Hi, I took the liberty to clean a bit the article you are writing about Charles Hindley. Hope you don't mind ;) Lucasbfr 21:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Cockburn (footballer)

Hi - can you explain the reasons for changing his date of birth. All available sources give the date of birth as 14 September 1923 (see [1], [2] and [3]). If you have information to the contrary, can you add your sources to the article. Thanks. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 15:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can add to those sources with the website MUFCInfo.com and the books The Official Manchester United Illustrated Encyclopedia and Manchester United - Player by Player, all of which confirm that Cockburn was born in 1923. – Pee Jay 23:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I have looked at the sources quoted by you, which do confirm the date of birth as 1921. I'm impressed that you have managed to persuade www.englandfootballonline.com to change their website to give the date of birth as 14-Sept-1921 (see [4]). Michael Joyce (www.allfootballers.com and "Football League Players' Records 1888-1939") also gives the date of birth as 14/09/1921, so I'm coming round to the opinion that all the other sources have got it wrong - they do tend to copy each other, especially if there was an error in the original registration papers. When I have time over the weekend, I will e-mail Michael Joyce and ask him for his sources. I may even apply for a copy of the birth certificate, although that will cost me £7, but if Wikipedia is to have any integrity, these details must be correct. Cheers.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Velpremus! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 8 article backlog.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
