Stadium capacities
User:Syjytg is using UEFA as gospel on this. There are several stadiums where the capacity has to be reduced for UEFA competition games due to the height of the perimeter advertising boards. See UEFA_Champions_League#Sponsorship. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 07:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion review for 2011–12 Hannover 96 Season
As a Season article task force member, you might be interested in the Deletion review for 2011–12 Hannover 96 Season redirect. The history of the debate is that the article was a duplicate article of 2011–12 Hannover 96 season. The difference being is that the s was capitalized in the duplicate article. So, I put the article up for deletion. Here is the afd page for your reference. It would be good for you to, irregardless of which side you may be on, to comment and to cast endose or overturn vote.

hey dude, UEFA Euro 2012 (video game) redirects to European Football Championship video games#UEFA Euro 2012, so it's meaningless to remove UEFA Euro 2012 section from that article, because everyone who clicks on UEFA Euro 2012 (video game) link and comes to European Football Championship video games article as the result off redirect, doesn't see any section named "UEFA Euro 2012" and gets confused. So do you agree that even when the game is not officially announced, it should be added to that article because of the reason mentioned above? 78.158.168.89 (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Old Trafford
PeeJay, you didn't provide an edit summary for your RV but I'll try to answer what I guess might be your concerns.
1. the first sentence is just ungrammatical.
2. North, East and West Stands are proper nouns so need to be capitalised.
3. I've no idea what OT's original capacity was, I wouldn't be surprised if no one actually knows. Either way, we need a ref if we're going to say it was 80,000.
4. similarly, we need a source for the proposed extension of the South Stand in the future, at the moment it's just a dead link. Haldraper (talk) 17:59, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Honours
Hi there PEEJAY, VASCO here,
User:Raulseixas (blocked again from what i can see) has asked me to tell you the following: please stop removing the 2010/11 Copa del Rey runner-up honour in Gerard Piqué's article. I do agree with him actually, it is an honour, medals are handed out to the second-placed team in the domestic cups (not just in Spain). Even though the two off you have been having quite a difficult time with difference of opinions, i think he is correct now in this matter.
Several discussions have been carried out at WP:FOOTY and they have generated a good deal of consensus. Attentively, happy week - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 02:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

1986 FIFA World Cup
Your recent editing history at 1986 FIFA World Cup shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

RE: League Cup rounds
Fair enough, it is confusing though! Everyone knows the last eight of a tournament is the quarter-finals, why should the FA Cup and League Cup be any different? But yes, we should keep them as Fifth Round (Sixth Round for FA Cup) for the purposes of Wikipedia. I'll still use quarter-finals down the pub though!

footballer player - Tait
Hi PeeJay, I wanted to let you know I discovered an article about a player who played in the 1880's in Newton Heath, William Tait (footballer), I sent the creator of the article a message seeking answer if its his real first name, as no MUFC database I searched had any info on him, nor that hes English born, or that his first name is William. I was wondering if you got any books on that player? or any info about him.
– HonorTheKing (talk) 05:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- I probably do have some information on him, but unfortunately all my United books are in Cardiff right now. Fortunately, I'm going back there this evening, so I should be able to check that information for you tonight. Send me a message later to remind me. – PeeJay 11:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok cool, so I guess this is the reminder.
– HonorTheKing (talk) 00:30, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok cool, so I guess this is the reminder.
- See this - User_talk:BigDom#Hi_BigDom.2C_question_about_William_Tait_.28footballer.29. Similar information to yours. (same first source)
- So with all the information we can understand that "The Clarets Chronicles: The Definitive History of Burnley Football Club" book who refers his as William Tait, most be the same player.

Hi mate.
I just noticed that you decided to revert my changes I made for that article. I tried to put some info about his Mönchengladbach II team appearances and goals, Mönchengladbach II plays in Regionalliga, competitive football, so I didn't see any reason why I wouldn't give a mention about that. Well, can you explain, why you reverted my changes? Thanks.

