Adnan Januzaj
Why isn't Adnan Januzaj notable? He won reserve player of the year award and has once been in the squad for a Premier League match. KOwool (talk) 15:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
The |stadium = parameter
I saw you removed the "|stadium =" parameter in CEDEAO Cup, for which I recently added details. Please do not do that because it results something that looks like this
Ivory Coast | 2–0 | Nigeria |
---|---|---|
Compare with this: (WITH void parameter |stadium =)
Ivory Coast | 2–0 | Nigeria |
---|---|---|
Also, when you use |penaltyscore =, but are not aware of the scorers, please add void parameters |penalties1= and |penalties2=, otherwise it will result in something like this:
Ivory Coast | 2–0 | Nigeria |
---|---|---|
Penalties | ||
3–2 |

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Request to take part in a survey
I am Piotr Konieczny, a fellow Wikipedian (User:Piotrus) and a researcher of Wikipedia (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gdV8_AEAAAAJ). I am currently (in collaboration with WMF) embarking on a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. We have a growing understanding of why an average editor may do so (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), but we have a very limited understanding of why the top editors would limit their contributions. Yet it is the top editors like yourself who contribute most of Wikiepdia's content, thus understanding this is of vital concern to Wikipedia's project future.
I am contacting you because you are among the top Wikipediana by number of edits, yet your editing activity shows a decline. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and answer the following four short questions. Please note this is not a mass email; I am contacting only few dozen of editors like yourself, and each response is extremely valuable. Your response will not be made public, and your privacy will be fully respected.
If you would like to help out in this project and take part in a very short survey, please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:32, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, did you have the opportunity to consider my request? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:49, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I can't email you any questions as I believe you did not enable WP:EMAIL. Would you prefer me to post the questions here instead? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

To answer your question, because "Manchester United" is not ambiguous to uneducated readers, whereas "Milan" being AC Milan is only obvious (to non footie fans) by comparison to Inter Milan.

Template:1. FC Nürnberg squad
You moved Template:1. FC Nuremberg squad to Template:1. FC Nürnberg squad. While I am indifferent about the change itself, I think it is not good to be inconsistent with the club's main page 1. FC Nuremberg. Kq-hit (talk) 20:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Article titles clearly states that "Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources) as such names will be the most recognizable and the most natural." It goes on to say "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." So, why are you making an issue out of it? Kingjeff (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
You are comparing an actual policy with a guideline. The guideline and policy doesn't really agree. 21:40, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
But I don't believe the policy is wrong. Kingjeff (talk) 21:42, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
You must not be content to rule over people who edit English football articles. Now you want to rule over people who edit German football articles. Kingjeff (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Can you provide 10 sources that use the former? Kingjeff (talk) 21:48, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
1. FC Nuremberg's website doesn't count. It's their own website. Most of the websites you provided doesn't have the umlaut. Therefore, it's really Nuremberg as opposed to Nürnberg. Kingjeff (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just noticed your edits. I've referred this to the project talk page to decide whether the main club page should be moved as well. J Mo 101 (talk) 22:56, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
It's not the same word. The Anglicized version of Nürnberg is Nuernberg, not Nurnberg. I'm not excessively concerned about anything. The issue is about you and getting more authority over others. Kingjeff (talk) 01:15, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

