How's the order? Home team last? Winning team first? What? -- Howard the Duck 04:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
When's someone going to move the March 2008 stuff into the archive?? — Dale Arnett ( talk) 19:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Split time... — Dale Arnett ( talk) 17:56, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone want to follow that convention? Why are European competitions seem to be excluded from this rule? -- Howard the Duck 03:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hullo. The use of {{ Current events box}} inside a table made Opera (but not IE7 or Firefox) add 250 pixels of whitespace between the text and the tables (actually, I have no idea why it did this!), so I removed the wrapper table. The infobox class is aligned to the right by default anyway, and all the boxes stack up nicely in the browsers I've been able to test it on (the ones mentioned above, all on Windows). Please report any problems this might create in other browsers, but it really shouldn't.
Another layout question. This portal, as well as many of the other CE portals, has an empty div element above each date heading. Is that actually used for anything? If not, they should be removed, and if they are needed, their id attributes should be changed to something valid, i.e. something beginning with a letter. -- Jao ( talk) 16:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, a group of regulars at Template:In the news, is currently being extraordinarily forward thinking and discussing how to handle coverage of the Beijing Olympics results on the Main Page. Consensus seems to be coalescing around the idea of linking to a separate page for Olympics coverage. We'd be interested to hear if you guys already have something planned that we can integrate in, or if you'd be interested in helping maintain the proposed page. Discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Sports on ITN#Olympics and other multiple-sport events and we welcome your participation. Thanks, Banyan Tree 02:40, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I have reverted an edit to Saturdays' Euro 2008 results which swapped the order of the teams to put the winning team first, on the grounds that the competition is being played on neutral grounds and there's no home and away team (except for Austria and Switzerland, naturally). The order in which teams are reported is determined by UEFA as a result of the competition draw, and Wikipedia should not set itself up as somehow "knowing better" than everybody else. See here for a match report in a British newspaper, here for a German one, here for a Dutch one, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian. Point made? -- Arwel ( talk) 23:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
I had a huge block of football results just now because there were no results. It was taking up a big block of space without saying anything. Don't put results in until you have the scores, otherwise it becomes a free for all of empty results without saying anything. -- Falcadore ( talk) 20:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
