Did you make all the improvements that came out of the FA process for the article? I can't really tell from this archive at all. I'm going to fix up the referencing soon so that will be fine for another try at FA some time in the future. Actually, I can't really see why it was failed. Cheers. (PS: If you're into athletics too I've written up an article for Dwain Chambers which has a current peer review at the moment.) Sillyfolkboy (talk) 03:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Just out of interest: How did you read those russian links? I've not even got the right characters displaying! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 03:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've fixed up some of the references but couldn't do the the foreign language ones (Hablo Espanol y ksero Elliniki but not Dutch or Russian!). Please note that the links for all "Derby Evening Telegraph" citations are broken and redirect to the home page, not sure if they've been deleted which is a pain given how much they've been used. I've noted a dead telegraph link ("Kinkladze let's boots do talking") and google returns no replacement. Hope you can fix things back again. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 02:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I have a favour to ask... Last month at the Herbert Chapman peer review you mentioned you had some info about the incarnation of Rochdale that he played for. Is it possible you could create a stub about it for me? I would like to nominate the article for FAC soon and it's the only redlink in his infobox - I imagine the people looking over the article will point it out as a possible obstacle to FA status. It would be much appreciated if you could, thanks! Qwghlm (talk) 13:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, that's great, thanks! Qwghlm (talk) 00:22, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, saw you were making edits to the above page to bring them into line with some featured lists, and I was wondering if this was being done with the specific intention of promoting the article to featured list candidate. I'm not normally moved to participate in such endeavours myself, usually because I tend to lack the knowledge or ability to actually make an impact on the article quality, but in this case I'd be willing to lend my efforts as best I can. However, I recognise you as the much more able and experienced editor, and so if you had no direct intention of FL-ing this article, I'll reduce my efforts in this regard - largely because I have no idea what would be expected of myself and the article to pass a candidacy, and I tend to become overwhelmed when diving into projects which I then realise are too much for me, and shy away from them. To be honest, I've never been involved with an FA/FL candidacy before, and I'm rather intimidated at the thought of having one riding on my shoulders.

Anywho, just wondering what your plans are for the article. If you don't mind, then I'll follow where you lead. Falastur2 ^Talk 01:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I'm a user on the WSC board and wondered if you could login there and PM me (and let me know you've done it!)? I'm NHH on the WSC Board and need to chat to someone who really understands wikis for a project I'm starting at my work (which is football related). Dave
