Thanks for the kind words



and hello. I'd like to continue the series, but my free online access to local newspapers including the Birm Post only goes up to 1900, so that's when I stopped. Without the local detail, they'd end up just a list of mini match reports, which would bore me writing them and doubtless bore the readers as well. Don't know enough about the finances to tell what effect the new ground had, but I'd suspect a combination of factors. Certainly the attendances didn't really go up as they might have hoped. They'd been over-reliant on Billy Jones ↗'s goals, and he had injuries in 1908, which probably led to the relegation. But then Alf Jones ↗ stepped down as secretary/manager, which really can't have helped, and deciding Billy Jones was finished and letting him go without bringing in any adequate replacement just compounded their inability to score goals. Nothing changes... cheers, and thanks again for the barnstar. Struway2 (talk) 21:22, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Conway Brothers ↗

A tag has been placed on :Conway Brothers ↗ 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Conway+Brothers|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --> Mr Xaero (talk) 20:52, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Colchester Town F.C. ↗


Thanks for your addition to this article. Just to double check, you added a line that said the club "In 1876 the club resolved to change to rugby union rules, but played under either code for a season". Instead of "either code", did you mean "both codes"? I took it to be the latter and have edited for clarity, but just wanted to double check.

:Yes - I stumbled on that meeting when looking for someone else so made a quick correction with the view to going back at some later point to see when they changed back. The Alcock yearbook makes clear they did play both codes for at least a season. In Vitrio (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Higher Walton F.C. ↗ moved to draftspace



An article you recently created, Higher Walton F.C. ↗, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable ↗, independent sources ↗. <small>(? ↗)</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability ↗ is of central importance ↗ on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace ↗ (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

June 2022



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into :Higher Walton F.C. ↗. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 02:05, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

1886 Scottish Cup Final



Hello,

Thank you for adding the match report details to the 1886 Scottish Cup Final ↗ article, it is much appreciated. I noticed though the note you've added about the third goal, the way you've phrased it sounds a bit like original research ↗. I take it one of the sources credits the goal to Sommerville? If so, could we phrase the note for the third goal the same way as the note for the first goal? I would hate for someone to change it after all the hard work you've put in to the wrong scorer.

Also, a wee tip. I'd noticed you'd added a score with a hyphen rather than an ndash (–). The style for things like scores and date ranges is to use the ndash, there's more information on it at MOS:DATERANGE ↗ and MOS:SCORES ↗.

Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 21:15, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

:Cheers, I will have to work out how to type an ndash. It looks good "as is". The third goal is a mystery, nobody seems to agree on it (perhaps suggesting it was a total shemozzle). The Glasgow Herald reckons Somerville finished it off, although I wonder if they got it mixed up with the second. Shame they didn't have VAR then... In Vitrio (talk) 21:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

::If only haha. There is a shortcut to type an ndash if you use the text editor (I don't know if it also exists in the visual editor). Just underneath the text field on the lefthand side (above where it says "Edit summary"), you'll see a dropdown menu with "Insert" displayed, if you click on the first box to the right of that (which has – symbol, an ndash, in the middle of it) it will insert an ndash where you are typing. I'd screenshot it for you but I.m not sure how to upload to it. Hope that helps anyway. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

List of Scottish Cup entrants



Hey, I hope you are well. Following on from the Lancelot discussion and this discussion ↗, I thought it might be an idea to create a list of Scottish Cup entrants who don't currently have a Wikipedia article and, with the limited amount of information available on some, may never have an article. That would hopefully mean readers are still able to find out about these teams and their place in Wikipedia is rightly preserved. I have started a draft at Draft:List of Scottish Cup and Scottish Qualifying Cup entrants ↗. As you're also interested in 19th century football, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts.

:::Not at the moment, motor racing is another interest so perhaps something about early Grand Prix drivers. But there are many who will be more willing/able to do that, I'm not sure how many people would want to fight the corner of, say, Vale of Leven Wanderers. Part of the hope though is that someone out there will suddenly spot the name, or google it because Great-Uncle Bob played for them, or a local historian will have a lot of info without having any other obvious outlet. In Vitrio (talk) 14:04, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
::::Sounds good (I like motor racing as well). If any consolation, I was surprised to see that Astley Bridge ↗ and Rawtenstall ↗ (two prominent opponents of Burnley during their early years) now had articles and thus wikilinks when I revisited History of Burnley F.C. ↗. It's just great that we, as readers, are now able to form a more extensive view of these kind of clubs. Eem dik doun in toene (talk) 09:01, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
:::::The big reveal on that research for me was why Blackburn Rovers won 3 FA Cups in the 1880s - they'd been cheating the rules on professionalism for so long that their players all met the residence criteria that were brought into the Cup regs as a quid pro quo for allowing professionalism. Whereas Burnley and Accrington (and some other clubs) had to field reserves because their new professionals were not yet eligible for the Cup. So Rovers, Villa, Preston, and West Brom had basically an open route. I don't think I've read that anywhere in the standard history books. In Vitrio (talk) 09:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Glasgow United YMCA A.C. ↗


left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Glasgow United YMCA A.C. ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Fails GNG and ORG. Sources in the article are listings, mentions, primary, nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. BEFORE showed routine news items. It existed but it is not notable.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <span style="font-family:Courier;"><b>&nbsp;//&nbsp;Timothy&nbsp;::&nbsp;talk&nbsp;</b></span> 20:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted



right|80px ↗
Hi In Vitrio, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">added ↗</span> the autopatrolled user right ↗ to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed ↗. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested ↗ on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers ↗.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject ↗ templates, stub tags ↗, categories ↗, and incoming links ↗ to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies ↗, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller ↗ yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 03:10, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Copy/paste moving


25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove --> Natg 19 (talk) 17:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

:The pictures on those sites have the record labels, which record the personnel on the track. Also the newspaper article I linked mentions them. Not sure what's wrong with the TOTP link, I picked the BBC one from the several available as it seemed most authoritative.

Small Heath kit



Hello. Noticed you changed the sash colour from white to yellow, as per the March 1956 Birmingham Mail. Are there other sources you're aware of that support the idea of yellow, in particular anything explicit from the 1870s/80s, or a more recent piece with explanation of ''why'' it was wrongly thought to have been white? I don't really think a single mention in that rather poetic piece is strong enough on its own to override the established sources - you'd think it might have been picked up on in the 69 years since if there was anything in it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:09, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:The only sources I know for the sash itself are that mention in the Mail and the Norman Edwards 1956 book which depicts it (in part) in one picture. I'm not sure there are any sources which mention it as being white though - it's inference from that drawing.
:If you want a real spanner in the works...I have found a reference to the sash being '''red''' (on dark blue shirts) in 1884. (Bucks Free Press, 15 Feb 1884, report of a match with Marlow here ↗). Whatever one makes of that (change? Doubt it as there would not have been THAT much of a clash, Marlow wearing blue and white hoops) it suggests that any sash was not white...
:Oddly it makes sense for yellow - makes it a rough depiction of the first and fourth quarters of the City of Birmingham shield. Although having a sash was surely to differentiate from the other blue/navy-wearing sides at the time. In Vitrio (talk) 18:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