1948 FA Charity Shield - United third goal
Hey mate, I saw you created 1948 FA Charity Shield and put United third goal as Charlie Mitten goal, now I have few sources that says it was an own goal. Do you know which is the more accurate, or recent one?.
– HonorTheKing (talk) 16:26, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I see. List of Community Shield winners also says Mitten with the ref "A Pleasant Revival". The Times: p. 2. 7 October 1948.". But the rest says Own goal which was writen many years after so I will change Mitten to an own goal. But do you know which Arsenal player actually scored the own goal?
– HonorTheKing (talk) 16:39, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thats a shame. But anyway Iv'e changed Mitten to an own goal. Hopefully some day we will know who scored it.

UEFA Champions League 2010-11
Hi. Just wondering why the contribution I made to the Champions League page is deemed as not useful? The template is used on nearly all other continental competitions across the world, and don't see why this one doesn't have it? If someone is following through the competition through the different rounds and then get to the final, they may find it USEFUL to know what number title this is for the winning club, in this case Barcelona's fourth. Also, is someone glances at the page, it is very clear how many titles they have won. These are my reasoning's as to why it is useful. What is it that you disagree about?

Pa Modou Kah and "cleanup"-edits
Hi there. Today, I discovered that Pa Modou Kah was listed with nine caps instead of ten. That is really no big deal, and it has been fixed now. But the thing is, that Kah was last capped in 2008, and the "nt-update"-parameter was set at 23 June 2010. After digging into the article-history, I found this edit, which you did as a "cleanup"-edit, and in some way turned his nationalteam-caps from correct to incorrect since he had 9 caps on 28 October 2006 and 10 caps on 23 June 2010. So my question is - do you often update the "nt-update" or "pc-update" parameter without checking that the caps listed in the infobox is correct? Mentoz86 (talk) 11:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Unspaced
Seriously, you think it works fine to have the prose, the references etc all with an unspaced en-dash but the template with a spaced en-dash? Really? And you think it looks "silly"? Is that the best argument available? I can't see a single reasonable argument for having all but one scoreline unspaced. Can you enlighten me otherwise? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'm done with this argument. I think it's stupid to have just one out of tens/hundreds of score lines formatted differently in hundreds/thousands of articles. You think it's not stupid to have a single scoreline differently formatted from all other score lines in an article, which I find very odd indeed. If anything, all I ask for in decent articles is internal consistency. Your approach is in direct opposition to that, your argument against my approach is that an unspaced scoreline makes "it look[s] silly". I think I'll just give up trying to convince you otherwise. I will continue to make articles internally consistent and make sure they're in line with WP:DASH etc, of course if we start edit-warring then we'll have to take it further. On a personal level, I'm sorry that this has come to this, I've always been a supporter of your contributions but in this case, we're poles apart.

Champions League finals
OK I'll stop. I think you should change your mind though. I don't really see the argument for the consensus that has been reached. Ordering people by position makes it far clearer - at the moment you have to go through a mental process of organising a formation in your head. The fact that there were no squad numbers is for me irrelevant. Whilst people may have been numbered 1-11 in a certain way, we do still know from other sources the actual positions they took.
Keep up the good work in general though. I look forward to an image of the lineups for the 2012 League Cup Final. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vintony99 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK I'll do that at some point. The problem I emphasised isn't really important where there are those formation images you made for post-1996 Champions League finals. If you ever get the chance to the same for earlier finals, I'm sure they'll be much appreciated by many "students of the game" out there. I would make some but I'm clueless about image software – Vintony99 18:33, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Please can you add the ability to sort table rows to the template at Template:National_football_squad_start. I have raised the suggestion twice in three years and have never had anybody voting against it. I have created a sandbox template that can be copied over to the original template. It can sort squads by playing position, forename, age, caps and club. Personally I think it is a great improvement for the template.

Main Page appearance
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the List of Manchester United F.C. players know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on March 26, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/March 26, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Since Manchester United Football Club played their first competitive match in October 1886, more than 850 players have made a competitive first-team appearance for the club, of whom almost 200 players have made at least 100 appearances (including substitute appearances). Manchester United's record appearance-maker is Ryan Giggs (pictured), who has made more than 900 appearances since his debut in 1991; he broke Bobby Charlton's previous appearance record in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final. Giggs also holds the record for the most starts, having started in 764 games. Charlton is the club's top goalscorer with 249 goals in his 17 years with the club. Seven other players have made more than 500 appearances, including three members of the 1968 European Cup-winning team and three members of the 1999 Treble-winning team. Other than Charlton, only two players have scored more than 200 goals for the club.

