[edit] TFC Roster
[edit] Rookie Signings
I would go with what the TFC website says about their roster. Kingjeff (talk) 20:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, I had completely forgotten to check the roster page at TFC for confirmation. I guess it's probably that it is so infrequently updated. Lucky Strike (talk) 21:16, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke
[edit] Columbian Players
There are the sources about the colombian players at Toronto FC.

I posted the links in this forum I belong to and we worked through it and found the relevant information. But thanks for taking the time to message me. Lucky Strike (talk) 14:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke
[edit] TFC Changes List
This is mainly for the off-season when they are actually making these moves. Kingjeff (talk) 15:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
---
Wikinews articles can be linked to the TFC article to serve the same purpose. Kingjeff (talk) 15:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

How about the signings of Laurent Robert and Amado Guevara? These were made in-season; what's your take on those? In your opinion, should there be a list for them (and other potential roster moves during the season)? Lucky Strike (talk) 15:25, 11 April 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke
---
I was thinking more along the lines of the Wikinews template I added to the roster section. Kingjeff (talk) 15:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
---
I just saw and it works for me. Very nice, good work! Lucky Strike (talk) 15:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC) Lckystrke

Of course next off-season there will be more along the side there. Kingjeff (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rohan Ricketts's number
His jersey number is given on the press release announcing his signing from TFC's official website. Just scroll to the bottom, and it's there:

Yeah, I noticed shortly after I sent you the question. Thanks for the quick reply. Lucky Strike (talk) 21:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)Lckystrke
[edit] What's up with the TFC page?
What's up with the TFC entry being protected? I went to add Guevara to the roster and couldn't get in. If anything, I would suggest it's protected such that only registered users can edit it. I'm not sure if you have anything to do with it, but you can trust me with editing privileges, if only for the work I've been doing on the records page! - themodelcitizen (on a different comp at the mo) 74.210.117.149 (talk)

Yeah, I was the one who requested it be protected from editing because of an edit war on the subject of the nickname "Redcoats". However, I wasn't the one who chose to fully protect it, that was the moderator's decision, given that it's an edit war which was getting pretty nasty. Further, he protected it for 72 hours so it will be automatically unprotected at 1144 hrs (UTC) on Friday. That too was his decision. I intend to update the page with the latest information when it comes unlocked. If you get there before me to edit it, that's fine, but I'll be swinging by to take care of it so you don't have to worry about it. Lucky Strike (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Lckystrke

Ah, makes sense. Some of the fans are a little too overzealous with the littlest things... I don't think Redcoats is really an accurate nickname anyways. Now Biancorossi or Grigiorossi I like... Themodelcitizen (talk)
[edit] "Redcoats"
This is a friendly warning: The edit you made is risking reigniting an edit war. Essentially, this is the breakdown of the debate (if you can call it that, more like a screaming match):
1. 75% (several polls have been conducted) do not believe "Redcoats" to be a nickname because it is not used by the majority of fans nor the media. 25% like the nickname.
2. The majority says that the minority is trying to force the nickname on everyone and is selfish for not accepting the majority rule. The minority believe that 25% is still a significant minority.
3. Because of these two viewpoints which were thoroughly discussed/argued/yelled about on the various forums, it sparked an edit war which had to be stopped by a page protection. We've come to a compromise that "Redcoats" should be left out of the title box (because it is not used as extensively as "Reds" or "TFC") but that it should mentioned that "Redcoats" has been accepted by some in the body of the article.
4. Although I disagree with using "Redcoats" as you do (and I do think it is an arrogant minority trying to force this artifical sounding name on everyone), Wikipedia is supposed to be encyclopedic in that it should reflect the subject as much as possible. To avoid sparking another edit war, I'd like to ask you a favour: can you yourself revert the edit you made? This is not meant to be bossy or insulting, it's just that if you do it (as opposed to someone else), it avoids the appearance that each side is arrogantly trying to impose its opinion by overwriting the previous edit. We've reached a consensus, but only after ugly debates and we're hoping to avoid a repeat. I hope you understand what I'm getting at, and I know this was a good faith edit.

The page was locked for 3 days last week. Talk:Toronto_FC#Nicknames During this period of time, there was virtually no discussion - and no coherent discussion on the talk page. If people want to debate it, that is the place. What I removed didn't even make sense - it implied that this nickname had occurred during a 10-day period? That's hardly encylopeadic - perhaps it was just badly written. If this is a valid nickname for the fans (and not the team), shouldn't it be in the Toronto FC fans section (and/or on Toronto FC fans) rather than the Naming section. And it should also really have a reference. Though given the poorly referenced state of the article, I could live with just moving it to the correct section, if others thought appropriate. Nfitz (talk) 22:11, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I was the one who requested the page protection because of the issue and I probably should have mentioned that the discussion was done on a separate forums, which of course you wouldn't have known, but that's my mistake, I should have mentioned it. As for referencing, you've got a point, it's not but neither are the other two (Reds and TFC) so nobody bothered with it. Further, "Redcoats" references the team as opposed to any group of fans of Toronto FC, thus its placement. Finally, the "Redcoats" nickname didn't just come out of nowhere in the last ten days but was often discussed during the off-season, as early as January, if I recall correctly. Again, this was done on the forums so those who don't read them wouldn't know this. Like I said earlier, I am opposed to the "Redcoats" because it's pretty artificial being shoved in our faces by a select few so I won't be upset if it's not reinstated. Anyway, the point of my contacting you was not to discredit your work, just a heads-up that it's a touchy situation. Hope this clears up some of your concerns.

That would be part of the problem - the text I deleted, said the fans were called Redcoats - not the team! I watch the team, and I've been to games. I've never heard or seen the team called Redcoats. So I'm loathe to restore the text, unless there is something that can be referenced. I don't even understand what was written on the talk page - I can't parse it. I'll let others change ... perhaps this time they'll say what they mean. Thanks for the heads up. Nfitz (talk) 04:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] MLS Standings Debate
Thanks for joining the discussion and the joke on the 2008 MLS season talk page. It looks like it's a deadlock in both the discussion and vote. Kingjeff (talk) 16:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
---
Thanks for the appreciation. Part of why I got into this article is because the MLS does such a crappy job at applying their own tie-breakers, even though they take a day longer than we do to get the standings up on their site. It really is a pet peeve of mine, and I'm glad to know that someone else is annoyed as well. Have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 21:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sidorkst
I see you have many violations as well. What makes you so special to tell me to stop using Wikipedia? Don't tell me what to do because it is really anoying and I'm sure you dont like people telling you what to do. Sidorkst (talk) 14:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
---
1. Please don't make up stories about me.
2. I never told you to stop using Wikipedia, merely to cease vandalizing.
3. Rules are rules.
4. I don't appreciate that you edited my post to make it seem like I insulted you.

[edit] Texas Fest
Lol, didn't like my edit listing third in the Texas Pro Soccer Festival as an honour? Originally my idea was to include 1st to 3rd ("medalling") in any competition, but I'm not so sure. Once we get the Canada Cup under our belt I think maybe we should take out the Runners up spot from the CCC as well, to be honest it's more of a space-filler. - Themodelcitizen (talk) 02:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
---
Hope you weren't offended. Normally, I'd agree with medalling but 3rd of 4 doesn't seem like that great of an accomplishment. I also concur on the CCC, and I'd add that in the future (once the Canadian Championship is done with) we should probably only stick to "real" matches, excluding friendly tournaments and/or pre-season ones.
