Redirecting Champions League templates

Hello. You may want to have another look at how you've redirected the {{UEFA Champions League winners by club}} and {{UEFA Champions League winners by nation}} templates. The main UEFA Champions League article transcludes the former, but what arrives is the entire article List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners, complete with notice of proposed merge, image, notes and references. The article European Cup and UEFA Champions League records and statistics transcludes both, and what arrives is, again, the entire List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners, complete etc etc. Twice. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

For information, problem mentioned at Talk:UEFA Champions League#List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, should all be sorted now and sorry for the inconvenience. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Prix Blumenthal

Would you please consider this for the prize and awards portal? 842U (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

It's not up to me (or any individual for that matter). If you think it comes under the project (and I agree it does) just place {{WikiProject Awards|importance=|class=}} to the talk page of the article. Feel free to do this whenever you think something should belong to the WikiProject and if you have any questions about Award type articles feel free to ask at WT:PRIZE or here if you prefer.

Re: Question

I'm not sure how close the FA and the League were in those days, but they definitely found themselves at odds with each other on this issue. Stanley Rous was secretary of the Football Association at the time; he was definitely a proponent of the international game, and he gave Chelsea his support. However, the Football League was concerned that the travelling Chelsea would need to do would result in them being unable to fulfil league fixtures. Oh, and there was the problem that Alan Hardaker (then the assistant secretary of the league, later secretary from 1957) was a massive footballing xenophobe! – PeeJay 21:07, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Considering United was the first English team to enter European competition, my references on the matter are fairly extensive. – PeeJay 21:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Bikini Bottom (setting)

Could this be restored and revisited with another AfD? The last AfD was 2 years ago. Marcus Qwertyus 18:02, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bikini Bottom (setting) Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:12, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Signpost "Features and admins" column

Hi RR,

The Signpost's "Features and admins" page now includes a "Choice of the week" for featured articles, featured lists and featured pictures. Each week, The Signpost invites a different delegate, reviewer or nominator from each process to select what they think is the best, or their favourite, item, and to give their reasons. These reasons can be technical (e.g., related to the Criteria) or subjective, or both.

Would you be willing to do this with featured lists for next week’s edition? If you agree, promotions from Monday 26 July to Saturday 31 July will be eligible (only six days this week because the publication deadline has come forward). They will be listed here by Saturday UTC, and we would need your text by Sunday UTC. Examples from previous weeks are accessible by clicking on "← PREVIOUS Features and admins" at the bottom. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 19:03, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation. I'm away Saturday afternoon/evening (GMT) through Sunday so it depends what the "by Saturday" is. If the lists to choose from are ready before that I should be fine but, otherwise, I'll struggle. I don't want to rush you for promotions that aren't ready so if you want to ask someone else I'd be fine with that (I'm sure there will be other times!). Sorry to turn the request back on you but I don't know much in terms of Signpost and deadlines. As you (and TRM) dictate the FLC promotions can you decide if you think that schedule will work or not. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to be busy on Saturday as well, so I will probably promote on Friday to be sure. If you can do it anytime between Friday evening and Sunday evening (GMT/UTC), that's great; if not, that's fine too. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Should be able to do Saturday morning (or worst comes to worst late Sunday). Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:55, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! For some reason a lot of people are away this weekend. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:03, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for this as well. Let me add today's promotions to the Signpost page, and then it should be ready for you. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 20:09, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I saw your promotions and began drafting my comments anyway. :p Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

It's ready for you. Thanks again for helping out after relatively short notice. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I've taken a shot at it. Please feel free to tell me if I'm on the wrong tangent. If you want to rip the prose apart (I don't mind you refactoring my quote), no need to ask, be my guest! :) Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ( Sasata (submissions), Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