Re: Liverpool v brighton
I may be my opinion, but if you read the text of the article I describes Gerrard's 'goal' as an own goal, despite listing Gerrard as a scorer at the top of the article. In the days following the game, I couldn't find a single source that credited the goal to Gerarrd. KP-TheSpectre (talk) 06:58, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Peejay, as you are the creator of this article I thought I'd contact you. This article is currently very barely referenced, and doesn't have any WP:RS. I also am not sure that even with references for the match itself, the article would be notable. There isn't really anything showing that 'Biggest away win' is an actual record in the premiership. I know that obviously this is the biggest away win but if this article is included without having any references then other articles with different records (i.e. biggest win by a Northern club in the South of England, or something like that) could feasibly included. Anyway I did't want to do anything to the article because it could be notable but I think it needs more sources, to demonstrate its notability. Thanks Adam4267 (talk) 14:36, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

2009 UEFA Champions League Final
PeeJay2K3, I don't see how my account is less fair. It simply explains what happened: Darren Fletcher made contact with the ball, and then, on the follow through he also took fabregas' legs out. Is this not what happened? Your wording, however, suggests that it should not have been a foul at all: "despite replays showing that Fletcher had won the ball before making contact with Fàbregas." I think this wording is suggestive and deceives the reader into believing that the referee made a mistake with calling a foul on Fletcher. Here is an article by a former UEFA referee who agrees that it was a foul despite Fletcher making contact with the ball before taking Fabregas out. --Belegorn (talk) 17:46, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- I still don't see how your account is objective. It implies that no foul should have been called. The article should just state the facts, and leave it up to the reader as to whether or not they want to believe that it was a penalty or not. I hope you realize that simply "winning" the ball does not give the defender an excuse to do anything he wants to the attacker. In this case, while Fletcher did "win" the ball, his follow through took Fabregas out, so it is still a foul, and if he did win the ball for his team, it was only for a split second before committing the foul.
- I also have to take exception with your sources. Your sources are a)the media and b)coaches, both of which are not experts in the Laws of the game. Referees are the experts with regards to interpreting the Laws of the game, and Graham Poll is a retired UEFA Referee, so I think his account hold a lot more weight than non-referee media reports. Additionally, you readily admit that you are a "fervent supporter" of Manchester United which might give you some bias in this instance. --Belegorn (talk) 20:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- While a former referee's interpretation does not make it correct, it is a more relevant interpretation that that from someone in the media who has not Referee'd at the highest level. I still contend simply stating what factually happened is better than insinuating that a foul did not occur. I think this is only an ambiguous issue because of replay and slow-motion. In real-time, this was a bang-bang play, and you cannot reasonably expect to separate the act of knocking the ball away from Fabregas and the act of fouling Fabregas as two separate plays. They happened together. Fletcher was unable to knock the ball away without bringing Fabregas down. That's a foul. There should be no dispute here. Fletcher was the last defender, and Fabregas was in a dangerous position to score a goal. Additionally, although Fletcher knocked the ball away from Fabregas, was it out of danger at this point? Without bringing Fabregas down, Fabregas is still in a dangerous position to score. It's definitely DOGSO if you treat the two acts together, and it's still arguably DOGSO if you treat the two acts separately (Fletcher really didn't knock the ball that far away from Fabregas).
- I just think your wording is misleading in that it makes the reader believe there was a bad decision, when in fact it was at the very least a controversial decision. This doesn't come across in the article. --Belegorn (talk) 22:33, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- PeeJay, thanks for cleaning that up. It looks good.--Belegorn (talk) 16:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Man United v Man City (2009) & Man United v Arsenal (1990)
Think it's a good idea to start these articles? The former has been voted the greatest match in Premier League history and the latter purely because of the 21 man brawl and the subsequent point deductions, which made the early-mid 2000s encounters seem tame. VEOonefive 12:23, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Scaling error with football line-ups
Hi PeeJay2K3! I noticed that pages that show the football line up are not displayed correctly on the Wikipedia App for smart phones. The player list to the right of the line-up can not be seen. Tablets work ok because they have a bigger screen. I'm not sure if the wikicode has to be changed, the svg, or the Wikipedia app itself. Anyway I attached a screenshot that shows the error. The best way to fix this would be to put the line up under the player lists. This is the link to the page: UEFA_Euro_2012_Group_A#Poland_vs_Russia. --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:56, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

