Robin van Persie

Hey, just a quick message to say that I'm itching to improve an Arsenal player's article. I know you're still going with the Tel FAC (I'm letting you deal with the suggested improvements as they come, as I don't want to interfere), but what do you say we improve Robin van Persie to GA? At a (very quick) glance, it seems there's a lot which can be improved:

  • The lead section needs rewriting
  • The Personal Life section needs to be split up to form an Early Life and Outside Football section (the latter particularly notable due to his court case)
  • The Early Career section needs expanding and citing
  • The whole Arsenal Career section needs citing in much more detail

That list makes the article sound worse than it actually is; it's actually very detailed, has very good pictures, and seems reasonably well written. However, there's probably loads of information about him on the web (he's always giving interviews etc.), so there should be massive room for improvement.

Let me know! -GilbertoSilvaFan 16:00, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok mate, that sounds good, I'll probably start working on it Tuesday. (Though feel free to make a start on it before then obviously!) -GilbertoSilvaFan 16:21, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mate - just going through everything which needs doing to the article, and since I've been on Wikibreak for a while, I have a question about what is the "done thing":
Do "International career" sections in player articles always have their own section? In the T. Henry article it has its own section, but in the G. Silva article it doesn't. I can't find a guideline on it or anything - what do you think I should do for the RVP article? Thanks for any advice or pointers. -GilbertoSilvaFan 17:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, well done on the Tel article mate! It's been quite a while coming, hasn't it. I think in the end, most of the edits I made to the article actually caused more trouble than good (with regards to the FA nom)... but thank you for the half barnstar nonetheless. (I never knew a half barnstar existed, it's quite special.) Anyway, well done again. I'm having a rest from the RVP article by the way - just spent the week travelling around Brazil. Took a load of photos (most to do with articles related to Gilberto), so will spend the weekend posting them all etc. So, laters. -GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 15:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Internet TV broadcast

Hey, a friend of mine who watches live football matches online told me to search for SopCast and TVUPlayer. I don’t watch TV online and my friend’s currently busy, so this is as far as I can get you. Hope these work out for you! —LOL (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info, I'd check it out! Chensiyuan (talk) 00:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Cousy

Hi, I just saw your work on Bob Cousy. I have a book on Cousy at my local library, so I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I might start the push to FAC. Best, Nishkid64 (talk) 07:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's fantastic news, I'd keep a lookout. Chensiyuan 07:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kaká

Hi mate. About the Kaká article - I was gonna stick to doing Arsenal articles for a while, but I think Kaká's definitely needs a bit of a revamp (especially when you compare it to the TH and Ronaldinho articles). So I definitely wouldn't mind helping out with fixing it up a bit. However, I'm gonna work on getting RVP to GA first (it's taking longer than I expected, I am very slow/lazy/crap), then after that, I'll join in the Kaká party.

Actually, another question while you're here - on my talk page I got a message saying that Image:Bishopmill_Villa_crest.jpg is illegal blah blah - but the fair use rationale is exactly the same as Image:Arsenal FC.png, and both are official football club crests? Am I missing something? If Bishopmill Villa's crest isn't fair-use, then surely Arsenal's isn't either? (And vice versa, if Arsenal's is fair-use, surely Bishopmill Villa's is.)

Cheers, seeya. -GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Odyssey at Wikia

What's up! I've created a Lost Odyssey Wiki at Wikia and wanted to invite you to share your knowledge with us on a whole wiki dedicated to the game. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Cheers. JoeLay (talk) 22:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the invite. I've been contributing, albeit under an anon IP. Too many passwords to remember if I register! Keep up the great work. Chensiyuan (talk) 00:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NBA COTM for June

It's about time to announce to next article to collaborate on. I thought that since we did a retired player this time, we could do a current player now. I know you've worked on a lot of GAs, so I want to ask your opinion: Which current player article do you think would be best to collaborate on? Noble Story (talk) 03:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dirk Nowitzki -- p.s. am still on vacation so I don't check in on WP that often. Back in a month. Chensiyuan (talk) 12:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm...I think I'll eventually have to decide bewteen either Nowitzki or Steve Nash. Well anyway, enjoy your time off from the Wikigrind. Noble Story (talk) 13:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cesc Fabregas

