Talk:Swansea City A.F.C.

message: Personally, I find this debate silly, but here is what I think, according to WP:EL:
(NOTE:The following are my opinions on what should happen. However, my opinions are not necessarily what should happen. It is just what I see with the external links. It is by no means a concrete list of what should stay or what should go.)
Of the links in the section, listed below:
* Official club website Stays, per WP:EL#What should be linked to, number 1.
* Swans Online.co.uk Goes, possible copyright infringment of videos hosted on YouTube, per WP:EL#Occasionally acceptable links, number 5. If video section was removed, this site would be an excellent resource.
* Jackarmy Stays, per WP:EL#Occasionally acceptable links, number 3; unique perspective, with numerous message boards
* SCFC.co.uk Stays, per WP:EL#Occasionally acceptable links, number 3; many columnists give unique perspective.
* Swansea City AFC fan site Goes, per WP:EL#Links to normally avoid, number 5; questionable amount of advertising (right side)
* Swansea City Supporters' Trust Goes, per WP:EL#Links to normally avoid, number 4; site exists to inform members of meeting minutes and the like, but (in my opinion) only exists to obtain more members (i.e. selling a "service"), and doesn't provide any unique information, except maybe the opinion of the fans en masse.
Hope that helps! Once again, only my opinion — Ian Manka Talk to me! 17:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: British English should be used for articles on Britain related topics. Likewise, American English should be used on articles pertaining to American topics. For a clearer example, please visit this sub-section on the differences between their usage. However, is" works better than "are" with the term  club as it is a singular and not a plural noun. (Compare with the word team which is a plural noun) --Siva1979Talk to me 18:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: These need some help as some of them are awful, full of typos and factual inaccuracies.  It's been possible to break up the club's recent history into phases such as Rise and Fall.  However, it seems that some of these sections are little more than lists of wins in cup competitions and insignificant league results.
These sections need some work; will anyone volunteer to take a section and try to bring it to the standard of the 1977-1986 paragraphs which are accurate, concise and chronologically faithful?
I will take 1986-1995 which is within my own memory span, although I will need to refer to sources for details.  I suggest other contributors do likewise to ensure accuracy. - Stevecov 00:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: there has been quite a bit of vandalsim made to the page over the last few months made by cardiff fans as it appears to be. cant we get one of those locks that only allows registered accounts to make edits to stop the problem. Swanseajack4life (talk) 15:26, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Requests can be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. However, the frequency of vandalism is probably not sufficient to justify semi-protection. From a brief look at the history I see three or four instances of vandalism in a month and a bit, which are outnumbered by good faith IP edits. Oldelpaso (talk) 16:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I've just reverted a number of edits in the last few minutes that gave speculative information about Brendan Rogers, presumably following media rumours that he's off to Liverpool. According to The Guardian as of 17:01 on Wednesday he's only 'likely' to move. Until such time as a move is confirmed, he's still the manager of Swansea. I'll see if we can get some protection on the page just until things are decided. - Cucumber Mike (talk) 16:22, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The section on the rivalry v Cardiff mentions neither team has done the double and refered to an article discussing winning the league title and FA Cup. I am sure from context that is not what is mean't by the double here, and rather it means 1 team beating the other twice in 1 season. Is that correct?. Op47 (talk) 16:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct. 'Double' in this context means 'beating the other team twice over the two league fixtures (home and away) in the same season'. Any other matches (Friendlies, FA Cup, League Cup, Welsh Cup etc) are not included in this 'double'. Roguesoul (talk) 11:40, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Surely there is a less confusing way to phrase this? Obviously it's meant to explain to people that Swansea qualify for European competitions via places given to them via competing in English' domestic leagues, but this hardly the same thing as what "representing England" usually means in a sporting context.

message: I am not sure yet if Wilfried Bony would get the number 2 shirt as  1) I haven't found any sources saying he has that number (as of 7:00 UTC).  2) That number is reserved for Jordi Amat who is on loan for now.