UEFA Champions League
Can you please stop changing the flag of Serbia to Yugoslavia in the UEFA Champions league article? I agree with you that in 1991 and 1966 those teams were representing Yugoslavia but one rule cannot apply to Serbians and not the Germans/Romanians. If the rule for flags is that the flag at the time of their victory is used on wikipedia than why isn't Frankfurt's flag west germany, or Bayern munich's east germany, or Steau Bucharest's People's republic of Romania. The only solution to this problem is if we use the countries those teams represent today. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Branis1av77 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
PeeJay's flag rules
It's quite obvious you have some problem with Serbians that you're taking out on wikipedia. I admit when I wrote Bayern Munich it was a mistake. Munich was in West Germany but even though the west German flag is not different from the current German flag at least the "By nation" section of the page should say west germany and germany based on your rules. Also about Romania according to your rules of flags being the ones used at the time of winning it has to be the communist one. What? Now you have an asterix that says "but not if the borders don't change". Dude you're making up these crazy rules that make no sense. Honestly if you can't see the GROSS double standard here than you shouldn't be editing wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Branis1av77 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
I read it. Did you? "Be careful about citing this principle too aggressively, because just as one can incorrectly judge that another is acting in bad faith, so too can one mistakenly conclude that bad faith is being assumed, and exhortations to "Assume Good Faith" can themselves reflect negative assumptions about others if a perceived assumption of bad faith was not clear-cut." Also please don't threaten me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Branis1av77 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
The reason I said you have something against Serbians is that you spend every day undoing edits and vandalizing Serbian team pages. Why is my argument for the German and Romanian clubs irrelevant? I'm trying to establish a rule for the flags and nations because one rule can't apply for Germans/Romanians and not Serbians. I'm tired of arguing with you because whenever I make a point you just make up some new rule about flags. --Branis1av77 (talk) 17:51, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Scarlets may not have announced the signing as clubs can hold back announcements until there are a number to announce together. Cardiff recently did so with 3 players whose moves were either announced by themselves, or the clubs they were leaving, well before that.

Small favor
Hi there PEE, VASCO here,
could you "accommodate" in Gerard Piqué's article please? I see that you insist on removing the runner-up honours in his list - he received a medal in the Copa del Rey after that second place in 2011 - there is no consensus on that but i won't bother you with that anymore. However, in the player's infobox, could you leave just BARCELONA, SPAIN as the region of birth? CATALONIA would still appear in the body of article, in EARLY CAREER/EARLY LIFE or similar; that's just for a matter of compression man.
Keep up the good work, attentively - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 02:48, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- No reply, OK, but i would still want to add this: the NAMING CUSTOMS tag is not CATALAN it's SPANISH, the names, the persons are Spanish, stemming from various regions. Sorry for bothering you. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 12:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Several WP pages are only pushing their separatist agenda, as i have seen in many instances someone write Joan Capdevila is a CATALAN player. I'll bring this to WP:FOOTY, for closure. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 12:20, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I did not imply CATALONIA had to disappear altogether, just from the box for compression, then it would be referred to in the story's beginnings. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 12:27, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Have just filed my WP:FOOTY report, please participate. Cheers! --Vasco Amaral (talk) 13:51, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Indeed a very aggressive comeback when i have never had any run-in of any sorts with you ("I'm not trying to support some sort of Catalan nationalist cause so don't give me bullshit excuses like "compression"," 1 - EXCUSE? It's not an excuse, i seriously like boxes compressed because the space there is limited; 2 - BULLSHIT?! It's self-explanatory; 3 - ACCUSE YOU OF NATIONALIST AGENDAS? Don't ANTAGONISE ME? When did i do that? Please point me out in that direction in my previous messages); the language issue is very easy to explain, Marco speaks very little English, so i converse with him in Portuguese, i have NOTHING to hide, am very happy to provide translation(s) to our exchanges if/when required.
Also, in the habitual rude demeanor i have encountered in WP:FOOTY, i received no feedback in my discussion, other that you, which doesn't count because you, as me, were the original "founder" of it. Please reply to this message so that any misunderstandings are cleared, even though i feel the "so don't give me bullshit excuses like "compression","" sentence is clearly directed at ME.
P.S. And what did you find so conclusive at Google if i may ask? Attentively - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Some inputs there other than mine and yours, i apologize to the community in general. I really thought it would be "blank" because one full day went by, generally stuff is addressed within some minutes/hours. It seems no consensus is reached 100%, but more opinions say we should abide by those templates, so shall i in the future. Also, about Piqué, you can rest assured on my part, knowing the past of this article, i have longsince desisted to edit there (two years since my last input there i think). The box compressions (elsewhere than Piqué of course) is another issue... --Vasco Amaral (talk) 14:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clearing up mate! Hopefully things between you and Marco will work up, difficult (if not impossible) because you are both (as am i, i admit it) passionate about your edit approaches. Best of luck! --Vasco Amaral (talk) 15:19, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Have already messaged Marco, explaining the outcome of the naming customs discussion and saying i will abide by (so should he thus). About the infobox (and since the region appears in the body of article) i don't see eye to eye, i am sorry, but (lest there should be any misunderstandings again) the region/province/island DEFINITELY should be mentioned in the storyline.
Cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Heineken Cup Final infoboxes
Simply to be consistent, I have put the winning team first. Games are played on neutral grounds so makes no odds in that respect. Not a problem if you feel this is not the right thing to do; easy to fix: in each case edit the infobox and change "team1=" / "team1association=" / "team1score=" to "team2=" etc and vice versa. Don't even have to reorder the items... Hamish59 (talk) 22:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Santo, Sam & Ed's Cup Fever
Hi Peejay. I removed the deletion request from this article because it said that if it was left up for a week then the whole page would be deleted. Nothing was made mention of it for discussion on the talk page, and I think it should be moved there before nominating it for deletion.

