[edit] Welcome

MBisanz Good luck, and have fun. --MBisanz ^talk 07:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page

Yea, you did the right thing. Basically Cluebot has a list of rubric and it saw a new user cutting out 80% of an article, so it reverted. You can remove any warnings from your own talk page, so feel free to edit that section and cut out his warning. Good work BTW. MBisanz ^talk 03:09, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brackets

No idea really. I would just start searching for "Template:..." and eventually you'll find what you're looking for or see something close and the article will have a link to a category page. That's what I did when I was making some templates for the Champions League and UEFA Cup articles. Good luck. -- Grant.Alpaugh 19:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian articles

Hey, Neil, I appreciate your support in the debate, but I'm supporting the change to W-L-T, and so should you. In US and Canadian sports (NHL, MLS, USL, CFL, NFL, etc.) we use W-L-T and so should the articles about those sports. As long as everything transitions to the US and Canadian standard (i.e. Away-Home too), I think we should move to the more widely used format in our countries. I hope you won't fight the transition to that format in those articles. -- Grant.Alpaugh 19:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Central American Groups Stage

In others central american countries, like Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador they play round robin on a single group (at least in the first stage). In Costa Rica (were I live), there is a group draw before each tournament conducted by UNAFUT, and they put the most popular and stronger teams (like Saprissa and Alajuelense) in differents groups, so the groups remain balanced. They switched mid season so the others teams can have at least one home game against the aforementioned teams. Herauseo28 (talk) 18:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WDL discussion

Hey Neil, question about the discussion, is the vote changing just MLS tables from WLT to WDL or like serie a or la liga pages to WLT as well. I didnt really read the whole discussion, it's waaaay too long, and I don't feel like reading all that lol --Muppeteer (talk) 05:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CONCACAF Champions League 2008-09

Hey, I think your idea is good as far as how to organize the different rounds, but until that information is officially released by CONCACAF, a simple list of the teams that qualified should suffice. I think my layout does a better job of showing both rounds in the same format. -- Grant.Alpaugh 17:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] You felt violated?

You felt violated because you have claimed ownership over the Candadian Championship article. I appreciate that you've done more work than anyone on those articles, but you must remember that if the community decides to make a change to articles, you have to respect consensus. I know you were just fooling around, but that is a bad habit to get into. Anyway, have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 23:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

When I say there was consensus, I'm in no way talking about a vote. Voting doesn't mean anything on WP. We agreed to represent North American soccer articles in W-L-T and Away-Home because MLS/USL does so, we did so because that is the format used predominantly in North Amerian sports, even in soccer. That was the logic behind the decision, and either way your claiming of ownership over the article is unacceptable on WP. -- Grant.Alpaugh 01:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
