==Nomination for deletion==
For the February 2005 deletion debate, see [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Scott Carson]]. The decision was to keep the article. [[User:Jni|jni]] 12:48, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Early career==
At which club did Leeds spot him? The article says Workington Reds AND Cleator Moor FC. I don't know which is right. --[[User:Slumgum|Slumgum]] 22:36, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

The official FA website says he was "picked up from local club Cleator Moor Celtic". [http://www.thefa.com/England/SeniorTeam/Players/Postings/2005/05/ScottCarson_profile]. The Workington Reds link is referred to on the Leeds United webpage and by the BBC. [http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/3177866.stm]. What is clear is that Carson started his career playing for Cleator Moor. [[User:Average Earthman|Average Earthman]] 11:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

==Overlinking==
Before editing the infobox to have a link for every instance of "Liverpool", please see [[WP:MOS-L]].

An article is [[overlinking|overlinked]] if "a link is excessively repeated in the same article; however, duplicating an important link distant from a previous occurrence is appropriate".

:All clubs in the player infobox should be linked as per WikiProject Football [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Players|style guide]]. I also agree with [[User:Slumgum|Slumgum]]; partially linked lists look messy, so it benefits the article to include the link in the infobox. See [[Wikipedia:Ignore all rules]]. --[[User:Dan1980|Dan1980]] 19:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Or one could choose to agree with [[Template talk:Football player infobox#Wikilinking|this football player infobox style guide]]. I personally think that linking every instance looks messy, and that having the current one not linked highlights it in a way. I'm not going to revert you again, but I just want to point out that you aren't correct :)
:::It's something that really needs looking at and sorting definitively. It's no good having three different style guides. [[User:Alii h|aLii]] 19:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

== Sorry ==

Sorry, i accidentally messed up Carson's stats table (put leeds on again) i cant fix it, very sorry

== England career ==

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? [[User:Daemonic Kangaroo|Daemonic Kangaroo]] 05:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:How about this:
{{England Squad 2006 World Cup}}
:as an argument? The prose of the article talks about it somewhat too. [[User:Alii h|aLii]] 13:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

::I don't deny that - my point is that he is the only player included in the category who has never made a single appearance for England. Perhaps in time he'll finally get the chance to put this right! [[User:Daemonic Kangaroo|Daemonic Kangaroo]] 16:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:::Well now he has, against Croatia on November 21st, 2007. Although I still support him taken off as an England international - he let in three goals (two due to horeendous errors, and all due to lack of confidence).  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/74.166.244.101|74.166.244.101]] ([[User talk:74.166.244.101|talk]]) 21:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==WBA==
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.<small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Londo06|<font style="color:#fef;background:red;">'''Londo'''</font>]][[User talk:Londo06|<font style="color:white;background:black;">'''06'''</font>]]</span></small> 15:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