- Unlike America, in Australia and Great Britain there are many television series that may only run for one season. There are many articles about these TV shows on wikipedia. Santo, Sam and Ed's Cup Fever! is one such series. This limited run TV series also led to a spin-off regular series Santo, Sam and Ed’s Sports Fever!. There is also a chance that the original TV series will be revived again in four years for the next World Cup. J Bar (talk) 06:35, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
History Lesson
You do realize that Serbia was a part of Yugoslavia similar to how England is a part of great Britain? It's not on the other side of the world. I can't believe that you can't see the horrible double standard you have with Germany, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Also guess what buddy? The actual squad for Red Star and Partizan at the time were 95%+ Serbian, a lot more than your precious Manchester United will ever be English. In fact Yugoslavia only lasted a few months after Red Star won the champions league. Your level of disrespect towards the Serbian people is appalling. You do realize that Nikola Tesla (a Serbian) discovered AC electricity, which powers the internet, the same medium you use to bash them. Ironic isn't it?--Branis1av77 (talk) 11:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- PeeJay2K3, I beleave this user could be reported perhaps. The ammount of absurdity is enormous. FkpCascais (talk) 16:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- While the amount of absurdity is enormous, this issue should be discussed or even explained at the talk page where he tried to start a discussion without any respons. I don't know why we list the Serbian clubs as Yugoslavian, and it is probably of lot of those out there, and it would be simpler to provide an edit summary with "see talk" where the issue is explained, then trying to explain it in every edit summary in the ongoing edit-war. Mentoz86 (talk) 11:29, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I am Serbian and I wouldn´t mind if we put a Serbian flag on the teams, I was more anoyed why the user was using so much unrelated arguments. I am already used that the flags are constantly changed (Serbian,Yugoslav,Serbian,Yugoslav...), and I don´t give it that much importance... On one side I support historical consistancy of using the flags of the countries the clubs represented back then, and on the other side, it would be perhaps simplier to use the flags of present day countries the clubs represent, and it makes even more sense in the case of Serbia, because Serbia is considered by FIFA and UEFA and the only direct successor of Yugoslavia. FkpCascais (talk) 21:48, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- @PeeJay, I kind of felt sympatethic towards you as you were being accused of hateriot and other bad stuff on behalve of a fellow countryman of mine while I know that you don´t deserve any of that. You know, with all the Yugoslav Wars and the harsh propaganda against Serbs that happend (some justified, some don´t, but mostly exagerated), many Serbian users are used with the fact that in many situations on English Wikipedia the anti-Serb side wins (mostly politics, history and such stuff), and there is a possible feeling of "when it´s something good, its Yugoslav, when it´s bad it´s Serbian", so that is why this exagerated reactions happend, as some new Serbian editor may easily fall into the tempation of "Hey, once again they are screwing us!"... It´s not that this kind of reactions are common, but they happend, however I am bit tired of them as they end up having the opposite reaction on people which just by accident found themselfs in it, as was your case. People need to be more calm and there are better ways of saying things.
- I´l take a look latter and see what could possibly be the best, easiest and more appropriate solution, and I´ll let you know here what I think about it. FkpCascais (talk) 08:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Style of 2012–13 Manchester City F.C. season
Hey PeeJay. Hope you are bearing up well, it's been a bit since we talked.
