[edit] UK economy

Hi! In the future, please allow some time for a discussion on the talk page before you decide to remove sourced content. That is not to say that your point isn't good, far from it, but removing sourced content, especially when the source is very reliable and backed up by secondary sources, may be considered vandalism. In this case, I don't consider your edit vandalism but I do wish you would have allowed people the time to answer on the talk page before deciding to delete both the content and the source. Cheers JdeJ (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UK GDP

Just a note that user:JdeJ is fiercely pro-French and is on a mission to ensure France's economy is seen as larger than the UK's. Signsolid (talk) 22:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC) Signsolid (talk) 22:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, my fiercely pro-French bias can be seen from my edit history. Almost 4% of my edits deal with topics related to France. The other 96%, well. Honestly though, Signsolid continues to attack me and stalk me from page to page. I've reported him for harassment. JdeJ (talk) 22:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Football in Sheffield

Yeah, I was thinking that it was time that we tried to get another Wednesday article featured. Maybe Hillsborough or History of Sheffield Wednesday F.C.? Both might be quite a bit of work though. What do you reckon our chances of getting Sheffield Rules featured are? I must admit I'm far from an expert on the subject, but it's an article that I feel deserves a bit more limelight... Dan1980 (talk | stalk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I think you're right about the history article, there's a lot of work there. I might have a crack at expanding it at the end of February though - I'm having an operation and will be off work for two weeks, so if I'm feeling up to it I can have a Wikipedia marathon!
The Sheff football taskforce sounds like a good idea, or maybe even a dedicated Sheff Football Wikiproject. Our Wikiproject has been neglected for months now and as you say it can only help the other Sheffield football related articles if we work with the Blades editors. Where's the discussion on it - I haven't seen it? Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 22:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on United Kingdom. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Gwernol 21:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Peer review/Sheffield Rules/archive1

I've added some comments for you at the peer review. Feel free to get in touch with me if you need any help. All the best! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Josh,
I've just had another quick look over Sheffield Rules (it's looking fantastic by the way) and I reckon that there are quite a few statements in it that will require citations if we are to go for FA status. I'm probably not going to be much use at finding sources for them, but if you want I could add {{fact}} to the ones that I think need to be cited and leave the rest to you.
As the subject is quite old and not very well known to the casual reader, I think that there will probably be quite a lot to be honest.
Let me know what you think, I don't mind going through the entire article and tagging statements with {{fact}} for you if you want.
Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 00:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've gone through the entire article and copyedited it and added {{fact}} tags where I think that citations are needed. I have tried to be as strict as possible as I'm sure that will be the case if we go for FA with this, but if you think that I have been too harsh and that a statement is covered by a nearby citaion then feel free to just remove the tag - it's not easy for me to tell as I don't have all of the books to hand. Also, I'm not sure what the convention is when adding inline citations that cover several statements in the same paragraph, but it appears that some of them are given after the first statement and some after the final statement. In my opinion it would be better if there was a uniform way of citing multiple statements (probably after the final statement in the paragraph), and I'm sure that consensus must already exist somewhere for this.
I've also added a couple of comments to the peer review. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 14:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Updated DYK query On 1 February 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Billy Mosforth, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

--Archtransit (talk) 20:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Mosforth

I see that you recently created this article. There is already an article about the same person at William Mosforth, so the two articles will need to be merged. Your article is more complete, so can I suggest that you incorporate anything in the William Mosforth article and then make this a redirect? Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:54, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hillsborough Stadium#Records

I've added this section to the article (I shamelessly ripped off the format from Priestfield Stadium, although I've expanded upon it a bit). If you could have a quick look at it and maybe copyedit it, that would be great. There are also a few citations missing, I don't know if you could help out with them...

Finally, I could not find the record League attendance anywhere, which should really be in there too - any ideas? Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 11:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WPSWFC

Hi Josh,

I've finally set up the Wikiproject for Version 1.0 assessment and put some guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sheffield Wednesday/Assessment.

Please let me know what you think of the page. Also if you could tag any articles you come across for quality and importance that would be great.

By the way, I notice you've added a watchlist to the project. How does that work? Does it automatically add any pages tagged with {{WPSWFC}}?

Cheers, Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 23:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I've been busy tagging articles, so the number of pages tagged with {{WPSWFC}} has more than doubled. It's probably worth running the script to update the watchlist again. I think that I have tagged all of the existing articles on SWFC players and managers now, so we should have all existing SWFC related articles covered.

[edit] Cup final articles

Hi Josh,

I notice that you've rated the SWFC related cup final articles as Low importance. I was holding off rating them as they don't fit nicely in to the SWFC specific guidelines that I drew up at WPSWFC, however as they've been rated as Mid importance by WP:FOOTY, don't you think that we should upgrade them to Mid or High importance in that they at least "fill in more minor details" and probably "contribute a depth of knowledge" rather than being "mainly of specialist interest"? Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 21:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Whilst I'm on the assessment subject, what are your thoughts on current players. Should these be regarded as more important than previous players bearing in mind that they are likely to have played less than 50 games? Should there be a minimum importance for permanent members of the current squad, e.g. at least Mid or High importance?
Also, what about the other related articles such as Sheffield Rules? Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 21:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Project watchlist}}

Hi, I just spotted this and wondered if it would be possible to use this to create watchlists for projects other than Sheffield and if there was any limit on the number of articles that it can process. Keith D (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for setting up the bot. Does it run on a schedule basis or is it manually invoked?
There is a minor problem with the script with non-ascii characters as in Brontë Country which is output to the list as [[Bront� Country]] Keith D (talk) 20:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to set up JoshurBot to create watchlists for WikiProject Louisville and WikiProject Kentucky? We were already using WatchlistBot to create these previously, but it went out of service. The watchlist files currently used are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville/Watchall and Wikipedia:WikiProject Kentucky/Watchall -- {{Project watchlist}} could be set up in these if that's how it's supposed to work. By the way, how frequently is JoshurBot run? Thanks! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 19:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for creating watchlists for these projects. However, there are a couple of issues: 1) The talk pages for articles are missing (we would like to track them too); and 2) Only the talk pages for categories, images, portal, etc. are listed and not the regular pages themselves. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sheffield Rules

Hi Josh,

I've just got back online after over a week without any internet connection and I notice that Sheffield Rules didn't make FA. Any idea why? I notice that it didn't attract any opposition and that no reason was given for why it failed FAC. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 15:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing that there must be some sort of minimum requirement for the number of supports that a FAC should receive to pass regardless of whether or not it is opposed. It's a real shame if that's the only reason they failed it. Might be worth drumming up some support on WT:FOOTY after the new FAC has been on for a while. The bot thing sounds like a great idea too, although that said, I did list the FAC on WP:FOOTY anyway. Dan1980 (talk ♦ stalk) 19:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Project watchlist}}

Hey, I noticed the default syntax at the top which lets the user know the page is updated by bot has a bad link. An example is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ohio/watchlist. The click here leads to an invalid page. The problems seems to be with the subst:fullpagename. If I figure out what's wrong I'll let you know. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 20:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
