Seattle Sounders FC

I'd be the 1st to know since I'm from Seattle, if they put the name down as Freddie Ljungberg, then the page should be named Freddie Ljungberg, that's what I've been trying to tell you guys. – Michael (talk) 19:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care, the page should be "Freddie Ljungberg", you're making a big deal about nothing. – Michael (talk) 22:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be Freddie Ljungberg, I don't care if his nickname is Freddie. Example, Jô is Joao Alves de Assis Silva's nickname, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, a lot of pages have nicknames for their titles, so I don't get why you would question me titling Fredrik Ljungbergs page as Freddie Ljungberg, that's what I ment by not caring, you understand? – Michael (talk) 00:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Until now. Seattle Sounders FC. – Michael (talk) 03:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does this change it? – Michael (talk) 04:00, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it's Fredrik Ljungberg and Seattle has his name as Freddie Ljungberg, that makes it all confusing, as I said earlier is that I changed it to Freddie Ljungberg because the Seattle Sounders put his name down as Freddie Ljungberg. Things change dude. – Michael (talk) 17:30, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say cheers for your help on the refdesk question I had about Xbox360 HDMI cable - I have since bought one for under £5 and it works perfectly, thanks for the help. 194.221.133.226 (talk) 11:03, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yossef Muadi, a Arab citizens of Israel#Druze was killed fighting along with the Israeli army

He was corporal Yossef Muadi [1], a corporal in the Israeli army (read the inter-wikipedia-link in the title above on Israeli Druze, they align themselves with the Jews since Israel's creation and as opposed to Israeli Muslims fight in the Israeli army, many of them are high ranking officers

Over-achievers

Great work on the box and intro. Rather than cut and paste the two sandboxes and then go live I'm just going to be bold and do that straight into a list on mainspace at List of football players with top domestic, continental and international honours. If this link is blue, you know what to do... Ben Mac Dui 19:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Observations

I note with interest your comments at 2008-2009 Israel Gaza conlict. You state that you do not "buy" UN anti-Israel bias. The reason why many feel the UN is indeed anti-Israel, is because of the disproportionate number of United Nations resolutions concerning Israel. This is due to the Arab-Muslim block who are naturally biased aginst Israel. Secondly, you mention "if any other country in the world bombed a school filled with refugee families killing the same number civilians, it would cause an outcry." And rightly so. I have not compared reactions, but would suggest that the international resonse to the Israeli school attack would be more widespread than, let's say the Vaharai Bombing attack. I think this kind of hypocrisy gets at some Israel supporters. Regards, Chesdovi (talk) 00:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

La liga squad templates

I was under impression that only first team players were to be listed on squad templates which means basicly there should only be twenty-five players listed plus those who have injury exemptions like van Nistelrooy & Diarra. Rfef states that players with kit numbers between 1-25 are on the first team while those players from the reserves and youth squads have kit numbers from 26 on upwards. Bueno & Palanca plus any other reserve or youth team members who are called to the first team are to be listed in the "from the youth section". Raul17 (talk) 19:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Italian and English rules are different from the Spanish. But if you think about it, would it make sense to list every reserve player who makes a first team appearance? Raul17 (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great work on this. The new layout is quite a bit cleaner, and makes the scoreline stand out. Cheers! Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:49, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: a or an?

It's "an" because the word that immediately follows the indefinite article begins with a vowel sound. It just sounds wrong to say "a association football league", just like it would be wrong to say "a elephant". That's why. – Pee Jay 01:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox football match

I've come across a problem with this template. Take a look at 1983 FA Cup Final and you may see what I mean. – Pee Jay 14:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't say I'm a big fan of that solution, as it seems to be presenting the score at the top as some sort of aggregate result, when the two results should be treated equally. I was rather hoping it would be possible to make the "team1" and "team2" fields optional when "Replay" is entered in the "secondleg" field. – Pee Jay 15:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, good point. Then again, since the font size for the scores is smaller when there is a second leg, it should be possible to see the result of both matches on the screen at once, which should make it clear. – Pee Jay 15:30, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edwin van der Sar/Andres Palop

