[edit] Football interrest

Hello and welcome! I see you've made quite a few edits to football related subjects, feel free to join us at the WikiProject on Football, where we try to organize our football-related contributions. (One note, standard name for categories on players is <CLUB> players instead of <CLUB> footballers. :) – Elisson • Talk 21:46, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I do realize the problem, although I do also have a solution to the problem of clubs with several sections. I've done it with the Swedish clubs, and I have noticed it elsewhere too, and that is to give each notable section its own article. In that case, there should be a general page (a sort of disambiguation page), which gives basic club info and links to the sections. See for example Djurgårdens IF (which has equally famous hockey and football sections, thus a disambiguation page at the generic club title), with Djurgårdens IF Fotboll and Djurgårdens IF Hockey as section articles. Also note how the players of the football section has the category named after the section article title. In cases where one section is much more famous than the others, that section is placed under the generic club name. See for example IFK Göteborg, which also provides a link to the disambiguation page with the other sections. In the Panathinaikos case, I'd like to see the football section at Panathinaikos FC, and the category named Category:Panathinaikos FC players. However this is probably something we should discuss at the WikiProject before doing anything that radical. I don't fully understand your last question about new club lists, though. Care to explain a little better to this stupid Swede? :) – Elisson • Talk 22:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Ah, yes, please do. :) – Elisson • Talk 23:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Howells

Hi Benjy. I noticed a lot of POV in the last two paragraphs of the David Howells article. Rather than add the {{POV-check}} tag or butcher the article by removing it myself, I thought I'd ask if you would like to improve it, seeing as you wrote the original and clearly know much more than I do. I hope you don't think I'm being patronising. ;o)  Slumgum T. C.   02:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football club player lists

If they have signed a contract with the first team, then, IMO, they should be included in the player category, however I don't know if that is what you mean when you say "list"? – Elisson • Talk 19:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

If they had a contract with the first team, then I would say yes. – Elisson • Talk 18:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Avi Nimni

Hello, you changed his full name to "Aviyahu Nimni", but that's not true, his name is just "Avi Nimni". Is there any reason you did that? ⌠Yellow up⌡ 13:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
