Red Star Belgrade former players columns

Hello. Do you understand that with 5 columns most names are broken into 2 lines because in many devices there is no space for 5 columns and that makes the list visually look very unestethic? Besides, names being broken that way when less columns would fix the problem is preferable by Wikipedia principles and rules. Would yoyu be kind to revert yourself and restore 3 columns that fix the poblem? FkpCascais (talk) 11:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see you didnt respond or fixed the problem. Names of players listed should not be broken into two lines, which is how it is displayed in most devices when 5 or 4 columns are added there. So 3 columns fixes that problem and it is the appropriate number of columns for that case. I am an over a decade-long football editor, so be sure me in personal life being a Partizan fan is completelly irrelevant, I changed from 5 to 3 columns as well when someone did that at Partizan article. I am here to comply with Wikipedia rules and principles and manual of style and I try to improve all articles regardless of my personal preferences.

Pozdrav

Do not remove the semifinals of the Red Star in the 1991-92 championship in the Champions League, because the second-placed teams are counted as semifinalists. These are Sparta from Prague and Red Star. You are right on the Serbian version of FK Red Star and FK Sparta Prague and IFK Göteborg and Rangers 1992-93.

Serbian spelling vs English spelling

Hello SotirSoca, I noteced some of your recent edits at Red Star Belgrade in which you were pipping the names of people to show the Serbian spelling of the name, for exemple Milko Gjurovski to Milko Đurovski. I know you and some other editors have been doing this, but I must remind you that this encyclopedia is written for English-language readers, and it is important to have the names written in the way they write them. Exemple, don´t change Dan Tana to his proper name, because what matters is that English language speakers immeditelly associate that it is Dan Tana we are refering to. It is not relevant how he is known in Serbia. Don´t ever forget this is English-language Wikipedia written towards English-language speakers, if you want to write things in Serbian, then write the Serbian Wikipedia. Regards, FkpCascais (talk) 15:08, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was just fixing redirects to certain pages, including Gjurovski brothers. Their surname has different spellings on English Wikipedia, Boško Gjurovski and Milko Djurovski. How is that possible? SotirSoca (talk) 16:00, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw you fixed some links, and you did them right (the pipping to say Đurovski is what is the problem). The Gjurovski brothers should both have the surname as Gjuovski. The rules are at Romanization of Macedonian. Unfortunatelly, Macedonians changed their romanization to a different way, previously their romanization was to write the names in Serbo-Croatian Latin. Now they do it as Bulgarian does. English language followed that rule because English, unless has a proper English name (for exemple Red Star Belgrade for FK Crvena zvezda) uses the way local names are written in local way using the rules of romanization of the language when some language is written in other alphabet that not Latin. I will see now the case of Gjurovskis. FkpCascais (talk) 16:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this is what happened. Initially, like 10 years ago, both articles had the title as Djurovski. That is because back then the official romanziation of Macedonian was to write it in Serbo-Croatian Latin. But somewhere later the Macedonian governament changed that and issued a decree on how romanization of Macedonian should be done (VMRO basically changed it to Bulgarian way except few cases Macedonian is different, like this case of the Ѓ´s). English language follows each language rules, so adopted that as well. Macedonian editors changed the titles accordingly, but at Milko Gjurovski case, that spelling was already a redirect. When that happends, only an administrator can move the page to a new title, and until today nobody had the time to ask some admin to do it. Boško Djuovski by the way should be Boshko Gjurovski. Me personally, I don´t favour this, I think is stupid as hell, they should have kept using Serbo-Croatian Latin, but unfortunatelly the reality is this one.

Capitalization of 'Zvezda'

Hello,

Can I ask you for your reasoning as to why you have removed the capitalization of the word 'Zvezda' in the team title 'Crvena Zvezda'?

It doesn't make sense to me, and I have a feeling that it may actually be incorrect grammar-wise. I believe that the whole team title of 'Crvena Zvezda' should be capitalized. Look forward to hearing back from you. Cheers. Docholliday11 (talk) 12:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The correct name of the club in Serbian is Crvena zvezda. The word 'zvezda' is not capitalized in this case, it's capitalized only if we just say Zvezda which is the club's nickname. Cheers. SotirSoca (talk) 10:20, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The greatest success since 1992

Why is the placement among the 32 best teams in the Europa League is a greater success than the placement among the 16 teams in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup? I think that if Zvezda biggest successes after 1992 are the group stage of the Champions League and the knockout phase among 32 teams in the Europa League, it must also be in the round of 16 of the Cup Winners' Cup 1996/97. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VucoCar (talk • contribs) 13:06, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Players' statistics in Yugoslav Cup

Hello, I tried to find statistics of Crvena zvezda players in Yugoslav Cup for the article about Robert Prosinecki but failed. In 2018 you add statistics in this article for the whole squad. If you remember the source, can you share it with me? Big thanks! Илья Яковлев (talk) 18:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my source was a forum of Red Star fans where they posted newspaper articles for every match and it was mostly my own research. Unfortunately, that forum doesn't exist anymore but I can give you another source where you can find statistics for every cup that Red Star managed to win. However, I found out that there are some mistakes in those lists. Best regards! SotirSoca (talk) 14:06, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