Re: your edit summary on Edwin van der Sar, why can't we have it thus? It makes no sense having a player's national team listed if he's made no appearances for the team. I think this may be a topic for the WikiProject as a whole to discuss. – Pee Jay 22:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the situation is properly explained in the article prose, then the start date really should be the year of the player's first cap. – Pee Jay 22:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, but like I say, maybe this should be taken to WT:FOOTY, as it affects a plethora of articles. – Pee Jay 23:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now started a discussion at WT:FOOTY. – Pee Jay 23:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, what do you mean "aligns correctly"? Got a test case? All this extra markup should certainly not be necessary to miss minor alignment problems. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:33, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

League matches in Portal: Current events/Sports

The consensus so far is that domestic league matches are generally not reported on this article. Therfor your edit was reversed by another editor. If you like to discuss this issue, please do it on the article's talk page.--Nitsansh (talk) 17:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Europa League teams

The rule of thumb is to list teams when we are absolutely sure that they'll be in this position. Kingjeff (talk) 03:08, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help

I was wondering if you could help me with Kingjeff, and his trolling my talk page. So far he's readded comments that I've deleted, which is my sovereign right to do, only once, but if it continues, can you intervene or begin intervention as a quasi third party. I have history with this guy. I realize you're involved in the content dispute on the Europa League article, but you're neutral about his comments on my talk page. Either way please reply on my talk page. Thanks. -- Grant .Alpaugh 03:54, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Something at the Administrator's Noticeboard. I don't know which one. It's not 3RR yet, but messing with someone's talk page is off limits, I know that much. If you can't help, no big deal, but like I said I've got history with this guy. -- Grant .Alpaugh 04:03, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Beve (talk) 19:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

France Squad 1934 World Cup

Hi! Perhaps you should consider validating my edit of the template. Have a look at Sid Kimpton. I apologize for not having edited a summary. Cheers.--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know. By the 1930's most of foreign football and football managers had their names "changed". You should have a look at the link I left in the article Sid Kimpton. I can also raise a discussion at WP:FOOTY, to find more clues.--Latouffedisco (talk) 08:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...

... for fixing the display problem with the football boxes on Denmark national football team last night. I was tearing my hair out because of this. Still don't understand why your edit fixed the problem; I suppose it's one of the little tweaks you just learn along the way on football articles. Again, thanks. –IbLeo (talk) 18:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hakan Yakin

I have reverted your edit. There are numerous reasons as to why subject's names are given in a variety of languages across the site, and ethnicity is just one of them. The variation I gave you is not simply the way his name is spelt in another language, it is the model on which his actual name is based; if I wanted to give people's names in other languages, I'd have sought their forms in Arabic, Mandarin and the like. These are not relevant here. I recently sent this message which may explain to you the practice: [2] (the bottom two paragarphs), it gives numerous examples. If the code of practice does not suit you, please attempt to standardise the pages given, then we can discuss the Yakin brothers. Thank you. Evlekis (talk) 23:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FC de Rakt

Thanks for taking part in the AfD debate for FC de Rakt. I notice you haven't actually voted though - would you like to do so? ðarkuncoll 07:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a vote. Chandler's comment will have just as much weight as any top-level comment. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay - I wasn't really sure if it was just the votes that counted. ðarkuncoll 12:45, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't we take our discussion to more appropriate page? I think that Talk:International recognition of Kosovo is more appropriate page. I hope you would agree with me. If you don't, please do suggest something. My suggestion is to discuss it on the article's talk page. All the best, 78.30.153.144 (talk) 01:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting my edits

The addition to Keith Olbermann's bio was useful and good, and your hamhanded protection of the article as though we in any way answer to you is asinine. Please do try to defend yourself when thhi goes to arbitration and you explain why you removed useful factual NON POV information from an article because I didn't "ask you".
