Template moving

Hi there, I noticed you moved a template to Template:Fußball-Bundesliga (women) 2007-08. While I agree that the template name should reflect the name of the league as it is in wikipedia, please do not add season names to the templates. The templates are changed after every season. The reason for this is the following. If you had a new template for each season, you'd have to add it to the relevant club articles. In a little time, any club playing constantly at the same level would have dozens of league templates in its article. (E.g. Hamburger SV would have more than 40 Bundesliga templates) This is utterly impracticable. I'd therefore suggest you move the page to Template:Fußball-Bundesliga (women). Regards, Madcynic (talk) 15:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

A: Okay. I will have a look how that works, tomorrow. No time now, but I'll figure that out (I guess I know already how it will be done) and than change it back, tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.

A: Moved back and updated for the 2008-09 season.

Re: Bayern Munich GA review

It looks a lot better now. However, some paragraphs still go by uncited, including:

• "Since the 1920s the 1. FC Nuremberg"
• "These days Bayern considers itself a national club,"
• "Among the main advertising partners"
• Most of the "Training facility" section

But it's getting there! Cheers. Gary King (talk) 07:17, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Stephan Fürstner

I noticed you reverted a deletion on FC Bayern's wikipedia page. Do we know if Stephan Fürstner has been loaned out to any club like Christian Lell went to FFC Koeln or like Mats Hummels did to Burussia Dortmund? Kingjeff (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't mind if you copy our discussion to the talk page of Bayern's Wikipedia page. Kingjeff (talk) 02:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Kraft

There's nothing you can do to stop them deleting it, but on Sunday he will play a 3. Liga match, which passes notability, which means he won't be able to be deleted. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 09:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I keep deleting the article since it was previously deleted via AFD (case: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Ferry): the fact he is signed for Bayern Munich is not a proof of notability in itself, he must actually play a competitive game in order to be notable. Hofert and Rieß are not notable themselves for the same reason, so an AFD case about them can be easily opened as well. Feel free to recreate the article once he plays a competitive game in a fully professional league. --Angelo (talk) 12:57, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Article restored, I also added the source you gave me. Bye. --Angelo (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

You rated the article SC Verl as "Low / C". I certainly agree on the "Low" importance, but I'd like to hear what made you rate the article as "C" quality (so I can improve it). Thanks! -- DevSolar (talk) 09:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

move of germany's national football team

Hello. I did start a discussion on it here and actually you were the only one to comment. I thought you were in favor of the name change reading your comment, unless I misunderstood you. It could always be moved back. The name change was brought up here for the women's team. I can see their point, actually. --Pinkkeith (talk) 16:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the standardization for national teams as defined by the football WikiProject. I pointed this out to the editors discussing the women's national team. I assume that this does apply to both men's and women's teams. --Pinkkeith (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Logo use in DFB Pokal articles

Just a head's up. I've been removing team logos placed in the finals sections of annual DFB Pokal summaries because they are being tagged as non-compliant use by an image police bot. I'd be happy to see them stay, but I don't want to have to mess perpetually with the image enforcers either. Images (including logos) need to have a fair use rationale attached to them when they are used in an article.

Nice work, by the way, in putting those cup summaries together. Wiggy! (talk) 10:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I liked them, too. Oh well. I've just been pulling the logos down as I get notice from whatever image bot is currently complaining (as long as its legitimate) or adding FURS where I can. Thanks for the reply. Keep well. Wiggy! (talk) 18:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

DFB Pokal

The kits mainly come from the photo galleriers here [1] (only Bayern Munich, but I'm sure Google will turn up other clubs). Positions come from my own knowledge of the players. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 20:33, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Rickard Österberg

There's seems to be some confusion concerning Rickard Österberg's country. He's listed as a Swede at the list of Pro Tours and some parts of the 03-04 Pro Tour season where he's also listed as Norwegian. We should change this to one country or did he move during the PT season? The DCI has him listed as Norwegian, living in Oslo. Creet (talk) 20:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

