Thx again - adding good refs is a very good idea. Someone adding bits like this well will, I hope, lead the prime editors to up their game and use citations more. The VC and GC is a great idea but I hope you won't just restrict it to public schoolsx ... these people make the "comp" notable!. Their is an online database of VC winners but it gives birthplace .. but not schools ... but I notice that their are two books that claim to name names.

• Oh trivia ... Repton school has a prep school called Foremarke Hall ... which also has a train named after it
• Other trivia - there is a school in India at Lucknow that was given "battle honours" in 1930 for its student's role in the Indian mutiny Victuallers 09:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for the work on Vic. For the cat:, the School itself is not an OV (Old Victorian) so shouldn't be in the Old Victorians category - but the category page contains a link to the Vic article.

The status of the school is slightly bizarre in that it is owned by the public, but a member of HMC. The existence of a fee-paying sector within States-provided education in Jersey sometimes seems odd to outsiders. Until the establishment of the governing body a few years back, the school was directly under the control of the Education Committee, but it is much more of an autonomous institution now than it was (but that goes for States education generally, under the new regime of governing bodies).

BTW, I'm not certain that Queen Victoria can be described as being the Founder without being somewhat misleading. What do you think? Man vyi 11:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I've put in a link to the cat: As for the founder, it was the States. The Loi (1860) au sujet du Collège Victoria comments that the school was erected by the States and the administrators of impôts (as explained in the article, the States didn't have full control over educational provision until 1921).

BTW, helpful wiki-hint - you can sign and date your comments easily by typing 4 tildes at the end of what you write, like I'm about to do here: Man vyi 05:11, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Longer lists like this are hard to know how to manage. I noticed you were reorganizing this list and also doing some work on the Old Wellingtonians. At the Old Greshamians list, I have ended up with quite a simple structure - you may like the header Public life, which catches some people who are hard to put in a small box of their own, like ambassadors. The List of notable Old Marlburians is very like the Old Alleynians approach.

So far, I see the Old Carthusians list is simply chronological, like the four lists of Old Etonians, while the lists of Old Harrovians and the Old Rugbeians are simply in alphabetical order. There clearly isn't any norm yet! Xn4 02:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, I noticed you have been adding VCs and GCs. We are up to similar things.

Seems to me that for now Mark Clarke is a borderline case. Usually, political candidates aren't notable, but leading a national political youth movement might give him a claim. I should have thought that so long as he has a Wikipedia article, you might decide to include him?

Hello there. I started work on a new article some months ago but was plagued by the dearth of recent information, despite being an alumnus of the school. I neglected several parts of the history due to exams, and the same with the 3 VC winners. I'm currently on business in the United States and therefore have no access to my history of St Bees School which I planned to cite to Kingdom come, although if time allows I might utilise the village website's fine history to make the page current. Of course, feel free to take whatever you want from the page. Time I had another look at it I think. Nice to see the new Old St Beghians Category in being. --Harlsbottom 23:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I am unaware of the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury as visitor to the school. Indeed, putting it in such a prominent position in the infobox seems a trifle unecessary, as it is giving an unecessary level of emphasis to a position that is perhaps historical, and yet meaningless today. (Indeed, I can definately say he has never visited the school - at least as archbishop) He is not mentioned in any of the schools publications. Feel free to correct me.

Please take note of the fact that more than one editor is reverting your additions to the public school articles. The fact that trains were named after the schools is relevant at the train article, but not at the article on the school itself. At best, you could create a new category so it appears at the bottom of the article, but it definitely does not deserve a huge paragraph in the article itself.

Sorry I haven't replied for a bit. There is supposed to be a subpage to put comments, but as soon as someone puts the rating on, the link to the comments page disappears, which seems kind of redundant. In the future, I think I'll just put them on the talk page. But as for the article, the next step is to meet the six B-class criteria. So, I think first, the early life and career sections may need to be expanded. Also, more in-text citations and a picture would help. After these things, then it'll be easier to meet the criteria. Anyway, have fun editing. :) Green caterpillar (talk) 14:14, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kwib, I did a bit of work on the Britain in Bloom page a few weeks back. I was amazed by the amount of intensive work you had done there – astonishing! But there are still a few things that need a bit of clarification, I think, especially in the tables. Where a cell is filled with a block of colour at the base of the table (representing the early years of the competition) it obviously indicates the non-existence of those categories in those years, but what do the empty cells higher up mean? Were the categories not contested, or were none of the entries judged good enough for a title? And what does it mean when a category such as Small Country Town, or Large City is blank in some years and filled with tone in others? Perhaps two colours should be used, with a key?