Just wanted to consult you on the style of 2012–13 Manchester City F.C. season. I believe we have discussed this before, and I have made plain my preference for a well-designed and laid-out article over enforcing the uniform standards of the majority of articles. Recently an unregistered user came to the new season's article and changed the entire page to the style in use on a number of other season articles, but one which has been consistently rejected by the editors of the City pages. I reverted back, asking him in the edit summary to explain his decision or hold fire - he simply reverted my changes with no comment. I admit I came close to edit warring before going directly to his talk page; he editted back again and never replied. Since then, another user has made plain his disliking of the new style, another rollbacker and my (our) good friend Paul Bradbury has joined in the reversions and a number of other users have attempted to revert some or all of his layout changes to little effect. I would just like to know whether you consider it bad form me to continue reverting the changes until we at the very least get an explanation from the user, and if it is indeed not objectionable that we prefer our own unique layout, that you could possibly suggest a method we could use to protect our layout? I fear if we keep reverting, that the edit war will indeed happen until a sysop steps in one way or another. I am willing to use my rollback status to protect the page, but I can only do so much...
Your thoughts? Falastur2 Talk 19:06, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- Problem is, I've tried to engage him in conversation and he made no response. That was 2-3 days ago now, at least. No attempts at contacting him have elicited any sort of response (unless you call a revert a response). As I see it, the two responses available are letting him have his way (not something I'm intent on doing if I can help it) or giving him a sysop warning/block - but that's something I can't do, and anyway there might be a third way, which is why I came for your advice.
- A MoS may be overdue, though given the widespread use of the style that has been imposed on my article, I am not sure it'd end up being one that any of us on the City articles entirely like ;) And the collapsible footballboxes weren't my preference - they were the preferred ideal of MLITH, who made widespread reforms to our articles and...much as he solicited me (constantly) for advice generally got to institute what he liked best in any given situation. My preferred style is this type, which I constantly used until I essentially gave up and ceded creative control to MLITH. Now his style is the accepted, but honestly I prefer it to some types. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of your own ;) For one thing, I dislike the way it doesn't show opposing scorers, nor other things like stadium, referee, etc - plus, I used that style incessantly for my 1900's era City season articles (for lack of information about opposing scorers, mostly) and I actually found it a little confusing to tell whether the score on the left was for the home team or for the team the article is about. Fine for home games, confusing for aways :) I guess you get used to it though.
- Anyway, given that I can't get through to this guy, ideas? Or would you suggest I keep going and try to get a response? Falastur2 Talk 22:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello there Peejay, just wanted to state that I found these two articles, the first article says that Johnson joined United in 2001, while the second article from the The Football Association states that Johnson in his own words, left Crewe for United at the age of 15, meaning that he would join United in 1997. Which one of these references do you think are correct? If so, should I change the year to 1997? Another thing, the first reference says that he attended the Christleton High School, should we include that and delete the Bishops' Blue Coat Church of England High School, or should both be kept? Because I'm not sure which of these references are reliable? Arbero (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, according to The Football Association article above. I'll make the changes now if you approve it. Arbero (talk) 22:47, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
These books can be a bit tricky sometimes. One might be confused whether the information is written in own words, or copied from somewhere else. But thanks for remanding me, I wasn't aware of that, and I apologise if I removed some of that hard work of yours – I'll try and keep a closer eye next time. ;) Arbero (talk) 18:35, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

