message: Within an hour of this page being loosened from fully-protected, our friendly local vandal is back, changing Jon McCarthy's nationality. Same method of operation as before, brand new account, two words, no other meaningful contributions. Time obviously hasn't healed his/her gripe. - fchd 21:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are more than welcome to discuss their changes here.. I won't block them if they try that. I have no interest in football or soccer, whatever you would like to call it, and I am merely blocking them as they are disrupting the page without even bothering to realize that their claim is controversial. Please put requested changes here. Cowman109Talk 23:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If someone would like to make a more complicated change to the article that can't be solved with a simple request, you could also create a subpage in your userspace copying the article, and I can history merge the changes here without much hassle. Thanks. Cowman109Talk 23:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

text: And every time you create another sock account to change it, someone will correct it. You're wasting yours and everyone else's time. For footballing purposes, once he represented N Ireland, he is treated as N Irish. Live with it. - fchd 21:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Your argument could be a lot more convincing if you'd stop blatantly breaking Wikipedia policy with your sockpuppet army and just stayed with one account and stopped to explain further instead of just using socks to get what you'd like. If you stop disrupting the page and instead talk here, I won't block you. You may very well have a valid argument, but you're not helping yourself this way. Cowman109Talk 00:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Indeed. The only thing that makes this person notable is football, therefore it is his "football nationality" that is relevant - therefore Northern Ireland. It's just a shame that it's taking the time of several of us to counter the actions of a single misguided vandal. He/she knows it's going to be reverted every time, yet still changes it at the first opportunity. - fchd 06:09, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release from protection 

message: Semi-protection is pointless,the vandal will continue his behavior as he has obviously saved up accounts.  S-P just means that anons can't revert and I for one am not prepared to have my home page attacked like others have been.  J McC will be leaving soon anyway.

message: The club's official website  doesn't work at the moment but please see the Google cache of a relevant page on the club's website  and a government link showing the club's address . The stadium has been renamed due to a sponsorship deal with Marston's (brewer and pub operator). Please will you rename the Victoria Stadium page as Marston's Arena and perhaps include the previous name in the article. Thanks. 90.200.149.127 (talk) 00:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  Please establish consensus for this change. Happy‑melon 15:12, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should still be mentioned, as on the club's website it only says "Marston's Arena" and does not mention "Victoria Stadium".  Also the capacity is more than what it says in the article (or on the article about the stadium) however there is a mistake on the club's website as the seated and standing capacities add up to 10 less than the total.  There is direct link to the page on the club's website, as it is in Flash not HTML, but it can be accessed by going to http://www.northwichvics.co.uk/ and clicking "fixtures" then "travel" and scrolling down. --Snigbrook (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

text: Now that I have seen the relevant discussion, I think "Marston's Arena" should only be referred to as an alternative, sponsored name in the text, and the original name used in the infobox; as media coverage shows both names are used, and the stadium opened before being renamed.  This would be consistent with other articles, although the one exception I can find, where the stadium's sponsored name is used despite the stadium having been in use for many years under its previous name, is a Featured Article (York City F.C.) and the article about the stadium (KitKat Crescent) is a Good Article. --Snigbrook (talk) 01:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Players on Loan from Charlton 

message: The "Current players" and "Famous former players" need updating.  I have combined these, adding an "on loan" section which is now needed, to create a "players" section at User:Snigbrook/Sandbox with the updated information.  I have used FootballSquads.co.uk as a reference, combined with recent news.
There is one thing I'm not sure about: FootballSquads.co.uk has been updated recently (November 2008 or later), but still includes Mark King in the squad, and according to the reference he left in September 2008. —Snigbrook 17:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Request for additional citations template to be removed

message: A short section about the breakaway club, 1874 Northwich FC, has been added back to this article, based on the wording (and news sources) in the 1874 Northwich FC article. The article was raised at Articles for Deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1874 Northwich FC and the decision was to merge to Northwich Victoria F.C.
I was unsure where to add the addition. There was previously a mention in the 'History' section but, because the new club is not part of Northwich Victoria (though related via the supporters club) I've merged it further down the article, nearer to 'Rivalries'. Hope that makes sense to some people! Sionk (talk) 00:22, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: 1874 Northwich FC

message: Can I make the heretical suggestion that this article contains immense and probably not-notable detail for a club which had only two Football League seasons, over 100 years ago?  Yes it is one of the oldest football clubs still in existence, but that is (justifiably) stated early on.  There are more notable English clubs with much scantier details, which might better repay some improvement work.  Or is there just a large contingent of NVFC fans on Wikipedia?
