[edit] Barça C

I had to get on Raymond because he has been sleeping at the wheel lately. In his edit for Barcelona C he said that the team was playing in the 1ª División Catalana eventhough the article states that the team was disbanded with a reference to a Marca article. Apparently, that decision sent a shockwave around Spain. I just hope that if Madrid C were to be relegated, the team would be allowed to fight its way back to the Tercera!

[edit] Cordial invitation

Hi, I have noticled that you have made a number of "good" edits to Argentine football related articles. I have also noted your stance on transfers in/out sections on the Wikiproject:Football talk page, and I fully agree with your piont of view. I was wondering if you would like to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Argentine football, any contributions would be greatly appreciated as there are not many of us at the moment. Kindest regards, King of the North East 19:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I would be very glad to join WikiProject Argentine football. I was actually thinking of asking to join even before your invitation. The problem is that I don't understand much Spanish, so I was wondering if you new of were to find English news on Argentine football? As for WikiProject Argentine football I was thinking of going through the squad lists and updating the squad templates. Best regards, Sebisthlm 19:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Have a look at the links at the bottom of the WP:ArF page, they should be helpful. I went through and updated the squads + templates a few weeks ago, I was waiting for the close of the transfer window before doing it again, but feel free to have a go at them. There is a table to keep updated on the project page, I will hopefully get a bot to update it automatically one day, I'll have to learn how to run a bot first though! Don't worry too much about the spanish language problem, with a few words you can go a long way, here are a few basic tips:
  • plantel=squad
  • jugador=player
  • altura=height
  • fecha nacimiento=date of birth
  • lugar nacimiento=place of birth
  • equipo=team
  • defensor=DF
  • arquero=GK
  • volante=MF
  • delantero=FW
  • partido(s)=game(s)
  • director tecnico (DT)=manager

[edit] ¿The best English site for news about Spanish football?

When you find one, let me know! LOL! The one I go to but the info isn't update frequently is soccer-spain. Found out about Barça C by accident. I was just surfing when all of a sudden, a search page popped up with the demise of Barcelona C, but I do not remember the site that reported the news. Ciao Raul17 06:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Molinaro

Hello, you recently added a disambiguation note to Édouard Molinaro leading to Cristian Molinaro. I think you did this because Molinaro was a redirect to Édouard. However, as a surname, it would be better to change the redirect into a disambiguation page for people with that surname. You can do that by clicking the link right below the title that says "redirected from XXXX," which will take you to the page that is redirected. Then edit that page, following the Disambiguation page manual of style. I made the change for you, you can see how it is done by comparing the history of Molinaro. Hope this helps you if it comes up again in the future. Rigadoun (talk) 18:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but usually with surnames one has to be pretty famous (meaning you would have heard of him) to have their surname redirect to them. Possibly Eduouard is more famous, but he's still not usually referred to by his last name alone, the way (say) Churchill or Mozart are--because they're the first person pretty much anyone would think of first. If you don't think of them first, let alone have heard of them, a disambiguation page is reasonable. Rigadoun (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:FOOTY

Hi Mate, we are staggering towards some kind of consensus at WP:FOOTY, please let us know what you think of the proposed notability criteria, regards King of the North East (T/C) 00:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Familjen

dear Sebisthlm, thank-you for your thinly-veiled sarcasm, but i feel you are getting your knickers in a knot over nothing. a "notability" tag just alerts people that the article needs more substantiation of its notability. it's not like the article was nominated for deletion or something — what's the problem? perhaps you could avoid this problem when you write new articles in future by assuring that the subject's notability is asserted before posting them. the onus for this is on the creator, after all. regards, tomasz. 15:39, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of footballers

Hi, you contributed to the discussion about football notability criteria in November, so you will be delighted/appalled that I have restarted the discussion here. Please give your opinion so that we can move towards formalising the criteria. Regards, King of the NorthEast 15:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Soccer Player Stats

Sorry, you posted on my talk like four months agoa dn I am just now replying lol. No, cup statistics don't count toward their stats. Look at the bottom of every stat box and it will say only league games. A lot of people think this and I have to keep fixing it lol. You can include any goals and appearances from cup competitions in the bio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Outsiderdf (talk • contribs) 22:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Archiving Footy

