[edit] Current

I'm not good at Wiki, but can someone add one of those links to their current season in the top right corner, Juventus F.C. 2007-08 season? ~agiamba —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.81.212.123 (talk) 06:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nickname

On the Seven Sisters disambiguation page it says that in Italian football, the Seven Sisters refer to the seven largest clubs in Serie A: AC Milan, Internazionale, SS Lazio, Fiorentina, Juventus, Parma AC and AS Roma who traditionally take up the first seven positions in Serie A.

I've read somewhere that the nickname 'Old Lady' derived from the fact that Juventus is the oldest of the seven clubs. Could someone verify his. There's no mention of this in the nickname section. -- BestEditorEver 06:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, the Seven Sisters definition started to be used by the Italian media in the late 1990s, and now is no longer used after Fiorentina's cancellation in 2002 and Parma's recent financial troubles (and Parma were promoted first to Serie A only in the early 1990s, so they have no top-flight tradition at all until then). As the Old Lady nickname has been used since much earlier, I don't think this is the right reason. I don't really know why the club is so called, in any case, and I didn't find anything interesting from a quick search on the web. --Angelo 08:12, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
That would explain why it's not in the article. Thanks. -- BestEditorEver 11:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

That isn't the reason for the Old Lady nickname... I'll cut and paste the reply I gave from the archives when this was asked before;

The "Old Lady" is a nickname they've had since the 1930s.
Before that they just had the Lady part (Signora in Italian, Madama in Piemontese), from what I gather it was used in the same way as a man may refer to his car affectionatly as "she". And obviously it ties in with Juventus' other nickname as the girlfriend of Italy, because since the 1920s lots of workers from the South of the country came North to work in the Agnelli families Fiat factory and supported the club, so refering to the club like it was a woman wasn't anything new.
The "Old" part refers to the age of many major star players at the time in the 1930s Luis Monti, Umberto Caligaris, Raimundo Orsi, Virginio Rosetta, etc were all around 33/32 years old while with the club at the same time. Its a pun in a sense, because the word Juventus means "youth". Hope that clarifies somewhat. - The Daddy 14:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. That resolves my question. -- BestEditorEver 16:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Fidanzata technically means fiancee --Carpediem33880 (talk) 00:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Juventus old badge.png

Image:Juventus old badge.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Juventus' History in Serie A, Coppa Italia, and European cups

Is there a section in these pages that details Juventus' history by year for each of the above categories? For example, take the Champions' League (and old European Cup). I there a list, by year, of what Juventus did, where it got eliminated etc etc.? Same for Serie A, a list of where it placed every year. Does all this exist, and if not, where is the best place for it? Juve2000 (talk) 23:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
