Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to The Chris Moyles Show. Thank you. Tiddly-Tom 19:39, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback; I discovered that the Webster book has an entire chapter on him (which I'd completely forgotten about), which was more than enough to provide a reasonable article. All the Hall of Famers now have at least some kind of article - I'd appreciate your feedback on where you think they can be improved. Thanks. Watty1962 (talk) 03:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Neil McVitie requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Thanks Swaddon for the change I must have mistyped. Oddly enough someone else (an anon user) did almost exactly the same thing (right down to the same characters) on another page that I am subbing. Either that or some slight cock-up in the software. I do check my edits but we can all make a slip.

So, thanks for that.

A tag has been placed on Ryan Jack requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello! I've reverted your recent change to Pitmedden railway station. This station was by Pitmedden House near Dyce in Aberdeen. Pitmedden in Aberdeenshire is a completely different place that never had a railway — it's closest stations were at Logierieve and Udny. --Deskford (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, have you got a reference to support this edit you made to the above article, and can you add it to the article. Thanks. Eldumpo (talk) 11:19, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This site [1] has a database of all Aberdeen players, and there is no result when I search for Tom Devlin, so he didn't play any first team league games for Aberdeen. Swaddon1903 (talk) 14:04, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Nice work on the lede of this article. That sort of work goes underappreciated around here, so it's great to see folk stepping up. Thanks! Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 23:29, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much, it's always nice to get thanks for my efforts on here. Swaddon1903 (talk) 17:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the helpful edit. You might have noticed there's been a lot of activity at the article in the last week or so. A small group of us are working to get the article to Featured status. Your input would certainly be appreciated. He's a huge figure for Norwich fans, but I think you Aberdonians retain a certain amount of affection for him, too. Anyway, any help you give will be terrific. Cheers, --Dweller (talk) 16:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football a new Football In Scotland task force has been set up as you edit Scottish football articles i would like to invite you to become a member if you wish. Warburton1368 (talk) 15:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A new article section has been set up on Scottish taskforce project page. As you are a taskforce member I would ask you to submit any new articles you create or articles you have created since the 5 August relating to Scottish football on the project page.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 1947 Scottish Cup Final 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/1947 Scottish Cup Final 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 good 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. FiachraByrne (talk) 12:52, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there SWADDON, VASCO here,

The article Duff Bruce has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Madelaine Newton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tim Healy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi - would you mind updating Ernie Winchester's page to reflect the information in the obituary that appeared in Scotland on Sunday today? http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-ernie-winchester-footballer-with-aberdeen-hearts-and-arbroath-1-2926195 I'm afraid I'm not adept enough at Wikipedia's editing functions or requirements to do so without creating extra work for everyone else.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychedelicrabbit (talk • contribs) 12:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aberdeen F.C. in European football, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English Premiership (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
