George Wheldon

Thanks for improving this article: very welcome. It does create a bit of an interesting situation, though: it seems fairly clear from the material you've added that Wheldon was generally known as "Fred(die)" on the football field. However, the two main cricket sources (Cricinfo and CricketArchive) agree on "George". Having said that, this newspaper article seems to imply that he was at least sometimes known as Fred on the cricket field as well. All that being so, I wonder whether you'd agree that moving the article to "Fred Wheldon" might be a reasonable action? After all, he played for England at football but never did at cricket, so if there is a clash then there would seem to be a reasonable case for prioritising football. (I've swapped the football and cricket sections in his article for just that reason.) Loganberry (Talk) 14:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, certainly G. F. Wheldon would certainly make things easier! Wisden's obituary of Wheldon is rather short, and the only mention of his name is in the title, which doesn't help. CricketArchive is usually fairly solid on this sort of thing, though, and does list him as George. All that being so, I think that football should take priority as mentioned above, so I've moved him to Fred Wheldon. Loganberry (Talk) 23:02, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Birmingham City F.C. GA review

Hey Struway, done your review and left a few comments on the talk page. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Birmingham/Southampton players

In March 1922 Birmingham and Southampton engaged in a 4-player transfer with Fred Foxall and Joe Barratt moving to Birmingham in exchange for Jack Elkes and George Getgood. I have created articles about all four players - can you add anything about their Birmingham careers? I realise that none of them had particularly long careers with Birmingham but anything you could add would be useful. Cheers and happy New Year. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 08:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
