thread_title: Recent Editions

message: User Shrewsberry02-- whose edits on this page are identical to those of anonymous user 86.139.68.131-- has changed the name of the coach from "Steve Fallon" to "Nathan Evans".  86.139.68.131 also vandalised the November Deaths in 2006 page, saying that this Nathan Evans was dead.  Furthermore, Shrewsberry02's other edit is very similiar to the Nathan Evans death vandalism.
These coincidences lead me to believe that Nathan Evans is _not_ coach of the Histon F.C.
But, to assume good faith-- I am certainly no expert on English Football teams, and there's a chance that the website could be out of date.  Can anyone provide any proof that a Nathan Evans is head coach of Histon F. C.?
If not, I'm inclined to believe the website. Anonymoustom 06:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

message: :Dude, you don't seem to understand how Wikipedia works.  Anyone can edit any article, that's the whole point of the site.  An official at the club cannot appoint you as the sole person eligible to edit the article (nor in fact did you need permission off him/her to edit it in the first place).  I am perfectly at liberty to make any changes I see fit to this, or any other, article..... ChrisTheDude 16:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: He has moved on and signed for Bury but still for some reason appears on Histon's homepage as a squad member. I have offcial conformation that Lance has been moved on and he is no longer part of our squad. Jazza5 10:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Dancarney, just wondering why you unconstructively undid the information I put on Histon 'supposedly' signed a player for a record fee, as I stated instead of re-editing or re-modelling. You yourself said that it would be more useful to constructively edit rather than to just undo. The article states that it was a signing with an undisclosed fee, hence why I put the word: supposedly into the article. I have put it back into the article and will stay there unless you can explain why you have taken this out when the article states it is a 'supposed' amount. Jazza5 (talk) 12:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states that the player signed for "an undisclosed fee", I don't understand how that can be extrapolated into a record fee without some explicit reference to this. Without such a statement it's just a player signing and not really worth commenting on as this is something unremarkable for a football club. The undisclosed fee is the only reference to money, and the word "supposed" doesn't even appear in the article. Dancarney (talk) 12:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Jazza, please don't be rude. To make sure we're not at crossed purposes, the article I am referring to is the Cambridge Evening News one that has been referenced.  This does not mention the fee's amount, nor does it state that any transfer record may or may not have been broken. Additionally, the statement that the moved was funded by the sale of Akurang is not backed up by the citation. It states that he was sold to Barnet, but not for how much, nor does it tell us what Histon did with the fee received. On another subject, good work on the new photo.  I think that the Bridge Road, Impington article would really benefit from having up-to-date images of all 4 sides of the ground. Do you think you might have these, or be able to take some next time you attend a game? Dancarney (talk) 09:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Sorry, have been really busy and to be honest, Wikipedia isn't high on my list of priorities! If you don't approve with it then either re-structure it so it doesn't need a citing or cite it. Also with reference to the mainstand/redgate stand picture, there is a home game tomorrow so if you want me to take a picture from a different angle or place then let me know. Cheers.

message: Just thought I'd clarify why I undid the edit previously by Sarumio. Many teams have been established as clubs other than their names at the moment and this information doesn't need to be included in the infobox right at the top of the article. It has been mentioned in the 20th Century section and that is where it will stay for the time being. Jazza5 (talk) 20:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was interested in this and had a look at all of the Premier League teams who started out under different names. Arsenal, Birmingham, Bolton, Everton, Fulham, Man City, Man Utd, Spurs and West Ham all have the club's name at time of founding in the infobox (the others have never changed name). This suggests a precedent, and the Histon article should probably follow suit. Dancarney (talk) 10:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Histon Institute tag 

message: I have deliberately re-edited and put back in some of the info which was removed due to it being of particular historical importance in Histon's 21st Century History. Neil Kennedy is the highest goal-scorer ever for Histon as stated in the article and I feel that it is indeed relevant to put what was the date of his testimonial and who he played his last game against. Thanks...Jazza5 (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If such a thing were important then you would see equivalent details regarding Dixie Dean on the Everton page, Thierry Henry on the Arsenal page, Billy Walker on the Aston Villa page, etc. but you don't. It should only really be included on an individual's page. Even Niall Quinn's testimonial, in which he famously gave away the proceeds, is not mentioned on the Sunderland page as it is not noteworthy for the club's article. It also smacks of recentism - there is no mention of who the previous record-holder was, for example. Dancarney (talk) 22:39, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Jazza, please assume that edits are made in good faith. Small, uncontroversial  changes don't really need to be discussed on a talk page, unless some kind of edit war breaks out. I think a good idea would be to put this article up for peer review, which should hopefully iron out any disagreements on tone, relevance, etc, etc.Dancarney (talk) 08:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I disagree, most edits don't need to be discussed. If that was the case nothing would ever get done on Wikipedia. I often edit after you've made changes as I have the article on my watchlist, and so I'll usually have a look at what changes have been made, and make any amendments I believe to be necessary. I do this because I am concerned that though your contributions are usually accurate and well-intentioned I get the impression that they can tend towards POV, placing more worth on recent events at Histon F.C. than perhaps warrant mentioning - in my opinion, of course! This is particularly the case as I notice from your contributions page that almost all of your editing is concentrated on Histon F.C. and related topics. Anyway, I will put the article up for peer review so that other editors may help sort out the various niggling disagreements we've been having. Dancarney (talk) 09:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Info regarding the end of Histon's 07/08 season 

message: I have added Adam Dalby into the squad list due to a Cambridge News article that says he has been offered a contract and the number 19 shirt.  Jazza5 (talk) 12:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Adam Dalby to the squad list 

message: As Histon F.C. remains on my watchlist from having contributed to the peer review some time back, I couldn't help but notice the repeated addition/reversion in the lead. I agree that it's not reliably sourced, but neither was the existing sentence to which it replied. That sentence doesn't imply that CUFC are Histon's only or even main rival, only that they are current-day rivals because they are in the same division, and I've now added a reference to that effect, taken with thanks from the sentence in Cambridge United F.C.#Supporters which states that "Other rivalries include ... local team Histon".
The editor who keeps adding the non-reciprocity of this rivalry perhaps has in mind the results of the FFC survey, also cited in the CUFC article, which lists Peterborough and CUFC as clubs who consider each other as their main rival. When that survey was carried out (nearly five years ago), CUFC were a Football League club and Histon were in the Southern League Eastern, so it'd be surprising if there was any rivalry at all, let alone a main two-way one.
I'd suggest that if it's really that important to keep re-adding the unreciprocated thing, a reliable source should be found to show that CUFC don't consider Histon as a rival at all, then it should be added at the same time. But bear in mind that Cambridge United F.C.#Supporters doesn't mind admitting them as a rival, albeit only a recent one. Hope this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point regarding the lack of citation for the rivalry in the first place! I was more concerned that the additions were meant to be condescending and not NPOV. Dancarney (talk) 12:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the FFC survey's five years out of date, so that's no use as a RS, and the regular editors of the CUFC article don't seem to have a problem with Histon now being a rival, so maybe the other editor won't feel the need to add it again. I've put the same note on their talk page as I did on yours, so if there is a problem then hopefully they'll discuss it here first... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
