Can we remove the "No. of teams" column and instead split the table horizontally to separate <16, 16, 24, 36, and 48 team tournaments? I think this would enhance readability. As it is, this table is very misleading. --Dazzling4 (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how it's misleading or confusing. – Pee Jay 19:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Add the current Fifa emblem plus the Trophy Files --> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FIFA_logo_without_slogan.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FIFA_World_Cup_Icon_(Campionato_mondiale_di_calcio).svg Bildersindtoll (talk) 18:14, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why? The FIFA logo is not the logo of this competition, and that image of the trophy is a clear copyright violation that should not be on Commons. – Pee Jay 11:20, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So then, this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FIFA_museum,_Zurich_09.jpg should be used in combination with the current lettering of the tournament. Bildersindtoll (talk) 19:05, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Your suggestion is irreconcilable with WP:COPY, at least especially the new lettering part, using the exact logo or lettering would pass the threshold of originality meaning copyright licenses apply. As for the picture of the trophy, I'd be less certain but I do know that it's trademarked at the very least, you could ask help at WP:CRA to see if this would pass as okay but I'm not risking it. ★Ama ^TALK ^CONTRIBS 18:14, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change ‘FIFA World Cup’ to ‘FIFA Men’s World Cup’ 195.99.43.225 (talk) 22:34, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: FIFA World Cup is both the official and common name. You would need to establish consensus which is unlikely to happen. If you want to change the title of the article then it's not done with an edit request but a requested move, also unlikely to happen. I know the women's tournament is called FIFA Women's World Cup but as an encyclopedia we describe the World as it is, we don't try to change it. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:14, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a big mistake in table "Teams reaching the top four" The table lists Russia as reaching 4th place in 1966. It was Soviet Union and not Russia who reached the 4th place in 1966. Soviet Union represented all 15 Soviet Republics, not just Russia, and some prominent players were nor russians. This is an insult to many people. Please replace the country and the national flag. 129.49.100.214 (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done Madeline (part of me) 19:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This should not have been done. FIFA considers Russia to be the sole successor to the record of the Soviet Union. It might feel wrong, but Russia should be credited with reaching fourth place at the 1966 World Cup. – Pee Jay 21:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