German football championship 1933

Hello Odin, as the person who has created many of the DFB Pokal season articles, I was wondering whether you could have a llok at German football championship 1933. We are still missing almost all articles on the championship seasons, which is almost a little embaressing. I was wondering, whether we could come up with a common format and then create them, piece by piece. Much of it I've copied from the German article, some I've added myself. Your oppinion and input would be appreciated, especially in regards to the improvement of the layout. Thanks, EA210269 (talk) 05:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick feed-back, its just what I was after. Regarding the various points you brought up:

• I will change the results to ndashes, thats easy.
• No, the flags are not necessary, I get rid of them as well.
• I will link aet, thats simple, too.
• Linking players that have played in a German final seems a good idea. Many of them would have played for Germany and therefore deserve an article, anyway. I think, I stick with this. With the referee its a different matter, propably will de-link him.
• I usually separate sources and references in my articles. In sources, I list all websites and books I have used to write it while in references, I put the reflist template to have all inline-citation there by themselvs.
• Yeah, the prose in the article is a proplem. I would like to have some more and bettter stuff but I havn't found a good source that tells about the final yet.
• I don't rank quality or importance of my own artilces because it wouldn't be an unbiased assessment.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help, I will take it on board and make some alterations as soon as I'm done with my current work. Have a great day, EA210269 (talk) 07:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I have incooperated your suggestions and expanded it to German football championship 1932 as well. I propably won't have the time to go on to the other existing ones, but once we have a standard to go by, it should be easier. Thanks for everything, EA210269 (talk) 10:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Invite to Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Season article task force

As a current or past contributor to season articles within Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, I thought I'd let you know about the season article task force, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of season articles of all kind. If you would like to participate, join by visiting the task force page. Thanks!

The reason for this invitation is the attempt to establish a season guideline for club season articles. If you look at 2009–10 FC Bayern Munich season, Eintracht Frankfurt season 2009–10 and Hertha BSC season 2009–10, you will see that each of those articles has a different layout and different contents. In general, you could say that for each of these articles, which significantly obstructs the readability when jumping between season articles. In order to achieve a common standard, a discussion has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Season article task force#Club season articles. Please voice your opinion! --Soccer-holic^{I hear voices in my head...} 00:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Old-style rarities

I drew up the table of old-style rarities you asked about over on Talk:List of Magic: The Gathering sets. I haven't added it to the actual article because I'm too lazy to figure out where in the article to put it right now. I noticed some are some inconsistencies in the sources, which I noted; since you appear to know rather more about this than me, perhaps you can sort it out, or can find someone who can. --Sniffnoy (talk) 01:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

A little help?

I'm currently having a dispute over at Magic: The Gathering deck types. I know that you've done good work on these articles in the past, and I'd appreciate if you could take a look. Croctotheface (talk) 04:50, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate that you took a look. I didn't want to say anything in particular to bias you before you took a look, since I wanted to avoid canvassing. I'll be a little more forthcoming now that you're on the record. My main issue, as I've said on the talk page, is that BlueMage (who has basically acknowledged that he's the IP) refuses to let anyone edit his work, and then he refuses to work on a compromise on the talk page. As a result, I was willing to just revert him when maybe I should've asked you or someone else to weigh in sooner, but I didn't see what other point there was to make. As far as the specific wording, it's possible that mine is better or worse; I don't much care about that. As you said, it's all about what's better for the article. However, we can't have a situation where one guy tries to exercise complete control over the page, which is what he's tried to do.

The one thing I would quibble with is that it's definitely better to attribute the opinions to the specific authors (Ben Rubin has a WP page that we can link to, actually) compared to using some kind of passive-voice, weasel-worded statement like "some/many people believe."

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of All-time Fußball-Bundesliga table

The article All-time Fußball-Bundesliga table has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable per precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/All-time English Football League 1st Division Table.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Deletion review for 2011–12 Hannover 96 Season

As a Season article task force member, you might be interested in the Deletion review for 2011–12 Hannover 96 Season redirect.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: August 2017

Should the women's football task force become WikiProject: WOSO?

According to an op-ed in the recent Signpost, some editors think task forces and subgroups are dying in 2017. What do you think about forming our own WikiProject separate from WP:FOOTY? There's an on-going discussion of the potential pros and cons on the task force talk page. Input is welcome.

