Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kenyan Super Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2013 Kenyan Super Cup (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I understand the changes you've just made to Template:Infobox football biography, but next time you make changes to a template like that, could you please discuss them first, or at least explain via an edit summary what you're intending to do? – PeeJay 16:34, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that. It's actually good you posted in because I've made the template embeddable, but when it's embedded the border and the cellpadding/spacing won't go away. Do you know how to rectify that? Davykamanzitalk · contribs 16:36, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
I'm afraid I don't, sorry. Perhaps post at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) or Help talk:Infobox? – PeeJay 16:52, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Naming conventions

Hello. Re your move of Reece Brown (footballer, born 1996). You're probably unaware of the relevant naming convention, WP:NCPDAB, which specifies the use of a comma separator when the form (qualifier, born YYYY) is used. I've moved him back. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your patience at AN3. Your use of clear formatting is especially appreciated. Please, however, use difference links next time, as they are easier to parse for the reviewing admin. - 2/0 (cont.) 22:25, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kenya)

AHH! I don't know that, i thinked that the ministry was the owner of the team thanks for the information.I have finished all african top division clubs now if i don't leave Wikipedia i finish Kenya(lower division), Zanzibar and EQ.Guinea.

Do you know something about these teams?Are these teams professional?

If you know something please contact me Cheers and good luck--Lglukgl (talk) 22:16, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Does it really make it easier to edit? I don't see how that can be the case. Furthermore, as I pointed out at Talk:2014 FIFA World Cup Group A, the parameters in the template are extremely inflexible and don't allow for any modifications if needed. This isn't meant as a criticism, but your only argument appears to be WP:ILIKEIT. – PeeJay 13:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

I still don't see how the template is easier to use than the wikitable format. It's not exactly hard to understand, and when the template includes so many complicated parameters, that makes the template even less palatable. You say it's tedious to keep repeating the tables over and over, but I don't see how the template remedies that. – PeeJay 15:23, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
I think any user with a modicum of common sense would be able to work it out just by looking at previous years. Plus there are plenty of experienced editors on hand to correct any minor errors they may make. Creating a template is just making a mountain out of a molehill. – PeeJay 15:50, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Skread production discography for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Skread production discography is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Skread production discography until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Ad Orientem (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of 2014 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: 2010 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:05, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Brazil v Croatia line-ups

According to the FourFourTwo StatsZone app, which is run by reputable stats company Opta, Neymar started in the centre. All the references I heard in the commentary were to Hulk and Oscar playing on the wings, and they regularly swapped sides. The times when I saw Neymar on the wing, he had drifted there from the centre, as #10s are wont to do. – PeeJay 22:35, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Mexico vs Cameroon

It is true that the Mexican federation have announced their intended line-up, but until the team sheets are submitted to the referee and published on the FIFA website, nothing is fixed. This one seems like a bit of a grey area for me. After all, football is not like rugby, where teams habitually release their line-ups several days before each match. – PeeJay 15:09, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, that was just a little error on my part. – PeeJay 15:50, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

You are now a template editor

Your account has been granted the template editor user right, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit edit notices.

You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edit notices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established.

Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation. This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus.

Happy template editing! — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:36, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I have given you the template editor right, as it looks like you pass all of the granting guidelines. However, I did notice a few edit requests of yours where you didn't try to find a consensus before making the request. If you're in any doubt at all about whether a given edit has a consensus, please bring it up on the talk page of the template in question first. Also, I was a little concerned about this request - please be aware that we can't use non-free images for things like portals and flag templates. But if you just keep those two things in mind, you should be fine. Good luck with your template editing, and don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:36, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
I'll keep all that in mind. Thank you very much sir. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 08:59, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

2014 FIFA World Cup line-ups.

Hello, Thank you for creating the line-up for the Germany v Portugal. Could please tell me how you create it. It would be much appreciated. Thanks. --Skyblueshaun (talk) 15:58, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

