Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Competitions

message: Please create new discussions on the general WikiProject Football talk page. The discussions below are kept only for historical value.
I just started this to carry on the good work that Johan Elisson has done with other templates for this subsection; the tournament history templates are taken from Football World Cup and Cup Winners' Cup but can be improved any way you like. Qwghlm 17:22, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
: Good! I think, in the future, we need to split up this page in subpages, but this is fine for now! Hope everyone else follows and makes contributions to the styles, or gives suggestions on the corresponding talk pages. -- Elisson • Talk 20:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Please people... get it toghether and at least make it neat looking...
:its not an article, why does it have to be neat. If you are looking to use this place as an encyclopedia, you have inadevertantly stumbled upon wikipedias inner workings, where neatness is a low priority. Philc TECI 20:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any convention in Commonwealth English sportswriting, or Wikipedia football writing, to use singular and plural articles and verbs for football clubs or teams, regardless of singular and plural proper names?  Or any contrary convention to follow the proper noun always?
England win 3-0, England wins 3-0; Blackburn Rovers win, Blackburne Rovers wins; Blackburn Rovers F.C. win, Blackburne Rovers F.C. wins; Wanderers were the greatest, Wanderers was the greatest . . . 
By the way, is every English football club literally named Football Club? --P64 02:27, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why there is no Superleague 2007 article, like the other domestic leagues ? Why does it is written on 2007-08 in Greek football ?
It seems it's the same issue for the argentinian league, even if it would be better to make an article for every clausura/apertura tournement rather than a whole season, which is not that representative, is it ?

thread_title:  Leagues in Argentina, Greece.. 

message: Not sure if this is the right place for this discussion, but... league tables. Points on the right is the standard accepted throughout the world; so why oh why are there so many with points to the left (mostly in articles about competitions with group stages; 2006 FIFA World Cup for instance)? Was an executive decision made by the project to put points on the left, or did somebody do it and nobody got round to doing anything about it? Either way, I'm curious, and would wholeheartedly promote a move to points on the right throughout all articles affected by the Project. Failing that, a discussion about the decision would be a good goal - it's been raised on a couple of the individual articles, but I feel it should be brought to the attention of the Project as a whole.

thread_title:  League tables 

message: At what point in a club tournament's history -- I'm specifically asking in regards to the North American SuperLiga -- does it become acceptable to create an article that would consolidate into a set of wikitables all of the previous winners, goalscorers, etc. I created a section on the tournament's main page that was subsequently updated & edited by other users after the 2008 tournament, the 2nd NA SuperLiga, was completed earlier this year, but it has since been deleted. Here is the archived page with tables included. If it is superfluous to include this information after only two tournaments have been played then I have no problem with it, but with limited input from users it can be difficult to attain a consensus.
