Foot.ie PROJECT: Wikify Irish Football

[passinginterest]

Seeing as it was becoming an issue for some people I edited the Wexford Youths page a bit. I changed the bit about the car parking and made it less prominent. Also tried to make it read a bit better in general.
I'm not big on the workings of Wikipedia but I'm learning some of the stuff. I might try edit it a bit more if I get some time. It's not looking too bad though at the moment I think.

Ok added a bit more and I think I've corrected a good bit of the spelling and that sort of thing.

Anyone got any feedback on how it reads or what could be added?

See my post in the Wexford forum PI.

Thanks for that, I think a lot of the fixtures/news was put in early on when the official website hadn't been launched. The latest news section is certainly out of place in an encyclopedia but would be tempted to keep the fixture list for this season.

Something in common already then?

your getting way too predictable NY!

I've just started a WikiProject for Irish football if anyone would like to participate. It's still in its early stages, but you're all are free to join and express any ideas you feel would help.

You'll find it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...Irish_Football

Added myself as a participant. Will look at it more tomorrow.

Added myself.

I've updated the project page a bit and created a few new templates (for use on user-pages and talk-pages) to help direct people towards the page.

Update: I currently have the Derry City article under peer-review with the hope of raising it to 'featured article' status.

Be nice to see that arriving in my Inbox some morning.

Anyone else having a problem with people constantly changing the Wikipedia page of their club?

The Wexford Youths page has been changes loads of times by Dundalk fans. Some of the references I had added to back up material have been deleted and I don't want to go looking for them again. Obviously some others are trying to correct the malicious edits too but some relevant stuff is being lost. It's constant and really annoying!

If you go to the "history" tab on the article, you should be able to look back through all previous versions of the article and find your version, including links, etc, fairly handily.

I've requested the page be semi-protected for a couple of weeks.

The Derry City article has been nominated for 'featured article' status.

Also, an article improvement drive has been created as part of the WikiProject.

Update: The Derry City F.C. article has now achieved FA status.

Well done Danny, great work. It's a fine article.

I've added a few things to the Galway United page. Anyone know how many caps Seamus McDonagh got for Ireland?

[TheBoss]

25 Games and 0 Goals.

Can anyone help out a bit with the Wexford Youths page?
It was reviewed and since then I've tried to follow the advice in the review and fix up the article a bit. Someone else has also been tidying it up, but, I think they've deleted a lot of the history section unnecessarily. I reinstated the parts that I though were relevant only for the same guy to delete them again.

The history section is mentioned by the guy who did the rating, but, he only suggested making it more connected and easier to read, while making it less POV. I can't see why this other guy deletes the references to first games in league and cups as well as first goal, attendance and other events such as official website and supporters club. I don't think they were POV, they were referenced and, I feel anyway, relevant to history section. Maybe I'm totally wrong.

Would someone with a bit more know how mind having a look? Thanks.
