Talk:NEC Nijmegen

message: Many parts of this page look like they are machine-translated from Dutch to English. Or someone has been sleeping through English lessons in high school. --Robert (talk) 19:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed it all. It was literally translated from Dutch to English, word by word, which rendered it incomprehensible. Rewriting it was not an option, as it was pov fancruft. Aecis·(away) talk 18:24, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Poor translation

message: Hey all,
I think that this page should be named "N.E.C.", and not "N.E.C. Nijmegen". There was a long discussion on the Dutch WP, which involved asking the club themselves and looking to the registry at the Dutch chamber of commerce, and the result was to call them "N.E.C.", as the "N" already stands for Nijmegen.

replies: text: If you think the article should be renamed, I recommend you follow the steps outlined at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves and get both WikiProject Netherlands and WikiProject Football involved. General guideline on the English-language Wikipedia is to use the most common English-language name. Aecis·(away) talk 00:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article was moved anyway so Aecis' excellent advice was disregarded. Sorry but the logo clearly says NEC Nijmegen. Is the official logo of this club illegal? Why consider only one possible argument? (though legitimate among many others) What about a WP dab? What about the clear FACT that the Dutch newspapers almost without exception write NEC without periods? What about the international convention? Let's not adopt tunnel vision at WP! gidonb (talk) 23:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

message: the team name on this page should be N.E.C. (football club), it stands for Nijmegen Eendracht Combinatie. There are instances in Dutch football where the city name is legally represented in the club name, such as VVV-Venlo, MVV Maastricht, NAC Breda, Sparta Rotterdam or most recently Roda JC Kerkrade. In all these instances the clubs were bailed out financially by their respective municipalities, and were therefore forced to include the city name in that of the clubs as a stipulation. Prior to the bailout these clubs competed professionally as VVV, MVV, NAC, Sparta and Roda JC, just to name a few instances where this is the case. This is not the case for AZ, although foreign media address the club as AZ Alkmaar. or with PSV Eindhoven. Eindhoven itself is not really in the name of the club. Same goes for N.E.C. They have had private investors help in times of need, but the club is not known as NEC Nijmegen. (Subzzee (talk) 20:00, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
