Talk:Darron Gibson

message: Hi Peejay, 
With the greatest of respect it is not me that is being unconstructive. I have spent some time improving the Darron Gibson article while you have just come along and made minor adjustments that add nothing. All I am interested in doing is making better articles  but it is this sort of pedantic enforcement of MoS that ruins Wiki.
*Regarding flags. First of all I am not a big fan of using flags willy nilly  but I think that in this, and similar cases,  it is justified. It helps distinguish between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. You may know the difference between the two but not everybody else does. I only wish I had a pound for every time I saw a Wiki article were an Irish player was linked to the wrong national team.. It is not just a problem with Wiki. This    Man Utd site incorrectly refers to Gibson as an Northern Ireland U21 international. In addition I cannot find any particular guideline against using flags here.
*Regarding Wolves. The clubs own website is called    www.wolves.premiumtv.co.uk   and  it displays the word  Wolves prominently. So if the club use the name why can’t it be used in Wiki. Even the Wiki article on the club states that the club is well known by this name. Djln --Djln (talk) 17:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flags and Wolves 

message: *This is getting ridiculous. Can someone please explain why flags are allowed in some places and not in others.  The MoS guidelines are confusing and contradict each other and I don’t find them particularly helpful. The Darron Gibson article is now being vandalised by several editors, making petty and trivial changes that have undermined the quality of the article.  Some of the info, unrelated to flags, has been removed and when I tried to restore it I was  threatened with blocking. This is very disillusioning.  Why do so many editors have to be pedantic and resort to threats. Is there no room for civilised discussion.  This the ugly face of Wiki that destroys the fun. I will leave article as is for now. Hopefully in a few days thing will have cooled down and I can repair the damage. Djln --Djln (talk) 20:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Would someone be so kind as to clarify in the article whether Gibson is center midfield or a winger? I tried to settle a debate on this issue by checking Wikipedia and was surprised to discover that this is not part of the article. 96.39.62.90 (talk) 19:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, he hardly ever plays on the wing for Manchester United any more. – PeeJay 18:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Off-topic. I doubt he'll ever play for the first team again anymore unless the entire midfield gets suspended or injured. Mabuska (talk) 22:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Back on topic - i'd classify him as a central midfielder as i've only ever seen him play that position for the first team. Mabuska (talk) 00:18, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Position 

message: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/apr/25/darron-gibson-quits-twitter-abuse maybe include that too?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.86.125 (talk) 21:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There is grounds for its inclusion i feel if someone wants to do it. I won't as i lack objectivity on him in regards to his abysmal Man Utd performances (couldn't care less that he choose the RoI team over NI as quite frankly i'm glad he choose somewhere else to be abysmal).
