message: There are way too many external links at the bottom, can somebody get rid of some of them? I don't know enough to know which ones are useful and which are just spam or advertising. --Awiseman 15:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know how to sort the image of the strip in the infobox? Right now both strips have a plain green left arm [or right arm] but I am too much of a tard to fix it. Thanks.  PhilLeotardo 16:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Please note that this section is not reserved for players who are popular with Celtic fans. Mo Johnston is highly notable for his infamous u-turn that, at the time, was almost unthinkable in Scottish football. Thus i believe he should be included in this section. Would the editor(s) who keep removing him please justify their reasons for doing so? Thanks. Rockpocket
I agree - this section should of course include the greats as well as recent departures and controversial players such as MoJo. Winterbottom 15:49, January 8th 2007
I agree - he is notable.Hippo43 12:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Captain 

message: I cleaned this up a bit - extended it to English and foreign commentators, although some in Scotland make the same mistake. If anyone can find a source for David Hannah or Tommy Burns using "Glasgow Celtic" please add it to the article!PhilLeotardo 14:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It ain't called Glasgow Celtic. No original research please. --Guinnog 15:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Not really sure what the original research is a reference to in my post.  I'm just saying I disagree with going deeply into detail on who refers to it incorrectly shouldn't be done at the top of the article.  I merely objected to PhilLeotardo's edit.  Simply stating that people refer to it as "Glasgow Celtic" despite the fact that is not the team's real name is fine. Captkrob 18:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty fed up with reverting the bullsh*te of those who write insults and other trash in the article.Shouldn't we consider about a ban for non registered writers?I've already talked to a Admin (whose name I unfortunately forgot).In his opinion the IP writers had some good additions that were worthier than the destroyings.What´s the editors' opinions?-Lemmy- 11:52, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article ban 

message: Do we really think he was a notable player for Celtic?
"He moved on to Celtic in 1994 and scored 57 goals for the club in 68 appearances. He left Celtic over a wage dispute towards the end of the 1996/1997 season, stating that the reputed £7,000 a week he was being offered might be acceptable for a "homeless person" to live on but not for a man of his talent ."
Notable players should include fairly recent players, controversial players (like Pierre) and the greats. He may have been gready but he was notable. (deleted attack; see WP:BLP)
Winterbottom 
(I added the tag; the whole article could do with some sources if anyone fancies improving it.)

replies: text: I don't have a strong opinion either way, though his goals to game ratio is pretty remarkable, I suppose. Rockpocket 05:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: [[:Pierre van Hooijdonk]]

message: I moved the article on this player from the former to the latter spelling. As there are no references whatsoever in the article, I couldn't verify if this was correct. Can someone with a reliable paper reference please check? Thanks --Guinnog 19:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: George Connolly or George Connelly?

message: Mildly related to the above, I've noticed a fair amount of edit warring going on when it comes to Categories on various players.  For some reason I seem to recall this happening on Stephen McManus more than anyone else.  Recently people have added and removed (multiple times) "Roman Catholic Scots" and "Irish-Scots" (how to wikify?).  It seems to me that both of these need some justification, as simply playing for Celtic or having a particular last name does not make one of a particular religion or cultural background.  Any insight on what ya'lls individual policies are would be helpful.  Captkrob 23:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It happens regularly with players such as Chris Burke and assorted other young Rangers players. The edits are usually made by anons and are wholly unverifiable, as well as, IMO, being deliberately malicious. Archibald99 00:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, I've been removing them where there seems no justification for them. I'd agree that it seems to have been done on the basis of surname and/or having played for Celtic in many cases, which is not encyclopedic. One was just added to Tommy Burns and rather than revert it I asked the editor who added it to justify why they had done so. However I think these categories should be removed on sight where there is no verifiable evidence for them in the article, and more especially in the cases of living people under WP:BLP. --Guinnog 00:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Player Categories 

message: I'm indebted to those whose edits led me to follow up "A Soldier's Song". It's, as the anon editor pointed out, the English language version of the Irish national anthem, and as such can be cited as a song of Irish nationalism but not I think of republicanism. I've amended the language of the OF &S section accordingly and also corrected the info about what Lawwell actually said and I realise I buggered it up! I took Quinn's quote as being Lawwell's, sorry, I will just fix it. Here's the quote any way, from http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=1587672006
"Celtic are different, to the extent we have strong Irish roots and Irish links," said Lawwell. "A proportion of our fans celebrate those roots and links by singing Irish ballads. In no way could these ballads be described as sectarian, but I think in some quarters it is misinterpreted as sectarian. It is not sectarian behaviour. There is a difference there. We are a proud Scottish club, but with strong Irish connections. It's a fact and we don't want to hide it."