No problem, you weren't the only one last week, we have been having a busy month for deletions so the page can be cluttered. People chop off a few here and there. Anyway, it is simply a matter of copying the link over to the archive. I dump all of the cut text over to the archive and then copy the name on to the piped deletion link. If it is not an afd then include the acronym in the pipe. Then add the result of the discussion in italics after the link and you are set. So an example: TFD:Banana F.C. mascots (delete)

Really not that much to it. We maintain the archives so that editors can gauge previous consensus in deletion discussions when thinking about considering nominating an article. Thanks for helping out!! :) Woody (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all, looks good! Thanks again. Woody (talk) 22:09, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't list the PRODs, don't see the need as there is no benefit to be gained from them by other editors (unless you are an admin). There is no discussion to link to. Regards. Woody (talk) 10:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Associação Académica de Coimbra

Yes, it is indeed a multi-sports club, it is a registered mark with a registered logotype, and is internationally known by its official Portuguese name. Besides its role as a students' union of the University of Coimbra, it manages several sports departments - all called Associação Académica de Coimbra after the parent institution - which compete in some of the major Portuguese national championships and sports leagues. It doesn't make sense naming it in English when all of its departments are refered to as A. Académica de Coimbra.UEFA.com Yodaki (talk) 18:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rob Davies

Hi, just a couple of points regarding your edit to Rob Davies. Full club names should appear in the infobox, i.e. West Bromwich Albion, not West Bromwich. Also the word loan should not be in italics, according to the Wikipedia Football Project Player Manual of Style. Hope this is useful. Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 19:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

You raised some good points there. I must admit that I generally edit English football articles, so I was forgetting that others may have a more global view. But specifically in this case, "West Bromwich" is hardly ever used. "WBA" or "West Brom" may be used, but I much prefer the full version "West Bromwich Albion" wherever possible, and simply "Albion" within article text. "F.C." is not usually used for English clubs, except in the article title. Regards, --Jameboy (talk) 20:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Associação Académica de Coimbra 2

One user did it all wrong after has read your requests and surveys. It's a shame that someone is trying to ruin the work of others just to promote his own stupid, ignorant or biased view about one topic. I know you didn't agree with his actions. I know it isn't your fault but it really pissed me off. I hope someone would be able to revert all the mess he did. Yodaki (talk) 02:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I agree with your suggestion. It's better than user Shearer's. For him, Real Madrid should be referred to as Royal Madrid. I can't agree with such nonsense. Yodaki (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the Coimbra issue

Well, I've seen both WP:RM and the Talk:Coimbra_Academic_Association closure is frankly weird, it's clearly a "no consensus" case, especially noting the irrelevant claim the corresponding university article is placed under an English title (University of Coimbra), as Wikipedia is not based on status quo and nobody proved University of Coimbra is actually the right name for the subject's article. Personally I think an admin should always be non-partisan and avoid complicated interpretations which can hardly be seen as "consensus". However, I suggest you to open a discussion at WP:AN/I in order to start a wider discussion. --Angelo (talk) 14:57, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Villarreal

OK I made the move to Villarreal. Sorry for the confusion. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I know. It's an illness of some sort. :-D --WoohookittyWoohoo! 10:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seydou Keita (footballer)

Oh dear, I wish you hadn't made that move - though I understand perfectly why you did. One of the reasons I started making the changes to the various Keita articles this morning was that Seydou Keita (footballer) and Salif Keïta (footballer) are nephew and uncle, respectively, and so I believe their biographical articles ought to be titled in the same manner, i.e. both with or without the diacritical. I understood the elder's name, Salif Keïta - with diacritical - to be his most common variant, so opted to use the diacritical in both. If you prefer Keita without the diacritical, let's move Salif Keïta (footballer) to Salif Keita (footballer)... What do you think? Pinkville (talk) 16:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] French house

Regarding your contribution to the article, please keep in mind that the Fred Falke and Lifelike articles do not exist. You may wish to create these articles by clicking the red links, but please bear in mind that the articles must be created before they can be linked to in a list. Please see WP:WTAF for more information. Just64helpin (talk) 17:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah. Since your intent is to create the articles, that should be fine. Just64helpin (talk) 18:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Could you please just create the article first? Linking to nothing serves no purpose whatsoever, and creates the impression that redlinking sis encouraged. Please also note WP:3RR. Just64helpin (talk) 00:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
