Club names updated for all provinces[edit]

Recently I did an effort to check and correct those club names in the article, being mis-spelled in the previous logs published by SAFA. Finally the club names were also checked and searched for in the wiki-database, and for around 5 of the previous "red-link", it was possible to find a "blue-link" and redirect to that. It took me quiet some time, and this is why I found it appropriate to bump a note, that this "update work" now has been done for all provinces. Danish Expert (talk) 13:20, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Improved log layout (and how we should list renamed clubs)[edit]

Logs for all provinces now include a green colour for the winner, and a red colour for the relegated teams. Moreover, the bottom of the tables now also include two lines to list the "joining clubs" and "leaving clubs" for the next season. Another change, was to start noting a parenthesis behind all those clubs deciding to rename themself after the season (of which the majority represent a sell of their franchise to another club). After looking into the matter, and comparing with the data from RSSSF, I found out that SAFA at least for the 2009-10 season decided to rename the previous club names, with those names applying for 2010-11. The practise of SAFA is of course wrong and inappropriate, as we in all Wikipedia articles have an established guideline, that all entities with multiple names, should always be named with the name that applied at the given time -of which we refer to. Never-the-less, with the different approach by SAFA, it was possible to rather quickly compile the set of all name changes, going from 2009-10 to 2010-11.
