thread_title:  football club? 

message: This notable players list probably needs an inclusion criteria. At some pages, the notable players list is treated as a list of "famous players who once played for this club". I can understand that, but not even that seems to be the case with this list. I can not at all see why players such as Jesper Christiansen, Mahir Sağlık or Danijel Ljuboja are considered notable players of VfL Wolfsburg? I almost looks like this list has turned into one of these "players from my country who once played for this club"-list. Best regards. /EriFr (talk) 08:22, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You are completely right, I noticed that too today when I reverted some IP adding a non-existent player (himself?). I certainly wouldn't revert you if you deleted the list. Like discussed at RB Leipzig, the inclusion criteria should be a set number of games played for the club (100?) or having made appearances for a national team while being with the club. I wonder if Wolfsburg has a hall of fame like some other clubs. Calistemon (talk) 09:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:SSV Ulm 1846

message: <discussion>
I propose that SSV Ulm 1846 Fußball be merged back into this article. There was only one article until July 2012, when this seperation was created. However, the football department is the most recognsiable department of the club and therefore the primary subject. Also, almost all links that lead to SSV Ulm 1846, and there is quite a few, relate to the association football department. The current seperation creates quite a mess in regards to links as most people are not aware of the existence of the SSV Ulm 1846 Fußball article. Calistemon (talk) 08:44, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List poisoning

message: *Adding spamtrap email addresses to a spammer's mailing list is not the same as list poisoning. This is referred to as a spamtrap. -Bitserve
**Actually, adding spamtrap email addresses to a mailing list does not fall under spamtrap. Its more like "spam entrapment" Calling these spamtraps totally undermines the concept and definition of a spamtrap. SpamTrap's don't require human intervention to meet their goals. SpamHaus practices this activity and calls it "SpamTrap", but in reality this practice only prays on older company's with email addresses that were acquired before closed-loop confirmation and other poorly designed web sites that don't do double optin yet. There is a better way to use this practice to encourage double-optin without blacklisting. We need a new category called "Spam Entrapment". -tkeyser
* I reversed the deletion of the implementation section.  It provides useful examples for those who might be inspired in coming up with new ways of fighting spam.

Talk:Primate Freedom Project

message: Thanks, User:Calton for your opinion that the subject of the article does not satisfy the notability guideline of Wikipedia. But I think it could given the suggested guidelines for organizations: 
"Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by a third party source."
"Notability can be asserted for organizations through: Inclusion in third party published materials."
The Primate Freedom Project is national in scope, as it focuses on the uses of nonhuman primates throughout the country.
The Primate Freedom Project's work has been the subject of news articles and radio interviews across the country. Two such citations have been added to support this.Rbogle 17:08, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This statement needs to be sourced so we know who the some are that are saying these interesting things:
::Some have speculated that it may be an oceanic cryptid which engages in reproductive spawning in the fresh waters in and around the Altamaha River
When making assertions about what people believe about cryptids, it's OK to to say what someone believes so long as you name them or at least cite the source article or book where the assertion was made.  otherwise, editors could go on all day about "people generally accept that" or "Many residents believe" and so on.

message: This is a prime example of the problems that came with letting internet cryptozoologists run amuck on the site, in this case dating back to the article's creation in 2006.
This figure appears in a few reports in Georgia newspapers. It's worth writing an article about. However, rather than taking the approach of a folklorist, the cryptozoologist turns the article into a monster hunting index. As a result, we get no information about this concept beyond maybe it's out there somewhere—and we can find it! That's fun but that isn't science.

Talk:Duke of Norfolk's XI

message: ...which until recently traditionally raised the curtain for international touring teams to England.
I'm not sure that the past tense is necessarily accurate. It doesn't look as though the match took place this year, but that could have been a one-off due to scheduling problems.
In practice, the team was typically largely made up of Sussex players.
Has that always been the case? I think a lot depended on which counties didn't have a fixture and so had players available. And there was generally a leavening of the recently retired. JH 17:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Having looked at some mid-1990s scorecards, I don't think there was a particular Sussex bias: for example, the 1996 match against the Indians had only two Sussex players (three if you count Tony Dodemaide, ex-Sussex), while the 1997 game against the Australians had only one Sussex player (James Hall).

message: The article previously said
:", with only one, Apsley End, being recognised on National Survey maps as a separate village, although it is in fact not"
It is true that Ordnance Survey 1:250,000 maps show the name "Apsley End".  But I do not believe this means that they "recognise it as a separate village", just that there is sufficient space on the map to write the name.  Their larger scale maps (e.g. ) show the names of all the Ends.  Google Maps also show the name "Apsley End", but perhaps they just copied the Ordnance Survey.  The village website () only mentions Higham Gobion and Pegsdon when describing the extent of Shillington parish, and the text quoted above says Apsley End is in fact not a village, so I do not see why Wikipedia should treat is specially.
