Damien Johnson

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia!! I was just wondering why you removed that sentence from Damien Johnson? You'll see here that it was his first league game of the season, and he did replace Nafti, who was suspended for that game (see here). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I did not relies I probably did it by mistake I am new to wikipieda, thank you for telling me. User:joannekingston 20/08/08

Sources

Hi, again :-) Noticed your expansion of David Smith (footballer born 1968). I'm sure everything you've added is correct, but you may not be aware that it's important to add reliable published sources for your information - to show where you got it from - as well as the information itself. That way your readers can tell whether it's trustworthy or not, and can prove you didn't just make it up. This is particularly important in articles about living people. You may want to have a look at WP:Verifiability to find out why you should do it, or WP:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners to learn how. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you I will start to do that! User:joannekingston 20/08/08

Is the Mariner Men book you're using this one? I do hope so, as I've just added it to the References section in David Smith's article. If you want to include the page number(s) where you got his information from, you can edit the article, go down to the References section, where it mentions the book details and says |pages=, add the page number after the = sign. Then if you're using that book to improve any other Grimsby player articles, you can copy the book details to the references section of the article you're improving. hope this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is I will add the page number later, thank you! User:joannekingston 25/08/08

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
