Directions

[edit]

Nice to see our near neighbours have got decent travel directions to their ground, saved me hours of trying to find it on Boxing Day. Great game, by the way despite the absence of goals. user:sjc

You have your own suggestion on Football/Standard for football club information to thank for that. Glad to hear you enjoyed it; I was elsewhere on family duty at the time. --rbrwr

Removed Adam Green and Mark McCammon from squad list as they won't be offered deals. Shame in McCammon's case as his timing could have done with some work. But we have Showunmi now instead :D - Sephjnr, 13/6

Home Kit

[edit]

Is it just my rubbish computer, or is the picture of the home kit on Wikipedia black, not red? Does anyone else have this problem?

I think that may be your computer, looks fine to me Matt101 05:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My work computer shows it up as black too, but it's red on the one at home. Strange. Alf X. Smith 18:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone think it is necessary to have last seasons (2006-07) home kit on the mainpage as we are in the 2007-08 season now? I think it seems a bit pointless now. Matt101 18:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Louis Carey

[edit]

Carey was indeed born in Bristol, but the official site lists him as Scottish - he has Scottish grandparents and has a Scotland U-21 cap. So should he go down as English or Scottish? --rbrwr± 21:57, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can he be listed as both? He does still qualify for England. Paddy 12:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Louis is definitely English regardless of qualifying to play for Scotland. He never did play a full cap for them so should definitely be listed as English.

Block on Editing?

[edit]

Guys, I think we may need a block on editing on both the main Bristol City page and players' pages as there has been needless vandalism on those pages in the past few days. Matt101 17:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. It's not fun having to spend the best part of an evening undoing all of that mindless vandalism. Who do we go to about this? Alf X. Smith 18:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Following BCFC's promotion, there seems to a couple of well-intentioned but rather un-wiki contributors. Please keep an eye on this - it is why this article only has a B-rating. DanMatthewsUK 07:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We finally have a semi-protected page! Also, many pages need photographs of players is many seem dull, any ideas? Matt101 15:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing how we can't use any pics from the offical site, do you think photos taken by fans would be acceptable? Alf X. Smith 18:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about a pic of Ashton Gate with the new seating, there are a couple posted on OTIB which we can use. Dargla 21:19, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

If anyone reads this, I think we need another block on vandalism on the page as it seems to have been vandalized a lot recently. Anyone agree? Matt101 18:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Trivia

[edit]

Don't remove items from this or any other section without reason please, unless it's obvious vandalism. Thank you. DanMatthewsUK 12:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved the trivia to renamed section colours, crest, mascot and anthem, added links - in accordance with Wiki style on not having such lists. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Nickname" the Robins

[edit]

Im sorry but how is there nickname The Shit?No offence but how edit this?Please find the real name.--Someguyudontknow 22:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Yes, That is the correct name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.72.70.114 (talk) 00:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bristol City F.C. players

[edit]

Should Category:Bristol City F.C. players include players who played for Bedminster F.C. prior to the merger? (e.g. Albert Flewitt) I've assumed it should but I'm not sure if there's any precedent for this. --Jameboy (talk) 00:06, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ashton gate

[edit]

can i take the ashton gate section out of the bristol city page, seeing as it has its own page anyway? 91.108.69.157 (talk) 16:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it shouldn't be removed, considering all featured football club articles appear to have a section stadium. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure who put AG's capacity at over 31,000! It's 21,497 and I'll amend it now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.45.128.185 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doherty

[edit]

I undid 82.46.36.82's edit [1] because it broke the Dziekanowski link. I could add Doherty back in, but shouldn't he be given the flag of Northern Ireland, rather than Ireland? And if he's in League 2 with Wycombe does he belong on the list...? --rbrwr±

Doherty is on the Notable former players list as he's a N. Ireland international. Feel free to add him back in. Matt101 (talk) 19:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, done. -rbrwr± 09:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mascot Pic

[edit]

I'm pretty sure that isn't a pic of Scrumpy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.120.161.6 (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Belated reply, what makes you think that? Jezhotwells (talk) 22:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA status

Anyone interested in pushing for GA status? Jezhotwells (talk) 22:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Squad table format

[edit]

A discussion is being held here on the possibility of rolling out a new squad template. The new template, named {{football squad player2}}, differs from the standard squad layout in several ways:

  • It features a sort function
  • Comes in a single column format that can be understood by screen readers.
    • Single column format ensures that low resolution browsers, including mobile devices, do not get part or all of the second column cut off.
    • Single column format ensures less clutter, particularly at lower resolutions, for wide sections such as the Arsenal loan section.
  • It gives nationality its own column; at present flags are featured in a blank, untitled column
  • It complies with Wikipedia's guidance on flag usage.
  • It leaves enough space to add images of current players, an example of which can be seen at Watford F.C#Current squad.

It is proposed that the new template be added to some of Wikipedia's most high-profile club articles, which might include Bristol City F.C.. To give your thoughts, please read and contribute to the discussion at WikiProject Football.

Request for completion of Merge

[edit]

As the merge / delete tag is still lying around in the Bounce around the ground page I request an admin to kindly complete the merge and remove the tag from the origin page. Thanks and regards. Wikishagnik (talk) 15:33, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - it didn't need an admin. Any editor can undertake this action. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:19, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bristol Wiki Meetup

[edit]

You are invited to the Bristol Wiki Meetup which will take place at The Commercial Rooms, 43-45 Corn Street, Bristol BS1 1HT on Sunday 28 July 2013 from 1.00 pm. If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Bristol topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some work to be done here...

[edit]

This article seems to have gone down hill in recent months. Some of it makes very hard reading. The last paragraph in the McInnes section is a perfect example.

Table Not Working

[edit]

I would fix this, but being new i don't know how to.... Can someone please fix this? Thanks! Tube Geek 77 (talk) 18:16, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed now, an IP user removed the club website and inadvertently deleted the closing brackets along with it. Kosack (talk) 20:01, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Attempt to clean up the History section

[edit]

I've just taken some time to attempt the clean up the history section. It was previously very difficult to read, I hope I've cleaned it up and made it easier to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.37.116 (talk) 17:51, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Err, thanks @JoshBCFC: for nominating...this article might need a fair bit of work so I will list some issues and we'll see how we go (I presume as an avid fan you've got some books etc.)? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • All subsections of the History section should be expanded and in paragraph format. Also, each section should have ample references.
  • Adding key players at various periods is good, and why they were important.
  • The third para of Rivalries needs some refs - also determine whether the minor rivalries are notable....
  • Supporters? What are they called?

I'll leave this open for seven days, or possibly much longer if it gets a good going-over with bunches of refs added. Maybe @Kosack: will have some local info.(for rivalry with Cardiff anyway)...or @Bodney: for some local Brizzle stuff.. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Casliber: I think you might have to fail it as the last edit came from the 2nd February 2019 and I haven't seen any improvements on that article other than a little bit of maintenance here and there. Not Homura (talk) 23:39, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have failed it now. Not actuallly that much to do. I hope someone reads this and acts on it in the future. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

[edit]

It should have read "2019-20 Bristol City F.C. season|Current season" in two square brackets. What C.Fred unintentionally did was restoring the square brackets so the preview was not displayed correctly. Iggy (Swan) 17:50, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of bankruptcy, etc. in lead

[edit]

Over time this seems to have been added to and removed from the lead section in various guises by multiple editors but there doesn't seem to be any discussion as to whether it should be included or not, so perhaps now is the time find consensus?

Home Kit

[edit]

The Home kit has not been added for the 21/22 championship season, i dont know how to add the kit patterns and when i try add it with just putting in the name of the pattern, it does not display a pattern