Responded on SiGarb talk page.Kwib (talk) 00:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your speedy reply. It all becomes clear (or clearer!). So perhaps a key, or, as you say, some standard text overlying the blocks of tone would help to clarify the situation. Cheers! SiGarb | Talk 22:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I deleted because after reading the article I did not understand why this player was notable. It was not clear from the article. He seemed to be unremarkable player. However after reviewing the article the second time (with your clarification in mind) I restored it. Still the article should mention that this school is one of the New Zealand's top schools, otherwise it looks that like he was a headmaster of an ordinary unremarkable school.

Firstly please forgive my ignorance, the only contributions I make relating to rugby union are when I make articles to add to the List of cricket and rugby union players (I've picked on you to answer my query because you made some edits there). In many cases, this means adding a rugby player infobox to the article but I am unsure about one thing which I hope u can help me out with. When it asks you to list their international 'caps' and 'points', is this only for official Test matches? For example, All Black James Tilyard played just one Test match but represented New Zealand in nine tour matches, against sides like NSW. I've combined the two to give him 10 caps, as that seems to be how List of New Zealand national rugby union footballers is set out. Is this correct? Or are Test matches and perhaps matches against other international sides the only things to be considered caps? Any clarification would be appreciated. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 06:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt and detailed response. I will have to look back over other articles I've made because I think I've 'overcapped' some guys. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 09:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

In both rugby league and rugby union we number international appearances in the info-box as being Test and World Cup appearances. A tour match doesn't count as an international appearance although it makes a player a national representative. Thus you do get players whose article refers to them as a national representative player even though they have 0 international appearances in the infobox. I don't have an RU example top of mind but here's an RL example. rgds -Sticks66 13:05, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Gnevin (talk) 13:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Sounds about right. There is low coverage for the early rugby players, unless they were picked up by other projects, such as cricketers. Wales will be strong in the early days, as I have put a lot of effort into these articles, and have completed the first 200 internationals (not just stubs either, if you find one tell me.) I have also made sure that the first three Lions tours have comprehensive articles on all notable players (ie those we can trace). I have now come to the 1909 Home Nations, (before France joined proper) and am back tracking to cover more Ireland, Scotland and England internationals. The big drop off point will be from WWI through to the 1960s, from the 1970s, we have Wikipedians alive during this period who are more active to create these articles. You may find that this period reflects your stats. If there are articles needed for players prior to 1910, then give me a shout, I have a few books on this period. Cheers FruitMonkey (talk) 00:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

You've probably got the bases covered on the 1973 SRU centenary sevens anyway, but if you need any further info I have material from the 1973-74 Rothmans Yearbook and a brief section from Barry Bowker's history of the England team so give me a shout if you want.--Bcp67 (talk) 08:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Nice article. I like to see articles such as Stokes bloom quickly with good information. I'm personally not a fan of 'lets create a stub to get rid if a red link'. One good article is worthy 20 stubs; keep up the good work. FruitMonkey (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Nice work, mate. I assume, you used scrum.com as your source, which, unfortunatley, seems to have a flaw. It only records German internationals from the Moldova game in 2006 onwards and therefore counts players debuets as at this game or after, regardless whether they played for Germany before or not. And most have played for Germany before. What do you suggest to do? Leave it as it is or delete the information on players we are not sure about? Calistemon (talk) 10:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

I think maybe the thing to do with this article is to include a link to List of Scotland national rugby union players, and remove most of the internationalists, but then put the likes of Ned Haig, Bill McLaren etc on this list, who are significant players but who never made it onto the national squad.

An excellent article - but can I just raise a couple of questions? The article mentions three unrelated Browns from the Gala club taking part, but I can only see two listed in Scotland's squad, is there another one who needs listing? And the article also describes the tournament starting with a shock in England's win over Wales, when the match listing shows this as the final pool games.

