Hei. Så at du oversatte artikkelen om landslaget, en artikkel som jeg tidligere hadde skrevet at jeg jobbet med oversettelsen på. Har egentlig ikke noe i mot at du gjorde det, men du kunne kanskje ha sagt ifra på "my talk"-sida~mi? =) Sindreman 16:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that you moved a page from Egil Johan Østenstad to Egil Østenstad. However, in the future, please use the 'move' tab for this, don't copy and paste the page. If you use the 'move' tab, it will restore the history of the page. For this to work, the page that you want to move it for, has to be new. If it already existed as a redirect, it has to be deleted first. The page is alright now, I've fixed it, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

OK, sorry about that. I would have used the "move" tab, but since both pages already existed I couldn't do that (I'm not an admin on en and hence can't delete pages). I merely switched the two pages since Egil Østenstad (without the middle name) is the most commonly used name. --Badmotorfinger 08:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Football AID 5 February - 11 February

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Bayern Munich has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

[edit] List of English Football League managers by date of appointment

Hi. I'm sorry but I've had to revert your use of the [[{{{1}}} F.C.|{{{1}}}]] template on List of English Football League managers by date of appointment. We're supposed to be phasing out the use of that template in preference of piped links. I can't for the life of me find the policy stuff but it's there somewhere. Anyway, I thought I better tell you why I reverted it seeing as you probably put a fair bit of work into it. Cheers, HornetMike 23:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Ayre

I'd be interested in knowing the source you used to fill in his missing playing stats. I couldn't find them for love nor money. - Dudesleeper · Talk 02:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. Looks like I might be adding that book to my collection. If you get a chance, do you mind checking if it has the birth details for George Farrow? </cheekiness> - Dudesleeper · Talk 14:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Excellent work. Thank you. - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:03, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing football club listing templates

Your edits, changing the clubs in the templates to the 2007-08 constitutions are worthy, but please do not mark them as "minor edits" as they definitely do affect the content contained within and are not just minor formatting etc. issues. - fchd 19:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, please use concise but explanatory edit summaries. This helps other users when looking at their Watchlist pages. - fchd 19:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unattached footballers

You really should have added a tag to this category when nominating it for deletion. I started the category, and have continually maintained it, but the first I knew of its nomination is now that the vote has been closed and it's been stripped from various pages. It would have been nice to have the opportunity to defend its presence. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 15:34, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No worries. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 17:28, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thulsa_Doom_Seats_album_cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Thulsa_Doom_Seats_album_cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 15:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
