Ok, I've been sketching on this project for a while, as seen on the history page, but I think now is the time to make it official. Spread the word, and start making contributions to the project and football articles! -- Elisson • Talk 18:59, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
What do you think about the idea of placing {{ football}} on top of every talk page of articles related to football? Is it overkill or is it a good way of spreading the word? The Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey is placing their banner on every hockey article they come across. IMHO, I think it is a good idea, but shouldn't be overdone. A good start would be placing our banner on the major article's talk pages, such as Talk:Football (soccer) (duh) and Talk:Football World Cup, and as you come across other football articles, placing the banner on them too. No need to rush out and search for football articles to place the banner on just to boost your edit count. Suggestions? -- Elisson • Talk 19:28, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
I've been thinking about creating a football collaboration of the fortnight for a while, and this looks like the right place to do it. Does anyone have any comments about whether the frequency sounds reasonable (I don't think there will be enough interested contributors to make it weekly, so I think changing it every fortnight would be best to begin with) or anything else? CTOAGN 14:47, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
Having looked at WP:COTW, I think WP:AID is closer to what I had in mind as I'm more interested in turning good articles into FAs than improving stubs. I also like the voting system it uses (vote for as many candidates as you like) and the idea of voting weekly, but allowing the same article to be chosen multiple times in a row - that way an article could stay there for as long as people want to improve it. So if people let me know which they'd prefer (or if they're not bothered) I'll set it up on the project page. I think we should start off with just one project covering both stubs and non-stubs until we have more participants though. CTOAGN 23:19, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi. I just noticed this project on the main football page. I was wondering if I could get the Template:Women's football posted to the page as a template for use in (obviously) articles on women's football? - Master Of Ninja 00:41, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
The number of participants isn't growing as quickly as I'd expected, so I'm thinking of leaving messages on a few people's talk pages mentioning the project and asking if they're interested. I'm not talking about spamming half of Wikipedia, but people like Qwlghm, Bornintheguz etc who regularly contribute to football articles. If you know of anyone who'd be interested in joining, please help out.
CTOAGN 18:58, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
Hadn't had much feedback since my last comments so I've set up an Article improvement drive under the project. I decided on an article improvement drive rather than a COTW as the voting system lets us keep articles there for as long as people want it to be there and vote for the same article week after week, solving the "should it be weekly/fortnightly/monthly" question quite well. I've set the bar for nominations to stay up very low, we can raise it when we get a few more collaborators and nominations.
If there are any improvements you can make, be bold, and please nominate or vote for something to help get it off the ground.

Hi. I just saw that User:Wonderfool added the French Football WikiProject. The list of recent articles has some articles which could easily be translated and imported. I've started (trying to) translate some dealing with women's football. Just to bring this new source of potential articles to everyone's notice. - Master Of Ninja 21:52, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Some french speaking persons like me contribute now to the French WikiPorject Football, creating new articles or some articles that are an improvement of the english version, when it is done in French , translations will be done Dingy 11:31, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Should some criteria be set out for a club's notable players (as per the manual of style for clubs)? For example, David Seaman is listed as a notable player for both Arsenal F.C. and Manchester City F.C.. Whilst he is most certainly an Arsenal legend, a few months playing for Manchester City at the age of 40 do not merit his inclusion in the equivalent list for Manchester City IMHO. - Oldelpaso 20:55, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
For the past month, the Football World Cup article has been an edit war revolving around the third place finish at the 1930 World Cup. Does anyone want to step in and try to regulate it? It's getting ridiculous. -- DR31 ( talk) 15:51, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Agreed I was just coming here to post this (below) Jooler 22:24, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
I am becomming weary of an endless edit war between myself and an anon user on Football World Cup, regarding the placing of the USA and Yugoslavia in the 1930 competition. I am seeking sensible arbitration and some hard facts. Please see Talk:Football_World_Cup#Please_Leave_USA_and_Yugoslavia_Flags_Alone Jooler 22:20, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
I don't think there are any 3RR. I believe for a 3RR there need to be 4 reversions within a 24 hour period. Jooler 23:31, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
There is an anon user, who used to be 85.165.217.156 and now seems to be User:SndrAndrss and 85.165.212.241 who is hell-bent on updating World Cup and Euro rosters... Incorrectly. This past week, I reverted Football World Cup 1994 (squads) at least four times after he repeatedly changed Stig Inge Bjørnebye's club. All attempts to contact him went for naught; so I asked User:Dale Arnett to protect the page. Since then he has moved on, first to 1992 European Football Championship (squads), where he did correct one spelling mistake but again, seems hell-bent to change it according to whatever his "correct" idea is. He also added links to non-existent squad pages (since reverted) at Football World Cup 1986, Football World Cup 1990, and 1988 European Football Championship. Previously, he has also tried to change stadium locations at Football World Cup 1994 to incorrect ones. I'm gonna be out of town for a week, and frankly, I'm really tired of reverting this guy. Any help would be appretiated. -- DR31 ( talk) 21:12, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Here's an example from 1992 European Football Championship (squads): he claims Tony Daley was on Wolverhampton in 1992. But according to http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=1883 AND http://www.rsssf.com/tables/92e-full.html, he was on Aston Villa until 1994. But other than protecting the pages, I can't think of any other solutions. That's why I asked for help. He's also had similiar abuse on Europe (band), and other places. -- DR31 ( talk) 22:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
Looks like this user is back as 85.165.197.1, this time on 1996 European Football Championship (squads). I'd revert the lot but it appears some are genuine corrections. Oldelpaso 16:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
Yesterday I created a page for the forthcoming
FIFA U-17 World Championship 2005 and edited the Awards section for the page
FIFA U-17 World Championship . Since I'm new to Wiki and therefore new to this great project. I want to find a template to follow, but i cannot. Current international tournaments are in different styles. For instance,
the introduction page
the details page
It's better to have the same(or similar) template for these tournaments, at least for those uncreated ones , isn't it? i know there's a template for listing the Finals and the 3rd-Place playoff matches in every tournaments of the same competetion, but it seems not enough.
As for the names of these competetions, i also suggest we all follow the same naming conventions.