I am not doing much on here these days in the way of contributing new articles myself, but always keen to look through new articles for links, cats and and a bit of copy-editing, if that's OK with you. According to my source, the 1973-74 Rothmans Yearbook, the order of the pool matches was exactly as you have given it, so I am sure England-Wales must have been the last game. I see you've changed the article a bit anyway. Good article on a tournament I knew little about.

I saw your comment about the Hjalti Arnason page I created, and you seem to think that I took information from the Le Defi Mark Ten International page that you created, but in fact I got the information from the website "David Horne's World of Grip". I have also created dozens of pages for both strength athletes and strength contests and I dont see why I would need to acknowledge someone else's wikipedia article when I clearly got the info from a website. I ALWAYS cite references on all pages that I create showing the websites that I get info from, I never just take info from another wikipedia page.Strongmantom (talk) 05:24, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Response at User talk:Strongmantom#Hjalti Arnason that reads: "Many thanks for you response on my page. I was not suggesting you took the information from Le Defi Mark Ten International in the mainspace of wikipedia but from a page on my namespace (User:Kwib/Hjalti Arnason) where only the day before (12:39, 26 September 2010) I had begun to create an article on Hjalti Arnason. You can see from that page the similarity of the infobox I had begun to put together with that which you placed in the brand new Hjalti Arnason page that you created just 12 hours after (01:07, 27 September 2010). The similarity of what I had done combined with the close proximity in time of me creating it and you creating the Hjalti Arnason led me to that conclusion. From what you have said it seems that it was a pure coincedence.Kwib (talk) 07:53, 28 September 2010 (UTC)"

Thanks for the clarification on that, I totally misunderstood you and thought you meant that I got his contest results forom the other page. I had no idea that you were in the process of creating the page at the same time I was. I dont even know how to access that type of info on other user's pages anyways, but I can see how it looked rather suspicious on your end. What a strange coincidence that 2 people were creating a page for an obscure strength athelete at the same time, pretty funny stuff. I like the additions you made adding stuff from the "Sons of Samson vol. 2" book which is one of my favorite strongman books. Do you know where you can find volume 1?

I took a few photos, including one of the commemorative plaque on the south wing which I might upload provided it remains legible. KenBailey (talk) 23:37, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kwib. I see you have been working on the early rugby internationals. I have also been trying to complete the identification of the Scotland players in 1871 and we could perhaps compare notes. For example, I have more details of W Forsyth and JLH McFarlane. Also, not sure about Robert Munro as there were two such students at St Andrews at that time. Kvaratschelia (talk) 18:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC) Probably the best thing is to exchange info by email, although one of the frustrating things about Wikipedia is that it is not possible to contact people direct. However, if you go to www.lordkinnaird.com and send a message you'll get hold of me that way. Kvaratschelia (talk) 08:37, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to replace the content of my Sandbox 13 with the table. It's much better, and I don't really do tables myself! All the best --MacRusgail (talk) 17:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

[Edit to add - Done, but I would like to get the Argentine tourists re-italicised. Thanks]

Thanks for recreating the article - I'd been meaning to tackle it but haven't for various reasons. If you want, I have pics of some reference material from the Owen Sound Sun-Times which can be used to flesh it out further that I can email you... Tabercil (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I can understand where you are coming from with only wanting to show top 3 for smaller shows but here is my reasoning for doing it. I feel that the competition history should be as thorough as possible for national and international level competitions, in order to provide as much relevent information about that particular athlete's contest history as possible.

I feel that BSM is a major national level contest that was run on a high quality professional level and was broadcast on television all over the world from 1999-2008 and I feel that this makes the contest worthy of listing lower level placings. If it were something like "Minnesota's Strongest Man" and the athlete finished in 10th place, that would clearly not be something that would need to be listed in their competition history. I usually apply this logic to all pages that I update, strictly for major national level and international contests. Hope that makes sense, thanks for bringing this to my attention.Strongmantom (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

A new cfd proposes renaming some categories, including one or more that you created. Please consider contributing here and here.

