Talk:2006 FIFA World Cup squads

thread_title: Speculation

message: Oh, someone's created this page. I had a page in my userspace with provisional squads, but I was waiting for final squads to be announced before creating a new page. Might as well merge now. Oldelpaso 18:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge pending

message: I've changed some ages to the date of birth as I think it has less scope for ambiguity. Oldelpaso 18:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree we should avoid ambiguity, but ages allow easier scanning. Perhaps we could state in the lead that age is the age of the player on the date of the first game of the World Cup (June 9th)?  HornetMike 20:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whichever is used, it should be consistent throughout. I'll hold fire on changing any more for now. All parameters should be listed according to what is correct on the day the tournament starts. Oldelpaso 22:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed that we should either one or the other, not both. Looking back at pages for older tournaments, 2002 is all ages, 1998 is a combination of both, whilst ones before that seem to be predominantly DOB. As I said, I think age is better. Looking at the 1990 list, each time I had to do a bit of addition to work out how old the player was when the tournament occurred. Obviously with age you don't get that problem, although obviously requires more work in its implementation. HornetMike 23:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops, just noticed this discussion! Can I suggest that we add DOBs for now (as I've done for the England squad), as they would be easier to convert to an age than it would be to calculate a DOB from an age? Then we could change them fairly quickly if we wanted to. Starfighter Pilot 10:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Since the World Cup lasts a month, some players' ages will change, so the DOB format works best. Slumgum | yap | stalk | 21:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, as you say with caps below - if we do age we can just use June 9th as the watershed, and add something to the lead saying "as of beginning of tournament." HornetMike 06:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Age/DoB

message: The amount of caps a player has will change throughout the comp. It's probably best not to include any World Cup (2006) matches.  June 9 should be the watershed on that figure. I reckon. Slumgum | yap | stalk | 21:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Please note that in addition to the  templates, which have been put in use on all other World Cup squad lists, there exists an alternate version, , which includes a Goals column.  This version has not been used on the past squad lists for want of information.  However, the version with Goals column may be more suitable here, since the Goals column for present players should be more readily accessible when the squad lists are compiled.  Please consider.
In any case, let's apply one template consistently throughout this article.  --Pkchan 05:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

message: How about setting up a straw poll to gather consensus here?  There appear to be four choices in front of us:
# Use a player's contractual club affiliation as at the start of the tournament, discarding loan deals.
# Use a player's contractual club affiliation as at the start of the tournament, taking into account loan deals in effect as at that date.
# Follow the FIFA list.

What a bullshit...however, not gonna reply you anymore. And not gonna posting here anymore. And not gonna watching this page anymore. Do what you want, write his youth club if you want. I will not take part to this shit. We're discussing and a man named Ed is editing all the clubs updating them to the next season...That's all ridiculous. Here is just like a nursery.

replies: text:  comment At least for Germany the current club is the one the player played for last season (i.e. this season, because the season ends June 30th), is there no one who can clarify this for the rest of the world, when do contractual seasons end elsewhere? Like Matthew hk I am also assuming that the rest of the world does it in the same way, beacuse FIFA has instituted international transfer windows. Because if e.g. Ballack were to join Chelsea before July 1st he would not be able to leave on a free transfer, because he still has a contract with Bayern Munich. And, btw, whoever it is, who is editing the current version replacing the so far used version should stop that, constant reverting is painstakingly annoying. -- Jinxo 09:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

text: OK, so I think there's little doubt that a concensus was reached, but looking at the actual page it is not being inforced. Ballack at Chelsea, etc.. I see below that the FIFA information is lacking for two players (I don't count the loan situations), I guess special cases can be made for them. I would be willing to do my bit in watching and reverting this page, but I haven't done any work on it as of now.

message: Note from Wikipedia:Straw polls:
Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy.
Its primary method of finding  consensus is discussion, not  voting. In difficult cases,  straw polls may be conducted to help determine consensus, but are to be used with caution and not to be treated as binding votes. 
Just as long as we bear that in mind when deciding on the outcome of this. --Robdurbar 16:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: About FIFA list

message: Do we really want to sort the squads by number rather than by position? I myself am rather unsure about what to do. Both ways have their advantages. -- 84.57.87.2
:I would say we list them by squad number. After all, not only is squad number the first column, but it would suggest that the team's first XI is listed first. I believe previous World Cup squads have been listed by number as well (e.g. 2002 FIFA World Cup (squads)) so that's good for consistancy. Starfighter Pilot 12:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, lets list the squads by number rather than position.  Referencing will be much easier this way as well.  If somebody logs on during the Portugal game to discover who number 21 is, it's much easier to scroll down by number than to look for the position for each player then look over for the number. Batman2005 16:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Squad numbers are supposed to be the official ordering of any team/squad.  In addition, sorting by squad number serves a very important function here: to facilitate checking against repeated/missing squad numbers.  --Pkchan 16:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorting by squad number in my opinion gives no useful information to the reader, it's just a de-facto sorting method. Sorting by position actually helps one to see the make-up of the squad more easily, e.g. whether a squad has 4 or 5 strikers. Both the French/German version and the current one employed on this page have all the information, but it's easier to get it from their tables. It's also more aesthetically pleasing :) aLii 16:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Much like in other language wikipedias, where they also use different colours. Mariano(t/c) 07:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah! We should clean our asses with conventions! =_= --necronudist 11:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: A squad number is simple, unique, indisputable and definite. Player positions are sometimes a matter of opinion, versatile players have more than one position, and positions can change throughout a tournament.Slumgum | yap | stalk | 13:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Arguably squad number does give the reader the "first team" of the nation as well, as they're generally given numbers 1-11. So it does give some (sort of) information to the reader! I support using them for the reasons Slumgum gave... HornetMike 04:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree that sorting by squad numbers makes the most sense. It's the first column and will usually have a lot to say about the first team. If someone wants to find an individual player, it isn't that difficult to glance along the column or search separately. -- Alias Flood 04:28, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

text: See my comment below under 'Consistency'; issues like this really challenge the boundaries of a conventional wiki.   What I think we need to do is invent a Wiki enhancement that supports sortable structured data while allowing for the same tracked edits that we know and love.  Maybe such exists and I just don't know it.- PhilipR 16:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Now that the squads are finalised (apart from last minute changes) can we not delete the notices "23 man squad named May 9" and the lengthy citeweb data attached to them? Also, I feel the standby squad members sections are not really needed unless a chage is actually made. Slumgum | yap | stalk | 01:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I would remove all the introductory information for the squads (i.e. when it was announced, injuries, etc) as well as removing the alternate players.  If a change is made we can easily reflect that on the page. Batman2005 01:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I second the notion of keeping stand-bys til the day of the respective team's first match (if I remember correctly that's the cutt-off point, not June 9th per se, but I might be wrong there). After that they can all go. The citation I think can all simply go, becuase you could simply refer to the FIFA page or any other news site offering squad lists. -- Jinxo 09:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I am getting tired of re-editing people like Ze Roberto or Jacek Krzynowek - who will change clubs/become free agents on July 1st when their contract with their German teams run out - just because people have either no idea of waht football contracts in Germany are made up of or simply desperatly search for something to edit. -- Jinxo 23:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
