message: I am pleased to see this article has been expanded so dramatically - but I cant help thinking that from the lack of wiki markup and the details given pertaining to other clubs, most of this material could be in violation of copyright.  I've googled some text though and found nothing - it's a nice expansion of the article - but what are your sources?

message: Quote:
"Coach Stuart Gray was put in temporary charge of the first team for a month after Jones's dismissal, before Glenn Hoddle was appointed on a permanent contract."
Glenn Hoddle was given a 6 month contract during last season (2004/2005) which was then extended at the start of this season (2005/2006). I am not 100% sure how long a contract he signed but as a best guess it was a 1 year rolling deal as seems to be the standard for managers in the Premiership & Championship these days.

thread_title:  Player profiles  

message: I don't think they were the first Midlands team besides Aston Villa or Coventry to win a competitive match against Man United in 25 years - Derby beat them 3-2 at Old Trafford in 1997, for starters (We haven't had much to celebrate in the past ten years, we cling to what we get...). I've corrected the statement to say West Midlands, which, I assume, is what was intended. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.6.99.157 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term  club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 13:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A note on British English 

message: This article needs a rewrite - it's overlong - the history section is too long to sit inside a general article on the team - it may be better to have a sub-article and a precise of the information. Clubs songs needs editing and limiting to the most notable; Hooligans section is badly written and unreferenced. The team section includes this summer's transfers - while this is notable in the transfer close-season, most wikipedia articles omit these when the season gets underway - wikipedia isn't meant to be a fansite/ news-site etc. List of former notable players - again should be  alist and not have the additional comments. Generally, it the entry just needs a rewrite and a prune! Views from people? Steve-Ho 22:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Eight months later and the page still needs a rewrite along these lines, I think. The new notable player list change is excellent, but some of the other sections could do with some heavy editing. The hooligans section can be deleted, in my view, along with lots of details from 2005 onwards, and the stuff on the fanzine is unencyclopedic. Shortly after the start of the new season is the perfect time to do the editing, as things settle down. Views?  Paul haynes 14:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Arrests

message: I've removed the listing of famous fans altogether.  Most of it isn't really information relevant to the club, it's heavily unsourced, and having it is likely to encourage rather dubious additions to it.  That somebody is a Wolves fan may be notable enough for inclusion in the article about that individual, but usually not the club.  (This has been discussed here, where it was revealed that Bill Clinton is allegedly a supporter of Oxford United.....) --RFBailey 19:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully agree. I'd much rather see the fans section used to report on real fans. I'm trying to piece together some info on the "Air Wolf" period when Wolves fans chartered planes to Newcastle but I'm not going to add it until I can find sources for it, far too much of this article is unsourced. - X201 20:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Irish Players

message: Glenn Hoddle is one of the inductees to the hall of fame for 2007. Nominally, this is as a player, so does he get added to the list or not? The argument for yes is that he managed the club for (part of) 3 seasons, while the argument for no is that he did not play for Wolves and he was chosen as a player (the fact that he isn't popular is a separate issue).

message: I have re-added the "lyrics" to  The Liquidator, no explanation was given for their removal and they are key to allowing people with no knowledge of the club work out why the song was banned in the first place.

replies: text: It doesn't seem to be so. There was a lot of hype about him possible signing on a years loan from Le Havre -  , he signed a loan contract , got his work permit application rejected for the first time  and the deal fell through when the appeal was rejected .

text: As a user of AmeriEnglish Bastardization my first instinct is to want to put a The before the club's name  but I know it isn't actually like that.  That may be what is throwing me off.  This diff is more readable to me, but in all fairness, I think someone on the other side of the big lake should be the one to make the call as 9/10 people coming to this page are probally using European English and it may sound just fine to them. Hooper (talk) 16:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As a rabid user of English English I took a look at a few other football club pages and they either are as per Wolves is now or as Wolves was before the recent edit. The use of 'is' rather than 'are' as in... xxx Club is a professional.... or xxx Club are a professional.....  is a variable which may be worth playing around with, personally I like is .  I think adding a The would not work but think bringing the word professional further up front does make ita bit awkward. For two exemplars of IMHO equally good footy club articles in the Championship using two variations on a theme look at Ipswich Town F.C. and Norwich City F.C.

thread_title: Intro Sentence

message: Could someone help me know how is the name pronounced in this case? The usual (French) pronunciation of "Molineux" is with "oe", but I have been told that in the case of this specific place in Wolverhampton, it is pronounced "Molin YO". Thanks --Karpada (talk) 17:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: (NB. I am not a linguist)General pronunciation of it in England is as "Molli-new" or "Mollin-oo", but I can imagine that someone with a Black country/Birmingham accent would pronounce it as "Mollin-yo" from their propensity to change "You" sounds to "Yo" in common speech.

replies: text: Firstly because we advise against it as it comes under the general heading of trivia and it doesn't mean much to the club that some people who have been on the telly in the last 20 years support them, thousands of others attend every game. It might mean something to the person and may have a great input on their life, in which case the information would go into their article (see for example Adrian Chiles.

message: I would like to suggest using just Wolverhampton in the player info boxes as using the full Wolverhampton Wanderers: 
*1. Is not necessary as there is no other club with Wolverhampton in it's name. We usually only use the full name when there are multiple clubs with part of the name the same.
