Your edits to 2016-17 Coupe de France

Hi, I have reverted your edits today to the above page. Unfortunately you have gone against current consensus by reordering the fixtures by date rather than maintaining the order of the draw. Note there is already an open discussion on this on the talk page, so no need to open a fresh one.

Unfortunately, a couple of elements you added appear to have been lost by doing this - I will endeavor to reinstate these, or you may do so yourself. Thanks and Regards, Gricehead (talk) 13:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to 2017-18 Europa League

I reverted your changes related to cup winners in Croatia, Italy and Portugal. It is true that cup winner has priority compared to other league entrants. However, Cup final will not influence on distribution berths in mentioned countries. In Croatia Dinamo and Rijeka will take first two places. Therefore, 2nd placed team is going to ELQ3 regardless will they win in cup final or not. Similarly, in Italy. Juve has already secured CL, while cup final opponent can be at worst 5th. In each case, 4th and 5th placed are going to ELGS, while 6th placed team qualifies for ELQ3. Similarly in Portugal. Benfica already qualfied for CL, while Vitoria cannot be worse than 4th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mijo34 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

but if Dinamo wins cup and finishes 2nd we will put them as CW and not as 2nd, that's why we have to have CW/2nd for now (look at last season for example, Maribor and Partizan are both CW and 2nd but are put as CW) LICA98 (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In such case, after the end of the season write CW or 2nd to the brackets. For now, we are not sure will CW play in certain round, but we are 100% sure that 2nd placed team will play that round. It is the minor problem to write Dinamo(CW) or Dinamo(2nd) at the end. Similarly, for Real Madrid who qualified for CL GS. We wrote 1st/2nd, because those are potential ending positions of Real in La Liga. Nobody wrote 1st/2nd/TH despite the fact they will play in the final against Juve. If they win the final, then the note will be changed to Real Madrid(TH). Similarly, after today Arsenal win it is obvious that 5th and 6th team of English PL will compete in EL GS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.142.157.24 (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2017 Latvian Football Cup

I went back and looked at putting teams in order of draw or order by date. I thought I had read consensus somewhere but I can't find that now. When I'm not sure about something like this, I will usually look at the bigger football nations in Europe to see the what is done there because they are normally edited similarly and according to consensus. I found that there is difference in these, and since it doesn't matter to me, I have no interest in reordering the Latvian Cup.

However, there is consensus that the best way to format cup competitions is with Football box & Football box collapsible. This is probably the best explanation of the guidelines, but it exists other places as well. I am considering making the change in this article if I think I am willing to do the work. Basically, an editor should not switch the format to the boxes if they are not willing to fill in the information. If you think you want to do it, go for it. I'm not sure yet. Thanks. Equineducklings (talk) 00:38, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think that for "small" countries like Latvia the table format works better (because most teams and players don't have a wiki page and also there is sometimes little information available) but I don't object if you change it to football box and then put it according to draw order (because date is visible)

in the table format if you put it in draw order there is no way to find out the date LICA98 (talk) 04:26, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I never disagreed that in order of date may be better for the table format, but I thought that it was supposed to be the other way. Once I looked and couldn't find that consensus anywhere, I was fine with keeping it the way it is. I'm still not sure about changing to football box, because it's more work, but also because sometimes all the information is not available. I have never liked the green highlight for the winner, but that's just personal preference (and I try not to change based on preference). Overall, I think the article looks good so far. Thanks. Equineducklings (talk) 15:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of European road signs

You changed "End of maximum speed limit and overtaking prohibition" to "End of all restriction". The reason why I didn't do that was that I wasn't sure that it means that in all of the countries (it sure does in some of them). If you are sure of what you are doing, then it's fine with me, but in case of doubt, I consider my version more adequate (because the signs cover at least those two restrictions). Sigur (talk) 15:34, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's better to write "end of all restrictions" than just listing 2 that it ends (because that makes it look like it only ends those 2 and nothing else) LICA98 (talk) 18:16, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

template:2017–18_Eredivisie_table

Why you keep adding the Q status for PSV? Last column of the table already indicates they are qualified, it even indicates what they're qualified for. And it's "loss points" and not "lost points" just like it's "your loss" and not "your lost". Or do we need to send out a rescue party to find those lost points? --Sb008 (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the last column indicates that the first place qualifies for CL3QR however it doesn't necessarily mean that the team currently in first place has qualified to CL, for example after the first round Vitesse was in first place so according to your logic they were qualified to CL? that's why we need to add Q to indicate that the team has qualified for the competition

https://writingexplained.org/loss-vs-lost-difference loss: noun lost: adjective

so it's "lost points" the same way as "lost match" or "lost competition" LICA98 (talk) 20:11, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If the team in first place is indicated as champion, it does mean, as you state yourself, they are qualified for CL3QR. Exactly why Vitesse, after the first round, did not have the C status. Or do you think, PSV as champion, can still become 2nd? The official Dutch league rules, which are leading, define the 2nd criteria as a noun (verliespunten) and not as an adjective (verloren punten) [3]. So loss points. --Sb008 (talk) 09:24, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

not necessarily because a team can be champion and not qualify for European competition

in English we say "lost points" not "loss points" (or a better way would be "less points lost") LICA98 (talk) 11:56, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide me a single example of a team being champion not qualifying for a European competition. You can call it won/lost statistics, won/lost points and won/lost ratio. Most call it win/loss statistics, win/loss points and win/loss ratio. Now stop vandalizing. --Sb008 (talk) 13:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

for example Skënderbeu 2 years ago (and this year probably)

most? nobody says "loss points", it's either lost points or points lost LICA98 (talk) 06:27, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe that's why the "Qualification or relegation" column behind Skënderbeu is empty. Also I see no Q status behind the teams which ended at rank 2-4. For all teams (rank 1-4) it's very clear what they did or didn't qualify for, without using a Q status. Same applies to PSV, if they hadn't qualified for CL3QR, the "Qualification or relegation" column had been empty. And it's certainly not lost points just like it isn't lost statistics. "Points lost", or even better, "less points lost" or "lesser points lost", is acceptable. --Sb008 (talk) 15:36, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

that's because Q statuses are removed after the season

either way it's not "loss points", that doesn't make sense in English LICA98 (talk) 15:46, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:2017–18 Eredivisie table. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. BangJan1999 11:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit to Poltava

This one specifically - /lt/ isn't a valid syllable onset in either Ukrainian or Russian. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, remember that the hard allophone of Russian /a/ is transcribed as [a] (see [4] and [5]). Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 18:50, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Last thing (I hope): don't forget that Russian transcriptions need to be enclosed within the IPA-ru template, not the IPA-uk one. This is important because if they aren't, they'll link to Help:IPA/Ukrainian instead of Help:IPA/Russian, which is considerably less helpful. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 19:14, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

sorry about that, in my font a and ɑ look identical so I didn't see a difference LICA98 (talk) 20:11, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If you'd like to fix that, copy my common.css (to User:LICA98/common.css) and download the DejaVu Sans font. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 20:37, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

/mtɕ/ also isn't a valid onset. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 16:47, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

so мчаться isn't a word then? LICA98 (talk) 21:52, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LICA98: It clearly has an unusual onset, regardless of whether it's a loanword or something else. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 23:02, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

so? it's a valid onset if words start with it? LICA98 (talk) 04:08, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