@Skyblueshaun: Just use File:Empty soccer line-up.svg or any other of the line-ups as a template, fill in the players' names, put in the right jersey colours and place them in the correct positions (have to be the positions set out by FIFA on their website). It's best to use Inkscape for this by the way. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 16:50, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for that information. I'll give it a go. How do you move them into correct positions and change shirt colours? Cheers --Skyblueshaun (talk) 17:39, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Skyblueshaun: It's not difficult. Just use Inkscape. All the tools are right there when you open it. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 18:03, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I'm stuck on erasing the Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder & Attacker text into player names. Also moving shirts around to notify where position playing in. Can you please explain for me. Much appreciated. Thanks --Skyblueshaun (talk) 18:08, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Skyblueshaun: Double click the text to change it. Just click and drag the shirts or use the arrows to move them around (better to move them with the names collectively; press and hold Ctrl+Shift to choose more than one object; press # to use a grid for more accurate positions). Double-click the fill/stroke section at the bottom to change the shirts' colours after selecting them. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 18:15, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Still having problems with it all. I've doubled clicked on the Goalkeeper text but won't let me delete in and put names in. --Skyblueshaun (talk) 18:31, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Skyblueshaun: Just keep clicking in quick succession until you can edit the text. I usually double click and it works, but then again sometimes it doesn't. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 18:32, 16 June 2014 (UTC)



What icon on the left hand side should I be using for this? Skyblueshaun (talk) 18:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
I take the line-ups from this page, using the "Tactical line-up" documents. – PeeJay 18:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@PeeJay2K3: Thanks. @Skyblueshaun: The "A" icon creates new text. Just repeatedly click the existing text until you can edit it with your keyboard. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 18:43, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Davykamanzi: I've repeatedly clicked on the text but unable to edit the text. --Skyblueshaun (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Skyblueshaun: There must be something you're doing wrong. In any case just select the text then click on the "T" symbol above (under the menu), then go to the "Text" tab to edit it. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 18:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
@Davykamanzi: I haven't got a clue what I am doing and how to do it. lol --Skyblueshaun (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Infobox football biography

You didn't think to notify WT:FOOTBALL about these changes? Brilliant move! And you did so citing WP:LOCALCONSENSUS at the talk page of an obscure template? Even better!

Surname order

Re this edit, perhaps you need to take your own adice and read the article you cite. It states, perfectly clearly, Dutch names in English directories (e.g. reference lists of scientific papers) may be ordered on the full name including all prefixes (Van Rijn would be ordered under 'V'). This is an English language article, so it follows the conventions of English. Kevin McE (talk) 12:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

@Kevin McE: I did "take my own advice" and the article continues: partly because many Dutch emigrant families to English-speaking countries have had their prefixes capitalized for them, whether they liked it or not, like Martin Van Buren or Steve Van Dyck, and normal practise in English is to order on the first capitalized element. As you said, it's an English language article, so it follows the conventions of English. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 13:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
The fact is what is relevant, not the explanation. The fact is that English lists by surname, inclusive of prepositions. WP:Namesort defaults to a resource that is unequivocal on the matter. Kevin McE (talk) 14:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
@Kevin McE: You've contradicted yourself by referencing that article. In WP:NAMESORT § Other exceptions, it says:

Generally, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish names do not include lowercase particles in sorting, but do include uppercase particles. For example, Otto von Bismarck is sorted {{DEFAULTSORT:Bismarck, Otto von}}, Jean de La Fontaine is sorted {{DEFAULTSORT:La Fontaine, Jean de}}, and Alberto Di Chiara is sorted {{DEFAULTSORT:Di Chiara, Alberto}}.

I think that's pretty clear. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 14:23, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
That is preceded by "Whether or not to include the particle in sorting can be up to the individual's personal preference, traditional cultural usage or the customs of one's nationality." The culture of en.wikipedia is anglophone, so anglophone customs are relevant. Kevin McE (talk) 14:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
@Kevin McE: If that was the case, Otto von Bismarck would be sorted in articles as {{DEFAULTSORT:von Bismarck, Otto}} instead of {{DEFAULTSORT:Bismarck, Otto von}}. And as it points out "up to the individual's personal preference, traditional cultural usage or the customs of one's nationality". Given that the culture of en.wikipedia is indeed anglophone, the exclusion of "von" when sorting "Otto von Bismarck" is the customs of his (von Bismarck's) nationality and/or the individual's personal preference. The same goes for Robin van Persie or any other player with a lowercase prefix in their name. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 14:36, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Lineup files.

Hello, mate. I have figured out how to do it know but just a few more questions to ask you if you don't mind just so that all the line-ups mate. 1) How come my pitch is a darker green then yours. 2) What font do you use. 3) What size font do you us.

Really appreciate all the help you have given.

Skyblueshaun (talk) 17:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

@Skyblueshaun: If you used File:Empty soccer line-up.svg or any of the other WC line-up files as a template your pitch shouldn't have been darker or your font different. All you have to do is edit the text (without changing the font; should be Verdana or something), change the colours of the jerseys and move the names+jerseys in their correct positions.

