There should not be "The" in the title according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name). Thanks. --Neo-Jay 20:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:XuXinliang.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:XuXinliang.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 15:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copa Libertadores
Hi, I saw your article Qualifying method of Copa Libertadores in Argentina, I think you should mention that the holders qualify automatically, and unlike Europe, this means that the nation receives an extra place in the tournament to acommodate the holder. Regards, EP 02:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] League Champions of Argentina
Hi Salt: Thanks for the comment. I agree with your suggestion; my motivation in the discussion was to clarify the difference between "league titles" and "official championships" in Argentina. The original article didn't say "league" champions, that's why I added Gimnasia. Now it says "league champions" (which is what I suggested to do in my original comments), so I'm ok with that. However, there are three other 'official champions' in the AFA site (Atlanta, Boca, and Gimnasia), who won official though non-regular cups. I think that if you add a new section for these cups everything would be covered then. Thanks again.Nordisk varg (talk) 04:06, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Salt for your work! I'll have a look later and add material if it's needed. This link (http://www.sentimientobohemio.com.ar/copasuecia43.htm) has quite a bit of material on the Suecia Cup won by Atlanta. It's in Spanish; let me know if you need translation for it. Thanks again.Nordisk varg (talk) 18:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

- Hi again! Regarding your question and the quote: Yes, in Argentina all teams are defined as "small/little" (equipos chicos="little teams") except for Boca, River, and San Lorenzo (from Buenos Aires) and Independiente & Racing (from Avellaneda, a suburban city just across La Boca). These are called "Los cinco grandes"=The Big Five. Many "equipos chicos" won championships in the amateur era, but starting 1931 the "Big Five" have monopolized them. So, it is true, Atlanta (one of the many "small teams" from Buenos Aires) was the first one to win an official cup aside from those five. Prior to Atlanta, the "equipo chico" that came closer to become a champion was Banfield in 1951 (a team known as El Taladro="The tree-boring beetle"), who actually tied with Racing. After 1968, it has been a little more common for other "small teams" to win a title. Some argue that the "Sixth Big" should be Velez or Rosario Central, but this is partly for the rather unsuccessful last 30 years of a "big one": Racing. I'll have a look at your section later today. Take care.Nordisk varg (talk) 16:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
