Per WP:BLPCAT we should not be introducing a category for which there is no evidence to articles on living people. --John (talk) 19:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Without reference to the article you're referring to, I am unable to provide such evidence. Hmlarson (talk) 19:16, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right. I've undone your category edits. Please don't make any more without providing evidence that the categories are correct. --John (talk) 19:18, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you've reverted edits that are not even related to the addition of this category. All category tags that I've added can be verified via a basic Google search. Hmlarson (talk) 19:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then I suggest making that basic Google search, using it to find sources, adding them to the body of the article, and then and only then adding the category back. --John (talk) 19:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, should I add this to this page as well? I find your tactics heavy-handed and an abuse of admin privileges per WP:ADMINACCT. Hmlarson (talk) 19:28, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick "heads up". Please do not re-add Joni Mitchell to the category of feminist musicians. I removed the category from her page last week and noted in the edit summary that she spoke at some length in new interview explaining why she does not consider herself a feminist.

Could you help to edit a photo in the Brian's article. It's too big and bothering the infobox view. I've tried to edit it, but I'm not an expert. Thanks for your help.--SirEdimon (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I reduced the size of the photo and floated left. I ended up expanding the content a bit, too. Any thoughts? Hmlarson (talk) 21:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I loved it. It's awesome. Pretty good. Thank you.--SirEdimon (talk) 23:39, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please retract your accusation/personal atack. GiantSnowman 08:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What accusation / personal attack? Hmlarson (talk) 16:05, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your slur of "deletionist". GiantSnowman 08:50, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're up to the same old, same old again, GS. Welcome back! Hmlarson (talk) 16:30, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Up to what? And again, please remove your slur. GiantSnowman 16:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how the template pulls data, but can you correct Kristina Larsen's birthdate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristina_Larsen_%28soccer%29) ? The correct date is June 16th, not April 6th. 76.118.47.91 (talk) 04:15, 30 June 2013 (UTC) thanks![reply]

Sure thing. Thanks for the heads up. Hmlarson (talk) 05:58, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contributed to AfD "Keep". Sorry my internet connection being 3rd world right now. To do even that took me 20 mins and about 8 submits. Will have another go tomorrow. David_FLXD (Talk) 19:30, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sharing your input. re: NPOV, can you let me know which parts in particular? Is it the "disappointed" description or something else? I have a new request for peer review for the Abby Wambach article if you have time to review. Would like to improve and nominate it as a featured article. Any feedback you can provide is much appreciated. Thanks again. Hmlarson (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What I can remember is "played every minute of"; I will have a look when connection better. On my 3G tablet now because the adsl has gone belly up this a.m., trust temporarily. Happy to see a keep close on AfD. That NFOOTBALL needs serious revision. But I don't see where I will have time to do anything about it. Will get back to you on both pages, I can promise within a week as I know I will be back at a decent connection Sun evening. Regards, David_FLXD (Talk) 07:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, on this page mostly just little issues:

• Opening para should include a short, solidly substantiated statement on why she is notable. eg. "she has been recognised as "one of the two best" " with two independent sources would work, or else note one or two career highlights so far, eg. UEFA recognition as one of the top ten in Europe in 2009 or 11 national caps at u/23.
• Club career, para 2, yes, cut "a disappointed".
• Club career, para 3: to me, "collected her first league winner's medal" is too informal and too presumptious, sounding as if she is expected to collect many more (but it is too soon for this to have happened yet). Yes, she probably is expected to collect many more, but it is difficult to express that in a neutral encyclopaedic tone. Also, the medals are really credited to the team, are they not? (I know the winning players each get one, but it is because the team has won, so I feel that it is inappropriate to isolate one player as having won a medal. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.)
• International career, para 1: "played every minute of Sweden's campaign" is too partisan and therefore not adequately neutral in tone; "played all the matches of Sweden's campaign" would be better but could still be improved upon.

That's all I can suggest for now. Imo your sources are more than adequate for the content. David_FLXD (Talk) 20:17, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 8 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Emilia Appelqvist, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Emilia Appelqvist was the captain of the Swedish team at the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Emilia Appelqvist. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

As per your request above:

In Early life:

• I think "Wambach attended Our Lady of Mercy High School in Rochester, New York, where she lettered in soccer and basketball" needs to have the years specified; it is a little difficult to figure out, for example, how far through high school she was when she scored 34 goals in 1997. (Maybe this is more true for non-US readers; our South African high schoolers finish at anything from 17 to 20 years old, usually with grade 12).
• "national Player of the Year" does this include both genders? Or is it understood that a woman player is selected only from among woman players?

In Club career:

• para 1: "second overall draft pick" is not something I can read and fully understand, again maybe because I am not American! But I suspect many other international readers might struggle with this sort of jargony phrase which relates to US practice.

In International career:

• para 1: "arch-rival" seems too informal, too "newsy". How about "strong rival / close rival / or just group rival? main rival?
• 2007 FIFA WWC: Wambach received 11 stitches in her head during the first match?
• 2008 Summer Olympics:"Wambach was the team's leading scorer at the time and had just reached 99 goals, just one shy of becoming the fifth U.S. player and ninth female player in world history to notch 100 career international goals. Wambach's 100th goal was scored during a friendly match against Canada in her hometown of Rochester on July 19, 2009. She reached 100 goals in fewer games than any of the four other American players who had previously reached 100 goals: (Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Michelle Akers and Tiffeny Milbrett)"
  • I think this has too much duplication between "nearly 100" and the actual 100th goal. I suggest this: "Wambach was the team's leading goal scorer at this time, and her 100th career international goal was scored during a friendly match against Canada in her hometown of Rochester on July 19, 2009. She was the fifth U.S. player to notch 100 international goals, but did so in fewer games than any of the earlier four: (names)." If she was 10th or better in the world, say so, otherwise just leave it out.

It is now late, late, late and I am going to bed. I trust these comments are helpful, please ignore anything you don't agree with, I promise not to get all huffy! If you do tend to agree, look for similar instances, I don't know if I got everything. Regards, David_FLXD (Talk) 20:50, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
