message: Here is an improved 1.3 version, with templates. I think it looks good, but with 3 clicks. Please, feel free to tip any possible improvement. Later, I'll improve the 2.1 version. --ClaudioMB 06:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: No problem at all. By the way, looking all the matches in the proposal, I think the goals list could be aligned left instead of center. I've changed it, if it's not good, please just change "NavContent" from left to center in Template:Fb report team.--ClaudioMB 23:56, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Version 1.3.1

message: I was approached by User:Falastur2 today about an edit I made towards the end of last month. The edit in question involved changing the results tables from one style (which was evidently discussed here, but I never saw) to the style used in previous seasons' Football League Cup articles and also the FA Cup seasons articles. The reason I did this was, first, for standardisation. The previous seasons' and FA Cup articles all followed a certain standard, and this article stuck out like a sore thumb compared to them. My second reason was purely personal, though I'm sure some people will agree with me. That reason was that I felt the "new" style was clumsy and over-elaborate. The font looked odd compared to the rest of the article, and the table itself looked like  and the above tables had been forcefully mushed together. Furthermore, the show/hide toggle makes it look tacky. If a better version could be created, then perhaps I could be swayed, but at the minute I really think the pre-PeeJay version just looked a bit ugly. – PeeJay 14:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to disagree with User:PeeJay2K3. First, there is no need for standardization with previous years. Doing so, will make improvements very difficult. Second, I don't see anything odd about the font used in the tables, it is exactly the same one used in the whole article. Third, I consider the show/hide toggle a good feature for an article like this one, because makes the article cleaner (using  makes the article clutter) and because I consider that most of the readers don't want to see details of all matches, they want to see results and details from some matches. So, I'm proposing to use the table that show/hide the details like in this version Football League Cup 2007-08 at 14:40, 24 January 2008--ClaudioMB (talk) 18:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that there was nothing wrong with the old style, IMO. The use of tables for the earlier rounds was neat and got all the relevant information across in a concise manner, while the use of the  template was more appropriate for the latter stages as all rounds from the quarter-finals onwards usually attract the most attention. Like I said, if you can find a better way to present the information, then I would be more receptive, but the one you proposed above isn't it, IMO. – PeeJay 18:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