Hi there - I was wondering why you removed my external link that I updated yesterday evening? Click the opta stats from the following page - http://footballtalentspotter.com/player/francescfabregas-4626.aspx - it has ALL of Fabregas' statistics for the forthcoming season - I really think most Gooners would appreciate this type of information and I was wondering if you'd allow me to place the external link back there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.120.128 (talk) 11:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link didn't load for me, but if you think it fulfils WP:EL, add it back by all means. Chensiyuan (talk) 15:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Raptors

why you take my pic off? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bballlova99 (talk • contribs) 15:51, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? It's too small in relation to the rest. Chensiyuan (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cesc Fàbregas

Hi. Before everything I exuse me for my poor english. I'd like to insert in the article the Cite...template' and update some "dead links", like in the it.wiki. Why not? It would be a good thing, because it would meet the FA criteria.--Andrea 93 (msg) 08:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. So I'm gonna change only the dead links (in particular arsenal.com links).--Andrea 93 (msg) 09:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Only two links are still dead: notes number 5 and number 44. I don't know how to resolve the problem, maybe we should find other citations or simply delete them. But, when we'll resolve the problems, why don't we try for a FA nomination? I think the article is good!--Andrea 93 (msg) 14:01, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I'll do it in the it.wiki, where the criterion are less strict ;).--Andrea 93 (msg) 14:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2006-07 raptors

Pending GA Delisting

The Hershey Company, an article were shown as being a primary editor on, is currently undergoing a GAR for potential delisting due to it no longer meeting GA criteria 1-3 (well written, well referenced, and comprehensive). See Talk:The Hershey Company#GA Reassessment for the full breakdown. -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 17:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Andrew Bynum

Hi, Chensiyuan. I am wondering if you can take a look at this article since it is currently undergoing peer review. I'd appreciated it. Thanks—Chris! ct 22:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thierry Henry pic

Yes. I checked the license link. It's in hebrew, so I can't judge the validity. looks like a blog or something, which is not inconsistent with the uploader's claim. If you want to challenge the license, that's one thing, but it is a much better picture. Also, an edit summary might help others determine your reasoning for the reversion. Just a thought. Cheers. --Evb-wiki (talk) 01:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cesc Fàbregas

Hi. I can't promove the italian article "Cesc Fàbregas" in italian FA, but look, now Arsenal is it!--Andrea 93 (msg) 15:46, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got a hand in that? Chensiyuan (talk) 01:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am the most significant contributor to the article ;)...despite I like Chelsea.--Andrea 93 (msg) 07:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent stuff! Chensiyuan (talk) 04:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Andrés Nocioni

Hi, I am wondering if you could help save this article from GA delisting. I've tried to deal with the issues raised by the reviewer, but since I am not good at copyediting and writing, I don't think I could save it myself. I think it would be unfortunate if it got delisted. Thanks in advanced.—Chris! ct 01:37, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it appears the outstanding issue is scope of coverage. Another editor has expressed (implicitly at least) willingness to address that... but I'd pop over to see if I can help. Chensiyuan (talk) 03:31, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think Marcusmax is on the hunt for help from the Chicago Wikiproject, they'd probably be in the best position to help since the concern is scope -- I can sort out gnoming and format. Chensiyuan (talk) 01:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some help thanks

Can you place a link on the template at 2008 NBA Finals to link to the 2009 NBA Finals? 2007 is there but i dont know how to add => 2009 just like the rest of the Finals years. Thanks Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 10:09, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I've tried but I also don't know how... Chensiyuan (talk) 12:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok yes, its a funny one, must be something to tweak or change. I will ask Chris. Thanks Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 12:28, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Chensiyuan (talk) 06:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

<= Can you add the one Dendodge suggested on the page, im making a meal out of it and want to save myself from further embarassment. Appreciate it Monster Under Your Bed (talk) 09:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure it out either, maybe can ask LOL. Chensiyuan (talk) 01:02, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citation templates

Regarding this edit, I understand your point but surely the use of citation templates has to start somewhere. I would have thought it more sensible to move towards converting the existing references rather than just keep adding them without templates. If we don't start using them now then the more the article develops, the more work will be required to convert them at a later date. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:23, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
