottish League XI, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Denis Law, the all-time top goalscorer for the Scotland national football team, played for the Italian League against the Scottish League XI? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Scottish League XI.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi, just letting you know that I've started the GA review for Celtic Park here. On first read it looks good, so I don't think there will be many changes to make. Cheers, Big Dom 18:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jmorrison, I've done most of what you asked at the GA. But I have encountered a problem with one of the issues. Could you please take another look. Thanks. Adam4267 ( talk) 16:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

My friend, today I was thinking to improve the quality of FC Steaua Bucuresti in Europe article by adding few statistics at every country. Now, this article is complete. Thank you for your contribution. What is your opinion about my changes?

Hello, can anybody help please? I am a good friend of Derek Hamiltons, we lost touch when he moved back to Scotland. Can anybody help me get in touch with him? My email is Morris.wayne@me.com

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.220.187.184 ( talk) 02:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I asked before but didn't get a reply would you mind me adding your new articles to the task force page. Reply here or on my talk page is ok. Edinburgh Wanderer 13:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes or no. It's important to keep a measure of what we do as a task force and seen as you contribute heavily it would be good to add your articles. Edinburgh Wanderer 21:59, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, just a quick note regarding the dates for Scotland national team managers. I don't think the start and end dates listed at the SFA page match the first and last games played under each manager; for example, Malcolm McDonald's last game in charge was on 22 October 1966, whereas the end date of his tenure is listed as 30 November 1966. With Walter Smith, perhaps it was a Capello-type situation (appointed one month and takes over formally the following month)? At present the list is unsourced, so I would propose the SFA page being cited as the reference. Cheers, Mattythewhite ( talk) 03:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for changing that. God only knows what planet I'm on the night. February honestly. Edinburgh Wanderer 22:19, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey Morrison, you recently updated Radosław Cierzniak's article & put Zagłębie Lubin as his most recent club. I was wondering where exactly you got that information from as his current club seems to be KS Cracovia. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 17:03, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Coventry City F.C. international footballers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Everton F.C. international players until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Edinburgh Wanderer 20:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jmorrison230582, I got your message re the above, I've updated the article and believe it now meets the minimum notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Although the player has not played a senior game he has achieved significant media coverage by STV, The Sun, The Daily Record etc. I would believe this now meets the min standards? Kind regards, Kennedy ^{( talk)} 16:05, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi

There is no doubt that a new company called The Rangers Football Club now exists. There is also no doubt that is has purchased the assets of Rangers FC and has now applied to join the SPL. Therefore, it is wrong to redirect this to the Rangers FC article. Regards Fishiehelper2 ( talk) 10:37, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I have restored the article pending a wider discussion on the issue (possibly AfD), and because I do not consider CRYSTAL to apply to an organisation which does exist and which has already done the things the article claims. I personally think Liquidation of Rangers F.C. would be a better article, pending the conclusion of the saga, but that this article is better than nothing. — WFC— 13:37, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

There is no doubt that Ibrox stadium has been bought by The Rangers Football Club Ltd - the Charles Green consortium. Clearly referenced fact. We do not know for certain whether SPL league games will be played there next season, so it would be wrong to state that they will. Regards Fishiehelper2 ( talk) 10:46, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

You have just reverted an edit I made, descibing it as pointless and inaccurate. I obviously disagree with it being pointless or i wouldn't have bothered. However, I am irritated by the suggestion that it was 'inaccurate'. I'd be grateful if you tell me in what respect it was inaccurate. To help you recall, here is what I added: "On June 14th, 2012, after Rangers F.C. entered liquidation, ^[1] Ibrox Stadium was sold along with other Rangers' assets, in a deal worth £5.5m, to The Rangers Football Club Ltd - a consortium led by Charles Green. ^[2] This club has applied for membership of the SPL with Ibrox as its home stadium." Regards Fishiehelper2 ( talk) 18:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I had provided a reference to show that Rangers had entered liquidation, but I suppose it depends what 'entering' liquidation means: some view 'entering liquidation' is beginning as soon as the CVA route has been closed down, others wait until a liquidator has been appointed. Cheers Fishiehelper2 ( talk) 18:20, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is " Rangers FC club dead or not". Thank you. -- Andrewcrawford ( talk - contrib) 16:35, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi - we need to discuss this. I do not believe I am pushing anything here: I am trying to update the article to reflect the new reality. However, you appear unwilling to recognise that things have changed. Your recent attempt to remove the Newco Rangers article is not constructive and was done without attempting to reach consensus. We may not be certain whether any team will be playing football at Ibrox next season, and it one does, what its name will be - it may be allowed to call itself Rangers FC, but it may have to call itself something slightly different. However, we do know that Rangers FC is being liquidated, and now has no players, so it certainly won't be playing anywhere next season. Yet you seem to believe that "is the home of Rangers FC" is accurate? Is there no 'compromise' way forward on this? Regards Fishiehelper2 ( talk) 13:12, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Please don't edit war. I've protected the article to give you and the other editors a chance to agree a compromise in talk. Please use the opportunity well. -- John ( talk) 19:21, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi James, I haven't been able to find any refs for the media coverage section. Could you please help with that? Thanks Adam4267 ( talk) 14:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I think that's everything the reviewer asked for. I had expanded the Hearts Route to Final section but the review started before I did the Hibs one. Do you think it needs expanded or is it ok as is? Adam4267 ( talk) 18:00, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm confused about the edit summary you left on this edit for Kirk Broadfoot. Specifically, I'm not sure how WP:NPF applies here. We're not talking about a little known person, and since he was convicted of the crime he was accused of, it's in the public record, and it's not just an accusation. The paragraph about injuring himself cooking egg seems superfluous, but otherwise, I'm not sure why it should be removed. -- Mosmof ( talk) 23:58, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Your input is requested here. -- Mosmof ( talk) 02:06, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

The version of events on the current page is incorrect. It states:

'Rangers entered administration in 2012 and were forced to transfer Ibrox and other assets to a new company to continue trading'

Rangers did not transfer the ownership of Ibrox to a new company upon entering administration, as the article suggests. Ibrox was not obtained by Sevco 5088 until 14/06/2012 ^[3]. This was after Rangers had applied for liquidation. The administration event did not lead to the transfer of Ibrox to a new company other than in the sense that administration was a step along the road to liquidation. For that reason the aticle should be altered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamalcfc ( talk • contribs) 23:12, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. You have contributed to the Newco Rangers article so I thought yuou should be made aware that an attempt is being made to undermine this article by pushing through a 'same club' approach despite many of us believing this is heavily biased and very selective use of the sources.

I agree about the loans but articles are supposed to be split into sections and its not that short. Maybe we should raise the loans issue at WT:FOOTY because I never know what to do with that tbh. Adam4267 ( talk) 21:41, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
