National team articles: Recent call ups

The recent call ups section of a number of national team articles seem rather unwieldy. See, for example, United_States_men's_national_soccer_team#Recent_call-ups. On an average desktop monitor, there list of players stretches for multiple screens. There are roughly fifty players listed, and so much information is given for each one that many entries spill over onto two lines of text. This list of ~50 recent call ups is on top of the already 23 players listed in the current squad.

I propose the following revisions:

1. We only list the last ~20 players called up. If a coach has called up 50 players in the past 12 months, we list only the most recent 20. That will help reduce the clutter.
2. We list only the ages, and not the full birth dates. This change removes quite a bit of clutter without removing any critical information. (We'll need to fix the header and center the numbers, but that's a straightforward technical fix).
3. The last call up lists the last date of the call up, but not the opponent or the flag. Otherwise, there's quite a bit of clutter, but the chart is a rather large mess of flags.
4. We list only players that have at least one cap. A player that has never played for the national team doesn't get listed here.
5. We get rid of the notes that say INJ, RET, etc. Too many details, too much clutter.

The two versions — the proposed version and then the current version — shown below illustrate the differences between the two versions. Please register your support or opposition to the changes in the sections immediately below.

Support

1. Support — The new version is stripped of clutter and is much tidier. The reader can see the most recent players at a glance.

Misc

To Do:

• WP:FOOTY:
  • Natl Teams: Recent call ups
  • Players Assessment: Criteria unclear

• WP:V vs WP:CN
  • Harmonize guidance; add tag should be default first step

Done:

• MOS:BODY & MOS:PARAGRAPHS
  • Sections/paragraphs

• WP:FOOTY:
  • Natl Teams: Table colors

Common edit summaries

• Lead:
  • MOS:BOLDTITLE — "Links should not be placed in the boldface reiteration of the title in the opening sentence of a lead"
  • WP:REDUNDANCY — Keep redundancy to a minimum in the first sentence. Use the first sentence of the article to provide relevant information that is not already given by the title of the article. The title of the article need not appear verbatim in the lead.
  • MOS:BLPLEAD — "Birth and death places . . . should not be mentioned in the opening brackets of the lead sentence alongside the birth and death dates."
  • WP:LEADCLUTTER — The lead "may become cluttered with parenthetical details (sometimes to the point of absurdity). If this happens, the lead may need to be reduced." Much of the parenthetical material can be moved to footnotes, to infoboxes, or the body of the article.

• Infobox:
  • MOS:INFOBOXFLAG — Flags in infoboxes "are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many."
  • WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE — "Do not include links to sections within the article; the table of contents provides that function."

• Sections/Organization:
  • MOS:BODY — Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose.

• Icons/Flags:
  • WP:NOICONS — "Do not use icons in general article prose" (e.g., no flags in text)
  • MOS:SPORTFLAG — Flags should be used only to show which team they represent, not where they are from.

Tools

• Layouts — Tables:
  • To center table text for all columns, type: style="text-align: center;"
  • To center table text for a single column, type:  ! style="text-align:left" |
  • To make the table float on the right side of the page, type: style="float:right;"
  • {{Div col|2}} and {{Div col end}} converts a long list of bullets into 2 columns.

• References — using the same reference multiple times = WP:REFNAME
  • First time: <ref name=DAVE> Insert regular cite </ref>
  • Later times: <ref name=DAVE/>

• Misc:
  • <nowiki>[[Paris]]</nowiki> To avoid wiki-fying a message (nowiki).
  • To put Hidden text into an editing window, type: <!-- Comment -->
  • Indicate strikethrough or completed to-to by using the strike-through markup <s>...</s>.
  • Dated terms (such as now, soon, currently, and recently) should be replaced with "as of [date]" or "since [date]." Per WP:DATED
  • Moving/Re-naming a page: Help:How to move a page

"I put in a technical request for the move to Demographics of San Francisco: see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. It should be uncontroversial, but there might be a little dirt as an administrator moves things around and re-establishes edit history, etc. In the future, you can probably make many moves yourself (unless there are articles or redirects with substantial history in the way), since you should be autoconfirmed with the number of page edits and duration of your account. More info is at Help:How to move a page.

Inserting symbols, colors, etc

• Symbols

• Color text

Not There were many attacks. 23 men were killed,

Footy

Injury icons should not be used in rosters. They are excessively detailed and violates WP:RECENTISM and MOS:TEXTASIMAGES.

Tagging articles

Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup (loads of tags for articles, sections, and inline)

Wikipedia:Responsible tagging

Wikipedia:Tagging pages for problems (essay gives guidance re tags that are helpful vs unhelpful)

• Article:
  • Too long: {{very long}}
  • Recentism: {{recentism}}
  • Overuse of color: {{Overcolored}}
  • Needs independent cites: {{third-party}}
• Section:
  • Add {{TAG|section}} to apply the template to just one section.
  • Expand section: {{expand section}}
  • Needs cites: {{refimprove section}}
  • Split lengthy section: {{Split section}}
• Inline:
  • Sometimes adding the {{-inline}} suffix to a tag converts a general tag into an inline tag. For example, {{Weasel-inline}} creates.
  • When?: {{when}}
  • Timeframe: {{clarify timeframe}}
  • Dubious - discuss: {{dubious}}

US pols

Five periods of “democratic fragility” in American history. The periods are:

1. 1790s — Discord over the Alien and Sedition Acts,
2. 1850s — “Bleeding Kansas” era,
3. 1890s — Black disenfranchisement,
4. 1930s — Great Depression enhancement of executive, and
5. 1970s — Watergate era partisan warfare.

The same four threats:

• political polarization,
• conflict over who belongs in the political community,
• high and growing economic inequality, and
• excessive executive power.
