[athraigh] English (UK) soccer player stubs

Matty - I notice you've created a number "stubs" for several noted soccer players who have associations with Premiership clubs. This is laudable as there are quite a few "red links" on some of the related soccer pages. However, the pages you have created do not add much/any value right now, as they contain nothing but the name.

Can I ask you to "go back" and update each with the most basic detail? So that (at the very least) visitors will know that they are football players and who they currently play for? And maybe add them to a category?

I recognise from your user page that you may not have much Irish, so I offer the below template to help you achieve this.

Is peileadóir [[sacar|sacair]] é '''NAME_OF_PLAYER'''. Imríonn sé faoi láthair do [[NAME_OF_CURRENT CLUB]].
{{Teimpléad:Stumpa-peileadóirsacair}}

This will appear as:

Is peileadóir sacair é NAME_OF_PLAYER. Imríonn sé faoi láthair do NAME_OF_CURRENT CLUB.


Déileálann an stumpa seo le peileadóir sacair. Cuir leis, chun cuidiú leis an Vicipéid.
Má tá alt níos forbartha le fáil i dteanga eile, is féidir leat aistriúchán Gaeilge a dhéanamh.


This roughly translates as: "NAMEOFPLAYER is a soccer player. He currently plays for NAME_OF_CURRENT CLUB."

The stub will automatically add the article to the "Soccer players" category.

Thank you very much for your help. I'm sure it will be vital for me! All the best. Mattythewhite 20:19, 2 Deireadh Fómhair 2006 (UTC)
Hi Matty - Please accept this in the spirit it's intended, but before you create any more stubs, you may want to go back and update the "empty" placeholders that you have already created. I'll help out and include the template above in some of the player articles that you have created, but I can't do them all.
I suggest this becase, strictly speaking, the stubs that you have created are likely to be deleted in their current form. (See: Wikipedia:Stub - Ideal stub article: "the extreme case of a very short article with little or no context to allow expansion is a criterion under which articles may be speedily deleted.")
