Nationality transfers

Maar wat voor Susan de Kleine geldt, geldt voor bijna alle betrokken sporters. Bart Veldkamp, Marnix ten Kortenaar, Jos Lansink, Steffen Wesemann enz. hebben allemaal een dubbele nationaliteit: één van het land waar ze ooit voor uitkwamen, en één van het land waar ze nu voor uitkomen. Misschien is het beter om Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports en haar dochters in te schakelen, om te kijken hoe die denken over:
1. De criteria voor de list of nationality transfers; en
2. De verhouding tussen de nationality transfers en de dual nationality.
Ik heb wel contact gehad met de twee grondleggers van de List of nationality transfers in football, maar ik kreeg van één een halve reactie (niet zo gek, want die criteria zijn ongeveer anderhalf jaar geleden opgesteld, het is logisch dat ze niet precies meer weten hoe en wat), en van de ander nog helemaal niet.

Naja, dat weet ik dus niet of dat zo is. Ik weet bijvoorbeeld dat als iemand Nederlander wordt, diegene in principe zijn/haar originele nationaliteit verliest. In andere landen daarentegen schijnen ze daar veel minder strict in te zijn en kan het dus zijn dat een nationality transfer ook een dubbele nationaliteit oplevert, terwijl het bij andere inderdaad een transfer is en de originele daarmee dus vervalt. Maar goed, ik heb geen verstand van dit soort zaken en hoe die nu eigenlijk werken, maar had gehoopt dat jij er misschien iets meer over wist. SportsAddicted | discuss 23:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Garrinchab&w.jpg

I agree this does not count as a promotional image, but I didn't know much enough about the policies when I uploaded this image. Anyways, this is a deceased historical figure and no free alternative is available, nor can one be created, so I guess this is still a legal fair use image, although the rationale has to be changed. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 22:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Note that just because someone is dead, it doesn't means we have a legal blanket permission to use any copyrighted picture of this person. Indeed, the fact that someoneis not available for pictures actually increases the value of the existing copyrighted images, and weakens fair use claims. We should be carefull when selecting pictures of deceased ones. Best regards, --Abu badali ^(talk) 00:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I understand that, but what makes this picture unable to use to describe the deceased person in question? I can't find a reason why this would not qualify compared to others which do. SportsAddicted | discuss 00:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

The copyrights of this image is what makes it "unable to be used to describe the deceased person in question". The image belong to a company (Corbis) that charges anual fees for individuals who want to use one of its images. Wikipedia content, on the other side, is supposed to be free for anyone to use how many time they please for any reason. ---- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abu badali (talk • contribs) 05:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

OK, I don't know Corbis, but from your comment I assume it's somehow the same sort of company as Getty Images is. That's a pity, but in that case we can't indeed do nothing about it. SportsAddicted | discuss 08:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Cue sports

Brilliant job on Cue sports at the 2006 Asian Games! NB, you might want to join WikiProject Cue sports - we can certainly use more editors with your attention to detail and thoroughness! — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 19:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, but I already have the project on my watchlist, however I'm not too keen on joining project like this as I'm interested in almost all sports and it would be hard to keep up if I would be a contributing member in these groups. I just do my things on Wikipedia and that will also mean that I work on cue sports every now and then :) Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 19:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

BWF Super Series

SportsAddicted, i know you are the helpful person. Can i ask you to copyedit the BWF Super Series? there is very long, you can work it slowly or reject to do so, is never mind. However, if you willing to help, thanks and appreciated. --Aleenf1 17:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I will not reject that :) Although my English isn't the best either I will have a look at it and give it my best. Unfortunately not now, but within the next few days :) It depends on my time and schedule, but I promise to have a look at it. SportsAddicted | discuss 01:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

calendar of future events

I can't find the page where all the future events are listed... --Nitsansh 10:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The already stored events can be found at Calendar of current and future sports events/HS, while the others I collect from sites day by day via the sites listed at User:SportsAddicted/NextUp. Anyways, I was a few days away and have to see wether I can keep up with keeping it this detailed. Otherwise we should continue with only the bigger events or so. What do you think?

Barnstar (a bit late, but still...)

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		I am a bit late, but Onomatopoeia, hereby award you with the Working Man's Barnstar award for all the time and effort you spent bettering the Feyenoord Rotterdam article, especially on January 23, 2007. I hereby want the same for Helmond Sport :D! —Onomatopoeia 12:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, your award was well-deserved. About Helmond Sport, it was more on a lighter side :D I follow Dutch soccer on NOS, and once talked with my Dutch colleague (Roda JC fan). He joked that losing to Helmond Sport — one of the tiniest clubs in the Netherlands — is seen as one of the worst insults in Dutch professional soccer. Seeing their utterly dreadful results (wikipedia.nl "Maar Helmond Sport komt van ver, want op dit moment staan ze tweede van onder en zal er nog heel wat veranderen moeten."), I have developed a soft spot for HS, just like for your "certified superplayer" Clyde Best. If you don't improve the Helmond Sport article, ok, if you do, even better! :D —Onomatopoeia 09:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Haha, that's a fun story, good to see things like these happen all over the world even for tiny clubs like Helmond Sport. I'll see what I can do for you :) SportsAddicted | discuss 19:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