There are currently proposals to move The Football Association and The Football League to Football Association and Football League respectively. All are welcome to join in the discussions at Talk:The Football Association and Talk:The Football League. Qwghlm 09:20, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
I think we have to draw the line somewhere - is there really anything we can say about this right now? I mean, which confederation is going to host 2018 is a matter of conjecture - this article is guesswork upon guesswork. Perhaps this could be merged into 2018 for the time being. sjorford #£@%&$?! 10:51, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Anyone who can spare a minute to help the janitorial side of things, please go to Talk:Scarborough Football Club and vote on/discuss a proposed move to Scarborough F.C. for consistency's sake. Thanks. Qwghlm 23:28, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Robin van Persie is being repeatedly vandalised by an anonymous IP address ( 82.16.142.131) to add some non-notable joke fanclub. Up until now I've been fixing it myself but I'm going to be away for a few days. Can someone keep an eye on it for me? Thanks. Qwghlm 08:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
As you can easily see, there is a lack of standardization for the way to represent the team rosters. A number of several examples could be found here:
I guess that we all should make a unique standard form to represent the team squads, to be used for all the football articles. Other brand-new proposals are well accepted. Ciao. -- Angelo 20:37, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Arsenal F.C. has been nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Comments and criticisms are welcome. Qwghlm 12:46, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
User:Jeffmilner created Template:Infobox_Football_(soccer)_stadium and started propagating it. I personally don't like it and think it has some features that are downright useless (Surface???). What do you guys think?
-- Sebastian Kessel Talk 23:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi everybody! User:Dale Arnett modified the Football club infobox template with addings about shirt suppliers and sponsors. I guess these information are actually useless for the articles, and even deleterious, coz they are often hard to retrieve (especially for minor teams) or they are subject to frequent changes (often a team has a different sponsor for each competition). Tell me what you think about the matter. Ciao. -- Angelo 18:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
(going on from previous comment, but indenting again might be excessive) Personally I am not in favour of this change. As Angelo says, it gets difficult to find the information for minor teams. I have created infoboxes for many minor english teams because all the information in the infobox was easy to find. The prospect of trying to find current shirt sponsors for teams in the lower reaches of the english football pyramid is not something I look forward to. Plus I'm sure FC Barcelona aren't alone in not having shirt sponsors. Oldelpaso 20:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

