Ridgewaye football[edit]

Untitled[edit]

I think the original article on Ridgewaye was suitable for an encyclopedia. I would like to see similar information on the cricket club. Our town coat of arms has a brick and a cricket ball - industry and sport - and Wikipedia should reflect this.--JohnWPFrancis (talk) 13:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it is appropriate to have information about the team, but the amount of information and the style weren't appropriate, for example "This demonstrates the level of coaching quality (the FA Junior Team Managers Levels one & two), administration and a full child protection policy." is not suitable in my view. The whole of the next section is of very little interest to people not directly involved with the club and would need citations. The section after that is alright. The section afterwards is borderline. The section beginning "This project has been overseen..." is not worth putting in an encyclopaedia, and this applies to most but not all of the rest. It all seems like an advert for the club and a way for the people who run the club to congratulate themselves on wikipedia! (Edmund1989 (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

I hope my edit is an acceptable compromise. The majority of the reposted material has been kept, including the external link. A long list of names is not interesting to people looking for information about Southborough. A couple of citations are also needed. (Edmund1989 (talk) 20:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and the content about the football club does not fit the style and content guidelines of Wikipedia. If the material is heavily reworked, it might go in the article, but such a long section seems unsuited to an article about the town. (Edmund1989 (talk) 16:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

This of course is YOUR view. Ridgewaye Football club is the largest youth organisation in Southborough, has now over 300 members,over 50 support staff who all work on a voluntary basis. The club is therefore a major part of the life of Southborough youth and should form a part of the information on the area. Please refraine from deleting this article again.[17:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulgilden (talk • contribs)

I disagree with your view on this section. There may well be a place for the football team in the Southborough article, but the section is far too long, and with this in mind I have moved it to a page devoted to the club which is linked to in the article. I have not dealt with the problems in the style and content of the article, but I have labelled them. (Edmund1989 (talk) 23:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]
