[edit]

Hello, when you want to link to the article about a defender, please do not link to defender, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as defender (football) by writing out [[defender (football)|defender]] Regards, -- Jeff3000 22:20, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not use club badges in player articles

[edit]

Hi Dapsv, I assume you didn't know not to, but it is forbidden to use copyrighted images, like club badges, in articles that are not about what they describe. For example using the Liverpool F.C. badge on the Liverpool F.C. article is fine. Using the badge on the Premier League article is not. Using the badges on player articles is also not allowed. Please don't add anymore, it's a real pain to remove them again.

If you could start removing them yourself it'd be appreciated.

cheers,

First of all, at the end of United's game against Sunderland, they were in 1st place. Second, upcoming fixtures in any competition organised by the Premier League, Football League, Scottish Premier League or Scottish Football League are copyrighted and must not be displayed in our articles. Therefore, I have removed the upcoming fixtures you added to the Man Utd 2009–10 article. – PeeJay 09:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

World Heritage Infoboxes

[edit]

Hi. As another editor pointed out above, you really should be using edit summaries to explain your changes. I reverted a change you made to the Giant's Causeway article as I could see no valid reason for blanking the infobox. Can you explain why you removed it?

Match report events

[edit]

Hi, I see you moved Kolo's yellow card booking in the Sunderland game onto a separate line from Micah's booking. Since I was the person that combined them on the same line, you need to know that that was not an oversight on my part. The two bookings are for the same event ... the awarding of the penalty for Micah's foul on Bent. Richards got his card for committing the foul while Touré got his for protesting the penalty award. I see no problem with combining icons on the same line with the same timings when they refer to what is essentially the same event (such as a goal scorer that also gets booked for taking his shirt off while celebrating the goal). I combined the events only to save a line in the match summary since City had quite a few more reported events in its column than Sunderland had in its corresponding column ... if the double-booking had been for Sunderland I would probably have left the related events displayed one per line.

I don't feel particularly strongly about this issue either way, but others may do because there are some editors of the season article that have already stated that they feel that the sub and carding info. belongs only in the referenced match report. Consequently, I think you probably should raise the topic on the season article's Talk Page and solicit other opinions before going ahead with any other edits along the same lines. We are in new territory here with these new collapsible match reports and therefore some ground rules need to be established for what is and what is not considered good style, or wastes too much space, etc. This would be as good an issue as any to start the ball rolling. Also, if you want to put some time in on this area of the article there are still quite a few pre-season games still waiting to have their match events added rather than your spending your time tinkering around with what is already in pretty good shape. Mancini's Lasagne invite to Harry Talk 19:33, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the match events should be listed in a chronological time-flow manner, and I know that I am not alone in this view. Consequently, all of Ade's 3 goals can all be combined together under a single icon on the same line because there were no carding or substitution events interspersed between them. But that is a fairly rare situation. For instance, if City's first substitution had occurred before his third goal then the first two goals would have had to be separated from the third one, with that substitution shown in between, and so on. That is the situation that applies to the two Tévez goals that you combined, which is why I reverted them.
As I stated above, we are somewhat in new territory this season with the collapsible match reports, and the match events do not necessarily have to be listed in a time-flow manner if that is what the majority of editors desire. For instance, all the events for each game could be listed together by type ... first the goals (if any), then the cards (if any), then any substitutions. But whatever style is agreed upon it has to be done consistently across all the match report collapsibles. Right now, all of the match reports completed to date have been executed in the time-flow manner, and the edit you just did contradicts that style without conforming to any other style. That doesn't mean that the current style is set in concrete, nevertheless it does now represent an established status quo.
If you wish to change that status quo you will need to raise this topic on the season article Talk Page and ballot the opinions of other editors to see what they think - as I suggested to you in my first message above (to which you did not even have the courtesy to respond). Making random changes to what has already been done is not the way to go about effecting such a change of mind set. There is arguably no obvious "best" style in this particular situation - meaning that a total consensus on a preferable style may never be possible - but whatever style that is adopted has to be consistent throughout the article. Otherwise we are just going to crawl all over each other as editors and the article will look like the product of a giant free-for-all.
Additionally, there may be some editors that feel there should be a ball icon for every goal that is scored, since each carding and substitution event also has its own icon. Which is why I entered Ade's hat trick the way that I did. Once again, this is just a question of style. As is which events can be combined on the same line versus which events must be entered on a new line (the subject of my first message above). There are no 100% correct answers to any of these issues, but IMO a less than perfect style that is consistently adhered to is much preferable to a free-for-all SNAFU. We all need to be singing from the same sheet here. Mancini's Lasagne invite to Harry Talk 19:58, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Van Persie

[edit]

You restored an error to 2010–11 UEFA Champions League knockout phase by changing "Van Persie" to "van Persie". Dutch capitalization rules indicate that family names with the "van", when they stand alone, are to be capitalized but not when they are part of the full name. That means "Robin van Persie" is correct and "Van Persie" is correct while "van Persie" is not. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:57, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
