[edit] Foundation

"and claims to have been formed in 1863 (disputed by some, who claim it to be 1868)". Can anyone specify this and give facts on this topic? I do not want to make a wrong statement on Chesterfield being the fourth-oldest club in English football history. Regards --Vince2004 16:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Some links -
  • Stoke City's website [1] (I don't think you have to register for this page, but I'd need to unregister to check...)
  • The Oatcake, a very long-running and well-respected fanzine [2]
I'm sure there are plenty more, but these are the ones that I personally have read (I didn't write that bit of the article, btw).Didsbury ryder 22:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] squad template

Could somebody who knows about the team make a squad template? Guidelines can be found here SenorKristobbal 09:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stoke.png

Image:Stoke.png 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

I have now improved the Fair Use Rationale for the image, specifically for use in this article (with link). --Jameboy 21:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potters

Why did The Potters (a band, I do believe) redirect me here? Basketball110 21:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Because The Potters is the common nickname for Stoke City.Regan123 (talk) 23:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