(Unindent)Why not? Simple, because is 30 to 40 rows of text, that would even read BETTER on the text. We are even working on a template for them. The "Fan Club" (let's call it that way, for simplicity's sake) maybe should have a place. I really don't understand why we think in terms of "less is more". I think "more is more". A sentence that reads "The team apparel is provided by adidas and the shirt is sponsored by ICA" has much less impact that an infobox entry. I urge you to check out the country infobox and see what they did there. Why should we settle for less? I grant you that is an enormous task to go and fix all the clubs. In the end, that might be the only argument that may discourage me from pursuing this. But, you know, lots of people might pitch in to help, I know I can take 3 or 4 leagues just myself. I don't get why they are "fine as they are", we need to keep evolving. -- Sebastian Kessel Talk 22:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
-- Angelo 21:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC) DO we have any articles on things like this? Do we want them? You see, if we have FIFA U-17 World Championship 2005, then I'd reckon that England national under-21 football team would be a more important article t have. -- Dangherous 14:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
After a long discussion, I guess it is time to approve the new standardization for football team squads. It has been discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Clubs. It would be characterized as follows:
The templates to be made up are explained on the talk too. -- Angelo 21:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I made the Template:nft which cold be very useful. Writing {{nft|Brazil}} will link to the Brazil national team. There was a place to put all this templates around here, but I can't fnd it. -- Wonderfool t (c) 14:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
After few experiments with {{ nft}}, I couldn't get it to work with possibility to change what to show, while leaving it substable. So I made {{ nft2}}; you can now write {{subst:nft2|Belarus|such}} to make such link. -- Monkbel 14:47, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
What about a template for the players' career? Like "Year" "Team" "GP" "Goals" or something like that. I'd be available to put it into some player's articles. -- necronudist 13:07, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
There are now over a dozen stub tags that can be applied to football articles, a lot of them splitting down by continent. In particular, the subcategories of Football (soccer) biography stubs have only just been created, so there is a lot of legwork required to restub these appropriately.
I just made this page, but stumbled when it came to colour schemes, being all numbers. The shirt colours can be found at The homepage. -- Dangherous 17:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
You can find the colour codes in List of colors. Julien Tuerlinckx 18:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

As the England and Argentina football rivalry article is a great one IMHO, but not the only international rivalry worthy of an article, I'd really like to see articles on Argentina and Brazil football rivalry and Germany and the Netherlands football rivalry, to mention two. What other rivalries on this level are a must have? -- Elisson • Talk 00:22, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't know where to place this, but here's my question. As an amateur soccer player, I was wondering if perhaps someone could create an article listing various soccer commands and perhaps their meaning, such as 'man on' or 'cross' or stuff like that. This could also be translated into other languages. Thanks for reading. Gflores Talk 03:20, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I was toying with the idea of doing an article with a list of the team dresses/kits of all national teams, using Template:Football kit. It would be similar to gallery of sovereign state flags, but with football kits instead. What do you think? Is it a good idea? Should I go for it, or cancel the project? • 辻斬り ? 21:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I was looking through Hungary-related player, stadium and club pages and found they are more or less neglected. (Which conforms to the present state of Hungarian football but that's another story.) So I've decided to fix and expand as many entries as I can. This will include the one on Ferenc Puskás, based on the aforementioned German article and the [ |biography] published this year. I'm glad to find this project. -- Biziclop 11:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Me again. A few weeks ago I uploaded two images to Commons which allegedly show football player Abby Dahlkemper (then of the UCLA women's soccer team and now signed with the Western New York Flash). Judging from the UCLA roster of 2014, however, shirt number 21 seems to have belonged to Megan Oyster (current Washington Spirit rookie). Considering that both players kinda do look alike... is the original file description wrong? -- Headlocker ( talk) 15:45, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Robin van Persie is being repeatedly vandalised by an anonymous IP address ( 82.16.142.131) to add some non-notable joke fanclub. Up until now I've been fixing it myself but I'm going to be away for a few days. Can someone keep an eye on it for me? Thanks. Qwghlm 08:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
As you can easily see, there is a lack of standardization for the way to represent the team rosters. A number of several examples could be found here:
I guess that we all should make a unique standard form to represent the team squads, to be used for all the football articles. Other brand-new proposals are well accepted. Ciao. -- Angelo 20:37, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

