Transfers Winter 2007-08

Yeah, sorry about that. I must've accidentally deleted some stuff from the article. I was only trying to revert Egghead06's edit. – Pee Jay 14:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of footballers

Hi, you contributed to the discussion about football notability criteria in November, so you will be delighted/appalled that I have restarted the discussion here. Please give your opinion so that we can move towards formalising the criteria. Regards, King of the North East 15:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you spam

		My RfA
		Thank you very much, Woody, for your nomination and support in my RfA which I really appreciate. It closed at 83/0/0. I was surprised by the unanimity and will do my best to live up to the new role. All the best, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 16:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply] The patio at the Partal Palace in the Alhambra, Andalucia.

Lead coordinator

Hey Woody, I have asked you a question at the nominations page. The peer review dept. in wiki as a whole is in poor shape I feel (at least I myself have never had a good experience with it) whereas the WPMILHIST specific peer review system has always impressed, I've just asked you on your thoughts about improving WPMILHIST's PR dept. further.

Good luck! SGGH ^speak! 17:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou, your answers were very helpful and you clearly know your stuff and you are curteous to questions. I will take a look at new and improved WP:PR and particularly Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers which I had not seen before. SGGH ^speak! 20:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James Milner

Do you have anything more to add to the PR? Buc (talk) 19:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I pretty sure I've addressed every issue raised either in the article or with a reply in the PR. Buc (talk) 22:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can't really do much until RM replies. Dweller just gave some advice, he didn't give any feedback about the article. Buc (talk) 22:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock? Update?

Please see: Diffs.: a act of vandalism at Heath Ledger apparently committed by a user that you have recently unblocked. See Talk:Heath Ledger for context. Thanks. --NYScholar (talk) 21:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again; was just about to add the template, but I see that you have done so. --NYScholar (talk) 21:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

No idea where that came from, they were doing alright AFAIK. Major mistake on my part, unblocked, etc. Thanks for telling me.Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 23:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks again for letting me know. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 23:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Villa history

Hi Woody, just saw you added a {{fac}} to the Villa recent history article. I'll get round to reviewing it tomorrow with luck. You may have noticed ITFC stats article at FLC right now, and I'm working hard on ITFC history to complete the topic... All comments welcome as ever! The Rambling Man (talk) 21:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Villa FAC

No worries about the decades - as long as it's consistent that's fine, though I'm not a big fan or going against the MOS. As for other points, I've got a couple - one on the specifics of the references and secondly about images. Though I realise it's damned annoying not being able to use the images we want. I'm sure you have a list of images you'd like to use but can't. Anyway, I'll get back to you (on the FAC page) as soon as I get chance, perhaps later today.

Villa 1961-

Just a quickie. In the lead, your note #1 doesn't reference the sentence it's attached to. Would have changed it myself, but can't make head nor tail of the "new-look" history section on avfc so can't find anything to change it to, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

sorry to be picky, but it still doesn't explicitly mention them being in Europe by 1977, which is what the sentence says. Presumably this is via winning the League Cup? you could always add a bit to the note to say so. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal

Woody, can you have a look at Oddball600 (talk · contribs)? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; when do I get to practice rollback? Seems all of his/her edits have been attended to. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Reagan protection

Perhaps you could revisit the idea of semi-protection. The edits by established editors is usually sound, and not a drive-by vandalism by anonymous contributors. Full protection is too much, but I think that semi-prot might allow for a better use of editors' time. When you factor out the anon vandalism, the remaining edits are far more manageable (and a lot more sane). Thoughts? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 18:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Footy!

Hey, Woody! I've tentatively returned to editing articles within the scope of WP:FOOTY.....OK, related to Liverpool F.C. One question: does the project maintain a formal system for the promotion of articles to A-class, á la MILHIST? I've identified an array of neglected articles that I'm resolved to ...."improve" ;-). If you're ever inclined to assist such efforts, I'd happily welcome that support!*hint hint* I really shouldn't allow myself to be so distracted from Charles Harington Harington. Regards, SoLando (Talk) 14:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that's unfortunate. I've become so accustomed (in the project space) to the extensive, meticulous structure of MILHIST. Perhaps Footy should employ the service of yourself and/or Kirill to effect project transformation? ;-) I can't fathom why/how I neglected to tag Harington. Thank you! I urge you, nay insist, that you select the Irish VC list for your next project - I'm of Green heritage! Admittedly, I'm a veritable mongrel but I qualify for Guinness ;-). Regards, SoLando (Talk) 15:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
