[edit] Redirect

Shouldn't we put a redriect on "Crewe Alex" to this article? As this is the short name for the team. --Skully Collins 18:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance scale

I've put the article at mid importance. With all due respect, this club was the first to get a serious youth program and has produced many names that have established themselves at the highest level, most notably David Platt (England captain), Dean Ashton, Seth Johnson, Danny Murphy, etc/ Anyway, I'd like to hear your comments as well.--Skully Collins Edits 14:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Crewe Alexadria badge.gif

Image:Crewe Alexadria badge.gif is being used on this article. 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.

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 insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 20:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who to list as manager when the club do not use that title?

Crewe having abandoned the traditional job descriptions of English football, wiki editors are at a loss as to what to put in infoboxes and on pages like List of English Football League managers by date of appointment‎. From the little I have read, this comment from the chairman comes closest to answering the question, in favour of Gradi retaining the title, but editors closer to Crewe might have other citations. I have no particular interest in which of Holland and Gradi is named, but am seeking consistency across wiki pages. Kevin McE 19:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pies

Do we really need a paragraph on who supplies the club's pies, and what flavours are available? There has been a paragraph on it before, which was deleted, and now another has been added. Comments? glennb28 tc 08:00, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted the paragraph as it seems too insignificant to be retained. Even if it was not insignificant, it was unverified.  DDStretch  (talk) 09:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