Hi. I tried to fix the dead links in 'World Strongman Cup Federation', but there were some that I couldn't fix. I marked them with {{Dead link}}. Can you help fix the remaining dead links?

Hi, I've just adjusted this man's early life. I don't know if this part was written by you but I felt it seemed to belabour his family connections more than necessary, maybe still does? By the way, I think most of him was pure Welsh! That was the statement (that his parents were English) that started me fiddling. Let me know if we need to discuss it. Best, Eddaido (talk) 01:10, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Whilst googling for an article for Walter Bumby, I noticed that you'd previously initiated a Walter Bumby article back on 8 August 2011‎, and bearing in mind my duplication of your John Lawrence Hickson article back in April 2010, I thought I'd better mention that I've created a Walter Bumby article, and that anything you can add would be great. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 14:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Kwib, our paths haven't really crossed since a merger into the John Lawrence Hickson article back in February 2011… 4½ years where does the time go? Anyhow, my query this time is regarding Broughton RUFC, and Broughton Rangers and their notable players. An article on espn.co.uk entitled 'Stones roll but Moss remains a mystery' agrees with you, and has F. Moss at Broughton RUFC, you also have C. M. Sawyer and J. H. Payne at Broughton RUFC. However, the Broughton Rangers article also lays claim to C. M. Sawyer, J. H. Payne, and F. Moss, but I suspect you're correct and that the players for these two different clubs in the same suburb of Broughton, Salford have been (**possible made-up word alert**) co-transposed, probably by me. My question is would you know whether the England internationals; Arthur Royle, Robert Seddon, and Alfred Teggin actually played rugby union for England while at Broughton Rangers, or Broughton RUFC? Best regards DynamoDegsy (talk)

An article you recently created, Edward Fraser (rugby union), is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thanks. Silikonz💬 17:01, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Please make sure the articles you create don't fail WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. One notable source with only statistics does not guarantee notability. You may also consider creating articles in the draftspace, then publishing when they are to standard. Thanks! Silikonz💬 17:12, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I didn’t see these comments before shifting a couple of articles back to main space. Apologies. I created these articles as stubs to work on over the coming weekend. Happy for them to be draft of that is the way of working now. On a related note as per your message, you mention notability criteria. I assume you are referring to currently only citing one source currently rather than the intrinsic notability of playing for the national side of a major sport. Kwib (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Almost nothing is inherently notable (see WP:NRVE). Verifiable sources are still key — the notability guidelines take precedence. If you're planning to make large changes in mainspace to an unfinished article, you may consider applying {{In use}} or {{Under construction}} to the page. Silikonz💬 18:11, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Giselle Mather at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Rusalkii (talk) 02:12, 25 March 2025 (UTC),

On 18 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Giselle Mather, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 2004 the Wasps Women's coach Giselle Mather waited until the end of a match to go to hospital despite going into labour before half-time? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Giselle Mather. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Giselle Mather), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey there, what is the purpose of the User:Kwib/Sandahl Bergman page? --Gurkubondinn (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, when I read Sandahl's current article I thought that there were a few areas where it could be improved. Therefore I collated some information with citations in order to do so. However, I haven't yet incorporated them into the article. Kwib (talk) 12:25, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

How did you collate the information? --Gurkubondinn (talk) 12:31, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Generally from lots of sources. However, Looking at what I have captured in my User area at the moment for Sandahl, it all seems to be from one online interview. I'd need to do more before weaving anything in. Kwib (talk) 09:35, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I'd shifted this User page into a "To be deleted" area, so this works well. Kwib (talk) 12:45, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Was there any particular reason that you generated this draft with an AI? --Gurkubondinn (talk) 12:47, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

It wasn't really a draft of an article. I was trying to summarise what I had found from one source into facts which I was then going to substantiate with more reliable sources - if I could find them. I utilised the User page as a place to house the summary for when I had time to come back to it. In the end, I didn't use this information and made the updates to the Sandahl Bergman page using better sources. That's why I shifted a few days ago into the "To Be deleted" area of my user area. Kwib (talk) 12:53, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Ah, I see. So you're saying that you had never intended this as a draft for an article (that this was never meant to enter mainspace), and it was more like something you saved for yourself in your userspace? --Gurkubondinn (talk) 12:58, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
