message: Please note that there is a Bowdlerism contained within one of the quotes used in the article. This is part of the newspaper article sourced, not the Wikipedia article, and there is no indication as to what the word should actually be. Guesswork will not suffice, so the Bowdlerism remains. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 21:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bowdlerism

message: After reading the intro paragraph, I have no idea why this guy is notable. What has he done, other than be a referee, PE teacher, and self-employed consultant? What's the event that got him into Wikipedia? That needs to be in the intro paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philip Taron (talk • contribs) 15:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Er...he has been a referee. Or were you not aware that WikiProject Football has set standards of notability for football (soccer) officials? If you disagree with his notability, you are free to take Matt Messias to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. I would not hold out too much hope of you getting it deleted though. Thanks.

replies: text: Hey, I'm an inclusionist. Sum total of the world's knowledge and all that. It's just--give a hook to keep reading. That some person has been a referee is not, in and of itself, interesting. Tell me something about him--the cocktail party story that sums up the life! (I'd do it myself, but I know nothing about football soccer.) Philip (Respond?) 06:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia's an encyclopedia, not a periodical magazine. Articles don't score points off each other by the length of time each reader spends reading them. If people are interested in football referees in general, they will probably scan the whole page as a matter of course. I appreciate your view, but to be honest it's not the highest priority for an article writer, I would say. Thanks for your interest anyway. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 11:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
