OK, the context part looks good, but there are no sources. User:Zoe|(talk) 19:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Team names

Unfortunately UEFA have got the name of almost every team wrong:

There is no hyphen in Tel Aviv or Kfar Saba.
There is no hyphen or "c" in Petah Tikva.
Bnei Sakhnin dropped the word Hapoel from their title in 1996.
There is no such team as Hapoel Nazareth, they are Hapoel Nazareth Illit.
Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv are always referred to as just Bnei Yehuda, even though it is their official full name.
The standard naming procedure for football clubs on Wikipedia is to use F.C. not FC. Plus, aside from when it is prominent (e.g. F.C. Ashdod) the F.C. part is never used except in the full title on the article.

I hope this clears it up. Good work on the articles though! Number 5 7 18:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you don't accept it, those are the correct names of the teams; just click on the links above and you will see how the cities are spelt. I lived in Israel for several years so I know what I'm talking about. If you want further proof, check out how the Israeli press spells the names here. I have no idea why UEFA got it so wrong, but they have. Number 5 7 19:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the history section of the club's website (which features some very bad spelling!), the official name is indeed Hakoah Maccabi Amidar Ramat Gan, however they refer to themselves as just Hakoah Maccabi Ramat Gan (see the banner at the top). Bizarrely the press drop the Maccabi bit and add Amidar (one.co.il call them Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan). Anyway, as I pointed out above, you should use the common name when referring to a team aside from in the introduction to its article. If anything, I would just stick with Hakoah Ramat Gan. Number 5 7 19:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When writing the article about the club itself, its appropriate to use the full name, but when talking about clubs in other articles just the common name is enough. You wouldn't see an article on the FA Cup where someone wrote "Wimbledon F.C. beat Liverpool F.C. in the 1988 final" - it would be "Wimbledon beat Liverpool". Similarly, if you were writing about South American football, you would talk about River Plate and Flamengo rather than Club Atlético River Plate and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo - it just fills the article up with unnecessary words (and in some cases can confuse people, as clubs are better known by their short names than their long ones - would you know who Philips Sport Vereniging are for instance)? An extreme case is Sporting Clube de Portugal; many fans are unlikely to know them by this name, but rather as Sporting Lisbon (for precedent, this is the name used in the UEFA Champions League 2006-07 article). Number 5 7 19:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm glad we got this resolved quite quickly (though I see you have cheekily reverted Bnei Yehuda to Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv! I have to say that I have never heard anyone add the TA bit). I do use messenger, but I prefer to stay private on here! Feel free to write to me via my talk page if you need assistance though :) להתראות, Number 5 7 20:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ligat ha'Al

Why did you remove my extended statistics table? Did you know how long it took me to make and that I purposely saved all the newspapers at the end of the season to upload stuff like this. This is not your personal page, if you have a problem with it, use the discussion page. -NYC2TLV 00:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ligat ha'Al (once again)...

Why do you constantly revert the given standards? Firstly, they will be in use in all of the 2008(-09) season articles in UEFA. Additionally, the templates are much more easy to edit than the current complicated table structure.

Furthermore, I do not get your "We have three rounds in Israel" argument. Countries like Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia and even Denmark also have three rounds. This fact is stated both in the table of contents of the article and right before the results tables, as you can also see here and here.

Thirdly, information access always has to be superior, especially over design. If someone needs just the results of Beitar's home games against Maccabi Tel Aviv, he has to search the whole page - when formatted in the current for mat - in order to retrieve them, whereas a table format, no matter how it may look like, provides the desired data fast and accurate. Do not come up with the argument that single rounds of games are important. This kind of distinction belongs rather in a sports almanac than into an encyclopedia. Big paper encyclopedias like Encyclopedia Britannica also do not list every round, they just print the results boxes, if they do it at all. If one really needs to know the exact round or even the date of a match, there are enough archives like RSSSF where his knowledge desires will be satisfied.

Finally, the argument "We have done so all the time" is a rather weak argument, as it opposes all kind of progress. You need changes in order to have progress. Changes are always accompanied by new ideas. Not all new ideas may be good, but that's why there are talk and discussion pages on this site in order to discuss pro and contra. Additionally, the results are listed only since Ligat ha'Al 2005-06, which also weakens this position. The templates exist since the begin of the 2007-08 season. They may still have some flaws, but they are, in my opinion, better than the various types of result display that have existed before.

I may quote NYC2TLV, who said on your very own talk page:"This is not your personal page, if you have a problem with (changes made to an article), use (this article's) discussion page." I may remind you further on a wikipedia guideline: "Assume good faith on made changes." Everybody should follow those two simple rules to make this place a better one.

We noticed though that when you edited 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ramenskoye (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.