European winners templates
Hi PeeJay2K3, I hope you are doing fine. I am here to appeal your recent removing of replicated images from the winning tournament templates. It is permitted to create replica images on Wikipedia, and is actually the norm on Wikipedia for winning competition templates. And although it is unfortunate that you find them ugly, someone took a lot of time to create them and to contribute them to Wikipedia. Since these trophies fall in line with the normal layout for competition templates, I see no reason to remove these replicated images, unless you can come up with something better, otherwise I suggest keeping the trophies as a visual representation and identifier in the template. As is the case with all other international templates. (Seriously there around 20-30 of these templates all which include the trophy in the template, and you keep removing the trophies from three of them) we can open a discussion regarding these images, and debate their inclusion in the template. But if you continue to remove them from these three templates in question. European Cup and Champions League winners, UEFA Cup and Europa League winners and the UEFA Super Cup template, I will report this as vandalism. Please take the necessary steps of opening a discussion for removal of the images and go through the proper channels, if you feel you can argue a strong enough point which will lead to the removal of these images. But otherwise please refrain from removing them or I will report it. Thank you for you consideration, and have a nice day. Subzzee (talk) 14:53, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) - Hi Subzee. Before you go ahead and report PeeJay for vandalism, you should be aware of that this and this is also edit warring that might lead to a block. What you are doing right now, starting a discussion about the issue is exactly what you should do - and until a consensus is reached, neither of you should revert eachother. As a sidenote, I believe the image should be removed alonng with the flag, and I believe that is in line with MOS:ICONS which states that we shouldn't use too many icons because it clutters the page. Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 13:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Mentoz86, thank you for taking your time to contribute to this discussion. I see your point with the flag indicators, but personally I disagree. I feel as though they are a great help in understanding the template better, and provide a visual key to organizing the various title winners, as well as contribute additional information pertaining to each title winner, also helping to serve as an identifier of sorts. It is applied in the sense that serves as showing of which country the title winner was a representative, and in that sense is in accordance to MOS:ICONS. The icons as well as the display of the replicated trophy is found on various templates for many sporting events, and I don't see why it should not be applied for footballing tournaments as well as currently is the case. This is actually how it is displayed for every tournament for every confederation, and I don't see why these three templates in question should not follow the same layout uniform to what can be considered a norm, for these sort of templates. I look forward to your responses. Best regards, Subzzee (talk) 17:21, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Using flags in that way, especially tiny flags, does however run counter to several points in the section MOS:ICONS#Accompany flags with country names, which says:
- The name of a flag's country (or province, etc.) should appear adjacent to the first use of the flag icon, as virtually no readers are familiar with every flag, and many flags differ only in minor details. ... Use of flag templates without country names is also an accessibility issue, as it can render information difficult for color blind readers to understand. In addition, flags can be hard to distinguish when reduced to icon size. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:02, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- If I can bring the discussion back to the original topic of the trophy images, those should definitely go. The trophies themselves are copyrighted works, and I would imagine even a drawing of their likeness is subject to that copyright. You could claim that this falls under Fair Use, but since the only reason I can see for them being there is decoration, any Fair Use claim would be invalid. As for the flags, they probably fall foul of MOS:ICON and should also be removed, as Struway and Mentoz have said. – PeeJay 17:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- I do believe that the Fair use rationale applies to the trophies in the template, as it is mainly used to help identify the subject, and for education or informative purposes, and as there are no commercial intentions in their usage, they are not merely included for decor, but to help the reader identify the subject of the template and to help distinguish the various tournament winning temaplates from one another. I also believe this is the rationale that is applied for all other sports templates that include their trophies, and don't see why it should be any different for the football tournament winner templates. In regards to the flags, if anyone is unfamiliar with the flag they can simply click on it, and it brings the reader to the page of the country in question, it is also a visual aid and helps to identify the subject of which the flag is helping as an indicator. If you remove these visual identifiers, there is nothing left to help distinguish between the information in the data string, and you are left with nothing but names and numbers. Subzzee (talk) 12:21, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure identification of the subject only applies to articles, to avoid overuse of non-free images. By the way, thank you for notifying me about the other templates that include images of the trophies so that I can remove those images later too. As for the flags, why would you need to link to the clubs' countries from a navbox? That should be done from the main article, not a navbox designed to help you navigate between the members of the list. – PeeJay 22:35, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- If you are looking at a team that has won every single trophy out there (yours has probably only won those three, because you left all the other navboxes alone), and you have that many boxes to navigate, they are all visual cues which help guide the user and make it more user friendly, it is information which helps to identify the target, as visual indicators, for both the icons as well as the image help to improve its use, it is good design, adheres to the rule of thirds. and I am pretty sure it will cause quite the stir if you decide to go and start altering all these navboxes from all these different sports (hockey, baseball, basketball, olympics,..). I am happy to see all your friends in your support, but maybe spark this debate in a more public setting so that others who might not frequent your talk page may be included in this discussion. Several users on wikipedia have created templates of this sort for various sports and it took a lot of time and effort, I would hope to find reason and to have acknowledged that there is no violation here. To remove something simply because you deem it "ugly" is not a very democratic approach nor is it very considerate, if you are going to "crusade" your way through all of these templates (good luck on all olympic navboxes), you might want to see how many objections, and how much approval there really is, because I disagree.

- Wikipedia policies trump "user friendliness" every time, so I think I would be well within my rights to remove any trophy images. I will begin my "crusade", as you call it, through the football articles, as I believe I have a decent amount of support from members of WP:FOOTY. Navboxes covered by other WikiProjects aren't my responsibility, so you lucked out there. – PeeJay 08:52, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

- I'm pretty sure identification of the subject only applies to articles, to avoid overuse of non-free images. By the way, thank you for notifying me about the other templates that include images of the trophies so that I can remove those images later too. As for the flags, why would you need to link to the clubs' countries from a navbox?

