# Talk:Scott Brown (footballer, born June 1985)

Could Hearts supporters please desist from editing pages relating to Hibs, and vice versa?212.113.23.124 09:08, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Why not call this page Scott Brown (Scottish footballer) and the other Scott Brown page, Scott Brown (footballer born May 1985), Scott Brown (English footballer), it makes a lot more sense than the names just now. AndTheCrowdGoesWild 00:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

In the Style of play section, the direct quote marked in blue quotation marks has the normal sized quotation mark at one end with no quotation mark anywhere in that part of the section. Therefore, it should either be removed or have the beginning quotation mark inserted, the former statement seems more likely. 86.169.53.193 (talk) 09:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

I have removed the unnecessary small quotation mark. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:28, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Cheers @Jmorrison230582:. Marking it as  Done. 86.169.53.193 (talk) 12:14, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Could protecting be considered for this, it only takes a minute of looking at the revisions to see the nonsense being added and reverted on a daily basis. It doesn't look like he's retiring any time soon, so his article will continue to attract this kind of attention. Should I suggest it on WP:FOOTY? Crowsus (talk) 09:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

@Crowsus: - Were you talking about this "Lego Muncher" vandalism which I have noticed occasionally? - Iggy (Swan) 22:00, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
@Iggy the Swan: Yup, just the standard lazy 'banter' remarks that constantly get added to articles of players who provoke a bit of attention. For Celtic it's Brown and Leigh Griffiths at present. As you'll know, every club has a couple of 'target' players and all their rivals have a set of boring insults to throw at them. It (the vandalism) has calmed down slightly over the summer but will probably return as the season gets underway. Crowsus (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
@Crowsus: - haven't noticed any of the same vandalism from Brown that has also been edited on Leigh Griffiths, seems to be other types. Iggy (Swan) 09:35, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Oh yes, certainly its not the same 'theme', just that he is the other current player (out of the Celtic pages I watch, which is only about 8 of them to be fair) that gets constantly vandalised. But Lego munching is exclusively reserved to Brown. Crowsus (talk) 10:14, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
I came here to suggest just this, given I just made it autoconfirmed for a month after this week's burst ... shall I give it six months? - David Gerard (talk) 14:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, up to you really, it would likely have a spike of 'interest' this week with an Old Firm cup final coming up but then would probably drop off a bit again. Crowsus (talk) 14:43, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
ehh I'll leave it for now then :-) nah, I'll make it 3 months, can revisit if trouble starts again then - David Gerard (talk) 15:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Ok, that should do for now but if we have vandalism of this type again which has been going on longer than I'd been on here under my username, the protection log is now long and should be protected indefinitely or at least a year.

Change “8 successive championships” to “9 successive championships”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52646282 2A02:C7D:482A:B000:F11F:AFEC:B62B:B477 (talk) 20:13, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

 Done The source doesn't explicitly mention him, but that the club won 9 successive championships and that he was captain is verifiable so this isn't OR by any standard, and anyway this is a valid compromise and a better wording to keep the lead concise.

Change Celtic football clubs to Celtic Football Club's. Charlie Techniques338 (talk) 21:07, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

While you're correct grammatically, the sentence didn't belong in the article at all and has been removed since no source was provided. See WP:V and WP:RS. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 22:32, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Scott brown has played 577 games for Celtic.

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Opal|zukor(discuss) 07:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

This page has been the target of vandalism shortly after the previous protection expired. I would think this article has been targeted long enough for this to have long-term protection against vandalism. Per page history, it has had the boring lego muncher vandalism for years and this year another type of vandalism has surfaced, claiming his name has been changed. Thoughts on this? Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 14:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Page protection is on it's way. It's no good for a good article like this one to be constantly vandalised on a month to month basis. We'll see what happens when someone sees my protection request. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:47, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Change Aberdeen goals (0) to Aberdeen goals (1) 157.231.15.89 (talk) 11:20, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

 Already done. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 06:23, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

In the paragraph:
“ During Brown's time at Celtic, the club has won ten Scottish championships, five Scottish Cups, and six Scottish League Cups.”
It should be six Scottish Cups, not five. Also, “has” can be removed as it is now past tense, as Brown has left the club. 2A02:C7F:D34:9800:E531:BB8F:A9D6:A97B (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
