Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Sheffield Wednesday task force

message: Its about time we started using this page. Now its been through its peer review we can think about nominating the main ariticle for FA status. The crest section is a bit weak I think. It could do with  infomation about how the new crest came about. I also remember them reverting to the old one briefly, can anyone remember exactly when that was. Anyone else think of any problems? josh (talk) 17:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have suggested Sheffield Wednesday F.C. for use on the Main Page as Today's featured article. I have used the club crest as the thumb image to accompany it, does anyone think that any of the other images would be better. Please feel free to add your comments here. -- Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 19:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Sheffield Wednesday F.C. squad, part of the SWFC project, is up for deletion and no-one seems to be defending it (apart from me, a Unitedite for 50 years) although it has been worked on for 6 months or so. roundhouse 20:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion 

message: Hey all, there is an article on Wednesdayite which is up for deletion and needs some TLC, I have cleaned it up and added some independent citations, but it needs defending and a little more work on the article if possible - it would be a shame to lose this as people are generalising that Wednesdayite is just a generic term for fans and don't undeerstand that it is also a big political point as well as  a large fans trust. 82.38.202.151 22:21, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd really appreciate any help you Wednesdayites could provide with the Kevin Pressman article. His infobox stats were badly wrong - I've tried to to clean them up as best I can but as I'm relying on soccerbase I'm not sure my information is accurate. Any help would be great. --Jameboy (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In particular his league apps for Wednesday... soccerbase has 406, Neil Brown has 404... --Jameboy (talk) 23:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Soccerbase seem to have got an extra two appearances from somewhere. the official SWFC website has Pressman down for 478 total appearances, whereas Soccerbase has 480, so I would go with the Neil Brown figure of 404. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 23:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't see that Wednesday staff outside of the playing management is of much encyclopedic value. Would anyone object to moving the page to List of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. managers. Brian Laws support staff could be covered with a paragraph in the lead and we could concentrate on getting it to featured status ala List of Aston Villa managers. josh (talk) 02:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi there, I am fairly new to Wikipedia but am expanding the article on my grandfather Harry Burgess who played for Wednesday in the 1930s. I noticed that one of his best friends, Wednesday legend Ellis Rimmer doesn't have a page on Wikipedia for some reason. If you would like me to add a page on him while I am researching Harry's career then I would be happy to. I have been fairly successful working out how to edit the pages but am not sure how to start a new page. Could someone help me with this? Also if there are any other players from that era who need a page then I could have a crack at them too. PS are there any pro forma player pages that I should follow?
:Clicking here will take you to the page for starting the page. It will include instructions about starting the page. The most important thing to do with a new page is making sure that you establish what is notable about the subject with refs. England stats has a page about his England career. If you include a link to it somewhere on the page it will make sure no one tries to get the page deleted. Footy player pages usually use  at the top of the page as well. josh (talk) 19:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. 
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

message: Hi!  I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate.  This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group.  If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

message: As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

message: Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone.  Articles were selected based on their assessed  importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Sheffield Wednesday articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.  As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.  Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

message: nominated Sheffield Wednesday F.C. for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status.

message: Hello members of the Sheffield Wednesday WikiProject. I am following up on a discussion that has taken place at WT:FOOTY regarding the status of your WikiProject, amongst others. The general consensus among our group is that we recommend you consider converting your WikiProject into a task force of WikiProject Football. The actual changes that would occur would be negligible in a functional sense, as you could continue to assess the importance of your articles separately from football articles in general, via the  talk page banner, and you could continue to use this page as your 'base of operations'. The benefits of this change to you, however, would be great: increased relations with WikiProject Football would attract a greater number of editors willing to help your cause and improve your articles. Your articles would therefore benefit from the wealth of total experience possessed by WikiProject Football members. If you have any comments or questions about this proposition, I invite you to add them to this thread where we have centralised the discussion. If we do not hear back from one of your participants within 72 hours (i.e. by 19:00 BST, 6 August 2011), we will assume that your silence implies consensus and we will begin the conversion process. – PeeJay 18:18, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?