From one football fan to another surely its time that the "Big Four Dominance"section of the Premier League is deleted.Granted as a fellow Man Utd fan I'm not being biased at all but Liverpool are not a top four club anymore.Even the top pundits and football writers accept this,well maybe not Alan Hansen.With Man City winnning the league last year wouldn't it be justified in removing this pointless and out of date section?DColt (talk) 07:09, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Walter G's talk page
He asks a question to which the answer had already been provided by me, then deletes your answer! Ho hum. However: John is correct: Monaco is an independent sovereign nation. However, it has no National Football Association,(I very much doubt that there is any football activity other than AS Monaco: I've just checked the entire country on google earth, and there are no other patches of grass the size and shape of a football pitch) so all football there is under the auspices of the FFF. It is more analogous to the Channel Islands being not part of England, but all football there being under the FA. However, in terms of Toronto, Walter is clearly spouting errant nonsense, as we have both observed, but he would evidently rather delete the proofs of the fact than admit his error.

- Hi, I've no idea about "vested interest", it's just an editor with very strong feelings about the result, strong enough to obscure other issues like the dubious way the result was enhanced. I note now that the last contributor Mentzo did actually note that there had been an original RM "There were a previous discussion about this three months ago, and that discussion can be seen here. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)", but 20 June was after the rest of us had come and see a one-sided argument only and the supports had snowballed, and then 21 June it was closed. Also Mentzo didn't check the Talk history to find out why the old RM was suddenly archived - after all who would? No one spotted the puppetry by the IP of the archive bot on any of the RMs affected.

Hi PeeJay, I guess you heard that the Premier Reserve League an the Premier Academy League where both folded. So I wonder if you would be able to change the lead/move if neccesery the Manchester United F.C. Reserves and Academy article. Now that there is only one league which only futures U21s and another team using the U18 we need to rewrite the article. I saw on ManUtd.com that they also changed the headings in the former "reserves" and "acadamy" sections.

in this player's article, first i reverted you after seeing you had summarily removed my reference and BOTH my external links, Portuguese as the player. I reinstated those, really why did they have to go?
Then, after seeing the (gross) error of my ways, i have reinstated everything you have added, with minor rephrasing overall. I also added one link so you can see he has changed teams (TRANSFERMARKT.com). The only thing i think will need more update is the infobox lineup, i don't know how to put it correctly.

Inter Milan naming issue
Personally, I'd try to grab more feedback from the WP:FOOTY project (how about posting about this specific issue there? We have naming convention for sports clubs, don't we?) before to open a RM. I'd rather avoid having only a handful of user deciding the name for the article about one of the top European clubs, and a decision that might affect all football club articles in the whole English Wikipedia project. After we have enough users aware of the issue, we can then consider opening a new RM. (Please note I'll have little access to the Internet until Monday, I'm out for holidays at the moment). Cheers, --Angelo (talk) 20:07, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- As I'm on holidays, I was totally unaware of that. Left my 2 cents in the section, I'd personally recommend you to keep the discussion alive and try to gather as much feedback as possible; and then opening a RM once we have a clear consensus for a naming choice, whatever it might be (I am definitely and only in favour of switching it back to the old name, but it doesn't have to be like that of course).

What part of WP:TPO gave you the authority to remove my comments? Removing other editor's comments is rarely acceptable and I would be grateful if you would reinstate it.
Approaching other editors by posting a notification of a discussion that presents the topic in a non-neutral manner and posting messages to editors selected for their known opinions is also considered unacceptable. Leaky Caldron 09:35, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- I have requested that you reinstate my neutral observation about your opinion that WP policy appears to support Inter Milan. Will you please reinstate it as requested? Leaky Caldron 09:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- It is highly relevant in that it demonstrates the complete inconsistency and lack of credibility in your argument. I think anyone in that debate is entitled to know that while you appear to support the move per existing policy you still want to change it and are willing to lobby for it using techniques that are frowned upon. It also shows that your opinion, while vociferous, is based on little more than simply not liking the move. I've restored it. Leaky Caldron 10:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

See Wikipedia talk:Article titles#The role of template:movenotice in title changes.