- I do believe that the Fair use rationale applies to the trophies in the template, as it is mainly used to help identify the subject, and for education or informative purposes, and as there are no commercial intentions in their usage, they are not merely included for decor, but to help the reader identify the subject of the template and to help distinguish the various tournament winning temaplates from one another. I also believe this is the rationale that is applied for all other sports templates that include their trophies, and don't see why it should be any different for the football tournament winner templates. In regards to the flags, if anyone is unfamiliar with the flag they can simply click on it, and it brings the reader to the page of the country in question, it is also a visual aid and helps to identify the subject of which the flag is helping as an indicator. If you remove these visual identifiers, there is nothing left to help distinguish between the information in the data string, and you are left with nothing but names and numbers. Subzzee (talk) 12:21, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- If I can bring the discussion back to the original topic of the trophy images, those should definitely go. The trophies themselves are copyrighted works, and I would imagine even a drawing of their likeness is subject to that copyright. You could claim that this falls under Fair Use, but since the only reason I can see for them being there is decoration, any Fair Use claim would be invalid. As for the flags, they probably fall foul of MOS:ICON and should also be removed, as Struway and Mentoz have said. – PeeJay 17:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- The name of a flag's country (or province, etc.) should appear adjacent to the first use of the flag icon, as virtually no readers are familiar with every flag, and many flags differ only in minor details. ... Use of flag templates without country names is also an accessibility issue, as it can render information difficult for color blind readers to understand. In addition, flags can be hard to distinguish when reduced to icon size. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:02, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Using flags in that way, especially tiny flags, does however run counter to several points in the section MOS:ICONS#Accompany flags with country names, which says:
- Hello Mentoz86, thank you for taking your time to contribute to this discussion. I see your point with the flag indicators, but personally I disagree. I feel as though they are a great help in understanding the template better, and provide a visual key to organizing the various title winners, as well as contribute additional information pertaining to each title winner, also helping to serve as an identifier of sorts. It is applied in the sense that serves as showing of which country the title winner was a representative, and in that sense is in accordance to MOS:ICONS. The icons as well as the display of the replicated trophy is found on various templates for many sporting events, and I don't see why it should not be applied for footballing tournaments as well as currently is the case. This is actually how it is displayed for every tournament for every confederation, and I don't see why these three templates in question should not follow the same layout uniform to what can be considered a norm, for these sort of templates. I look forward to your responses. Best regards, Subzzee (talk) 17:21, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
New Wales Coast Path WikiProject
I see you're a member of WikiProject Wales and have contributed to Welsh articles. There's a new project, Llwybrau Byw!|Living Paths! under development which you might be able to contribute to. Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path and the many and various activities and attractions. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth!

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Orphaned non-free image File:France rugby.png
Thanks for uploading File:France rugby.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Malpass93! (what I've been up to/drop me a ___) 19:28, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

PNGs replaced by SVGs
Today, I replaced some rugby union logos uploaded by yourself way back with SVGs available at the German Wikipedia. Rather than leave a raft of near-identical templated messages, I thought I'd write something more concise. So, here goes: File:Bath rugby badge.png, File:Bedford blues badge.png, File:Exeter chiefs badge.png, File:London wasps badge.png, File:Newcastle falcons badge.png were replaced, with several other files being tagged with {{Should be SVG|url=example.pdf}} where vector data was found. Thank you, and take care :) Malpass93! (what I've been up to/drop me a ___) 22:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Club-update or pcupdate
Hi there. Just noticed that you replaced club-update and nationalteam-update with pcupdate and ntupdate in Etzaz Hussain's article. This is really no big deal, as they display the same information, but the parameters that you added are deprecated and will most likely be replaced by a bot in the future like the "playername" parameters and other was in November 2012. Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 17:58, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
- Well, we agree on that it is no difference, so I see no point in changing it to the ones that are deprecated. We should instead replace those old parameters with the news ones, to prevent our watchlists being flooded when a bot at some point in the future replaces the old parameters with the new ones.

October 2013
Your recent editing history at European Cup and UEFA Champions League records and statistics shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. 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. Greenman (talk) 12:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Need your help
Hey, since you're one of the top contributors on WP:FOOTY (from what I've seen), I've started a discussion regarding categories relating to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers that I'm trying to sort out. You can read the discussion right here. – Michael (talk) 04:56, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
European Cup and UEFA Champions League records and statistics
Your comments carry no weight: (1) The table you want to remove needs no source indications, as it was obtained by simple processing of easily verifiable raw data. (2) The fact that "CL winners traditionally [are not] grouped by city" is completely immaterial, for Wikipedia does not necessarily need to conform to tradition. The fact of the matter is that the "By City" table has been in this article for 3 1/2 years. Over this rather long period, the article was surely visited by many thousands Wikipedians, who obviously do not share your views about the table or else they would have removed it. You need to respect the work and opinions of others. So back off and move on. Angelo Somaschini (talk • contribs) 18:17, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- Response to your comment in my talk page dated 21 October 2013, 22:24: Your argument has no merit and carries no weight with me. The clubs listed in the table are, in fact, correctly grouped by city not only according to encyclopaedic sources (see, for example, Wikipedia itself: "Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester"; "Chelsea Football Club /ˈtʃɛlsiː/ is an English football club based in Fulham, London"; "Club Atlético de Madrid, SAD (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkluβ aðˈletiko ðe maˈðɾið]), commonly known as Atlético de Madrid, or Atlético, is a Spanish football club based in Madrid"; "Arsenal Football Club is an English Premier League football club based in Holloway, London" [emphasis added], and so forth - feel free to look them all up), but also as a matter of widespread popular culture and common sense (see, for example, countless references in daily newspapers across Europe to games such as "ManU vs. ManC" or "AC Milan vs. Inter Milan" or "Tottenham vs. Arsenal" or "Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid" as, respectively, "Manchester derby", "Milan derby", "London derby", "Madrid derby." Therefore, the "By City" table is clearly not "spurious" and it must stay where it has been for the past 3 1/2 years. Angelo Somaschini (talk • contribs) 9:37, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
2002 FIFA World Cup
Did you read WP:COMMONALITY? North Americans do not use the term stadia although they should be able to infer the meaning.