No, the image isn't free. The Flickr page even links to the site it came from, which doesn't clearly state anywhere what kind of licence the image was released under. There's no meta data attached to the image on Flickr, which makes it even more suspect. People often upload copyrighted images on Flickr under incorrect licences, and this looks like one of them. – PeeJay 20:24, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Gringe Art Rock 2014.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Gringe Art Rock 2014.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

@Matty.007: Sure but it could be a bit tedious since sources on CECAFA Cup topics aren't that many. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 16:03, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
Well, 1973 CECAFA Cup is already at GA (a little short though due to lack of sources). I was thinking maybe the central page and the years 2000-present. 2006 is at GAR, 2003 is at GAN. What do you think? Thanks, Matty.007 16:37, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
@Matty.007: If 1973's at GA, then 2012 and 2013 should be at GA as well surely? 2012 Kagame Interclub Cup as well. Otherwise yeah it's very possible. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 16:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

@GiantSnowman: Be that as it may, WP:FOOTY/TFSP says five editors is a good level of interest to start a task force; we have five people and over 10 or so other potential members.

Template:BD ToC

It's not working where you added it to 2013. (It's also adding a lot of whitespace. Please hold off adding it elsewhere. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 23:01, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

I've changed my mind. I'm just going to revert all your edits to year articles. The datadumps into births clearly fail WP:RY, and the templates won't work without the datadumps. Please experiment with the navigation templates outside of mainspace.
Actually, I do have an idea what might be done to get the templates to work. If you add invisible anchors such as "Births January" to the births, then a version of the template could work. I'll suggest that at WT:YEARS. It could probably be done by a bot, if consensus was obtained. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:46, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry about the tone of my previous comments, although not the substance. Your actions at 1996 caused more damage than the benefit your templates may produce. 1996 was a mess: before your data dump into births, there was a previous data dump of April deaths. I'll restore your templates, if I can get them to work, but I'm afraid that, because of your datadump of births, I cannot trust your other edits to be competent. The article is probably too long, as it is, and your dump added about 55%. However, I got the 2013 template to work, by declaring it to be "Births" (_2), rather than deaths (_3). Hence the template would work on 2014 except that the deaths for months which haven't happened yet will not link. Perhaps another parameter to the template, indicating the number of months to issue (default 12)?

If you can explain the intricacies of the template, possibly formatting with invisible line breaks, I may be able to help you to get it to work, even without the invisible anchors. I can't figure out how to quote it, but look how the text below displays:

abcldefghi

Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:59, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@Arthur Rubin: The template's code is actually quite messy if I'm honest. The most complex part of it is the if's with the separate sections, so using invisible line breaks would be most useful there. The rest of it is quite simple. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 09:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
@Arthur Rubin: I've simplified the intricacies on the template code. If it's fine or there's anything else to be dealt with regarding it let me know. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 10:12, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

About the reverts on edits about removal of the "fb team" templates

Hello, good night!

So, about my edits on some season pages where I replaced the use of some fb team templates by some that use direct wikilinks, I did because the WikiProject Football achieved consensus on their deletion here and on other previous discussions too. The idea is that the normal wikilinks can be used instead of these templates. However, as many fb team templates are still in use, they can't all be deleted in one "touch". They must be replaced, however the project still haven't got a bot that can do it. I have finished the replacement and cleanup for the conmebol countries, and did for some of the AFC/CAF countries, which I'm in the middle of it.

I use this account (Gno-simple-edits) mostly to do these type of edits and then nominate the templates for deletion, so my contributions log doesn't get full of repeated edits to pages. Feel free to contact me on this account or on the User:GNozaki account, and thank you for your attention

  • I only check for parameters 3-13 (alternate section names) if section 2 is set; you seem to have a different test. In other words, in my version, if parameter 2 is set, then I display:
    1. Parameter 2
    2. Parameter 3, if Parameter 3 is set
    3. Parameter 4, if Parameter 4 is set (ignoring parameter 3)
    4. ...
  • If parameter 2 is set, "months" is ignored. I think you test "months" first, and only take that number of alternate parameters if set
  • If parameter 2 is set, I still set the "default" section to 2/3. (I can set the default section to "off" or 1 if you prefer.) You turned off section handling entirely. It seems quite possible that for earlier years in the 20th century, both "Births" and "Deaths" are by quarter, so the names will conflict.
  • I think I turned off overall centering of the box. As most of the text is toward the left, it makes sense for the box to be to the left.
  • I also removed the NTOC. We still need ToC to level 2.
  • I'm not sure about the {{clear}}. That may be what's putting the extra line spacing at the end, if there's something else to the right.

Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:29, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

@Arthur Rubin: First off, I'm gonna say I think the box should be centered since it's a {{Compact ToC}}, and without the clear the text was wrapping around the ToC. The removal of the NTOC seems fine to me.
  • I think the biggest task we're faced with is to find out what's causing the ToC to show raw code instead of wikilinking parameters 2–13. Once we discover that everything becomes easier and we can sort it out faster.
  • Regarding the "months", I'm not sure whether it's necessary to include conditional expressions in the main template, since all of that is done in the subtemplate. Other than that I'm still not sure why it's ignored when parameter 2 is set. I think I'll need a bit more time to figure that out.
I'm gonna do some more tweaking in the sandbox and see how it goes then I'll let you know. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 11:14, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
  • If parameter 2 is set then the first link name is that parameter; why should the months parameter or the actual months get involved. As I see it, the template has two modes; "months" (seen by the absence of parameter 2 (or possibly the presence of the parameter "months", but that seems to complicate things), in which all the output tags are months; or literal, usually triggered by parameter 2 being present, in which case the "months" parameter and the actual months should have nothing to do with the output.
  • There are many ways to operate with subtemplates. I chose to calculate all the tags, the title, and the default section in the main template, the parsing being done in the "main" subtemplate. I considered using a subsubtemplate to process each tag, so that we can easily see the rendering works the same way. (For a while in testing, there was a stray "}" in the section7 code in "main"; but the call to the subtemplate is longer than the full rendering of the conditionals. On the other hand, the subsubtemplate would be: {{{#if|{{{{1|}}}}|{{{#if:{{{3}}}||{{,}}}}}[[#{{{1}}} {{{2}}}|{{{1}}}]]}}}
  • My understanding is that at least, when I noticed the problem, there was a pipe symbol (|) within the #if statements. Careful study of the manual shows that those must be replaced by {{!}}, which is replaced by |, but after the #if statements are done. Otherwise, the | gets parsed by the #if statement, which is not what was intended. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:03, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
  • "center=" is an option in {{Compact ToC}}. I suppose we could make it an option here, as well. ("right=" makes no sense for this template.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:11, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

List of football clubs in Africa

Hello davikamanzi i've seen now some pages about List of football clubs in Africa, and there are some problems in my opinion. The pages have not a good standard, some lists are in this order :List of clubs by major honours won, 15 lists are in this order:List of clubs by alphabetical order (HOW THE CATEGORY PAGE) and two or three lists(Kenya) are in this order : The following is a list of association football clubs currently participating in the top two tiers of the football league system:.

In my opinion the best solution is use a alphabetical order for all the african football clubs lists ([[3]]) and fix the different lists.

Example:[[4]], List of football clubs in Tunisia These are the better page in my opinion.--Lglukgl (talk) 00:09, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

So what should we do? What type of order do you prefer?

  • 1 alphabetical?
  • 2 Kenya list style?
  • 3 by major honours won?
@Lglukgl: I think listing them in alphabetical order is better. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 08:17, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

This is the final result after my restyling →[5]

Processing results

I see you took on processing results on the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics. A few other people (including me) did the same thing with mixed results, but stopped because it is a lot of work. While I see you did a few corrections after the initial processing, you got the bulk of your work done in one step (I assume from the original source of the IAAF results documents) and your work was good. What is your processing method? Is there software available that will translate the bulk of this repetitive layout work into wiki format? Please let me know. Maybe we should let others know because this situation will keep coming up. Trackinfo (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

@Trackinfo: I wish such a software existed but unfortunately I've been processing the results the hard way and it is a lot of work. There should be templates that replace those repetitive tables but I'm sure they're around somewhere. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 08:16, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Gringe (Casseurs Flowters).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Gringe (Casseurs Flowters).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. January (talk) 10:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello!

Before you again revert my edits and report me for WP:3RR i ask you if you allow me to add sources to the unsourced honours and change the order of the honours to make it better readable and looking? I promise i don´t delete anything of your contributions. Chelsea-fan1 (talk) 11:58, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

@Chelsea-fan1: All the honours except the Chelsea Players' Player of the Year award are already adequately sourced, and the club honours don't need to be sourced. You don't need to change the order of the honours either because they're supposed to be in chronological order (earliest first). If you want to move the references you can add prose to the section, like in the Thierry Henry article, but the references that are there are already enough. Davykamanzitalkcontribsalter ego 15:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
