thread_title:  Official Nicknames 

message: This must be up for debate as Rangers have never won the European Cup/Champions League and as far as im aware have only won one European trophy,the now defunct European Cup Winners Cup
With the most domestic titles I think it's pretty accurate to say that they are the most successful in Scotland. Wr50l 04:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Totally agree, they are the first team to win 100 trophies, well except linfield and they've also got the most trophies except linfield. Hermangelmet 10:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: See the "Most trophies ever" section further down. - Dudesleeper ·  Talk 18:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most Successful team? 

message: Just a quick query as to why the first team was reverted back to the wrong first team. The team (as it now seems to be) is as follows:
GK - 22 Alan McGregor, LB - 26 "Super" Stevie Smith, CB - 7 Brahim Hemdani, CB - 19 Karl Svennson, LM - 25 Charlie Adam, CM - 8 Jeremy Clement, CM - 6 Barry Ferguson (c), RM - 17 Chris Burke, CF - 9 Dado Prso, CF - 10 Nacho Novo Chriswood87 13:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  First Team Squad 

message: Is my memory going wonky again, or did Rangers have an Israeli 'keeper at one point (maybe in the mid 90s?)? Was it Bonny Ginsburg (or similar spelling)? I couldn't find him in the Category of Rangers players, so wondered if I'd imagined it. --Dweller 17:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, Bonni Ginzburg. Doesn't have a Wikipedia article, although the other Israeli Gers player at the time Avi Cohen does. . Archibald99 17:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Something's going on with the UEFA Cup template at the bottom of the article, and it's beyond my ken as to how to fix it.

thread_title:  HTML faux pas 

message: Dudesleeper, you have possibly never lived abroad? Except maybe England. It is COMMON PRACTICE in foreign countries, at least in German-speaking ones where I lived, to use the city name as part of the team name, such as Arsenal London. It's the same faux-pas as calling Red Star "Red Star Belgrade", Inter "Inter Milan", etc... Maybe there should be a page explaining this, with examples, that all these falsely named clubs can be linked to.
- ByteofKnowledge 14:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Arsenal London is at least popular enough a name to warrant a redirect on Wikipedia. Try googling the phrase too, you'll find a lot of hits, mainly foreign sites. ByteofKnowledge 14:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe I removed your edit in haste. I was born in England but have lived in the States for the last five years and still haven't heard London Arsenal, but that's because I tend to tune out of American renamings. The clarifying article you think should be started sounds like a reasonably large project, but it sounds interesting. - Dudesleeper 16:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I was going to use Inter Milan as my replacement example, but their official name is Football Club Internazionale Milano SpA, so it wouldn't really be out of order to use the English term. - Dudesleeper 16:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've not heard too much of this usage here in the States either. But the usage does exist, primarily when a speaker or writer is from another country to the team being spoken about. Which in the case of English journalists talking about Scotland is entirely true. ByteofKnowledge 18:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  City names as prefix/suffix 

message: I noticed a fairly large amount of the famous players currently hold some role at Rangers as coaches, directors etc.: Greig, Durrant, Jardine, possibly McCoist soon. Would it be a worthwhile addition to denote these with a ³? Archibald99 20:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: firstly walter smith is a mbe and super ally is an obe.

:Per the Peer review (link above) some of that info isn't needed. I'll try and fit in a reference to Murray Park (Auchenhowie) ;). Archibald99 19:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In the two days since the semi-protect was removed, there has been a significant amount of vandalism.  I noticed that this was not so when semi-protected.  Perhaps the page should get protected again? 206.130.173.38 20:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 37 changes between vandals and reverts since yesterday.  I vote for a semi-protect.  69.158.69.188 00:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I had unprotected as it had been under semi-protection for over 2 months. Blocking contributors from editing permanently is against the spirit of the project, so I thought I would give it abother chance. However, it does appear that this arictle is one that is going to be perpetually vandalised, therefore I will re-semi-protect. Rockpocket 03:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Semi-Protect? 

message: The real name according to my pal, who works for Rangers, is 'The Rangers Football Club' as this is what it says inside Ibrox Park

thread_title:  Real Name 

message: I have just read your spread on Rangers and I am very impressed. One error of ommission that I have detected in Cups won is the Victory Cup, 1945. I was at that Cup Final and witnessed Rangers beat Hibernian 3-1.
To make things worse I see that you have creditted the said Cup to Celtic. Please check this out and correct both pages.---- H.Paterson

thread_title:  Rangers FC 

message: Just checking to confirm that the above (in Rangers' notable-players section) was a Rangers player at one point, because the club isn't mentioned in his article. - Dudesleeper ·  Talk 22:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm looking into it just now. He is in :Category:Rangers F.C. players. Strange one. WATP  22:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Haven't found a definitive answer yet, but Rangers were mentioned in the article from its creation in 2005 until a week ago. WATP  22:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've enquired with Punkmorten, who started his article. - Dudesleeper ·  Talk 22:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this, he was on Rangers' books twice but didn't make a first-team appearance. I took the liberty of making his first stint a loan one in his article. He definitely shouldn't have been in Rangers' notable players section, though. - Dudesleeper ·  Talk 22:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: About time a few more less-than-notable players were removed and some criteria were drawn up. But I'm very busy right now. WATP  22:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
