[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page St Anthony's F.C. has been reverted.
Your edit here to St Anthony's F.C. was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.antshistory.moonfruit.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:07, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Willie Gibson (footballer born 1898), without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GiantSnowman 18:36, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alastair - what sources have you used for your website? Books, newspaper clippings etc.? Personally I feel it would be better to use these direct sources, as Wikipedia requires reliable sources to verify any and all claims. I will also advise you that, given your position and association with the club, some editors might believe you have a conflict of interest. I am more than happy to work with you to find sources and generally improve the article. I have been an editor for nearly 7 years so can help with the formatting/layout etc. GiantSnowman 16:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It also might be easier to keep the discussion in one place i.e. Talk:St Anthony's F.C.? GiantSnowman 16:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let me properly review the website and see what I can get. GiantSnowman 18:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
HI there - your website, while no doubt accurate (great research by the way) would not count on Wikipedia as a reliable source. However, it has allowed me to conduct my own research and I have started a 'Former players' section which I will expand fully, time permitting. GiantSnowman 18:48, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As I've said, the list is just a start - and I won't revert to any verson that's unreferenced. GiantSnowman 19:44, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
