That's it for now, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 17:02, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay I've actioned on those now. Thanks.EchetusXe 01:11, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

You're still using nicknames without introducing them. Who knows what "Shakers" or "Bantams" means without saying what they mean? Personally I'd stick with the club names, this is, after all, an encyclopedia. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay I have removed the nicknames.--EchetusXe 21:58, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
