Talk:Yeovil Town F.C.

History section and Rivals

I created a Wikipedia account because I thought the 'History' section on this article could be improved - at the moment, the Football League section goes into too much detail on some seasons and not enough details on others.

Also, I don't think the 'Rivals' section is very accurate because despite being geographically close, Yeovil are not rivals with Swindon or Bournemouth, especially since they are no longer in the same league. I think a 'Fans' section which would then explain about the rivalry with Weymouth and Bristol clubs would be more appropriate.

I will aim to make these changes in the next few days unless there are any strong objections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bestteamwest (talk • contribs) 21:06, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

New Away Kit

Where's all the giant killing stuff? There's a huge jump here between 1946 and Graham Roberts! Come on you Yeovil fans, jump to it so all of us non-Yeovil fans can really learn something! Please?

The picture of the strips needs changing please, there is a new away kit for this season (see link: [1]).

Added in a bit of history of the YTFC page. Yini3

Could the idiot who keeps putting Scott Guyett back in the squad list please stop, he is in the loans out list so no need to stick him in twice.

Along with Plymouth Argyle, they are in a minority of English clubs to play in a largely green strip. Even so, for the 2003/2004 season they play mostly in white with green stripes.

Why say the same thing twice? This could be better written. Bold text

Fair use rationale for Image:Yeovil Town Crest.png

File:Nuvola apps important.svg

Image:Yeovil Town Crest.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

References and "notable" former players

I've added references for various of the claims on this article & removed the refimprove banner (although more would be nice) but note there is still a banner on ""Former players asking for consensus on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Could the experts here agree who should be included (& why) & then remove that banner?— Rod ^talk 14:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Revert on links

The fan sites need to be removed from the External links subsection per WP:ELNO. "Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies)." Previously, the guideline allowed for one but it is typically easiest to remove them all so so there isn't a pissing contest and it is hard to determine the best.Cptnono (talk) 11:47, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Because footballsite.co.uk is not a bad link for information on the club, but it should be removed. You need think past the negatives. If you want to help, clean up the article. It's not brilliant by any means. Govvy (talk) 13:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

It isn't like that at all, #87. To tell you the truth: The only reason I created a log in was to gain access to editing the Newcastle article. I thought Newcastle Mad deserved to be listed with the others and needed a log in to make the edit since it was a protected page. Eventually, someone removed it (it stood for awhile and I think traffic to the site actually spiked because of it) and they were right to do so. I did not realize it then but it is simply against the rules and there is reasoning. Make Yeovil a badass page and have fun but someone noticed the fan site listings and brought it to the attention of the larger community. I seriously feel for you and hope you aren't too pissed off.Cptnono (talk) 13:05, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

that site is nothing to do with me, you can remove it if you want. Govvy (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Why is this turning into chickenlittle BS? There is no reason for fans to get stressed out about Wikipeida. Chill out. The match report external link might fly (I think I kept that in when I deleted the others but am not sure). Open a beer and chat about improving the article instead of worrying about censorship. Talk as much shit as you want on political articles but let the sports ones be fun at least.Cptnono (talk) 13:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

heh, Spurs lost yesterday, so I am probably in a little bit of a funny mood. But I like to monitor this article as Yeovil have loaned 3 of our players! I need to stop now, this is sounding forum'ish. Govvy (talk) 13:36, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hometown won tonight so maybe that is why I am in a good (drunk) mood. I've noticed that besides the FOOTY project clamping down on stubs, sports articles can be fun to edit without any boohooing so hopefully everyone is OK. Oops... not a forum and 7:00 am. Time for bed!Cptnono (talk) 13:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

International Representatives

i have changed the title of this section as i felt it didnt really tell you what these players did. (Insert:Please sign your posts) Posted by: Allie cabab (Talk) 21:15, 25 October 2009

I think I am going to revert that title, you should add a paragraph description to explain it, not change the title. Anyway I will go a head and do that. Govvy (talk) 21:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

when did yeovil start wearing the hoops and have they any links with celtic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.210.252 (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

List of 'rivals'

The section titled "List of 'rivals'" has a banner on it saying that it lacks references. Also I am unclear as to what the inclusion criteria is for this list - aren't all the teams they play against rivals? I think the section should be removed unless it is made clear why these teams are included and references provided.— Rod ^talk 09:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

I've now removed this. If it is put back please give a clear inclusion criteria and citations.— Rod ^talk 13:24, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Player Updates

Dominic Blizzard and Anthony Edgar need adding to the playing squad. 2.218.163.55 (talk) 02:05, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

"Tone" banner

A banner has been added to this article saying "This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia". I do not feel this is justified and would like to remove the banner but what do others think?— Rod ^talk 20:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Date/year needed for "played Exeter City for the first time in the league"

This article includes "Of late[when?] they played Exeter City for the first time in the league" could a date or year be added and the [when?] tag removed? — Rod ^talk 16:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Additional citations banner

A couple of years ago a banner saying "This article needs additional citations..." was added to this article. Is it still needed? Can anyone help add citations or perhaps this should be removed and specific citation needed tags used where claims are unverified.— Rod ^talk 20:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

List of Yeovil Town F.C. records and statistics

The club has won dozens of honours so I would suggest creating the above page to list them in their entirety, leaving the top 3 league honours + the FA trophy win on the main article.--EchetusXe 10:55, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

(belatedly) parent page is only 11kb of prose, but I have no strong opinion really - weakly recommend status quo unless significantly expanded. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 08:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
