There is a discussion on going on page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football in regards to use of flags in the football transfers article. Given the change to the article took away most of the flags. I felt the best thing to do would be to remove them altogether only because if the version you had was against the mos flag policy. Then i felt the page would look more professional without them rather than with just some littered around the article all be it to serve a small purpose. I would appreciate it if you would add your view on this. I hope you continue to edit the article as you did a great job keeping it up to date. All the best. 18:05, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Warburton1368 (talk)
Thank you for your apology. I will admit that my choice of word in that one instance could have been better, and for that I also apologise. I applaud you for your maturity in this matter, and I hope you will continue as a Wikipedian in the future. – PeeJay 12:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
I would use the term "Unattached" rather than "Free agent", but otherwise you're right. If a player is not currently contracted to an association football club, he is unattached. – PeeJay 20:24, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks i created most of the scottish seasons only because no one was getting them started. My preference would be by squad number but im sure either would be fine. Can i ask where you found the squad numbers only reason i am asking is someone updated the Hearts ones for the new season and i couldnt find them anywhere.

Hi there - I've just had a quick look to see if I can find any policy related to this, and I can't. I'm positive it exists, but where, I don't know! However, if memory serves me right, I think that only the user in question is supposed to move their userspace into mainspace, unless otherwise requested. Either something to do with licensing, or something to do with politeness - or indeed both. Regards, GiantSnowman 18:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
Excuse me, but your recent statement on my talk page left me fairly confused, to say the least. While there is not much room for misinterpretation, except perhaps for the missing "d" at the end of the verb, edit summaries usually always use the form "Reverted to revision <revision number> by <user>: <reason>" when edits are reverted via the "undo"-link. So where should I have suggested that your last comment at WT:FOOTY has been gibberish? o.O --Soccer-holicI hear voices in my head... 14:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
I wouldn't worry about it. You added the link to the Sligo Rovers website in good faith, whereas a lot of other people have apparently added it as spam in the past. You'll be fine. – PeeJay 00:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm gonna keep the flags off next years MLS transfer page when I create it. – Michael (talk) 21:50, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, it would be appreciated if you could spend a minute at Help:Using_talk_pages#Indentation or Wikipedia:Indentation. Some of your discussion page postings have been hard to follow once replies happen. Thanks --ClubOranjeT 12:17, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Think thats it done Warburton1368 (talk) 16:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Hey Duck I don't know if you noticed the changes I made to the table here do you think it is an improvement or has it made the page worse? Adam4267 (talk) 21:55, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Just wondering would you would think about adding a bigger intro and adding a few more up to date caption photos to List of Scottish football transfers 2011–12. Also i noticed you hadn't commented on the TfD although you did comment on the original debate at wiki football re live scoring updates. not sure if you noticed it thanks. Warburton1368 (talk) 22:40, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
Ill take a look. Warburton1368 (talk) 19:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
Sorry never realised been using an ipad lately which is totally incompatible with the undo and rollback feature enabled on my account all it takes is a slight touch and you cant stop it and half the time you dont notice its done it. Sorry i undid the rollback so is back to your edit. Warburton1368 (talk) 18:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Yeah its been a bit of a challenge creating the task force as its above my wiki skill base but getting there with help which means ive not updated the season articles this weekend. Thats funny because i tried the same thing myself yesterday making the exact change you did. It was a pre existing template which appears not to be changeable. I have mailed the creator of the template to ask if it can be changed to make that field optional. As im not aware of another one. If i don't get a reply i will have a look for another pre existing template tomorrow night or may need to look into creating one. As i think this is a stumbling block that will keep coming up without one. Warburton1368 (talk) 21:54, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
Think were both having a bad day. You fixed my mistake and i fixed yours. Whats your opinion do we really need the total along the bottom i personally think one total column is enough. Warburton1368 (talk) 21:29, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
It will be all articles although i suspect it will be a very gradual process. I will take a good run at it as soon as i can get an admin to activate the template banner. Ive had a request in for the last three days but no admin has looked at it. Im hoping it will be all ready to roll after the weekend. Might need a bit more work though. Where we go from there will depend on what we decide should be the main aims of the force. Warburton1368 (talk) 22:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I've sorted it out for you, mainly grammar and wording. Cheers, GiantSnowman 13:46, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi sorry been very busy with not much time as nobody replied to my bot request i have spent the last three days tagging articles with Scotland=yes tagged just under 2 thousand so far with loads more to do. To be honest the whole class scale to me isn't so important at the moment. In my personal opinion i would class them as start however i believe the majority are classed as stubs. Feel free to change if you wish. Warburton1368 (talk) 20:43, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
I have decided to take a break from wiki for a few days as I really don't need it. Anyway thanks for being nice. Most of the main things are tagged haven't done non international players although someone has tagged a few of them but mostly they arrent done. Thanks. Warburton1368 (talk) 10:23, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
