Re Pictures
Hey there, no need to say thanks, you have obviously put in a great deal of work to get the wiki where it is so far; I am pleased if I can help out a little. I had actually been toying with the idea of starting a historical GFC site myself, until I came across the wiki. Have uploaded some club player portraits from 1999, have a few more bits and peices, will upload when I get the chance.
Cheers.
Pictures
Hi mate.
Thanks for the work you have been doing on the wiki, much appreciated. The photos you have uploaded are excellent.
Let us know if you have any queries, but you seem to be going great guns.

Typos and Spelling
Hi mate.
I am probably the last one that should attempt to correct spelling as my own is pretty atrocious. When I do edit spelling it is because I have spotted something that is a typo and while in edit mode I look at any other things that are underlined in red. To explain that, I use Firefox browser and have a dictionary Add-on with it that checks spelling using Australian English. Anything that the browser thinks is mis-spelt is underlined in red.
I notice you changed back a couple of my edits in the 1983 article. I changed "winless" but can agree that it is sometimes used. "Aweful" however is not correct. Feel free to double check, but there is no "e" in awful.

Hi Ranga,
I swear I didn't even realise that you had made those changes, if I had I would have left them. I am the world's worst speller and if I realised you had made changes I would have left them! I just thought that I was correcting something I had written originally.

Re your question: "Anyone know how to "embed" youtube rather then just have a link (might look better?"
WikiMedia deliberately does not embed external images (although you can link to them). The only way to display videos would be to upload them.

Recent Spam
Thanks for your help with blanking any spam you spot.
Just to clue you in, I have messaged Nai about the spam problem we are having. He often takes a few days to get onto things, but once he does I guess we will be approving new Editors before they can add anything. That should stop our spam pretty much.
Ranga (aka Quentin)
No worries Quentin, approving editors sounds like a good solution. Mick.