User:Jeffmilner created Template:Infobox_Football_(soccer)_stadium and started propagating it. I personally don't like it and think it has some features that are downright useless (Surface???). What do you guys think?
-- Sebastian Kessel Talk 23:16, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi everybody! User:Dale Arnett modified the Football club infobox template with addings about shirt suppliers and sponsors. I guess these information are actually useless for the articles, and even deleterious, coz they are often hard to retrieve (especially for minor teams) or they are subject to frequent changes (often a team has a different sponsor for each competition). Tell me what you think about the matter. Ciao. -- Angelo 18:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
(going on from previous comment, but indenting again might be excessive) Personally I am not in favour of this change. As Angelo says, it gets difficult to find the information for minor teams. I have created infoboxes for many minor english teams because all the information in the infobox was easy to find. The prospect of trying to find current shirt sponsors for teams in the lower reaches of the english football pyramid is not something I look forward to. Plus I'm sure FC Barcelona aren't alone in not having shirt sponsors. Oldelpaso 20:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

(Unindent)Why not? Simple, because is 30 to 40 rows of text, that would even read BETTER on the text. We are even working on a template for them. The "Fan Club" (let's call it that way, for simplicity's sake) maybe should have a place. I really don't understand why we think in terms of "less is more". I think "more is more". A sentence that reads "The team apparel is provided by adidas and the shirt is sponsored by ICA" has much less impact that an infobox entry. I urge you to check out the country infobox and see what they did there. Why should we settle for less? I grant you that is an enormous task to go and fix all the clubs. In the end, that might be the only argument that may discourage me from pursuing this. But, you know, lots of people might pitch in to help, I know I can take 3 or 4 leagues just myself. I don't get why they are "fine as they are", we need to keep evolving. -- Sebastian Kessel Talk 22:15, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
-- Angelo 21:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC) DO we have any articles on things like this? Do we want them? You see, if we have FIFA U-17 World Championship 2005, then I'd reckon that England national under-21 football team would be a more important article t have. -- Dangherous 14:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
After a long discussion, I guess it is time to approve the new standardization for football team squads. It has been discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Clubs. It would be characterized as follows:
The templates to be made up are explained on the talk too. -- Angelo 21:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Template:Football squad start would solve that problem, and is highly advisable IMHO.

I made the Template:nft which cold be very useful. Writing {{nft|Brazil}} will link to the Brazil national team. There was a place to put all this templates around here, but I can't fnd it. -- Wonderfool t (c) 14:08, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
After few experiments with {{ nft}}, I couldn't get it to work with possibility to change what to show, while leaving it substable. So I made {{ nft2}}; you can now write {{subst:nft2|Belarus|such}} to make such link. -- Monkbel 14:47, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
What about a template for the players' career? Like "Year" "Team" "GP" "Goals" or something like that. I'd be available to put it into some player's articles. -- necronudist 13:07, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
There are now over a dozen stub tags that can be applied to football articles, a lot of them splitting down by continent. In particular, the subcategories of Football (soccer) biography stubs have only just been created, so there is a lot of legwork required to restub these appropriately.
I just made this page, but stumbled when it came to colour schemes, being all numbers. The shirt colours can be found at The homepage. -- Dangherous 17:36, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
You can find the colour codes in List of colors. Julien Tuerlinckx 18:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

As the England and Argentina football rivalry article is a great one IMHO, but not the only international rivalry worthy of an article, I'd really like to see articles on Argentina and Brazil football rivalry and Germany and the Netherlands football rivalry, to mention two. What other rivalries on this level are a must have? -- Elisson • Talk 00:22, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't know where to place this, but here's my question. As an amateur soccer player, I was wondering if perhaps someone could create an article listing various soccer commands and perhaps their meaning, such as 'man on' or 'cross' or stuff like that. This could also be translated into other languages. Thanks for reading. Gflores Talk 03:20, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I was toying with the idea of doing an article with a list of the team dresses/kits of all national teams, using Template:Football kit. It would be similar to gallery of sovereign state flags, but with football kits instead. What do you think? Is it a good idea? Should I go for it, or cancel the project? • 辻斬り ? 21:14, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I was looking through Hungary-related player, stadium and club pages and found they are more or less neglected. (Which conforms to the present state of Hungarian football but that's another story.) So I've decided to fix and expand as many entries as I can. This will include the one on Ferenc Puskás, based on the aforementioned German article and the [ |biography] published this year. I'm glad to find this project. -- Biziclop 11:24, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Me again. A few weeks ago I uploaded two images to Commons which allegedly show football player Abby Dahlkemper (then of the UCLA women's soccer team and now signed with the Western New York Flash). Judging from the UCLA roster of 2014, however, shirt number 21 seems to have belonged to Megan Oyster (current Washington Spirit rookie). Considering that both players kinda do look alike... is the original file description wrong? -- Headlocker ( talk) 15:45, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