This is to inform you that you have been listed as an involved party in a request for dispute resolution made at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Wikipedia:WikiProject Football.2FFully professional leagues.2C Ayr United F.C.. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:28, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
HI thanks for tagging some more articles appreciate it thats us at 3,812 articles tagged which is good going. I replied to your entry on the talk page re scottish national manager importance level sorry its a bit late. Warburton1368 (talk) 23:45, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
No problems, I think if we follow/copy the layout of WP:FOOTY (after all, they are our parent project) then it'll be fine. If/when I have time I'll change the rest of the layout to match it, unless anyone else beats me to it! Also thanks for sorting out Obi's stats, was meaning to do that at some point today. Cheers, GiantSnowman 15:22, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Ooh, sorry, images is one of my week points - as a new & inexperienced editor I think I had a go at uploading some pictures, and they all got deleted, which has put me off ever since! For more information, have a read of Wikipedia:Upload - if it meets the 'free content' specifications as outlined there, then I think you upload to Commons. Cheers, GiantSnowman 23:34, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Oh okay. I almost forget that. Thanks! tatasport my talk 12:07, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
That's annoying will take a look at improving then when I'm back at a computer later. I had held off creating them as the sources are conflicting on various things some even date of birth. Falkirk haven't created profiles of any of there squad and as they all came from the youth squads there hardly any sound sources. Will just create any other ones I have and improve then when Falkirk get there act together. Warburton1368 (talk) 20:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Dont know if you have noticed but soccerbase is terrible for first division players ive sent off three emails about players with wrong stats. Warburton1368 (talk) 22:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Ill have a look at fixing them later tonight just trying to complete livi season article for last season. Can i ask are you planning on creating more season articles for second division. Only asking because i am planning on creating stirling albion article tomorrow just dont want to end up having two articles. Warburton1368 (talk) 18:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Thats them improved. Could do with further expansion but not much info available on them yet.Warburton1368 (talk) 21:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Ill start creating them. Thanks for letting me know about the falkirk squad profiles. Some of them are wrong so appreciate that. Warburton1368 (talk) 14:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I get those occasionally, no idea how to rectify them I'm afraid. I'd advise you to inquire over at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)], to see if there is a solution, as yours seem to be much worse than mine! Cheers, GiantSnowman 17:57, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Is the Fife cup essentially a friendly tournament or is it a proper cup. Struggling to find out much about it. Dunfermline are playing Raith rovers tonight don't know whether to create a new section for it or list under friendlies. Warburton1368 (talk) 18:35, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
For the creation of this new article for the former Queen of the South player from the 1950s, I do have information from a friend of mine about his football career details but I have no idea how to create a wiki page from scratch.
I have him listed under our Scottish Football Task Force - Articles to be created.
Could I list Greenock's career information that I have on here in a message and could you create the page for me at all?
Here is all the information for him:
James "Jimmy" Greenock
Born in Motherwell. Signed for Queen of the South from Wishaw Juniors in July 1951.
League Season / Appearances / Goals 1951-52 26 0 1952-53 29 5 1953-54 30 3 1954-55 22 2 1955-56 0 0 1956-57 25 1 1957-58 32 1 1958-59 24 1
He was 8 seasons at Queen of the South (including his season injured 1955-56). Played in the Number 6 shirt for Queens (the old left half position). Queens were playing the the old Scottish Division One during the 1950s.
Played from 1951-59 in 236 League, League Cup and Scottish Cup matches, scoring 15 goals (3 goals in the League Cup and zero in the Scottish Cup).
1955-56 season did not play due to a bad injury.
League Cup Goals
1 versus Rangers, lost 5-2 at Ibrox Park - Season 1951-52 1 versus Motherwell, lost 2-1 at Fir Park - Season 1957-58 1 versus Motherwell, lost 2-1 at Palmerson Park - Season 1958-59
Greenock played in 48 League and Scottish Cup matches between 1951-59
Queen of the South terminated his contract at the end of the 1958-59 season and he went to play in the USA and played for the Polish Falcons in the US Soccer League.
Just to say im going to be on holiday from tomorrow night. I was wondering if you are around if you would be willing to update the season articles from the midweek cup games and the league games next weekend. If not then its ok ill do it when i come back. Thanks Warburton1368 (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. Firstly, thanks for all the hard work put into Scottish football articles on the site thus far, keep it up. However, I suggest you read this article before correcting any further grammatical "issues" on said articles - namely, clubs are plural 90% of the time, so "Aberdeen have", not "Aberdeen has". Thanks! — Joseph Fox 04:21, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Yeah although would be a big job to start with. Not so much the spl ones as i have done them before but the SFL could be tricky as soccerbase and soccerway sometimes miss matches. But definitely up for helping. Edinburgh Wanderer 19:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
Dear DUCKISJAMMMY, hello. I would rather Filip Mentel wasn't deleted as I think despite him not meeting our WP:nfootball, his being at Man City, playing for U17 U21 for Slovakia, and at Clyde [[4]] would seem to indicate enough for us to want to perhaps keep the article on him. A look at Slovakia national under-21 football team would seem to me to make it a bit of a shame to add another red link there. There is no mention there that his dad is the U21 gk coach! But if you really want it deleting I think you would probably win an Afd. So I'll leave it in your court. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 20:26, 30 September 2011 (UTC))