Recent developments New initiatives have been created for: FA WSL (England's top-division league) NCAA (American university teams, conferences, etc.) W-League (Australia's top-division league) Ongoing tournaments UEFA Women's Euro 2017 (July 16 – August 6, 2017) UEFA Women's Euro 2017 Final (August 6, 2017) 2017 Tournament of Nations (July 27– August 3, 2017) Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues 2017 National Women's Soccer League season (United States) ongoing 2017–18 Liga MX Femenil season (Mexico) ongoing 2017–18 W-League (Australia) starts in Sept. 2017–18 FA WSL (England) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Division 1 Féminine (France) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Frauen-Bundesliga (Germany) starts in Sept. 2017–18 Indian Women's League season (India) starts in Oct. Did you know? While WP:FPL lists only two women's top-division leagues as notable due to its "fully professional" criteria, did you know you can create an article on any player in any league as long as the references meet WP:GNG guidelines? Make sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}}. Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement? Add them to the Open Tasks page if you'd like and other editors may be able to help. Need tips, assistance, or resources from other WOSO editors? Leave a message on the task force talk page.

Thank you for your continued contributions to articles related to women's football / soccer (WOSO)!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour events, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richmond (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

WOSO Task Force News: April 2018

Women's Football / Soccer Task Force News: April 2018

Eniola Aluko of England (in white) and Jovana Mrkić (in red) of Montenegro, 2014 Hello WOSO editors! A few initiatives have been started with an emphasis on making more WOSO links blue (similar to the work that WikiProject Women in Red does) and filling in the gaps within various league, team, and player, etc. articles. If you're interested in collaborating with others to make more links blue, take a look at the initiatives listed in the box below. Sign up at the bottom of an initiative page and help grow the lists, add potential references, resources, and create the articles ... or create your own initiative. Did you know ... WP:GNG takes precedence over WP:NFOOTY (which only includes the players in 1 active women's league)? Often times there is enough media coverage that meets WP:GNG or other notability guidelines. For more information, see WP:WOSO#Notability and be sure to tag the new article talk page with: {{WP Women's sport|footy=yes}} Current and upcoming seasons for top-division leagues Czech Republic: 2017–18 Czech First Division ends Apr England: 2017–18 FA WSL ends May 20 Faroe Islands: 2018 1. deild kvinnur started Mar 11 France: 2017–18 Division 1 Féminine ends May 27 Germany: 2017–18 Frauen-Bundesliga ends Jun 2 Iceland: 2018 Úrvalsdeild kvenna (football) starts May 3 Ireland: 2018 Women's National League started Mar 11 Israel: 2017–18 Ligat Nashim ends Apr 28 Italy: 2017–18 Serie A ends May 12 Japan: 2018 Nadeshiko started Mar 21 Mexico: 2017–18 Liga MX Femenil season ends May 5 Moldova: 2017–18 Moldovan Women Top League started Apr 1 Netherlands: 2017–18 Eredivisie ends May 25 Scotland: 2018 Scottish Women's Premier League started Feb 11 South Korea: 2018 WK League starts Apr 23 Spain: 2017–18 Primera División ends May 13 Sweden: 2018 Damallsvenskan started Apr 14 United States: 2018 National Women's Soccer League season started Mar 24 Current season articles needing creation Albania: 2017–18 Kampionati Femrave started in Oct Algeria: 2017–18 Algerian Women's Championship started in Sept Austria: 2017–18 ÖFB-Frauenliga started in Aug Belgium: 2017–18 Super League Vrouwenvoetbal (nl) started in Sept China: 2018 Chinese Women's Super League season started in Apr Cyprus: 2017–18 Cypriot First Division started in Nov Finland: 2018 Naisten Liiga started Mar 24 Northern Ireland: 2018 Women's Premiership starts Apr 18 Norway: 2018 Toppserien started Mar 24 Portugal: 2018 Campeonato Nacional de Futebol Feminino (pt) ends May 19 Romania: 2017–18 Romanian Superliga ends Jun 2 Switzerland: 2018 Nationalliga A ends May 26 Vietnam: 2018 Vietnam Women's Football Championship started Mar 10 Wales: 2017-18 Welsh Premier Women's Football League ends May 18 Have some new articles in mind or see some that need improvement?
