Eagley F.C.

Hi, noticed you're somewhat the resident expert on the fine clubs of the West Lands league, and have written some good articles. I created a small article for Eagley F.C. in one of my 'argh, a red link, destroy it!' moments, using info gleaned from other articles. However, it could use your touch. Also, the article on Eagley, if you know anything of the place. Cheers and happy wiki'ing! Grunners 15:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you may want to check any club articles you create are linked to from List of football clubs in England. Grunners 15:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I wouldn't say they're too small. Nowhere on the article does it say it's a list of clubs above a certain level, and there's some other equally small teams on there. Grunners 18:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Further to your edits to the page today, I would like to add an Infobox on the page similar to those on other club pages. Yesterday I added a basic infobox to the Wyre Villa F.C. page. Unfortunately I do not know the Wyre Villa second kit so made it all white for now. However, for Blackpool Wren Rovers, do you know the following that can be included in the infobox?

  • Manager
  • Capacity
  • Second Kit colours (inc sock colours)

If it is ok would you leave the info on my talk page? Or if you would prefer to add the infobox yourself, by all means do!

Thank you. Tangerines 17:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, many thanks for your response. I will add the details to the pages. I also just realised that the Blackpool Gazette might have some of the information from their match reports, so I will check their online site. ♦ BFC ♦·Talk 14:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your message. I wasn't casting any doubt as to whether the three clubs should be included in the West Lancashire League (WLL) article. I was pointing out that there was no evidence to show that they competed in the WLL given that wikipedia is strict in having reliable verifiable sources. The other teams it is mentioned that they competed in the WLL, but Great Harwood Town F.C. and Kendal Town F.C. don't mention them playing (under the previous names) in the WLL. The official Kendal website I see now does mention they played for 3 seasons in the 1930s in the WLL so fair enough. However, the way the section is it comes across as if these are clubs who were WLL regulars who have gone on to bigger and better things. Yet Kendal (as Netherfield) played just three seasons in the league. I think the section is a good idea but (in my opinion) it should be much more than just a list of clubs - which is why I added details, again partly to get away from it just being a list. Perhaps it would be better if you wish to include the likes of Kendal (Netherfield) who have only played a very short time in the league, that each clubs entry is slightly expanded upon. Also I removed all the line breaks you had placed in as they were not required. Still good work though, the only thing that needs done and is perhaps more important than a list of clubs who have plated at a higher level is adjusting the season to 2007-08 and the correct teams in each division. As you clearly have a lot of very good knowledge about the league, anc created most of the articles perhaps you could do that? Have fun! ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 23:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James Mitchell (footballer, born 1897)

Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information. What sources do you have for 1895/Fleetwood etc.? All the ones present on the article say 1897. GiantSnowman 09:31, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
