Please post new messages to the bottom of my talk page. Thank you.

Hynds & Buchan

Based on what I had in my books, plus a little extra Googling, I have created stubs at Tommy Hynds and James Buchan (footballer) (who was a half-back, FYI). Hynds is often referred to as plain Thomas in some texts so maybe that's why you've had no joy with the matter? I'm just pleased with the fortuitous timing - today is the 100th anniversary of his Arsenal debut. :) Qwghlm 23:09, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - it was a pleasure. Beats reverting vandalism, anyway. Oh, and that mcfc stats site is a real horror - what made them do it in Flash? Qwghlm 21:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A bizarre unsigned comment

hey mate! i did it becuase ben is asking for a whopping and ill give it to him after what he did to my uncle Pedro —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boytoy7 (talk • contribs).

allfootballers.com

Yes - I am a subscriber and find it very useful for researching past players. Soccerbase is superb for active/recent players, but of no use when creating articles on players from the 60s and 70s or earlier.

I must admit that it's difficult to find out the cost, but after a bit of digging, I've come up with this:

18 Months subscription £18.88

12 Months subscription only £14.99

1 Month subscription £5.00

I hope this helps. Daemonic Kangaroo 05:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

Space Corp.

Space Corp. was not invented in a single day. It has been in the planning stage for several months. Some of the best minds in the student body at Washington High School are working on it. EPWH 22:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rangers F.C. Peer review

Thanks for the comments, I'll get to work on the improvements suggested. Archibald 9 9 21:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Tommy Browell

I take it the book didn't specify an exact date of birth? If not, I think we're going to be hard pressed to find it elsewhere. Still, narrowing his month of birth down to October or November isn't too bad going. ;) - Dudesleeper 22:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support

As you set out for Ithaka, hope the voyage is long
Knowledge is your destiny, but don't ever hurry the journey
May there be many summer mornings when
With what pleasure and joy, you come into harbors seen for the first time

Don't expect Ithaka to make you rich. Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey
And, if I, one of your fellow-travellers, can offer something
To make this journey of yours even more fascinating and enjoyable
This is my assistance with anything I can help.

RFA announcements & barnstar

Oh really? Cheers for letting me know, will keep it in mind. HornetMike 19:08, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's very kind of you. Thanks very much! HornetMike 19:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha thanks! I hope I didn't have to make you go through much trouble! Thaurisil 10:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UEFA Stadia List

I made something wrong. I forgot the list was last updated at Feb 2006! So some of the stadium not on list. http://www.fussballtempel.net/uefa/4and5stars.html Sorry. KyleRGiggs 20:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I found the problem is I found Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, which held the 2009 UEFA Cup final, not on the list of that website, so I think the edit should be reversed. KyleRGiggs 02:36, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Definition of UEFA Intertoto Cup winner

I have started the discussion of the definition of the UEFA Intertoto Cup winner. Please go ahead for discussion. KyleRGiggs 11:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I love your username --PrincessBrat 13:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD and prods of Howling Terror

Hi, I notice you have nominated Howling Terror for deletion at WP:AFD and also that you have prodded his three albums: Sampler 2004, Sampler 2005, and Sampler 2006. Given that the fate of the albums hinges solely on the fate of the musician, I suggest bundling your AfD nomination by adding the three albums to it. Otherwise, we may get a result where the AfD is kept and the albums are deleted (if, for instance, there is a backlog at AfD). Cheers, Black Falcon 03:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Messages"

Dear Oldelpaso,

I recieved a 'you have new messages' box when I visited a page on wikipedia:

"Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Manchester City F.C.. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

I've never met you before and I haven't posted anything to your precious football page so could you sciency-geeks please refrain from annoying the normal and just get on with editing the worlds most incorrect and bias (and alleged) encyclopedia.

Many thanks.