And as you will read in the above link, interested editors will either have the page on their watch list, or they will come across the move via the RM list or some other Wikipedia advert such as on the talk page of a project eg Talk:List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners#Move discussion in progress. Few if any editors are likely to arrive on the page during a week of the RM takes place, see the tag and join in the debate.
The opinions of new users and IP addresses are not considered in move requests (to discourage sockpuppetry), and as controversial move requests are often quite hostile, it is not a suitable portal for newcomers. -- PBS (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Edit war at European Cup and UEFA Champions League history
I have seen the comment you have posted at User talk:Uricoll, and I largely agree with what you said there. However, please bear in mind that, even if you are convinced you are right, edit warring is not constructive. Your posting to the user's talk page is a first step to resolving the dispute, and I have added another note of my own, so perhaps the user will begin to understand what the problems are. If not, then it will be necessary to consider other ways of approaching the dispute, but I suggest it would be best for you to avoid edit warring, as it could lead to your being blocked, which would not be the best way forward.

Disambiguation link notification for September 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Minnesota Vikings season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Donald Brown (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.

Wikipedia:Peer review/FC Bayern Munich/archive1
Would you like to participate in this peer review? Kingjeff (talk) 00:59, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi there PJ, AL here,
i know exactly what would happen if i tried to reinstate the runner-up honours (even though medals were handed out, you think a runner-up honour in the Copa América is not worth mentioning i rest my case), so i left them be. But i've initiated a WP:FOOTY discussion, please drop by.
Only favour if you can accommodate please: can the official website be the LAST in the external links section? First the sporting-related sources, then the personal ones (i think you will also revert me, because you relocated the link in the first place).
Attentively - --AL (talk) 14:31, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- And i apologize for my (first) summary in this player's article, not insulting but a bit hysterical. Sorry man, i just think your way of presenting the references is over the top in detail, but my reaction was stupid!
And i hope you win the league this year, Fergie Boys always over the Money Boys (Man.City, Chelsea). The discussion is there already. --AL (talk) 14:51, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Why won't you reply or, at least, engage in the WP:FOOTY discussion? Is it because of my summary in Heinze? I admit it was uncalled for and i have already APOLOGIZED for it. --AL (talk) 20:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, since i am unfortunately unemployed, i think that people spent all their time editing like myself :( Regarding your last edits to the player: 1 - i'm getting more and more accustomed to the piped club names in storyline, even though i prefer otherwise; 2 - this is the department in which i have more trouble, the references display. Why not a more simple approach like the following (1 CITE NEWS or WEB/2 URL/3 TITLE/4 PUBLISHER or NEWSPAPER/5 LANGUAGE (if needed)/6 DATE/7 ACCESSDATE)? I have seen it/made it like this in several articles. In Heinze's article, thus, as an example, i think it would be sufficient in PUBLISHER/NEWSPAPER to write "Newell's Old Boys", why the "newellsoldboys.com.ar" afterwards?
Also, per your WP:FOOTY approach, i assume i can reinstate the runner-up honours (don't worry, i won't until you reply)? Also per your comment there, i agree and i never implied it in case you were wondering, fourth-places should NEVER be mentioned man, that's not an honour by no means. Peace! --AL (talk) 23:52, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well, and what do you think of the inputs so far? Seems pretty consensual to me. --AL (talk) 17:45, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
- Greetings, i have started a voting session in WP:FOOTY, please cast your vote when you can, maybe some consensus will emerge regarding this runner-up approach. --AL (talk) 23:59, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Sweden vs Qatar U23
Hey there. I would appriciate it if you joined in on our conversation on WT:FOOTY regarding the match back in January between Sweden and Qatar U23. I don't think anythings been settled regarding this and the last thing I want is to get into an edit war with a couple other users. The point I'm trying to make is that if match is between the Swedish senior national team and the Qatar under-23 national team, it shouldn't count as a full international. So hopefully you can help me out with this by joining the discussion. – Michael (talk) 21:16, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi there PJ, AL "here",
i started another WP:FOOTY discussion because i am so convinced of my approach (as you may see for yourself not only MY approach). Even though the turnout was poor again (not my fault there), everybody said the runner-up honours should be added.
Thus, i was bold and reinstated the honours in his article. A runner-up IS an honour man, medals are handed out. In Copa América's case, it's "only" the most important competition in CONMEBOL, so it's very important even to reach the final.
Of course, out of respect, i notified you about my change. Please drop a line at the discussion if you like, but i think no harm is done by allowing these accolades to stay, just the contrary.
Happy weekend, keep safe - --AL (talk) 17:16, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
